DANGER
Smoke fumes are poisonous and can quickly lead
to a loss of consciousness. In the event of fire, inform 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 expose yourself to unnecessary danger. Inform the
fire brigade (WHO, WHERE, WHAT)! - Your local
fire brigade is happy to advise you.

The next examples show you how many smoke detector
are necessary for the minimal und optimal protection rate:
A maximum of 25 detectors can be connected via wire.
Between two detectors the network cable may not be
longer than 25 m.
Minimal
Make sure that everyone in the building is familiar
with the signals of the smoke detector!

Getting to know the smoke detector
ARGUS smoke detector Connect
Art. no. MTN5480..
The ARGUS smoke detector Connect (referred to below
as the smoke detector) is a battery-powered smoke detector for early detection of smouldering fires and open
fires with smoke building-up indoor.
Normal operation
The red LED flashes every 40 seconds.
Accessories
– Sealing pin for ARGUS smoke detector
(Art. no. MTN547000)
– System relay flush-mounted for ARGUS smoke detector (Art. no. MTN548001)
You can use sealing pins to see whether the smoke detector is manipulated.
The flush-mounted system relay controls external alarm
devices.
For your safety
CAUTION
• Do not paint the smoke detector!
• The loud warning tone can damage your hearing (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 smoke detector only works with a functioning, correctly connected and inserted battery.
Installation 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 necessarily other rooms or other floors!
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not
replaced in the correctly. Do not damage, crush
or short circuit the battery. Do not use pointed
or sharp tools when replacing the battery. Only
use batteries of the same type when replacing
used batteries.

When you combine a radio smoke detector network with a wire smoke alarm network, there may
only be one smoke detector with active radio
operation in the wire smoke detector network!

There are group and device IDs.
• Group ID: for establishing a smoke detector group
• Device ID: for establishing an individual device address (for later use)
2
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!

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.
max. 8 m
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.

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 distance)
1 Mount the base with 2 srews.
2 Connect a 9 V battery and put it into the smoke detector.
3 Press the smoke detector from below to the base
and turn it anti-clockwise.
Radio operation is switched off when the ID has
been set to 0.0 (all switches to "0"). This is useful
if the smoke detector is only networked by cable.
For all other switch settings, radio operation is always switched on!

How to network the smoke detector
When using several smoke detectors it can make sense
to network the detectors with each other. When one detector is triggered, this triggers the rest of the detectors
in the network.
• Dispose used batteries according to the relevant regulations and without harming the environment.

ARGUS Connect smoke detectors can be connected via
the network terminal by wire or by integrated radio. Wired
networking is carried out via a separate cable (e.g. telephone cable).

As a rule, several smoke detectors are combined to form
a system. More than 40 smoke detectors should never
be networked, regardless of whether the connections
are wireless or wired. If more than 40 radio detectors are
networked, then the time required until the last detector
has reacted will be too long to guarantee a reliable fire
alarm.

1 Press the test button for at least 1 second.
As long as the test button is pressed, a pulsating warning

The smoke detector transmits a test alarm for 60 seconds. All other networked Connect smoke detectors will
detect this within 50 seconds and sound the alarm as
well.
We recommend that you replace your smoke detector after about ten years.

The maximum radio module range of 30 m means that
devices are surrounded by a radio cell with a diameter of
30 m. Within such a radio cell, 10 Connect smoke detectors may be radio-networked together.
In reality, the size of a radio cell is reduced by many factors. Structural conditions are just as much a factor as
with all other radio components. Walls and furniture, etc.
also cause attenuation, which must be taken into account. This is why a functional test is obligatory before final installation!

If 2 radio-networked smoke alarms already exist in the
wired line, then no additional wired lines may be connected to this system via radio.
Again, the reason is the running time for the signals,
which would be too long in such a system. The time between triggering the first detector and the reaction of the
last one would be too long to guarantee a reliable fire
alarm.
If there is only one radio-networked smoke alarm in wired
lines, then up to 10 wired lines may be networked via radio. The radio-networked smoke alarms of these wired
lines must all be in the same radio cell.
1 Turn the smoke detector clockwise and pull it downwards away from the base.
2 Change the battery.
3 Mount the smoke detector again.
Maintenance and care
Wipe the smoke detector clean (using a moist cloth only), carefully remove dust using a brush.
Carry out a functional test afterwards.
V5480-561-00 03/08
When Connect smoke detectors are wired to one another, they form a wired line. Within a line like this, a maximum of 2 radio-networked smoke alarms is allowed.
Each of these smoke alarms must always be assigned to
a different group ID. This type of network is conceivable
in a multiple family house, where two flats are connected
to each other. Radio operation for all other smoke detectors in this wired line must be switched off (ID = 0.0).
