1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
IMPORTANT!
This service manual is intended for the exclusive use of authorized persons who
have been trained by ARGUS Medical AG in the maintenance and repair of the
ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station.
The service manual is meant to be used together with the ‘User Manual’.
IMPORTANT!
ARGUS Medical AG shall not assume any responsibility for any manipulations which
have been carried out on the ARGUS 60 M or ARGUS 100 M docking station by a
non-authorized person.
IMPORTANT!
System V4: The ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station with software version
4.30 only supports new ARGUS pump firmware versions beginning with v4.30.
IMPORTANT!
The reading of the barcode (medicament name and infusion data's on a syringe or a
fluid bag) and the data transfer to the pump are fail save.
The data transfer from the ARGUS 60 M & 100 M docking station to a PC is fail safe
only if the third party software and the PC hardware fulfills EN60601-1-1/-2/-4 itself.
Please contact ARGUS for details & permission to connect.
CAUTION!
The ARGUS 60 M & ARGUS 100 M docking station may only be used with spare
parts, accessories, pumps recommended by ARGUS Medical AG. The functional
safety of the docking station is not guaranteed if non approved materials are used.
The safety of the patient may be endangered.
This manual contains the latest data available. It is subject to further modifications in
accordance with technical improvements.

The configuration possibilities with the “ARGUS service” PC utility tool constitute a
modification of the docking station and may only be carried out by authorized persons!
CAUTION!
After changing the configuration a functional check has to be performed!

MASTER & SLAVE (cascade)
14.227._A60_A100 M en.SM.V4.3X ARGUS 28.03.06 / PJ 5 / 22
3. MASTER & SLAVE (CASCADE)
3.1. General
The system V4 firmware allows to cascade two docking stations (both either ARGUS 60 M
or ARGUS 100 M). Thus many more combinations of pumps are possible and a single bar-
code reader can be used to operate both docking stations.
With the ARGUS service configuration indexes # 1+2+3+4 you define a
logical communication sequence:
(Personal Computer optional) →Master docking →Slave docking →(Barcode-Reader optional)
Example:
Slave
Master
Cascade
cable
(12.046)
Barcode-
reader
(e.g. ARGUS 60 M)
(e.g. ARGUS 100 M)

4. ARGUS SERVICE
4.1. General
The new ARGUS service utility is a highly user friendly PC software which can config-
ure and upgrade ARGUS devices 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 struc-
tured design of this self-describing PC-tool allows a very easy and rapid modification
of the ARGUS 600 Syringe pump, the ARGUS 707 / 708 Volumetric infusion pump
and the ARGUS 60 M / 100 M docking station. This software may be available from
your local distributor or directly from ARGUS Medical.
REMARK:
“ARGUS service” may only be used with V4 software versions greater or equal to 4.30.
CAUTION!
The docking station has to be disconnected from the pumps before and while the se-
rial interface cable is connected to the docking station.
Connect a straight RS-232 cable from the docking data interface to the serial in-
terface (COM port) of your PC.
Start the ARGUS service
Press the ‘Docking Station’ button.
Select “Start Configurator” (see next chapter)
or “Start Update-Center” (see chapter 5.5.).

ARGUS service

Select the next step by pressing one of the
buttons (“Configuration” or “View history”).
4.2. ARGUS service – Configuration
Important remark:
After each configuration change,
a functional check has to be done!
4.2.1. Docking configuration
All configuration possibilities (indexes) mentioned in chapter 2.2 can be modified
herein in its own tree structure as shown above.
All indexes which are different from the ARGUS firmware default are highlighted.
CAUTION!
Every pump used with the ARGUS 60 M or ARGUS 100 M docking station has to be
preconfigured with its corresponding serial number label!
Index #396 in the configuration of each pump must be programmed with the corre-
sponding serial number. Please refer to the pumps respective service manual to
change these indexes if necessary. In the case of an invalid serial number, the dock-
ing station will generate an alarm and the pump can not be programmed via barcode.

4.2.2. How to edit a configuration
The following procedure describes how to edit a docking configuration:
1. Press the green “Edit” button.
2. The software will ask for the docking PIN code as next. The button “Edit” changes
its colour and will be renamed into “Download”.
3. If you want to import a configuration from a file press the “Import” button, otherwise
skip this point (note: import does overwrite all settings including PIN and serial).
4. Select “Configuration” in the structure tree in the left upper frame.
5. Select the index group you want to modify by selecting the according structure tree
and the according index.
6. Modify the according index (within the given restrictions shown).
Each value (number) must be acknowledged by the green “Enter” button.
Go through point 5 & 6 for all further indexes you want to modify.
7. Press the “Download” button if you want to save the modified configuration on the
docking station. Otherwise you can save the modified configuration into a file by
pressing the “Save” button.
8. Make a functional check on each docking station you have configured.
Important remark!
If a configuration has been edited (performed point 1 and 2) once do not disconnect
the docking station! Otherwise the docking station will remain in the PC-configuration
mode.

SOFTWARE UPDATES
14.227._A60_A100 M en.SM.V4.3X ARGUS 28.03.06 / PJ 10 / 22
5. SOFTWARE UPDATES
5.1. General
This chapter describes the procedure to perform software (firmware) updates on the
ARGUS 60 M and/or 100 M docking station.
To check the currently installed software release in your docking station:
•With versions 1.x (pre-V4), you can either read out the history or enquiry the dock-
ing station’s status over the serial interface (see older manuals).
•With versions 4.x (V4), you can use the ARGUS service tool.
Please refer to your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine the latest
software release available to run on your device hardware.
The ARGUS 60 M & 100 M contains a flash memory which can be updated easily via
the serial interface of a PC. This flash memory is divided in 2 sectors:
- User Program sector - Boot loader sector
The User Program sector contains the program which runs when the device is
switched on normally. The Boot loader sector contains a supportive program which
runs only when updating the flash memory.
5.2. Requirements for a software update
To update an ARGUS Medical device, the following items are needed:
•PC with Microsoft®Windows™ 2000/XP or newer, the Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0 must be installed!
•PC configuration tool “ARGUS service”
•A straight RS-232 serial interface cable (REF 12.041), connected to the
data interface (lower plug)
•Latest firmware (‘user program’), either as a file (A100_Vxxx.txt),
(“xxx” is the placeholder for the firmware version) or embedded inside ARGUS ser-
vice (this embedded version might be older, ask for a newer ARGUS service).
Those items are available from your local distributor or from ARGUS Medical AG.
5.3. Software update procedure
5.3.1. General
Please carefully check the software presently installed on the docking. If you have a
firmware lower than version 4.xx please follow chapter 5.4 to upgrade the firmware.
NOTE!
The user program performs an internal ROM-Test during the self test phase of the
docking station. If an error occurred during the update process the device will enter the
fail safe state (for fault codes please refer to chapter 8.2 ).
Please contact your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine the latest
software release able to run on your device hardware.
