Thanks to its subtle design, the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard subtly blends into its surroundings. The design rings can be painted over to match the wall or ceiling, as required.

The flexible housing design makes the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort suitable for all rooms and areas. Its IP 44 protection means that it can even be installed outdoors or in rooms with high humidity. The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort is available in ‘ceiling-mounted’ (standard), ‘flush-mounted box installation’, and ‘surface-mounted’ versions.

When used in combination with a KNX heating actuator with integrated controller, the KNX presence detector Mini Komfort can also control the room temperature thanks to its integrated temperature sensor. With several temperature sensors in the room, the additional measuring point on the ceiling also enables temperatures to be measured even more accurately.

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort can be used as an individual device, main unit or auxiliary unit, and is thus suitable for equipping a wide range of properties. When used as a main unit or auxiliary unit, both semi-automatic and fully-automatic control are possible. There is a choice of three preconfigured operating modes: presence detector, ceiling monitor and alarm device. It can also be combined with other Gira KNX presence detectors.

An integrated brightness sensor measures the current light intensity, thus providing the option of lighting control depending on the daylight available. This means that the lighting is only switched on when the room is not bright enough. If there is sufficient daylight, the lights stay off. The brightness sensor’s twilight stage can be set via ETS, by using the teach-in function on the device or by using group objects such as the Gira pushbutton sensor 3.

The short-term presence function is available as an addition to the adaptive delay time especially for light and climate control in conference and training rooms. If the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort detects motion only briefly, it will select the minimum delay time regardless of the self-taught adaptive value. As a result, lighting, heating and ventilation will not remain switched on unnecessarily if somebody enters the room temporarily during a long conference break, e.g. the cleaning staff or catering service.

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort offers the option of continuously analysing user behaviour to optimise the delay time (transmission delay) independently. This saves energy and protects the light sources by preventing unnecessary switching on and off. The longer the period during which people are detected in the room, the longer the delay time. The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort will reduce the delay time if people only briefly enter a room from time to time. The minimum and maximum values can be freely defined.

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort offers multiple intelligent lighting control options, with which room lighting can be maintained at a set level even as the amount of daylight changes. Up to three light groups can be controlled, meaning that lamps near the window and far from the window can be regulated separately. As a result, dimming up and dimming down properties can be set flexibly. In addition, the device is able to automatically calculate the required setpoint for the preferred level of light in the room and set it directly. This prevents annoying oscillations in light intensity.

Settings such as the twilight stage or additional delay time can be conveniently changed with the infrared remote control, which is available separately. In addition, it is possible to switch the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort on or off manually.

The device is equipped with three PIR sensors covering a range of 360° (3 x 120°). The sensitivity of the sensors can be adjusted and flexibly adapted to individual installation positions, which enables movements to be reliably detected and prevents accidental triggering. In addition, the detection range can be limited using a clip-on panel.

Five configurable function blocks are available for the following operating modes: presence detector, ceiling monitor and alarm device. The function block that is active can be switched – either automatically in the KNX system or manually using any group object such as the Gira pushbutton sensor 3, in order to change from day mode to night mode, for example. Apart from an additional function block for brightness control with limit value monitoring, there is also an additional function block for lighting control. If required, this can be linked directly in the device to the presence and motion detection.

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort is designed for ceiling mounting. It can be installed indoors and outdoors. The flexible installation design has many installation advantages. As standard, products are shipped in the ‘ceiling-mounted’ mounting type for indoor use. To install the devices, the installer cuts a hole in the ceiling. The devices are then inserted into the ceiling and locked in place with spring clamps. In combination with different mounting kits for flush-mounted box installation and surface-mounted installation, it is possible to install the devices in existing flush-mounted boxes, or to mount them on surfaces unsuitable for flush-mounted boxes. The devices can also be installed outdoors or in rooms with high humidity. All operating elements on the device are accessible from the front and can be reached by removing the corresponding design ring. The design rings can be painted over.

ETS software carries out start-up. The KNX product database is based on the software used by the Gira KNX presence detectors, meaning that no familiarisation period will be necessary.
