Introduction
The Argon alert and monitoring solution allows the user to pre-set a temperature
range and receive an alert (via SMS, phone call, email or server script) if the
current temperature exceeds the pre-set range. It is also possible to read the
current temperature.
An email/http log is also supported. Temperature logs can be recorded at
predetermined intervals and sent to a valid email address when required.
The Argon software can be controlled in two ways:
1. Via the use of SMS command messages. These are standard text messages
sent from a mobile phone which are formatted in a specic way to congure
the software (i.e. change GPRS settings)
2. Via a Windows compatible based conguration tool (USB to serial driver and
Microsoft .NET framework required – ensure Windows has latest service pack
installed on your computer).
The Argon software is designed to operate only with Sensormetrix temperature
1-wire sensor(s) in conjunction with Serial RS232 Proton-1 Temperature adapter.
(Included in Argon kit).
Functions
• Remote temperature reporting of site equipment
• Logging of temperature data in remote locations via email/HTTP post (see
note)
• Over/under temperature alarm notication via SMS and phone call (DTMF alert
tone), HTTP post alert and email.
• Instantaneous temperature reading via status SMS
Note: HTTP post support allows integration of logs and alerts from the unit to
existing server side reporting / management applications.
Features
• Global Quad Band GSM/GPRS Engine
• External GSM Antenna for increased performance

Setup Proton-1 Sensor Adapter
1. Connect the proton-1 adapter to the RS232 connection on the Argon unit.
2. Power off the Argon, wait 8-10 seconds and power up the Argon.
3. The green status light on the Proton-1 will now rapidly blink to indicate it’s in
programming mode.
4. Connect a temp-sense probe to the Proton-1.
5. Wait 20 seconds and the light will blink steadily once per second on each
successful temperature read.
Steady State Operation
Once the power up initialisation has been completed, the unit will go into the
steady state operation mode. In this mode it will cycle through all the attached
temperature sensors that have been identied and stored in non-volatile memory.
The time taken to cycle through and read all the sensors depends on how many
sensors are attached.
On reading a sensor the green status LED on the proton-1 will blink to indicate
that a temperature measurement has been taken.
If new temperature sensors are attached during run time operation, these new
sensors will be ignored. Sensors can only be detected as part of the power up
process. If sensors are removed, or some event prevents them from being read,
this will be detected as an error condition. In error, the sensor will report back a
value of -999.9°C.
Add or Remove Sensors
To add or remove a sensor at a later date the Proton-1 to needs to be put in to
programming mode again.
1. Disconnect the old sensor from the Proton-1
2. Power off the Argon, wait 8-10 seconds and power up the Argon.
3. The green status light on the Proton-1 will now rapidly blink to indicate it’s
in programming mode.
4. Now follow setup procedure above for the new sensors.

SMS Commands
The Argon software may be controlled via the use of SMS Command messages.
These are standard text messages sent via a mobile phone which are formatted in
a specic way to congure the Argon (i.e. change GPRS settings).
For security reasons all commands start with a password, to ensure that your
Argon’s conguration is only set by authorised personnel.
The default password is connect.
To test the Argon is functioning correctly send an SMS command to the Argon
SIM phone number from a mobile phone and type the message connect status.
This will Retrieve the current temperature readings and send the data via SMS to
the number this originated the request.
Commands are of the format [password] command [parameters]. If an invalid
command is sent to the Argon 100, it will reply with an SMS text message
“ERROR command not recognised”. Invalid parameters supplied will give a
command specic error message.
The Argon SMS command set comprises:
SMSPASSWORD
Changes the current password. The password is required in all SMS command
messages sent to the unit. The default password is connect. Valid values are
1-12 characters of 0-9, a-z lowercase only.
Format: [current_password] smspassword [new_password]
Example: connect smspassword banana123
GPRS
GPRS settings are required for email alerts & reporting. Allows settings of the
GPRS APN, username, and password for the SIM card. These are obtained from
the SIM card provider.
Format: [smspassword] gprs [apn] [username] [password]
Example: connect gprs payandgo.o2.co.uk payandgo password
NAME
Sets the name of the Argon unit. This may be used to uniquely identify the Argon
unit when events (alarms / logs) are sent.

SENSOR
Set sensor_no/min temp/max temp/report type/alias.
a. sensor_no: 1-5
b. Min temp & max temp (sometimes called safe limits) are in Celcius. The format
must be as follows:
1. -/+xxx.x (numbers only)
2. Example: -12.3°C is denoted by -012.3
3. Example: +5.4°C is denoted by +005.4
c. report_type Type: This consists of the following:
1. both = Alert will be sent if temp goes outside safe limits and alert will also
be sent if temp falls back within the safe limits.
2. out = Alert will be sent if the temp goes outside min temp & max temp
settings. No alert will be sent if the temp falls back into the safe limit.
3. in = Alert will be sent if the temp falls inside the min temp and max temp
settings.
d. alias: This allow you to give the sensors a name.
Format: [smspassword] sensor [sensor_no] [reading_min] [reading_max]
[report_type] [alias]
Example 1: connect sensor 1 +020.0 +025.0 out
This will congure sensor1 to have a safe range of 20°C to
25°C and only send an alert if the temp goes outside these
safe limits. No alias set so sensor will be referred to as sens1 in
alerts.
Example 2: connect sensor 1 -001.5 +005.5 out serverroom1
This will congure sensor1 to have a safe range of -1.5°C to
5.5°C and will send an alert if the temp goes outside these safe
limits. The sensor will be named severroom1 in all alerts.
Example 3: connect sensor 5 +011.5 +050.0 both kitchen
This will congure sensor5 to have a safe range of 11.5°C to
50.0°C and will send an alert if the temp goes outside these safe
limits and a second alert if the temp falls back into the safe limits.
The sensor will be named kitchen in all alerts.

Hardware User Manual
Rev 1.2
General Notes
If the SMS password is forgotten then the Argon it can also be reset using the
Windows based serial conguration utility. Please contact us for information on
how to perform this task if required.
Notes
Note 1: SMS timings are approximate and are dependent on the GSM network
provider. SMS messages are not guaranteed to be sent.
Note 2: SMS commands refer to sensor number starting at sensor 1 and ending
at sensor 5.
Note 3: To disable logging/alerting, clear any specied telephone/email/SMS/
HTTP URL. i.e send SMS connect notify alert sms or use software and delete
any unwanted numbers.
Note 4: Setting notify will clear any internally recorded but unsent alerts/logs.
Note 5: Multipart SMS’s are not supported for any command messages, your
device may automatically send a multipart message if you go over the SMS 160
character limit.
Note 6: All alerts can be used simultaneously: SMS/CALL/EMAIL
Setup Considerations
The Argon will respond to all temperature state changes however this may take
a number of seconds for the response to reach the end user. This is due to the
software processing the request and network delay in transmission of the SMS.
Note: Network delays are beyond the control of the Argon.
SMS Conrmation
Software will acknowledge receipt / action of correctly formatted command
messages with a message in the format OK [name of command processed].
Incorrectly formatted messages will be responded to with ERROR [error message].
Replies are sent to the sending of the original request. The only exception is that
command messages sent with an invalid password will not be responded to.
smspassword must be composed of 0-9, a-z, only and 1-12 characters in length.
sms conguration messages must be within 1 SMS message length, this
means that a maximum of 160 characters can be used to send the conguration
message.
conguration error messages will be not be processed if any errors are found.
They will be reported and disregarded.

Environmental conditions: The terminal must be installed so that the
environmental conditions stated such as temperature, humidity and vibration are
satised. Additionally, the electrical specications must not be exceeded.
GSM Signal strength: The terminal/antenna has to be placed in a position that
ensures sufcient GSM signal strength. To improve signal strength, the antenna
can be moved to a more elevated position. Signal strength usually depends on
how close the modem is to GSM base station. You must ensure that the location
at which you intend to use the modem is within the network coverage area.
Degradation in signal strength can be the result of a disturbance from another
source, for example an electronic device in the immediate vicinity.
Tip: Before installing the modem you can use an ordinary mobile telephone
to check the signal strength in each possible installation location. Sequoia
Technology can also provide a GSM signal tester which provides a full breakdown
of the GSM signal received. Please contact Sequoia Technology for more
information. http://www.sequoia.co.uk
When considering the location for the modem and antenna placement, you must
consider received signal strength as well as cable length as long cable runs can
attenuate the received signal strength.
Network and Subscription: Before your application is used, you must ensure
that your chosen network provides the necessary telecommunication services.
Contact your service provider to obtain the necessary information.
• If you intend to use SMS in the application, ensure this is included in your
subscription.
• Consider the choice of the supplementary services such as GPRS, Voice and
CSD.
The Argon is not suitable for military & medical applications, Sequoia Technology
Ltd and all divisions are not liable for any missed or unsent temperature alarms.
We recommend you fully test and simulate alarm situations approval installation of
the Argon.

Power Supply
• Use a high-quality power supply cable with low resistance. This ensures that
the voltages at the connector pins are within the specied range, especially
during the maximum peak current of approximately 2A.
• When the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply, connect a
fast 1.25A fuse in line with the positive supply. This protects the power cabling
and terminal from damage.
Installing the Modem
Before installing the terminal please take into account the amount of additional
space required for the mating connectors and cables that will be used with the
terminal in the application.
• Where access is restricted, it may be easier to connect all the cables to the
modem prior to securing it in the application.
General Precautions
The Argon terminal is a standalone item designed for indoor use only. For use
outside it must be installed in a weatherproof enclosure.
Do not exceed the environmental and electrical limits as specied.
• Avoid exposing the terminal to lit cigarettes, naked ames or to extreme hot or
cold temperatures.
• Never try to dismantle the modem. There are no components inside the
modem that can be serviced by the user. If you attempt to dismantle the
modem, you will invalidate the warranty.
• The Argon terminal must not be installed or located where the surface
temperature of the plastic case may exceed 85°C.
• All cables connected to the Argon terminal must be secured or clamped,
immediately adjacent to the modem’s connectors, to provide strain relief and
to avoid transmitting excessive vibration to the modem in the installation.
• Ensure the power cable to the Argon terminal does not exceed 3 metres.
• To protect power supply cables and to meet the re safety requirements when
the unit is powered from a battery or a high current supply, connect a fast
