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 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 mounting’ (standard), ‘flush mounted box installation’, and ‘surface-mounted’ versions.

Using the integrated temperature sensor and in combination with a KNX heating actuator with integrated controller, the KNX presence detector Mini Komfort can additionally control the room temperature. The additional measuring point on the ceiling also makes the temperature measurement even more precise if there are several temperature sensors in the room.

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, 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 Komfort 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 Komfort offers the option of continuously analysing user behaviour to optimise the delay time (transmission delay) independently. 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 Komfort will reduce the delay time. The minimum and maximum values can be freely defined.

The Gira KNX presence detector Mini Komfort offers various options for intelligent lighting control, with which lighting in the room can be maintained at a constant pre-programmed level under different daylight effects. Up to three light groups can be controlled, meaning that lamps near the window and far from the window can be regulated individually. 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 desired light level in the room and set it directly. This prevents annoying oscillations in light intensity.

Settings such as the dusk 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 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.

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 communication 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 extra 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 to be mounted on the ceiling. It can be installed indoors and outdoors. The flexible installation concept has a great number of 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.
