Schneider Electric ARGUS- RF Duo Smoke Detector User Guide

en
The hush function allows you to manually set smoke detection to be less sensitive for a
specific time. This is useful if you are expecting a lot of smoke or dust and want to avoid
an alarm.
Pressing the function key shortly sets the smoke detector to mute mode for about nine
minutes. This significantly scales up the alarm threshold and the alarm is not triggered.
The LED flashes every 10 seconds during this period.

When the smoke detector is in hush mode, heat detection is activated.
If the ambient temperature rises rapidly or after a specific temperature value is reached,
the smoke detector triggers an alarm. The alarm signals are the same as for smoke detection.

The smoke detector recognises that the smoke chamber ages continuously over the
years.
However, excessive pollution of the smoke chamber can trigger an alarm.

• Smoke detectors detect smoke, but do not detect flames, heat or warmth
• Smoke detectors cannot extinguish fires!
• Reliable smoke detection only functions if a suitable installation location is chosen and the smoke detectors are maintained at regular intervals.
• Smoke fumes are highly poisonous. Just a few breaths result in loss of consciousness and lead to death in a short time!
• In the event of a fire, get yourself and other persons to safety as quickly as possible.

Function description
The ARGUS Smoke Detector RF (hereafter called smoke detector) is a battery-operated
smoke detector for private homes in accordance with EN14604 and vfdb14/01.
It promptly detects smoke from smouldering fires and open fires. An intensive acoustic
signal and a flashing LED warn persons of smoke fumes in good time, allowing them to
leave the danger area. The smoke detection works using the light scattering principle
(Tyndall effect). The detector measures the diffusion of beams of light in a smoke chamber. If there is a large proportion of particles in the air due to smoke, the beams are reflected more strongly and reach a sensor that triggers an alarm.
The smoke detector is supplied with power from a permanently installed battery that has
a service life of at least 10 years in normal use.
3x
1,5 sec
As soon as one smoke detector detects smoke, it triggers an alarm (local alarm) and forwards this alarm signal to all the other smoke detectors in the network. These also trigger
an alarm (remote alarm). This ensures that all persons in the flat or house are warned in
good time.
If the alarm at the local smoke detector ends, the alarm signal is no longer forwarded either. The other smoke detectors in the network then also end their alarms.
|
It is also possible to network the smoke detector with existing ARGUS Connect
smoke detectors.
|
Smoke detectors in a network cannot replace a fire alarm system!
ARGUS smoke detectors do not qualify as networked smoke detectors under the
provisions of the building regulations. Where building regulations require the mandatory installation of networked smoke detectors for specific buildings, a fire alarm
system must be installed.

A poorly chosen installation site can result in late alerting in the event of a fire, or
lead to false alarms.
• Kitchens that are frequently subject to steam or cooking fumes. Here, additional special
detectors (e.g. heat detectors) should be used.
• In the direct vicinity of open fireplaces or ovens which may occasionally emit smoke.
• Bathrooms that are frequently subject to water vapour.
• Garages that are subject to car exhaust.
• In the direct vicinity of lamps, electronic ballasts, transformers or other electromagnetic
fields that could interfere with the smoke detector's electronics.
• In the direct vicinity of ventilation openings (air conditioning, central ventilation system)
and fans.
• In the direct vincinity of heat sources or direct sunlight.
• Rooms subject to permanently high dust levels (e.g. workshops).
|
In the event of high dust levels (e.g. during renovations or rebuilding work), you
should dismount the smoke detector for the duration of the work. Immediately after
the work is complete, reinstall the smoke detector at its original installation site and
perform a function test!
Direct heat radiation (e. g. direct sunlight or vincinity to strong spotlights) can damage the smoke detector and the battery. Choose an installation site with sufficient
distance to strong heat sources.
The smoke detector is intended for use in private residential buildings and rooms with a
similar purpose.

Minimum and optimum protection
Radio networking
Deleting radio groups
Reset alarm memory
Your flat or home must have a minimum number of smoke detectors to ensure minimum
protection A in the event of a fire.
Radio networking is provided by the built-in radio module in the smoke detector. This is set
by two DIP switch blocks on the reverse of the smoke detector.
If you want to remove a smoke detector from a radio group or program it to another radio
group, you first have to delete the stored group address.
A saved local alarm is indicated for about 24 hours by the flashing yellow LED. You can
also reset the alarm memory manually.
At least one smoke detector (depending on the room size) must therefore be installed in
the following rooms:
In the case of radio networking, you can create different radio groups to connect only specific smoke detectors together in a network (e.g. on one floor) and to delimit different
groups in a transmission radius.
1 Switch DIP switch 1 in the "Teach-in mode" switch block to ON.
1 Press the function key briefly.
You can also combine wire-connected smoke detectors with radio-networked smoke detectors in an installation. This way, you can combine multiple wire-connected lines by radio
A or multiple radio groups by line networking B into an overall network.
2 Press the function key 3 x briefly. The yellow LED flashes 4 x quickly. The group ID
has been deleted.
3 Repeat the delete operation for each smoke detector.
The red LED flashes as in its normal operating state again.

The smoke detector can only be installed with the mounting base supplied. The supplied
mounting foil with pre-punched drilling holes protects the reverse of the smoke detector
against drilling dust.
For installation, only use the enclosed installation material!
Screwing the smoke detector into the mounting base connects the battery contacts. This
activates the battery and the service life starts. The smoke detector must lock firmly into
place in the mounting base.
If the smoke detector is removed from the mounting base, the battery contacts are disconnected and the smoke detector is deactivated immediately.
The battery is permanently installed in the smoke detector and cannot be replaced.
You can use sealing pins (available as accessories) when installing the smoke detector in
order to detect any manipulation or unauthorised disassembly.
Make sure that the smoke detector is aligned correctly when you install it. It should be installed so that the LED does not disturb anyone in the room when it flashes at regular intervals.

To do this, switch the DIP switches on all the smoke detectors in a radio group to the same
position (e.g. 1010 or 0110). This results in 16 combinations.
In position “0000” (all DIP switches down) in both DIP switch blocks, the radio module is switched off. In all other positions, the radio module is switched on and transmits radio telegrams at regular intervals.
Markings on the smoke detector and mounting base make it easier to align ideally. The
smoke detector can only lock into place in the mounting base and activate once these
markings are aligned after screwing in.

• at least once a year.
Clean the outside of the smoke detector with a damp cloth at regular intervals and remove

CAUTION

You can only carry out the function test with an activated smoke detector. The
smoke detector must be clipped into the mounting base.
Do not clean the smoke detector with compressed air!
Danger of hearing damage from alarm tone!
The function test triggers the smoke detector's loud alarm tone (at least 85 dB(A)).
During operation, remain as far from the smoke detector as possible and also protect your ears.
1 Press the function key on the smoke detector for at least 1 s.
An alarm tone sounds at short intervals and the LED flashes every 0.5 s for as long as you
hold down the function key. These alarm signals are the same as a real alarm.
|
If an alarm is already saved in the smoke detector when the function test is carried
out, pressing the function key first deletes the saved alarm. Then the triggered
alarm tone sounds.
|
If the alarm signals do not sound, the battery life has expired or the device is faulty.
In this case, replace the smoke detector without delay.

By pressing the function key, the smoke detector switches to hush mode for about
nin minutes. The LED flashes every 10 s during this period.
