1. Functional characteristics
1.1 PlanoCentro A-KNX presence detector
Presence detector switches or controls a maximum of two lighting groups dependent on the presence of persons and the current brightness. A
brightnesslevelisdenedforthis,thesecondlightgroupisthenswitchedorcontrolledwithabrightnessdifference.Withbrightness-dependent
switching,thelightingisswitchedonforanadjustablelengthoftimeifmovementisdetectedindetectionareaandthereisinsufcientlight.
Withconstantlightcontrol,thelightingiscontrolledtoconstantaccumulatedbrightnessofarticiallightanddaylightifmovementhasbeen
detected in the detection area
An additional channel transmits the presence information in the room to further devices such as heating, ventilation or blinds controls. The channel
has a switch-on delay and a switch-off delay.
Another channel is for room monitoring, the presence of persons is shown with a high degree of certainty.
The presence detector also has another integrated scene component as well the possibility of processing scene numbers for both lighting groups.
In combination with the remote control, the presence detector is not only capable of switching and dimming its own lighting groups but also other
external consumers such as lights, blinds etc.
1.2 Features
♦Optional control of one or two light channels
♦Optional constant light control or brightness-dependent switching
♦Brightness-dependent switching with dimming values override
♦Reduction of switch-off delay time in the event of short presence
♦Separate channel (presence) for controlling other devices such as
HVAC systems with delayed switch-on and switch-off delay
♦Separate channel for room monitoring with cyclical report object
♦Parallel connection Master-Slave for complete coverage of large
areas
♦Parallel connection Master-Master for several lighting groups with
separate light measurement but joint presence detection
♦Separate disable objects for light and presence channel
♦Scene control with two scenes
♦Scene functionality with scene numbers
♦Detection and sending of current brightness
♦Adjustable dimming value at standby
♦Two brightness level options
♦Setting of brightness level via bus object
♦SendoPro management remote control (optional)
•Changing of parameters
•Read out of data (parameters, actual brightness level and
statistical data)
♦SendoClic user remote control (optional)
•Lighting groups individual switching and dimming
•Two programmable scenes
•Optional control of blinds or external channels
1.3 Special features
The choice between brightness-dependent switching or constant light control, two available light channels, the integrated scene functionality plus the
multi-purpose user remote control makes the presence detector into a compact lighting control.
TheSendoPromanagementremotecontrolpermitstheadjustmentandoptimisationofdenedparameters.Forexample,thebrightnesslevelcan
be set quickly and reliably via both daylight-dependent switching and constant light control.
The parameters can be read before changing to provide a clear overview. In order to achieve the optimum adjustment to the lighting conditions in a
room, the current brightness can be read out in lux and optimised using the room correction factor.

Objects 1 - 3 are available if "constant light control" is selected as the <control
type>.
In the <control type> "constant light control", objects 0 - 3 are used for constant
light control. All four objects must be linked for a functioning constant light control.
Adifferentresponseisproduceddependingonconguration:
Start control with value telegram:
Avaluetelegramissentviaobject2ondetectionofmovementandinsufcient
brightness. The actuator switches and dims up. An ON telegram is sent via object 1 on
reaching the set point value.The presence detector sends a request for the current
dimming value to the actuator via object 3. Control with 1-byte telegrams to object 2
starts from this dimming value.
Start control with ON telegram:
AnOntelegramissentviaobject0ondetectionofmovementandinsufcientbright-
ness.Theactuatorswitchesonanddimsuptotheconguredvalueontheactuator.
The presence detector sends a request for the current dimming value to the actuator
via object 3. Control with 1-byte telegrams via object 2 starts from this dimming value.
Thepresencedetectordoesnothaveanyspecicpushbuttoninputsbutdoesrespond
to push button commands sent to objects 0 to 2:
See information on push button operation on page 28 chapter 3.
Object 4 A brightness level Receive value Object available if "yes" has been selected at <set brightness level via bus>.
This enables the adapting of the brightness level during operation.
The brightness level value will not be accepted if the received value is outside the
value range (5..2000 lux) or the set point value does not match the current room
correction factor setting (see setting limit).
The value transfer will not be carried out if the received value is outside the value
range of the brightness level. Object 4 returns the stored value of the currently active
brightness level.
If an error occurs, object 35 provides the information for error diagnosis with a 1-byte
value. See „Diagnosis“ page 14

Page 11 of 50
KNX presence detector PlanoCentro A-KNX
Object Object name Function Description
Object 5 A brightness level call up / teach-in Object available if "yes" has been selected at <set brightness level via bus>.
The presence detector accepts the currently measured brightness value [lux] as a new
brightness level with a value telegram $81 (128).
Object 4 sends the current brightness level via a value telegram $01 (1).
Transfer is made to current active brightness level.
For example, if the alternative brightness level is active, the current measured bright-
ness value [lux] is transferred to the alternative brightness level via the value telegram
$81 (128).
The value transfer will not be carried out if the measured brightness value is outside
the value range of the brightness level. Object 4 sends the stored value of the currently
active brightness level.
If an error occurs, object 35 provides the information for error diagnosis with a 1-byte
value. See „Diagnosis“ page 14
Object 6 Alternative brightness
level A
Receive value Object available if "yes" has been selected at <set alternative brightness level via
bus>.
This enables the adapting of the alternative brightness level during operation.
The received brightness level will not be accepted if the received value is outside the
value range (5..2000 lux) or the brightness level does not match the current room
correction factor setting (see setting limit).
The value transfer will not be carried out if the received brightness level is outside the
value range of the brightness level. Object 4 sends the stored value of the currently
active brightness level.
If an error occurs, object 35 provides the information for error diagnosis with a 1-byte
value. See „Diagnosis“ page 14

Objects 8 - 10 are available if "constant light control" is selected as the <control type>.
If two channels are used, objects 7-10 provide control or constant light control for B channel.
Function see objects 0 - 3.
Object 11 A,B channels light Disable/enable Object available if "inactive" is NOT selected in <disable light channels>.
Both channels are disabled with an ON or OFF telegram. At the start of the disabling
process, the light outputs optionally send one of the following telegrams: ON,OFF, no
telegram.Whiledisabled,thetwochannelsdonotsendanytelegrams,basedneither
on presence/absence nor brightness.
The light channels are enabled via an ON or OFF telegram in addition to the telegram
whensettingdisableprocess.Whenenabled,thedetectoralwayssendsthecurrent
status and thereby continues the brightness-dependent switching or constant light
control.
Object 12 A,B channels light Selecting
brightness level
Object available if "active" has been selected at <selecting brightness level>.
It is possible to switch between two brightness levels for daylight-dependent switching
orconstantlightcontroldependingontheconguration.
-An ON telegram to bus object 12 switches to the alternative brightness level.
-An OFF telegram switches back to the original base brightness level as set point
value. This applies to both switching and constant light control.

KNX presence detector PlanoCentro A-KNX
Object Object name Function Description
Object 13 Central command Receive An ON telegram switches on A,B channels light. The behaviour of the presence detec-
tor is identical as if the user switches on via a push button. The behaviour depends on
the selected control type. See chapter 3 page
An OFF telegram causes: the switching off of A,B channels light in accordance with
the following conditions.
-no movement with the last 5 seconds:
The light switches off immediately. The ongoing switch-off delay times for A,B
channels light and standby are set to 0. The presence detector then returns to
normal operation.
-Movement up to receipt of OFF telegram:
The light stays on.
Fully automatic:
-Iffurthermovementisthendetected,thelightswitchesonagainifthereisinsuf-
cient brightness.
Presence detector is disabled
-The central command is not carried out.
Object 14 External scene Receive Object available if "active.." has been selected at <Disabling light channels with
external scenes>.
Scene numbers sent straight to the actuator can be directed to the presence detector
tomaximisetheinuenceonthebehaviourofthepresencedetector.
See page 27 chapter 2.4.15
Object 15 G channel brightness Send lux value Object available if "active" has been selected on <G channel, send brightness value>.
G channel brightness sends the current brightness measurement as 2-byte telegram
via object 15. The frequency of telegrams depends on the cycle time and the minimum
change in brightness.
The 2-byte telegrams via object 15 provide visualisation of a brightness value, but
should not be used for an external control. The use of the presence detector's internal
constant light control is recommended for that sort of control.
The brightness measurement can be adapted to the conditions in a room with the
room correction factor. See page 19 chapter 2.4.3
2.3.4 Characteristics of other objects
Object Object name Function Description
Object 16 H channel presence: Switching Object available if "active.." has been selected at <H channel presence>.
H channel presence sends an ON or OFF telegram or no telegram if there is a presence
(independentofbrightnessafteradelayduetoconguredswitch-ondelay).AnONor
OFF telegram or no telegram is sent after expiry of the switch-off delay.
Object 17 J channel presence: Send value Object available if "active.." has been selected at <J channel presence>.
J channel presence sends an ON telegram or no telegram if there is a presence (indepen-
dentofbrightnessafteradelayduetoconguredswitch-ondelay)
Object 18 H,J channel
presence
Disable/enable Object available if "inactive" is NOT selected in <Disable presence channels>.
The presence channel is disabled via an ON or OFF telegram. At the start of the disabling
process, the presence channel optionally sends one of the following telegrams: ON,OFF,
notelegram.Whiledisabled,thepresencechanneldoesnotsendanytelegrams,based
neither on presence/absence nor brightness.
The presence channel is enabled via an ON or OFF telegram in addition to the telegram
when setting disable process. After the enable process is completed, the presence detec-
tor sends its current status.

Dependingontheconguration,thepresencedetectorsendsthemotioninformationvia
object 19 with increased security against faulty activation:
<Report type>: Switching (On/Off): On detection of movement, the monitoring channel
sends an ON telegram and an OFF telegram after expiry of the monitoring switch-off
delay.
<Reporttype>:Cyclicwithconrmation:ThemonitoringchannelsendsanONtelegram
on detection of movement. The detector sends another ON telegram if the telegram is
notconrmedonobject20withintheconguredwaitingtime.Thisprocessisrepeated
untilaconrmationisreceived.
Object 20 M channel room

Conrmation Ifthemonitoringchannelisconguredto"cyclicwithconrmation",thedetector
expects a 0 or 1 telegram on object 20. It resends the ON telegram in cyclical intervals
providingthereisnoconrmation.
Object 21 M channel room
monitoring
Sabotage
cyclically
In order to identify the dismantling of the presence detector, object 21 continuously
sends OFF telegrams as long as the detector is operating.
Object 22 M channel room
monitoring
Enable The M channel room monitoring can be enabled with an ON telegram on object 22 or
disabled with an OFF telegram in both <Report types> during operation. No telegrams
are sent via the reporting object (19) while disabled. Once enabled, the detector sends
its current status via object 19.
Object 23 Parallel connection Trigger
input/output
Object available if 'parallel connection' has been selected at <Master operating mode>.
Trigger input/output is required for the parallel connection of more than one presence
detector.Inconguringthedetector,itisonlyvisibleasa"Masterinparallelconnec-
tion" or as a "Slave". There are two possible types of switching:
Master/Slave parallel connection: A Master receives the movement information from se-
veral Slaves in the room and switches or controls the lighting as required. The advantage
isuniformswitchingwithadenedbrightnessvalue.Forapplicationsincorridorsfor
example, the Master is installed in the darkest position.
Master/Master parallel connection: Several Masters exchange movement informati-
on. The advantage is a zone with uniform presence detection but with several light
measurements, for example 3 lighting groups in a room, where the group nearest to
the window can be dimmed much darker than the lighting groups in the interior of the
room.
Each detector sends a maximum of two ON telegrams per minute on detection of move-
ment. The interval (cycle time) between two telegrams can be set to a maximum of four
minutes. Please note, the interval between two trigger telegrams is always shorter than
the switch-off delay times.
See information on parallel connection on page 29 chapter 4
Object 24 Input/output scene Dependingonthechosenconguration,internalscenescanbecalledupviaobject24,
scenes can be directly controlled or via an external scene component controlled.
Scenes 1/2 internal scenes: Object 24 becomes the "input scene" if "internal scenes" is selected in
<Scene control>.
An OFF telegram to the scene input object calls up scene 1, an ON telegram calls up
scene 2.
Scene component: Object 24 becomes the 'output scene' if "scene component" is
selected in <Scene control>.
By pressing scene push button 1 on the user remote control, the scene output object
sends an OFF telegram and pressing scene push button 2 sends an ON telegram.
Scene number Object 24 becomes the "output scene" if "send scene" is selected in <Scene control>.
By pressing the scene push buttons on the remote control, the scene output object
sends the selected scene number.

displayed.
Control type
A / B channel light
Switching ThelightchannelsendsanONtelegramondetectionofmovementandinsuf-
cient light. An OFF telegram is sent on completion of the switch-off delay or with
sufcientbrightness.
Constant light control Ondetectionofmovementandinsufcientbrightness,thelightchannelcontrols
the lighting to a set desired brightness level and keeps it constant with variations
in external light sources (e.g. daylight). The lighting is switched off on completion
oftheswitch-offdelaytime(orwithsufcientbrightnessifthelightingisalready
dimmed to the minimum).
The second B channel light can be controlled with a difference in brightness.
Note: If the two A,B channels light are active, both channels will be in control or
switching operating mode. It is not possible to combine control and switching
operating modes.

2.4.3 A channel light
Parameter name Values Application
Function mode Fully automatic In "fully automatic" function mode the light channel automatically switches or controls
the lighting dependent on presence and ambient brightness. Switch off occurs automa-
tically.
Semi-automatic In "semi-automatic" function mode "switching" the switching on must always be
completed manually via push button or remote control. Switch off occurs automatically.
• Switching (On/Off): The presence detector switches the lighting on or off.
• Constant light control: The presence detector controls or switches off according to
the set brightness level.
See page chapter 3
Switch-off delay time time 30 s – 60 mins
10 mins
Switch-off delay time can be set for between 30 seconds and 60 minutes. Each detected
movement restarts the switch-off delay time.
The switch-off delay time adjusts to users behaviour through auto-learning. It can incre-
ase automatically to 30 minutes or return to the set minimum time. The switch-off delay
time does not change through auto-learning with a setting <= 2 minutes or
>= 30 minutes.
The switch-off delay time applies to both light channels.
Brightness level <Controltype>=switching:Thebrightnessleveldenestheminimumrequiredbright-
ness. The current prevailing brightness is measured below the presence detector. If the
prevailing brightness is below the set point , the light switches on as soon as a presence
is detected.
<Controltype>=constantlightcontrol:Thedenedbrightnesslevelissetviathe
control/dimming of the lights (objects 1 - 3 and 8 - 9)
5–2000 lx
500 lx
The brightness level can be set in stages between 5–2000 lux.
The preset value is 500 lux.
Measurement off
(depending on
presence only)
<Control type> switching:
-The brightness level can be deactivated using the 'no measurement, only dependent
on presence' setting.
The SendoPro management remote control provides support with setting the brightness
level. See page 30 chapter 5.1
Room correction factor 0.05–10 The room correction factor is a dimension for the difference of the brightness measure-
ments on the ceiling and the work area.
Thebrightnessvaluemeasuredontheceilingisinuencedbytheinstallationpoint,
lightreception,positionofthesun,weatherconditions,thereectionpropertiesofthe
room and furniture.
The brightness value measured by the presence detector is adjusted to the conditions in
the room using the room correction factor and can therefore be aligned to the lux meter
value measured in the area below the presence detector.
0.3 Standard value, suitable for most applications.
