There are two types of detectors, the 343 and 535. As of 2014 only the 535 detector is available for sale, and all orders for Argus will include the 535 detector only. Although there are a few changes between the two detectors, they operate identically.
It should be in an accessible location near the gin’s console for easy access in case of a fire. The 10-zone panel pictured contains one power card, one monitor card, and room for ten zone cards. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

The horn and strobe combination alerts you when a fire has been detected. The horn/strobe is wired to the alarm card. It should be placed near the control panel in a visible location. For information on wiring the horn/strobe, see section 2.6. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

INSTALLATION DETECTOR PLACEMENT Here is a list of locations that you will want to have your Argus system installed, listed in order of priority. Keep in mind that the needs of a gin are different from one to the next, and if you need help choosing locations, contact a Samuel Jackson representative.

• Always install detectors in a straight line around a pipe. • Make sure the detectors are evenly spaced around a pipe. See the supplemental section at the end of the document for a complete guide to installing detectors. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

Note: If you have a Moisture Mirror X system in your gin, you have the option of being able to reset Argus alarms from your Moisture Mirror X with the addition of an Argus Interface Panel. In this case, the above rules do not necessarily apply. If you have any questions, please contact a Samuel Jackson representative.

LED could help determine the location of the spark. • Extinguish the spark or fire. • Turn off the horn/strobe by resetting the alarming Zone Card with the top switch. NOTE: As long as no other spark is present, the Zone Card will reset. If there is still a spark or flame being detected, the alarm will keep sounding. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
Remove the cover of the detector and disconnect all external wiring. Remove the nuts from each corner, take the lens grounding wire from the corner bolt, and then carefully remove the internal circuitry. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

Insert the new lens, add the grounding wire, and replace the nut. Carefully replace the circuitry inside the body and put the grounding wire back on the corner bolt. Tighten the nuts snugly, but not too tight to avoid damaging the circuit board. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

In case of fire: • Make sure the detectors in the affected zone are clean and check that lenses were not blackened by a flame. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
• Detectors can be set off by ambient light. Make sure any nearby access doors are closed and that detectors are properly attached to the pipe. Horn volume adjustment • If the horn is too loud or too quiet, it can be adjusted inside on the circuit board. • To begin, loosen the two screws on the horn part of the horn/strobe combination and reveal the electronics inside. • The small black piece is the volume adjustment. Turn the white center clockwise to decrease the volume, and counterclockwise to increase the volume. Volume Adjuster: Rotate interior white plastic piece. INCREASE: rotate counterclockwise DECREASE: rotate clockwise Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

MAINTENANCE Frequent lens replacement • If a lens needs replacement frequently, add a few washers to recess the lens out of the pipe to decrease the wear rate. • Ensure the detector is installed with the bolt pattern aligning with the direction of the pipe. If it is not, the lens will be pressed farther into the pipe than necessary, which will contribute to excessive wear. Figure: 535 detector with three washers added as a spacer.

• LED burned out. Trouble buzzer will not sound off: • Silence switch off. • Bad buzzer. Trouble LED will not illuminate: • Bad detector. • Detector shorted. Trouble buzzer sounds off intermittently: • Bad 24V power supply. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
Note: Try to locate the detectors near an access door into the pipe to facilitate installation and enable easy maintenance. The access must be light tight for proper operation. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
