Danger due to electrical current! 
 All work on the device should only be carried 
out by qualified electricians. Both the country-
specific regulations and the valid EIB guidelines 
should be observed.
When selecting a suitable installation site, you should 
take numerous standpoints into account so that the 
movement detector operates at the optimum level.
The following diagram shows the ranges of the AR-
GUS. They are based on average temperature conditi-
ons at a mounting height of 2.5 m. The range of a 
movement detector can fluctuate considerably at vari-
able temperatures.
– A: Inner security zone with an angle of detection of 
360° and a radius of approx. 4 m.
– B: Central security zone with an angle of detection 
of 220° and an area of detection of approx. 
9mx18m.
– C: Outer security zone with an angle of detection of 
220° and an area of detection of approx. 
16 m x 28 m.
