Using the “ARGUS service” tool, the complete and detailed pump configuration can be done.
2.8. User syringe
The ARGUS 600 Syringe pump uses syringes from various manufacturers (see user
manual list of recommended syringes). If you want to use any other brand you must be
sure that the syringe is CE marked and is specified by the syringe manufacturer to be
pressure resistant and/or safe to be used with infusion pumps, the syringe must be
made out of 3 parts (barrel, plunger, sealing) and have Luer-Lock connection (same
applies to extension lines). When all these points are met you are allowed to configure
your own "USER" syringe (one per size). Use the “ARGUS service” tool to enter the
syringe parameters into index 340 – 348 (50 ml syringe).

2.9. Medication list
2.9.1. General
To display medication names, index 29 (menu "MEd") must be set to "Yes". The selected medication name can be displayed also in alternate mode (rate, ml inf./ med.
name) during infusion, for that set index 56 to “Yes”.
After enabled special function “Med” the following medication names can be selected
via pump keypad (see user manual).
2.9.2. User medication
32 user medication names can be custom defined. Choose between capital and small
letters for a better displayed medication name. Because of the 7-segment pump display some characters maybe difficult to read.

3. SERIAL COMMUNICATION OF THE PUMP
3.1. General
The ARGUS 600 Syringe pump has two serial interfaces on board. One is wired to the
docking interface connector and one is an optional RS232 connector.
Important remark!
Only the optional RS232 connector is galvanic separated. The docking interface on the
pump is a non galvanic isolated interface! Do not use the docking interface on the
pump together with the interface cable (part 10.093) on a patient!
If the pump is docked into a docking station ARGUS 60 M or ARGUS 100 M, the software switches automatically to the docking interface and the docking station builds the
separation device (galvanic isolation) then.
3.2. Serial communication protocol
The following characteristics are basics for all the ARGUS devices (volumetric pumps,
syringe pumps, docking stations with V4.xx and PCs) which are intended to communicate with the device mentioned in this service manual.
• Full-duplex RS232, currently 4800Baud for single pumps,
9600 Baud for docking stations (also on master/slave-link).
• Simple master (host/PC) – slave (device) communication (host does polling).
• The host has to repeat the request if there is no valid response.
• Uses a checksum (CRC-8).
• Binary data transmission, thus no ASCII/text parsing.
• Fast & direct communication with pumps on ARGUS docking station.
• Specified timeouts during remote mode.
• Basic framing technique used as in the Serial Infrared Link Access Protocol (IrLAP)
Version 1.1.
Please contact your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG for the complete serial
communication protocol description.

4. ARGUS SERVICE
4.1. General
The ARGUS service utility is a high and user friendly PC software which can configure
and upgrade pumps over PC serial COM port. With this Windows based software you
can also set pump clock, change PIN code, read and print out history and easily replicate pump configurations, and so on. The modern and clearly structured design of this
self-describing PC-tool allows a very easy and rapid modification of the A600 Syringe
pump, the A707 & 708 Volumetric pump and the ARGUS docking station. This software may be available from your local distributor or directly from ARGUS Medical.
REMARK:
“ARGUS service” may only be used with software versions greater or equal to 4.00.
CAUTION!
The syringe pump has to be disconnected from the patient before and while the serial
interface cable is connected to the pump.
The connection of an A600 over serial interface RS232 can be done by connecting the
interface cable (REF 10.093) to the serial interface outlet of the serial PC-COM port.

6.3.12. Pressure limit calibration (minimal)
Insert a filled 50 ml syringe and connect the patient line to the pressure measurement system (manometer). Press "MODE" key, the display indicates "0.2b"
"xxxx" and the pump starts to run with a low rate. Close the line (occl.)
NOTE!
To speed up the process increase the infusion rate in steps, by pressing the key
"1". It is recommended to reduce the rate (with key “100”) when the pressure on
the manometer is close to 0.2 bar, this allows a more precise calibration.
Important remark:
For each pressure calibration step, a new syringe from the same brand and batch
must be used. For a more precise calibration, use a spring gauge. The ex works
calibration has been performed with a spring gauge.

6.4. Pressure control and pump accuracy measurement
Pressure control
Start an infusion at an infusion rate of 200 ml/h according to the user manual and set
the pressure limit at 900 mbar. Connect a manometer with the system to see the pressure in the tube and then simulate a downstream occlusion.
The pump must stop and the alarm must be activated at the default pressure limit of 900
mbar ±200 mbar.
If the result of this control measurement does not fulfil the stated requirement, a pressure calibration according to chapter "Final calibration" has to be done.
Pump accuracy
Select a 50 ml syringe (e.g. Cod -50-) to check the pump accuracy. Insert a new
(e.g. Codan Perf. 50 ml) filled with distilled water and start to pump into a cup placed on
a balance.
Pump settings: set rate at 200 ml/h, set “ml total” at 20 ml
Net weight result: 20 g ±2%

6.6. Battery capacity calibration
Each battery is subject to a chemical process with a slowly decreasing running time. After many charge and discharge cycles the battery may not have the capacity to provide
the running time shown in the menu "CAP".
To adjust the running time of the used battery please follow these steps:
- Go into the configuration mode (see chapter 2.3).
- Select address "200" in the left display (or index "368" if you are using the
“ARGUS service” tool).
- Enter the data "615" in the right display and press the "START/STOP" key to
accept the data. This will set the battery discharge time to the maximum of
>10 hours.
- Switch the pump off.
- Be sure you have unplugged the line connection.
- Switch the pump on and run the pump on battery until it switches off.
- Charge the battery for more than 16 hours.
- Switch on the pump and start an infusion with a rate of 5 ml/h. The infused sum
at this rate multiplied by 12 is now equal to battery operating time in minutes.
- Leave the pump running on battery until it switches off again.
- Connect pump to the AC line.
- Switch the pump on while keeping the key "1" pressed. Multiply the value in the right
display by 12, this gives the capacity of the battery in minutes. Multiply this time by
0.8 and enter the result on address "200" in the configuration mode (or index “368” if
you are using the “ARGUS service” tool). This time defines from now on, the battery
running time of the pump including a 15 minutes pre-alarm (valid after a full charge).
- Standard battery 6V/1.2 Ah
If this time is less than 2 h, you should replace the battery (part 12.032). If the specified typical time of 2 h is not required, the battery has to be changed only if the time
less than 1.5 h, to respect to environmental pollution.
- High energy battery 6V/4 Ah
If this time is less than 8 h, you should replace the battery (part 12.026). If the specified typical time of 8 h is not required, the battery has to be changed only if the time
less than 5 h, to respect to environmental pollution.

7.1. General
CAUTION!
The ARGUS 600 S may only be used with accessories and spare parts which have
been approved by ARGUS Medical AG for safe technical use.
CAUTION!
If a new syringe was configured, pressure sensor, complete syringe drive, side wall,
housing, main board or power board was replaced, a full calibration is required.
Battery replacing:
After a battery change a safety standard check becomes necessary or at least a visual
check of the connections
Disassembly of the housing:
Disconnect the power cord and all interface connections prior to disassembly. Remove
pole clamp at the rear side. Remove the 7 screws on the casing base (6 • M4 and 1 •
M3), the 2 screws on left side cannot be removed completely. Place the casing cover
behind the casing base.
Remove the main board:
Remove the battery connector and all other cables of the main board.
Remove the syringe drive:
Move the drive unit fully right and remove the fixing plate. Unsolder the connecting
leads of the strain gauge (DMS) on the power board. Move the drive unit fully left. Disconnect earth cable from side wall, motor cable from main board and flex cable from
power board. Remove the syringe drive out from the housing by fully pressed clamp &
clutch levers.
Remove the cover drive unit:
Remove the 3 screws on the cover.
Important:
To disassemble the unit, open the beaks by hand one third (or put a coin be-
tween the beaks) then pull the cover with the levers out of the housing.
Remove the power board:
Important: Replacing the power board requires a new rough alignment of syringe barrel
holder diameter, strain gauge and a finale calibration. Unsolder the connecting leads of
the strain gauge on the power board. Remove all cables from the board and the 4 fixing
screws. Remove the board carefully.
Insert the power board:
Syringe barrel holder must be in the closed position (no syringe inserted). Loosen the
lock screw of the cogwheel on the syringe barrel holder potentiometer (R14) axle. Fix
the power board with the 4 screws. Make sure the lock screw of potentiometer R14 is
accessible from above. Solder the connecting leads of the strain gauge and connect the
other cables. Make sure to remove the AC power cord and operate the pump (with open
housing) on battery power for rough alignments.
