2 Product description

The ekinex

presence detector is a KNX S-mode device for the indoor detection of occupancy and

movement of people, with an effective detection range of 360° thanks to its three passive infrared (PIR)

sensors.

The detection range can be further extended by employing more ekinex® presence detector devices as slave units. Two channels C1 and C2 are available for the lighting function; these can be used to achieve a

constant brightness control by using C2 as an offset input respective to C1 (from -50% to +50%).

The light intensity in constant brightness control is measured by the integrated brightness sensor; its value is made available for bus transmission in Lux units (2 byte). An orientation light function can be programmed

with a standby value (in %) and a duration value (in minutes or hours).

The channel dedicated to HVAC applications allows the independent control of terminal devices dedicated to

Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning.

The device is equipped with an integrated bus communication module and is designed for ceiling flush

mounting. Several versions are available which differ in the detection range and in the lens and frame type. The device power supply is taken from the KNX bus and no auxiliary power supply is required.

2.1 Versions

The device is available in four versions which differ in the detection range (either 16 or 30 m) and the frame

shape (round or square).

2.2 Scope of supply

The scope of supply of every ekinex® presence detector includes the device, a lens complete with a frame, a KNX standard plug for the connection with the KNX bus, and a set of fixing screws. No additionally ordered

part is required.

The ETS application program can be downloaded from the ekinex

website www.ekinex.com.

In case of need (e.g. for replacement of broken parts), the device and the lens / frame assemblies can be

supplied separately; their codes are listed in the following table.

2.3 Operation

The presence detector reacts to the thermal radiation emitted by moving bodies. A person that crosses the monitored area automatically activates the lighting. As soon as the sensor does no longer detect any movement, a delay is started (whose duration is configured through ETS) after which the lighting is switched

off.

If the standby mode is active, the lighting is maintained at a lower brightness level as an orientation light for

the length of the configured standby time.

2.4 Light intensity measurement

The ambient light intensity is measured by an integrated brightness sensor having a linear output profile and

an additional filter matched to the human visual sensitivity.

The light sensor is capable of sending a binary telegram (On or Off) to signal a light intensity level which is higher or lower than a configured threshold value, regardless to the operation mode. The measured

brightness level in Lux units can further be transmitted on the KNX bus.

2.5 Lighting channel

Two operating modes can be chosen for the lighting channel during the configuration phase:

• fully automatic

• semi-automatic

The fully automatic mode has three different states, i.e. ready, active and passive, whereas the semiautomatic mode only has the ready and active states. In semi-automatic mode, the lighting is not activated after the detection of a movement, but only after pressing an external pushbutton.

2.6 HVAC Channel

The HVAC channel has the same operating modes and communication objects as the lighting channel; the detection of movement and presence is enhanced though, introducing the “long duration” principle. The detection is based on several time windows (from 2 up to 20) of equal width; in every one of these windows

at least one movement must be detected in order to yield a positive response.

2.7 Effective detection range

The effective sensor detection range varies according to the installation height. The more beaming sectors

are crossed by the person to be detected, the higher is the effectivity at that range. Detectors with 16 m maximum range The EK-DB2-TP and EK-DC2-TP sensors are capable of detecting presence (people sitting, small

movements) within an area of 4 to 8 meters of diameter, and movement (people crossing the monitoring

field) within an area of 10 to 16 meters of diameter.

3 Configuration

The operation of the device is defined through the software-configured settings.

In order to configure the device, the ETS3 software tool (or later versions) is required, together with the ekinex® application program APEKSP2TP##.vd4 (## stands for the version number). This latter can be

downloaded from the ekinex website www.ekinex.com.

Please note that the configuration program is exactly the same for all four device types which are subject of this manual; as a matter of fact, as can also be seen from section 2.2 (Scope of Supply), the code used in the program name is the code of the “bare” device, and the difference betwees the four device types lies

entirely in the kind of parts assembled on the bare device.

The application program allows the user to access, within the environment of the ETS configuration tool, the configuration of all of the device’s working parameters. The application program file must be loaded in ETS (optionally the entire database of all ekinex products can be loaded in one single step); thereafter, any

number of devices of the corresponding types can be added to the current ETS project. The configurable parameters for the device are described in detail in the following sections. The configuration can (and usually will) be defined entirely in an off-line fashion, i.e. without being connected

to a device or a KNX network; the transfer of the configuration to the device(s) will therefore happen in a later

phase (the programming phase, described in the following section).

Configuration and commissioning of KNX devices require specialized skills.

In order to properly acquire such skills, attendance to dedicated courses organized by KNX certified

training centers is recommended.

4 Commissioning

After the device has been configured within the ETS project according to user requirements, the

commissioning of the device requires the following activities:

• electrically connect the device, as described in the product datasheet, to the bus line on the final network or through a purposely setup network for programming;

• apply power to the bus;

• switch the device operation to programming mode by pressing the programming pushbutton located

on the rear side of the housing. In this mode of operation, the programming LED is turned on steady;

• upload the configuration (including the physical address) to the device with the ETS program.

At the end of the upload, the operation of the device automatically returns to normal mode; in this mode the

programming LED is turned off. Now the device is programmed and ready for use on the bus.
