2 • DESCRIPTION

The ESYLUX PD-C360i/8 and 12 mini KNX are presence detectors with a 360°field of
detection and integrated bus coupler designed for ceiling mounting. Follow the installation
instructions provided when installing the device. The detector is able to control lighting
("switching" or "constant light control" features).
For additional features, please refer to the “Description of applications” section of the operating
instructions. With a range of up to 8 m or 12 m in diameter, the presence detector is suitable for
use in offices, classrooms, conference facilities and passageways with natural lighting.

The PD-C360i/8 and 12 mini KNX are only intended for use in a KNX (EIB), TP (twisted pair)
bus system in conjunction with other KNX components.

If the PD-C360i/8 or 12 mini KNX detects that persons are present in its field of detection, it
transmits regulating or controlling telegrams for light outputs, depending on ambient brightness,
and for HVAC(heating, ventilation and air conditioning) objects.

• Blended light measurement is suitable for FL, PL, halogen and incandescent lamps.

Certified KNX/EIB training centres provide specialist training on how to plan, install, activate,
document and use the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) that is required for parameter setting.

3 • INSTALLATION / ASSEMBLY / CONNECTION

See separate installation instructions.

Mobil-PDi/User

4 • START-UP

All parameter settings are carried out via the ETS
(Engineering Tool Software). The magnet provided
can be used to activate the programming status for the
physical address on the PD-C360i/8 and 12 mini KNX.
This is indicated by the blue LED. The product database
and application description are available to download
at www.esylux.com.

5 • SWITCH-ON BEHAVIOUR / LED DISPLAY

• Connect the bus supply

This initiates a warm-up phase that lasts approx. 10 seconds.
The red LED and green LED will slowly flash alternately (f = 1 Hz).

• LED display after warm-up
Each time motion is detected, this is indicated by 2 x flashes of the preset LED colour.

• In the "Master" function, the remote control entries will be acknowledged
by 3 flashes from the blue LED .

• In the "Slave" function, each detected movement is acknowledged by 2 flashes from the green LED.

NOTE: The green LED will only light up when motion is detected if it has been enabled by the ETS
(Engineering Tool Software).

6 • TEST MODE

Parameters can be set via the ETS (Engineering Tool Software).
Test mode switches to the RUN status after “storing”, or 10minutes after activating the test
mode. The blue LED flashes to indicate movement.

7 • REMOTE CONTROL

The optional user remote control Mobil-PDi/User (EM10425547) can be used to regulate/
control the lighting.
The Mobil-PDi/User remote control adjusts the value for the period that persons are present plus
the switch off time. Thereafter, the values set via the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) will apply.

NOTE: In the "Slave" function the detector does not respond to the remote control!

The Mobil-PDi/User can be used to control the lighting as follows:

• switching on or off

• dimming (only with “controlling” feature)

• storing and calling up of 2 scenes

• pressing the "Reset" button resets the KNX presence detector
to the values set via ETS (Engineering Tool Software). The stored
light scenes 1 + 2 are kept.

For further information, please refer to the operating instructions
for the Mobil-PDi/User remote control.

DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION

1. MASTER/SLAVE

The Master detects presence and evaluates it according to set parameters.

"Lighting ON/OFF" or "lighting light value higher/lower"

The Slave is used exclusively to extend the field of detection. Presence is transmitted
to the Master (object 22) for evaluation according to the set parameters.

• Master/Master selection

Two Masters can work in parallel to extend the field of detection.
Each Master evaluates the presence (object 24) according to its parameters
set via the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) and regulates/controls the lighting
appropriately.

Default setting: Master

4. REMOTE CONTROL

This is where you can disable operation via the Mobil-PDi/User or X- REMOTE
(iPhone).

Note: Remote control is disabled in test mode.

2. TEST MODE

(only for Master device configuration)

When test mode "ON" light measurement disabled.

When test mode is enabled, the connection with the lighting system is checked.
If the motion sensor detects movement, the lighting will be "ON" for 5seconds,
followed by a dead time of 1second "OFF".
The blue LED indicates that movement has been detected.
Test ON switches to test OFF automatically after 10minutes, or when the
parameters are stored.

Note: During test Slave input enabled.

3. BEHAVIOUR AFTER ETS DOWNLOAD/RESET

Choose from: "No reaction", "ON", "OFF"
During the process, the following objects are sent:

Switching operating mode:

- Object 5: "Output: Light channel 1 ON/OFF"

- Object 6: "Output: Light channel 2 ON/OFF"

"Controlling" or "regulating" operating mode:

- Object 5: "Output: Light channel ON/OFF"

- Object 8: "Output: Light channel dim value 1"

- Object 9: "Output: Light channel dim value 2"

5. LED IN SENSOR

Option s: choose between one of t he LED brightn ess levels or "OFF"

If the LED is not switched off, you can specify its colour when motion is detected
(2 x flashes) and when motion detection is locked via object 23. You can use
the parameters to set the brightness of the LED to one of five different levels.

5.1. Nightlight function

This function allows you to use the LED as a nightlight. It will switch to one of the
preset colours as soon as the light value falls below or exceeds the threshold.
You can use object 30 to disable the nightlight.

DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION

6. MOTION DETECTION

When movement is detected, this status is maintained for the preset time
period. Then, several requests are sent to the sensors each second to determine
whether further motion has been detected (object 24). You can use one of the
parameters to set the sensor's level of sensitivity.
Object 23 can be used to lock motion detection. The LED will display the
colour selected to indicate this.

7. PRESENCE SIMULATION

The detector keeps a constant record of if and when movement has been
detected, for a period of 1 week. An ON telegram via object 29 can then
be used to switch the channels on or off according to this weekly record. The
stored time lapse is taken into account. Normal motion detection also remains
active during this process.

8. EXTERNAL MASTER/SLAVE

This parameter can be used to determine whether the external master/slave
only sends ON telegrams when motion is detected, or whether the external
device sends an ON telegram when motion is detected and OFF telegrams
when no movement is detected.

DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION

9. LIGHT CHANNEL

9.1 Light channel operating mode

• “Full automatic” operating mode

Lighting is automatically switched on if the detector detects presence and the
ambient lighting level has fallen below the preset brightness threshold or set
value. The lighting is automatically switched off if no persons are present and
once the set switch off time has elapsed.
The lighting will also switch off automatically if the preset brightness threshold
or set value is exceeded, regardless of presence.
When persons are present, in order to avoid sudden changes in brightness
caused by undesired switching on/off of the lighting, the detector will only be
triggered after a time delay.
Example: a passing cloud could potentially cause unnecessary switching.
Time delay from "light to dark": 30 seconds.
Time delay from "dark to light": 5 minutes

• Additional manual lighting control in “Full automatic” mode

The lighting can be switched on or off manually using infrared remote control
(Mobil-PDi/User, please also refer to separate Mobil-PDi/User operating
instructions) or by telegrams, e.g. by pressing external KNX/EIB buttons.

If "Manual operation active while presence" is set, the light can be switched on
manually. This will remain switched on for as long as the detector continues to
detect movement, regardless of the ambient brightness.

If "Manual operation active during off-period" is set, the detector turns the lighting to
100% during this period. Once the off-period comes to an end and if there
are persons present, the device will start controlling the light according to the
preset set value.
If no more movement is detected, the detector will revert to the previous automatic
mode after the set switch off time has elapsed.

Note: Applies to all light channel operating modes.

• “Half automatic” operating mode

If “Half automatic” mode has been selected, the lighting must be switched on
manually using infrared remote control (Mobil-PDi/User) or by telegrams, e.g.
by pressing external KNX/EIB buttons. This means that the detector does not
automatically switch "ON" the lighting when persons are present.
However, should the natural lighting level increase and the ambient lighting level
exceed the preset light value, the detector will automatically switch the lighting
off 5minutes after reaching the preset light value, regardless of any presence.
The lighting can subsequently be switched back on manually at any time.
If "Manual operation active during off-period" is set, during this time the detector
behaves in the same way as when the setting "Manual operation active while
presence" is set. The detector then switches to normal operating mode. This
means that the light can be switched on by the user even if the threshold value
has been exceeded, but will then be automatically switched off again once the
preset time has elapsed.

Note: External ON telegram, e.g. through KNX/EIB button, is essential in

“Half automatic” mode! Applies to all light channel operating modes.

DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION

9.2 Light channel function

Options:
Switching: ON/OFF to a defined threshold.
Controlling: ON/light control to a defined set value/(OFF)

constant light control.

Regulating: light is regulated via linear correlation between

the dim value and the light value.

Default setting: Switching

9.3 Light channel switch off time

• Light channel switch off time

Options: 0seconds, 30seconds – 12hours.

Default setting: 5 minutes

9.4 Processing actuator feedback

Objects 12 and 13 (or object 12 when "controlling" or "regulating" is selected)
can be used to evaluate the status object of an actuator. In the event that the
actuator is not only controlled by the detector, the light channel switches to
standby mode if the status of the channel differs from that of the actuator.

9.5 Cyclic sending

The light channel sends its current status in cycles according to specified time
intervals. At the same time, it is also possible to determine whether it repeatedly
sends OFF or ON telegrams in cycles.

9.6 Behaviour at switching on and switching off lock

Options for each include: "No reaction", "Switch off" or "Switch on" the light
channel.

9.7 Telegram filter

This can be used to prevent OFF or ON telegrams from being sent through
the light channel.

9.8 Lighting controlled regardless of presence

9.9 Lighting controlled/regulated regardless of presence

An ON telegram can be sent via object 4 to initiate light control/regulation
regardless of presence, if this function has been enabled in the parameters (only
visible in controlling/regulating operating mode).

10. LIGHT CHANNEL FUNCTION

10.1 Switching

Threshold 0 = deactivated, motion detection only
Threshold 1– 2,000lux (using the up/down menu) or directly enter a value
between 0 and 2,000 lux
Default setting: 500 lux
There is an option of determining an offset (can also be assigned using objects
10 and 11) between "threshold ON/OFF 1" and "threshold ON/OFF 2"

-50 % to +50 %

Default setting: ±0%

Output telegrams can be sent in binary form (objects 5 and 6), as dim values
(objects 8 and 9), (0…100 %), or as scenes (objects 2 and 3), (1… 64).
Individual parameters can be set for the switch ON and OFF values.

10.2 Controlling

• Dim value when controlling begins

Options: 0…100 % (using the up/down menu) or
directly enter a value between 0 and 100 %
Default setting: 60 %

Control timing: Options: 0.5seconds – 10seconds (up/down menu)

Note: If the c ontrol loop ex hibits a hunt ing tendenc y, the sensor can be a djusted to

various illuminants and ballasts using the “control timing” parameter.

As a rule of thumb: t he slower the ligh ting responds, the long er the control ti ming
(0.5…10seconds).

10.3 Regulating

Lower light value: 0…2,000 lux
Upper light value: 0…2,000 lux

Lower minimal dim value: 0…100 %
Upper maximal dim value: 0...100 %

Note: Always ensure that the maximal value selected is higher than the chosen minimal

value.

Step time: Options: 0.5seconds – 10seconds (up/down menu)

Note: If the control loop exhibits a hunting tendency, the sensor can be adjusted to

various illuminants and ballasts using the “step time” parameter.

As a rule of thumb: the slower the lighting responds, the longer the step time
(0.5 – 10seconds).

Default setting: 2 seconds.

You can specify two light values for light regulation using parameters or telegrams
(communication objects 10 and 11). If the maximal light value is reached, a
telegram is sent with a value of 0 %. If the lower light value is measured, a
telegram is sent with a value of 100 %. In between this, the control variable is
calculated on a linear basis and sent to the dimming actuator (objects 8 & 9).
The externally connected or internal light sensor must be positioned in such a way
to ensure that it receives a large amount of natural light, but little artificial light.

Options: 0/5 - 50 % (up/down menu) in 5 % steps

Note: only active for "Controlling" and "Regulating"!
The orientation light value 1 is active as standard.
Via Object 14, an ON telegram changes the setting to orientation light value 2

and an OFF telegram changes the setting to orientation light value1.

Only active if orientation light has been set to "ON".

Default setting: 10 %

• Orientation light value 2

Options: 0/5 - 50 % (up/down menu) in 5 % steps

Note: only active for constant light control/regulation!

Only active if orientation light has been set to "ON".

Default setting: 25 %

An OFF telegram via object 15 is used to switch off the orientation light function,
while an ON telegram switches it on. If the orientation light function is switched
off, the detector switches to OFF/0 % once there is no more presence and once
the switch off time has elapsed.

DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION

11. HVAC CHANNEL

Note: the presence output is independent of the set light values.

Option of selecting input delay of 0minutes or 2minutes – 30minutes.
Default setting: 0 minutes

Option of selecting a switch off time of 0, 1 - 60 minutes or up to 12 hours.
Default setting: 60 minutes

11.1 Cyclic sending

The HVAC channel sends its current status in cycles according to specified time
intervals. At the same time, it is also possible to determine whether it repeatedly
sends OFF or ON telegrams in cycles.

11.2 Behaviour at switching on and switching off lock

Options for each include: "No reaction", "Switch off" or "Switch on" the light
channel.

12. TWILIGHT SWITCH

In normal operating mode, the twilight switch sends an ON telegram if the
threshold value is not reached during the entire switching time and an OFF
telegram if the threshold value is exceeded (plus hysteresis) during the entire
switching time (via communication object 26). The output telegram can be
sent in binar y form (object 26), as a dim value (object 27), (0…100%) or as
a scene (object 28), (1…64). Individual parameters can be set for the switch
ON and OFF values. The twilight switch remains inactive if it is manually
switched using communication object 25 until the off-period has elapsed, at
which point it reverts to normal operating mode.

13. LIGHT VALUE

13.1 Current light value

The current light value can be transmitted either in cycles or from a specified
offset to the last actual value sent. This value is calculated as follows:

Value = [light value from sensor x modifier x multiplier] + offset

Object 16 can be used to lock sending of the current light value. This allows you
to send either the actual value or a value specified in the parameters.

13.2 External light value

An external sensor can also be integrated and assessed via KNX for internal
light control/regulation. The actual value for controlling/regulating is then:

Value = actual light value + [external light value x modifier x multiplier

]

13.3 Internal light value

You can also check light control/regulation by using object 18 to output the
internal light value directly from the sensor without factor or offset values. This
value is always sent along with the current light value via communicaton object 19.

14. ALARM

The alarm function can be set to react differently or the same at switch ON
and switch OFF.
The alarm output (object 32) can be locked using object 31. Options for
behaviour at switching lock ON or OFF via object 31 include "no reaction",
"switch OFF", "switch ON".
The number of detected movements within a time frame can be set.
