DETECTORS
The heart of the Argus fire detection is the spark detector. The detector is equipped with
a lens that can see infrared light emitted by extremely small sparks and warn you before
they have a chance to become a fire.
There are two types of detectors, the 343 and 535.
As of 2014 only the 535 detector is available for sale, and all orders for Argus will
include the 535 detector only. Although there are a few changes between the two
detectors, they operate identically. This means that if you choose to replace one of the
old 343 detectors in your gin with a new 535 one, the zone you modified will still work
as before.
The changes between the 343 and 535 detectors that you should be aware of are:
•
Mounting dimensions are different. When replacing old detectors, new holes must be
drilled for the mounting brackets.
•
The 535 detector has a two-tone LED that indicates whether detector is in an alarm
state (red) or standby (green).
•
The End-of-line (EOL) module required for the 343 detector is no longer needed for
the 535. Instead, there is a switch on the 535’s circuit board that should be toggled in
the last detector in a zone. For more information about zone card/detector wiring,
please refer to section 2.4.
