<strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>IN</strong> <strong>ITS</strong> <strong>BEST</strong> <strong>FORM</strong>.<br />
The ARGUS safety range.<br />
SPECIALIST <strong>IN</strong><strong>FORM</strong>ATION<br />
<strong>868</strong> <strong>MHz</strong>
ARGUS – THE BRAND FOR <strong>SAFETY</strong> THROUGHOUT THE HOME<br />
For almost 100 years Merten has<br />
stood for the development, manufacture<br />
and sale of electrical and electronic<br />
products. We have done so with<br />
great success, as our position as one<br />
of the leading German manufacturers<br />
proves. And the growing demands for<br />
comfort, safety and economic efficiency<br />
in and around the home make us<br />
more determined in our objective to<br />
look continuously for new, forwardlooking<br />
solutions. For example, Merten<br />
was the first company to make movement<br />
detectors marketable 15 years<br />
ago.<br />
The extensive ARGUS range offers<br />
practical solutions in many areas. For<br />
example, automatic cost-saving light<br />
control based on actual requirements.<br />
This lets light into dark entrances,<br />
corridors and rooms. Then there is<br />
movement-dependent light control,<br />
with which intruders can be scared<br />
off. Everyday safety risks are not just<br />
confined to darkness. The risk of<br />
being surprised by fire or smoke while<br />
asleep should not be underestimated.<br />
Our sense of smell is not active while<br />
we are asleep, so the smell of burning<br />
is not detected.<br />
Give your customers a sense of<br />
security where it really matters with<br />
the ARGUS safety range.<br />

THE ARGUS MOVEMENT DETECTOR SYSTEM.<br />
The new form of safety.<br />
Merten, the first manufacturer of movement<br />
detectors over 15 years ago,<br />
continues to make the running in this<br />
market with the new ARGUS<br />
movement detector system – an innovation<br />
for safety throughout the home.<br />
A system that consists of six devices:<br />
ARGUS 110 Basic<br />
ARGUS 220 Basic<br />
ARGUS 220 Connect<br />
ARGUS 220 for 12 V Connect<br />
<strong>IN</strong>STABUS ARGUS 220 Connect<br />
ARGUS 220 Timer<br />
All six devices have in common a clear<br />
design that is in harmony with modern<br />
architecture. Together with British<br />
architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw,<br />
Merten has developed the new form<br />
and function of the movement detector.<br />
The ARGUS Movement Detector System<br />
combines comprehensive protection<br />
with the comforts of the latest technology<br />
and simple installation. Neither<br />
does it disappoint in terms of lifespan<br />
and reliability!<br />
This is how you convince your<br />
customers with safety:<br />
ARGUS 110/220 Basic – the valuefor-money<br />
basic unit for perfect surveillance<br />
quality with the latest lens<br />
technology and sensor electronics.<br />
ARGUS 220 Connect – equipped for<br />
the future. Featuring integrated interfaces<br />
for a radio and/or camera module,<br />
the system can be extended in next to<br />
no time.<br />
ARGUS 220 for 12 V Connect – for<br />
the nicest time of the year. The 12 V<br />
low voltage version can, for example,<br />
be very conveniently connected to<br />
caravans, camper vans, holiday homes<br />
or boats. With an integrated interface<br />
for adding a radio module.<br />
<strong>IN</strong>STABUS ARGUS 220 Connect –<br />
the clever one. Can be directly integrated<br />
into the bus. This means that,<br />
if a movement has been registered,<br />
several functions, such as switching or<br />
dimming, can be triggered at the same<br />
time. By calling up text messages on<br />
an info-display, one can discreetly find<br />
out about any movements. Several<br />
movement detectors can be linked<br />
up via the bus. This ensures safety<br />
throughout the home.<br />
ARGUS 220 Timer – the flexible one.<br />
Apart from interfaces for a radio and/or<br />
camera module, it has an integrated<br />
twilight timer. This means that lighting<br />
can now be controlled depending on<br />
brightness levels, the time of day as<br />
well as movement. A real highlight!<br />
The superb movement detector range<br />
from Merten. Offers your customers<br />
safety with a system.<br />
Honoured with the design prizes<br />
„AIT – Innovationspreis Architektur und<br />
Technik“ and „red dot award“.<br />

ARGUS MOVEMENT DETECTOR SYSTEM.<br />
The advantages are obvious.<br />
Outer corner<br />
Inner corner<br />
Plug-in connections between<br />
detection module and connection<br />
box make installation<br />
easy and quick.<br />
Large wiring compartment<br />
guarantees enough room for<br />
quick wiring.<br />
Convenient installation is<br />
ensured by three cable<br />
openings in the connection<br />
box for looping.<br />
Can be mounted on<br />
inner/outer corners or<br />
cylindrical objects with a<br />
mounting bracket.<br />
The surveillance range can<br />
be adjusted to the optimum<br />
setting for the prevailing<br />
conditions thanks to the<br />
spherical lens which can be<br />
adjusted in the horizontal,<br />
vertical and axial direction<br />
without altering the appearance<br />
of the unit.<br />
Hassle-free exchange of<br />
ARGUS family. The lower<br />
box dimensions of the new<br />
ARGUS Movement Detector<br />
System units correspond to<br />
those of the previous ARGUS<br />
family (ARGUS movement<br />
detectors 70, 110, 220, 300).<br />
Universal setting of spherical<br />
lens allows wall or ceiling<br />
installation.<br />
Removable segments make<br />
blanking of individual areas<br />
possible. The cover is the<br />
same milky white colour as<br />
the lens, so the appearance<br />
is not altered.<br />
The integrated LED display<br />
allows the movement detector<br />
to be set quickly and easily<br />
at the installation site.<br />
New, clear design in harmony<br />
with modern architecture.<br />
Developed in cooperation<br />
with British architect Sir<br />
Nicholas Grimshaw.<br />
Perfect surveillance quality<br />
thanks to a lens with 3 longrange<br />
levels.<br />
The easily accessible and<br />
individually adjustable controllers<br />
as well as the camera<br />
interface* are protected<br />
against climatic influences<br />
and unintentional adjustment<br />
by the weather-proof cover.<br />
The intelligent evaluation<br />
electronics facilitate a fully<br />
automatic adjustment of the<br />
switching arrangement to<br />
suit different weather conditions<br />
thanks to specially<br />
developed integrated circuits.<br />
Thanks to creep zone<br />
capture, even intruders<br />
approaching on all fours<br />
don’t stand a chance.<br />
Integrated surveillance of the<br />
space to the rear means that<br />
your customers have light<br />
even before they step outside<br />
the house.<br />

ARGUS 220 Connect, ARGUS 220 for<br />
12 V Connect and ARGUS 220 Timer<br />
offer more safety and comfort thanks<br />
to their integrated radio interface. For<br />
extending the system in next to no<br />
time.<br />
In the ARGUS radio module, which<br />
transmits and receives on the specially<br />
reserved short-range frequency of<br />
<strong>868</strong> <strong>MHz</strong>, you can offer your customers<br />
sophisticated technology. There is no<br />
interference from continuous transmitters.<br />
This ensures greater transmission<br />
security.<br />
Link up several movement detectors<br />
very simply by radio using the ARGUS<br />
radio module. All the lights will be<br />
switched on with the first movement.<br />
The pre-programmed ARGUS radio<br />
pushbutton in the Merten design lets<br />
your customers activate the Constant<br />
ON/OFF, Automatic and SET functions.<br />
This guarantees maximum flexibility:<br />
for example, if you’re planning a garden<br />
party, this ensures constant lighting.<br />
The ARGUS radio pushbutton gives<br />
your customers convenient lighting<br />
control from any position.<br />
With the SET function, the ARGUS 220<br />
Timer adopts the current brightness<br />
threshold for switching on – simply at<br />
the press of a button. The convenient<br />
solution for you and your customers:<br />
no manual setting or subsequent<br />
adjustment of the movement detector<br />
is necessary.<br />
Or simply set the ARGUS to a receiver<br />
from the Merten radio system. This<br />
way, when your customers come home,<br />
they automatically have light not only<br />
at their front door but also in the hallway<br />
or corridor, for example.<br />
ARGUS movement detectors from<br />
Merten. Very simple to integrate into<br />
the Merten radio system with the radio<br />
module – for maximum flexibility.<br />

attachment.<br />
Wireless connection of several ARGUS<br />
movement detectors with an integrated<br />
radio module. A movement detected at<br />
the garage is transmitted via the radio<br />
module to the programmed movement<br />
detector in the front door area. The<br />
lights on the garage and the house are<br />
switched on with the very first movement.<br />
All-round security wherever one<br />
goes.<br />

ARGUS MOVEMENT DETECTORS.<br />
Security in all surveillance areas.<br />
ARGUS movement detectors cover<br />
every requirement.<br />
ARGUS 300, ARGUS 360 and<br />
ARGUS 70 – these are designed for<br />
special applications. Don’t miss the<br />
chance of additional turnover for only<br />
a little installation effort. Always offer<br />
your customers the appropriate<br />
solution for greater security,<br />
convenience and energy saving.<br />
ARGUS 300 – the all-rounder. With<br />
a surveillance range of 300 °, the AR-<br />
GUS 300 looks round the corner and<br />
simultaneously guards two sides of a<br />
house. Its extension module makes<br />
The three individually adjustable<br />
sensors allow the surveillance ranges<br />
to be set at the right level based on<br />
the height differences of the site.<br />
ARGUS 360 – the indoor all-rounder.<br />
Its 360° surveillance range means it<br />
has a view of everything and brings<br />
light into the darkness. Particularly<br />
suitable for halls, underground car<br />
parks or in storage areas. Easy to<br />
install on the ceiling. The ideal option<br />
for customers who want to make<br />
economical use of lighting in rooms<br />
that are seldom used.<br />
ARGUS 70 – safety for very confined<br />
spaces. With an angle of detection of<br />
70°, it is ideal for monitoring smaller<br />
areas such as entrances, stairs etc..<br />
ARGUS movement detectors from<br />
Merten – safety for any situation<br />
overcoming structural obstacles such<br />
as downpipes easy. Specially developed<br />
for installation on corners of houses.<br />

Modern building management is hard<br />
to imagine without ARGUS presence<br />
detectors. For growing awareness of<br />
the environment and increasing energy<br />
costs are demanding innovative solutions<br />
for the efficient use of energy.<br />
ARGUS presence detectors can reduce<br />
heating and electricity costs by up to<br />
70% and puts an end to unnecessary<br />
energy consumption in office spaces,<br />
halls and corridors. By means of lighting,<br />
heating, ventilation or alarm<br />
systems that are controlled for individual<br />
rooms and meet demand.<br />
Original size<br />
Individual offices – a single ARGUS Presence<br />
above the desk will suffice per room.<br />
Open-plan offices – switched in groups or<br />
individually.<br />
Schools – no more empty classrooms with the<br />
lights and heating on.<br />
14<br />
Entrance areas, corridors, stairs, storerooms and<br />
sanitary rooms – by day the light is switched on<br />
when required, at night ARGUS Presence works<br />
as an alarm and passes the signal on to the janitor.
ARGUS PRESENCE DETECTOR.<br />
Save energy with system.<br />
ARGUS Presence – the functional<br />
principle<br />
Installed on the ceiling of a room, the<br />
ARGUS presence detector detects<br />
the presence of persons in a range<br />
of Ø 8 m (if installed at a height of<br />
2.50 m) and simultaneously measures<br />
the intensity of the natural light. If the<br />
ambient light drops below a predefined<br />
threshold, the slightest movements in<br />
the room will automatically activate the<br />
lighting via the first channel. However,<br />
if there is enough ambient light or the<br />
ARGUS no longer detects a presence,<br />
the presence detector will switch the<br />
light off again, thus saving costs. The<br />
second channel controls all the<br />
systems connected to it, such as heating,<br />
ventilation or alarm systems, independently<br />
of the first channel. Thus,<br />
for example, the ventilation/heating will<br />
stay on while the light is switched off<br />
due to adequate outside brightness.<br />
ARGUS Presence Detector System<br />
For complete monitoring of large rooms<br />
or long corridors. Up to 8 sensor heads<br />
can be switched in series. This makes<br />
it possible to monitor corridors up to<br />
64 m long and control them in a<br />
targeted way. For use in open-plan<br />
offices, it is possible to combine pushbuttons<br />
for manual operation of the<br />
lighting via an extension input.<br />
<strong>IN</strong>STABUS ARGUS presence detector<br />
The functions of the 2 switching channels<br />
Channel 1<br />
Brightness-dependent and high level of<br />
sensitivity.<br />
Switches the light on if there is<br />
inadequate brightness.<br />
Learns independently at what level of<br />
brightness the light can be switched off<br />
despite continuous movements.<br />
Brightness sensor infinitely adjustable<br />
from 10 – 1000 Lux.<br />
ON time infinitely adjustable<br />
from 10 s – 30 min.<br />
Channel 2<br />
Brightness-independent.<br />
Only several movements within a<br />
period of time lead to the light being<br />
switched on.<br />
ON times infinitely adjustable<br />
from 5 min – 2 h.<br />
Suitable for controlling heating or fan<br />
motors.<br />
A combination with <strong>IN</strong>STABUS EIB<br />
offers further options for a modern<br />
building management system, in addition<br />
to the economic and environmental<br />
benefit offered by the ARGUS<br />
Presence: e.g. notification of faults and<br />
system statuses, safety monitoring,<br />
control of blinds as well as the central<br />
control of all building functions. The<br />
version with IR receiver, for example,<br />
allows up to 10 channels to be controlled<br />
via remote control (6x switching/<br />
dimming and 2x blinds). Or <strong>IN</strong>STABUS<br />
ARGUS Presence with constant light<br />
adjustment: light-dependent constant<br />
light adjustment is possible by means<br />
of an integrated brightness sensor.<br />
Surface-mounted housing<br />
Thanks to the surface-mounted housing,<br />
ARGUS presence detectors can<br />
also be mounted on the surface.<br />
The surveillance range depends on the installation height. The table shows the<br />
surveillance range for different installation heights.<br />

The ARGUS 180 flush-mounted movement<br />
detector brings security, comfort<br />
and economy to the interior of buildings<br />
as well. The slightest movement causes<br />
it to switch on the light. The advantages<br />
of the ARGUS 180 flush-mounted become<br />
particularly apparent in corridors,<br />
hallways, rooms that are seldom used<br />
and cellar stairs. This is after all where<br />
your customer will often have his hand<br />
full and not be able to activate the light<br />
switch. And the high detection quality<br />
ensures that the light comes on straight<br />
away if persons are present even in the<br />
remotest corners of the house.<br />
The saving of energy is another plus<br />
point of the ARGUS 180 flush-mounted:<br />
the switching time can be set to<br />
between 1 second and 8 minutes.<br />
If desired, it is possible to switch to<br />
constant light or manual operation<br />
using a sliding switch.<br />
As regards the design of the ARGUS<br />
180 flush-mounted, you can choose<br />
from all the Merten flush-mounted<br />
switch ranges: M-SMART, M-ARC,<br />
M-PLAN, ARTEC, TRANCENT, ANTIK,<br />
M1, ATELIER or OCTOCOLOR.<br />

ARGUS LIGHT-SENSITIVE SWITCH.<br />
Economic light control through the changing seasons.<br />
ARGUS light-sensitive switches from<br />
Merten reliably ensure that there is outside<br />
lighting.<br />
Over and above that the ARGUS lightsensitive<br />
timer saves even more energy<br />
and quickly pays off for your customers.<br />
ARGUS light-sensitive switch<br />
Depending on the requirements, there<br />
are two versions available:<br />
■ ARGUS compact light-sensitive<br />
switch with preset ON and OFF<br />
threshold.<br />
■ ARGUS light-sensitive switch – with<br />
adjustable switching threshold and<br />
greater switching capacity.<br />
ARGUS light-sensitive timer with<br />
time function<br />
The light-sensitive timer combines the<br />
functions of a light-sensitive switch and<br />
a timer in one device.<br />
You can choose between 3 functions:<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
Light-sensitive function: Each time<br />
the brightness threshold is reached,<br />
the light is switched on in the<br />
evening and off in the morning.<br />
Automatic function: In the evening<br />
the light is switched on when the<br />
set brightness threshold is reached<br />
and switched off again at a preset<br />
time (e.g. 11.00 pm). In the morning<br />
the light is switched on again at a<br />
preset time (e.g. 5.00 am) and switched<br />
off when the brightness threshold<br />
is reached.<br />
Semi-automatic function: In the<br />
evening the light is switched on<br />
when the set brightness threshold is<br />
reached and switched off again at<br />
a preset time (e.g. 11.00 pm).<br />
An integrated special function ensures<br />
that the time is automatically adjusted<br />
in accordance with the ambient brightness.<br />
Manual setting of the time is no<br />
longer necessary. Even in a power cut!<br />
The light-sensitive timer is particularly<br />
suitable for applications where it is<br />
important to have a constant light<br />
function in a specified time period.<br />
For example:<br />
■ Business premises<br />
■ Lighting of paths<br />
■ Car parks<br />
■ Petrol stations<br />
■ Galleries<br />
■ Shop windows<br />
Also ideal for controlling outside lighting<br />
in people’s homes.<br />

ARGUS SMOKE DETECTORS.<br />
Increased safety in a super-flat design.<br />
Show your customers that safety is not<br />
only indispensable but looks good too!<br />
In an attractive, flat design and available<br />
in aluminium, polar white and dark<br />
brazil, the ARGUS smoke detector from<br />
Merten is suitable for any interior.<br />
A growing market<br />
The figures are alarming: smoke is the<br />
primary cause of death in fires. Around<br />
70 percent of all fire deaths in Germany<br />
occur during the night. Smouldering<br />
fires develop quickly due to obsolete<br />
electrical appliances or carelessness<br />
such as an unnoticed glowing cigarette.<br />
According to official estimates, the use<br />
of smoke detectors could halve the<br />
number of victims and incidents of fire<br />
damage. High-quality optical smoke<br />
detectors are particularly suitable for<br />
this. One of the few top-class systems<br />
on the market is the new ARGUS Smoke<br />
Detector System from Merten, which<br />
has been awarded a VdS (German<br />
Association of Property Insurers) test<br />
certificate for its reliability in smoke<br />
detection. Certified by the VdS and<br />
tested in accordance with VdS<br />
standard prEN 12239, it meets one of<br />
the most stringent norms for domestic<br />
smoke detectors. It is fitted with a<br />
battery and therefore works independently<br />
of the mains supply.<br />
There should be a smoke detector in<br />
every house!<br />
One smoke detector is usually not<br />
enough, though, to make a flat, or<br />
indeed a whole house, safe. Even with<br />
several smoke detectors, there is the<br />
risk that the fire alarm will not be heard<br />
in rooms that are further away.<br />
Increase your customer loyalty and<br />
added value with the modular Smoke<br />
Detector System from Merten and<br />
offer your customers maximum safety.<br />
Even the modular basic device has an<br />
integrated wiring terminal that enables<br />
up to 40 smoke detectors to be interconnected.<br />
Plug-in extension modules<br />
make it extremely easy to extend the<br />
system further.<br />
The safe radio network<br />
Another highlight: the bi-directional<br />
radio module for fast and convenient<br />
upgrading in detached family houses,<br />
multiple dwellings, flats, old buildings,<br />
offices and functional buildings. Each<br />
radio module is fitted with a transmitter<br />
and receiver, so that in an emergency,<br />
all smoke detectors connected to the<br />
wireless network will trigger an alarm.<br />
For example, if a fire breaks out in the<br />
cellar or basement, the family sleeping<br />
in the attic will also be alerted in good<br />
time, allowing them to escape to safety.<br />
An additional central point as alarm<br />
receiver is therefore not necessary. This<br />
helps your customers save money.<br />
The ARGUS radio module operates on<br />
the specially reserved <strong>868</strong> <strong>MHz</strong> radio<br />
frequency, which means that interference<br />
or false alarms are impossible.<br />
Your customers are therefore always on<br />
the safe side.<br />
The relay module with two-way contact<br />
also allows smoke detectors to be<br />
combined with external alarm equipment<br />
(e.g. horns or vibration cushions)<br />
or integrated into the <strong>IN</strong>STABUS EIB<br />
building management system. This<br />
means that older or deaf people, for<br />
example, can feel safe. Zero-signal<br />
current monitoring (for alarm loops) is<br />
also made possible by the break contact.<br />
The ARGUS smoke detection system –<br />
convincing technology for optimum<br />
protection in a super-flat design!<br />

ARGUS CONTROL.<br />
Safe as houses.<br />
The need for safety plays an ever more<br />
important part in people’s lives. By<br />
approaching your customers on the<br />
subject of safety, you can also secure<br />
new business for yourself.<br />
Your customers can feel completely<br />
safe thanks to the ARGUS Control<br />
surveillance system from Merten. It<br />
provides protection against intruders,<br />
reports faults in the house’s technical<br />
equipment in good time and detects<br />
sources of fires.<br />
The ARGUS Control surveillance<br />
system is ideal for those who are<br />
looking for reliable, affordable technology<br />
and want to play it safe.<br />
ARGUS Control offers you and your<br />
customers considerable advantages:<br />
■<br />
■<br />
■<br />
The first surveillance system on<br />
<strong>IN</strong>STABUS EIB basis<br />
Simple plug-in connections and<br />
uncomplicated mounting on rails<br />
ARGUS Control is continuously<br />
extendable and therefore meets<br />
the individual requirements of<br />
your customers<br />
From surveillance system to intelligent<br />
building management<br />
The technology based on the<br />
<strong>IN</strong>STABUS EIB, which links nearly all<br />
the domestic technical appliances and<br />
systems with one another via one<br />
control line and synchronises them,<br />
opens up many different possible<br />
applications. For example, sensors<br />
such as ARGUS movement and smoke<br />
detectors, magnetic contacts or broken<br />
glass sensors can easily be integrated<br />
into the surveillance system. This way<br />
your customers will always know what’s<br />
happening in and around their home.<br />
Plus the versatility of the <strong>IN</strong>STABUS<br />
system makes multiple use of the<br />
sensors possible. Thus, for example,<br />
the ARGUS movement detectors can<br />
be used both for monitoring as well as<br />
for light switching.<br />
The speech module allows up to eight<br />
different speech messages, warning<br />
signals or sounds to be recorded.<br />
These are then emitted via a loudspeaker<br />
when a fault or event occurs.<br />
The status of the monitoring lines and<br />
the system is reported by the flushmount<br />
display unit. Red and green<br />
LEDs indicate the status of monitored<br />
areas at a glance. Several decentralised<br />
display units can be installed in a<br />
building by connecting them to the<br />
<strong>IN</strong>STABUS EIB.<br />
In the event of an alarm, the display<br />
unit triggers actions such as the<br />
switching on of the siren and the<br />
emission of messages. The arming<br />
device has a sabotage protection<br />
feature to prevent the lid being opened<br />
or the device being removed from the<br />
wall.<br />
Through TeleConnect it is possible<br />
to trigger an alarm in the neighbour’s<br />
house or at a monitoring service by<br />
telephone. In the case of faults in the<br />
domestic appliances, the relevant<br />
engineer can be notified directly.<br />
And for the outside area, the attractive<br />
alarm siren is fitted with a flashing light.<br />
ARGUS Control is mains failure-safe.<br />
Voltage buffering is carried out by a<br />
lead-gel accumulator which is connected<br />
to the voltage supply.<br />
Whether in the private or commercial<br />
sphere, ARGUS Control offers your<br />
customers the ideal burglary monitoring<br />
and alarm solution.<br />
Thanks to the bus technology, the<br />
system can be gradually extended into<br />
a complete surveillance and convenience<br />
system.<br />
ARGUS Control – more than just an<br />
alarm system.<br />
