Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard

• Subtle appearance
• Diverse potential applications
• Short-term presence function for conference or training rooms
• Precise presence and motion detection across 360°

• Flexible ceiling mounting concept
• Daylight-dependent lighting control
• Energy-saving optimisation through adaptive delay time

Thanks to its subtle design, the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard blends unobtrusively with its surroundings. The design rings can be given a colour coating so that they match the wall or ceiling, as desired.

The flexible housing design ­makes the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard suitable for use in 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 Standard is available in ‘ceiling mounting’ (standard), ‘flush mounted box installation’, and ‘surface-mounted’ versions.

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard 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, semi-automatic, as well as fully-automatic control is 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 dusk stage of the brightness sensor can be set via the ETS, by using the teach-in function on the device, or by using communication 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 Standard detects motion only briefly, it selects 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 Standard offers the option of continuously analysing user behaviour, thereby independently optimising the delay time (transmission delay). This saves energy and conserves the light source by preventing unnecessary switching on and off. The longer the period during which people are detected in the room, the longer the delay time. If a room is only entered sporadically for short periods of time, the Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard will reduce the delay time. The minimum and maximum values can be freely defined.

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

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Standard is designed to be mounted on the ceiling. It can be installed indoors and outdoors. The flexible installation concept has a great many installation advantages. As standard, products are shipped in the ‘ceiling-mounted’ mounting type for indoor use. To install the devices, a hole is cut into the ceiling by the installer. who then inserts them into the ceiling and fastens them 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.

Commissioning is carried out by means of ETS. The KNX product database is based on the software used by the Gira KNX presence detectors, meaning that no familiarisation period will be necessary.
