Manual Set-up Proton-1 Sensor Adapter ARGON 100 Set-up 1. Connect the proton-1 adapter to the RS232 connection on the Argon unit. 2. Power off the Argon, wait 8-10 seconds and power up the Argon. 3. The green status light on the Proton-1 will now rapidly bink to indicate it’s in programming mode. - Page 9 Manual STEADY STATE OPERATION Once the power up initialisation has been completed, the unit will go into the steady state operation mode. In this mode it will cycle through all the attached temperature sensors that have been identified and stored in non-volatile memory. The time taken to cycle through and read all the sensors depends on how many sensors are attached.
