V5485-561-00 03/08 ARGUS smoke detector© Merten2005V5485-561-0003/08 ARGUS smoke detector Operating instructions GB – Sealing pin for ARGUS smoke detector (Art. no. MTN547000) You can use sealing pins to see whether the smoke de- tector is manipulated. – System relay flush-mounted for ARGUS smoke detec- tor (Art. no. MTN548001) The system relay flush-mounted controls external alarm devices. ¼ DANGER Risk of fatal injury from electrical current The device may only be installed and connected by skilled electricians. Observe the regulations valid in the country of use. ½ CAUTION • Do not paint the smoke detector! • The loud warning tone can damage your hear- ing (protect your ears when performing the functional test). • Smoke detectors do not extinguish a fire! • Smoke detectors detect smoke, but no flames or, heat! • The power must be supplied to the smoke de- tector via mains voltage (230 V). The battery supplies the smoke detector in case of tempo- rary mains voltage failure. • The smoke detector only works with a function- ing, correctly connected and inserted battery. Functioning without battery is not possible! • Do not use rechargeable batteries or power packs! • The smoke detector monitors a specific area around where it has been installed and not nec- essarily other rooms or other floors!

Accessories For your safety ½ DANGER Smoke fumes are poisonous and can quickly lead to a loss of consciousness. In the event of fire, in- form everyone in the household (smoke will not wake people up, children tend to hide when in a panic) and leave the building immediately. If there is a lot of smoke, crawl along the floor. Do not ex- pose yourself to unnecessary danger. Inform the fire brigade (WHO, WHERE, WHAT)! - Your local fire brigade is happy to advise you. | Think about how you can prevent fires and what to do in case of a fire (escape plan, assembly point, location of fire extinguishers, etc.). The ARGUS smoke detector 230 V/Connect 230 V (re- ferred to below as the smoke detector) is a mains-pow- ered smoke detector with backup battery for early detection of smouldering fires and open fires with smoke building-up indoor. The green LED of a functional smoke detector glows green, and the red LED flashes every 40 seconds. The green LED shows that the 230 V power supply has been applied. If the 230 V supply fails, the green LED goes out and the battery takes over supplying the smoke detector. If the battery is not supplying enough power, a tone will sound every 40 seconds to supplement the flashing red LED. The smoke detector will continue to function for an- other 30 days. ½ CAUTION If you are away for longer than 30 days, you will not hear the warning tone. Therefore, perform a functional test directly after you return. If the alarm persists for more than five seconds, the radio module will activate all other smoke detectors equipped with a radio module in the range and they will also sound the alarm. The detector which detected the smoke will transmit the alarm signal for at least 60 seconds and until it no longer detects smoke. A receiving detector will check for an alarm signal every 50 seconds. If no alarm signal comes from the transmitting detector, the receiving detector will also stop the alar. | When you combine a radio smoke detector net- work with a wire smoke alarm network, there may only be one smoke detector with active radio op- eration in the wire smoke detector network! Getting to know the smoke detector | Make sure that everyone in the building is familiar with the signals of the smoke detector!

Watch out the following criterias for installing a smoke detector: Do not install the smoke detector • in areas where there is a draught (next to windows, doors, etc.) • in areas where there is steam/exhaust fumes/dust, etc. • next to lighting fixtures and ballasts (at least 1 m dis- tance) Connections, displays and operating elements A B C D E F G H I Battery (9 V monobloc Battery) Battery connection Test button and LEDs (red/green) Smoke detector Switch for radio networking Connecting pins for 230 V Cover cable connection230 V Network terminal 230 V Base Selecting the installation site E B D C A F I H G max. 60 m² min. 0,3 m max. 8 m min. 0,5 m min. 0,5 m max. 6 m The next examples show you how many smoke detector are necessary for the minimal und optimal protection rate: Minimal Optimal 1 Mount the base with 2 srews. 2 Connect a 9 V battery and put it into the smoke de- tector. 3 Open the cover of the cable connection. – For flush-mounting installation there is a special base inside the box. 4 Put away the cable connection terminal. 5 Connect the 230 V cables to the terminal. 6 Press the smoke detector from below to the base and turn it anti-clockwise. | Watch out the correct position of the connecting pins for 230 V! How to mount the smoke detector 1 2 ~230 V 3 4 When using several smoke detectors it can make sense to network the detectors with each other. When one de- tector is triggered, this triggers the rest of the detectors in the network. ARGUS smoke detectors 230 V/Connect 230 V an be connected via the network terminal by wire or by integrat- ed radio. Wired networking is carried out via a separate free core of the 230 V cable. A maximum of 25 detectors can be connected via wire. Between two detectors the network cable may not be longer than 25 m. ¼ CAUTION Wire networking is allowed with ARGUS smoke detectors Connect 230V/ARGUS smoke detectors 230 V only. Wired networking with ARGUS Connect smoke detectors is not allowed. With a radio network, it is possible to assign different ID numbers to ensure that other smoke detectors in the neighbourhood (where the reception ranges overlap) are not triggered, for example. There are group and device IDs. • Group ID: for establishing a smoke detector group • Device ID: for establishing an individual device ad- dress (for later use) These group IDs are set using the 4 switches of the switch bank located directly next to the network terminal. When one smoke detector is triggered, the warning tones of the other smoke detectors in the transmission radius with the same group ID are triggered (the LED only glows on the smoke detector triggered initially). These smoke detectors are no longer able to transmit the signal by radio, as they can only be receivers or transmitters!
