    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...

  • Page 7 5 amperes maximum fuse for maximum power when using a 4 amperes transformer (120 volts AC to 24 volts DC). The fuse should have a 1 ampere rating when used with 240 volts AC to 24 volts DC, 4 amperes transformers. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
  • Page 8 • When operated (moved to the “UP” position), it disconnects the 24 volts DC power from the detectors, which automatically reset themselves. While operated the amber indicator will flash and the trouble alert will beep. Figure: Zone Card Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
  • Page 9 (8 and 9). The maximum current that will be supplied to these terminals is 250mA total for the two relays. Current in excess of this amount will shut down the driving circuit without causing damage to the unit or malfunction of the alarm circuits. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

  • Page 11 This feature also provides an audible indication to technicians attempting to isolate trouble in the system. When the trouble is corrected the beeper will emit a continuous tone until the silence switch is returned to normal. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...
  • Page 12 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...
  • Page 13 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.
  • Page 14 • 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...
  • Page 15 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.

  • Page 18: Wiring Horn /S

    “fool” the system into thinking a horn is attached. If for some reason the horn is disconnected, it is useful to keep the resistor. This will prevent the trouble light from coming on. Argus Installation and Resource Guide Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

    Zone Card should light, and the horn/strobe should come on. • In the Machine Shutdown relay should trip the stop circuit of the production machinery intended for stoppage. • Perform this test after installation of the system and repeat once a year. Argus Installation and Resource Guide...

    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...
  • Page 22: Maintenance

    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...
  • Page 23 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...
  • Page 24 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...
  • Page 25: Troubleshooting

    • 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...
  • Page 26 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.
