 3. ARGUSservice Software

3.1. General

For easy and quick configuration procedures it is recommended to use the PC software ARGUSservice. This utility is user friendly PC
software with various functions working over the PC serial COM port. This Windows based software allows you

– to change configurations
– to do a software upgrade
– to set the pump clock
– to set or change a PIN code
– to read and print out the pump’s history
– to replicate easily pump configurations
– to set the service interval
– to download clear text in a language different from English
– to re-program the serial number
– to download medication libraries

The up-to-date and clearly structured design of this self-describing PC-tool allows a very easy and rapid modification of the
ARGUS 606 S, ARGUS 600 S, the ARGUS 707 V and ARGUS 708 V pumps as well as the ARGUS docking stations. This software is
available from your local distributor or directly from CODAN ARGUS AG.

REMARK:
The ARGUSservice is designed for the use with device software versions greater or equal to 4.00.

Warning!
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 the ARGUS 606 S over the serial interface RS232 is done by connecting the interface cable (REF 10.093 / 600951)
to the serial interface outlet of the serial PC-COM port.

Before the software can be started make sure that

– the pump is connected to mains

– the interface cable is connected to the pump’s serial interface RS232 and your PC
– the pump is in the configuration mode (see chapter 2.2)

Warning!
After each change of a configuration, a function check and a control measurement has to be performed!
An active communication between the pump and the PC is not apparent on the pump.

the clock of your PC.
Note: The factory setting bases on Central European Time
(GMT + 1.00 h). All history logs are recorded accordingly. There
is no automatic switch between summer and winter time.

A PIN code prevents unauthorized persons to change config-

urations by means of the ARGUSservice tool. The default PIN
code of the factory setting is “0”.

14.543_E_SM_en_A606S_4.8X 15
3. ARGUSservice Software

The last 1’000 events are registered in real time.

For details see chapter 3.7 “History Log”.

Use this feature to set an alarm reminding that the safety check
is due. The released alarm is displayed on the pump at power
up showing the message “Safety Check is Due!” accompanied
by an acoustic signal.
Before activating the “Service Interval”, the configuration
indices #393 (interval in months) and #394 (interval in hours)
have to be filled in accordingly.

Load an ARGUS language file in order to change the display

language. English is included in the pump’s firmware; any other
language must be downloaded.
To activate the English language again, the downloaded lan-
guage has to be erased (see menu “Extras” below).
Only one language can be activated on the pump.

This feature supports fast and easy configuration procedures

including the released syringes. Use your specific configuration
files previously saved on your PC or the configuration settings
of the connected pump. The configuration settings have to be
in accordance with the software version of your pump; com-
patibility is given when the two first digits, e.g. 4.40 and 4.43,
are identical.
Note: Settings of pump clock, safety check reminder and calib-
ration data cannot be replicated from one pump to another.

The medication library must have the format .xml in order to be

downloaded by mean of the ARGUSservice tool.
The file is created by the responsible health care professional.

4. Serial Communication

4.1. General

The ARGUS 606 S pump has one serial interface connector per default being connected to ARGUS Docking Stations.

An additional optional interface board is available for a RS 232 interface on the RJ45 connector including a separation device ac-
cording to EN60601-1-1:2000.
Please refer to chapter 4.3 for installation directions.

Other optional interface types (Ethernet, USB, WLAN) will be provided on request.

Warning!
The serial interface designed by CODAN ARGUS enables the communication with ARGUS 100 M and ARGUS 60 M docking sta-
tions. In such a case the separation device according to EN60601-1-1:2000 is given by the docking station itself!
It is prohibited to connect the interface cable (REF. 600951/10.093) to the docking interface of the pump while the pump is connec-
ted to a patient!

An active communication between the pump and the PC is not apparent on the pump!

4.2. Serial Communication Protocol

The following characteristics are valid for all 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 CODAN ARGUS AG for the complete serial communication protocol description.

4.3. Installation of an optional interface board

An optional interface board can be installed on the main board of the ARGUS 606 S.
Remove any covers on the main board connectors (if any).
Please plug-in the interface vertically and do not bend it. Carefully close the device and ensure a proper positioning of the interface
board in the mechanical guide included in the device cover.
To activate the interface board it is necessary to adjust the respective indices in the pump configuration (tree “Communication”).

6.6. Pump Accuracy Measurement

Insert a 50 ml syringe (e.g. Codan Perfusion) filled with distilled

water. Purge the extension line and start to administer the
water into a cup placed on a balance which has been zeroed
before. Please verify that the inserted syringe type corresponds
with the syringe displayed in the pump screen.

The pump settings must be:

Rate: 200 ml/h
Volume: 20 ml

The resulting net weight shall read 20 g ±2% (refers to a rate

range from 1 ml/h – 1’100 ml/h).

6.7. Correction of the Battery Capacity

The capacity of the battery will decrease over time like all
batteries do. Therefore the capacity status (percentage and
remaining time) displayed in the menu “BATTERY INFO” may
differ from the real battery capacity.
The configuration menu in the ARGUSservice tool allows ad-
justing the battery capacity to real capacity values. The default
value of a new battery is 100% (see index 368). The battery
capacity can be reduced down to a minimum of 50 %.

Procedure to evaluate the correction factor:

1. Discharge the fully charged battery @ 5ml/h
2. Read out the time being used to discharge the bat-
tery (use the recall function in the INFO Menu
of the pump or read the syringe scale or look
for the time stamp in the history log)
3. Battery lifetime correction factor = infu-
sion time / specified runtime * 100
4. Select index 368 in the ARGUSservice tool
and enter the calculated factor

Warning!
The battery charging system included in the ARGUS 606 S re-
quires additional electronics (temperature and current sensors)
to provide a high current to accelerate charging time. Therefore
the battery pack must be obtained from CODAN ARGUS AG.
The charging time may depend on the current pump status
(infusing rate, stand-by).
