3.4 Serial Communication
3.4.1 General
The device has a serial interface for connection to CODAN ARGUS docking stations.
The serial interface designed by CODAN ARGUS enables the communication with CODAN ARGUS docking stations. 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 to the serial interface of the device while it is connected to a patient.

Serial Communication
3.4.2 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 4 800 Baud for single pumps, 9 600 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.
• 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.

5.6 Battery Maintenance

xx Battery maintenance – how to proceed
Carry out this procedure out at least quarterly, preferably monthly.
1 Operate the device via battery until the BATTERY EMPTY alarm is displayed.
2 Connect the device to the mains or a CODAN docking station until the battery is charged 100%.
66
5.6.1 Correction Factor for the Remaining 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 battery capacity can be reduced to a minimum of 50%. For you there is no
opportunity to adjust the battery capacity on the device to its real value. But you can
calculate an estimated value of the remaining battery capacity.
xx Correction factor (remaining battery capacity) – how to calculate

1 Discharge the fully charged battery at 5 ml/h.
2 Read out the discharge time of the battery by one of the following methods:
• Use the RECALL function in the INFO menu of the device
• Read the syringe scale
• Look for the time stamp in the history log
Time to discharge battery (at 5 ml/h)
3 Battery runtime correction factor = hh See screenshot above
Specified runtime (at 100% rest capacity) * 100
4 Fully charge the battery.
5 Apply the calculated correction factor to the displayed percentage and remaining battery runtime.
Now you have a good estimate of the remaining battery runtime.
66
The battery charging system included in the device requires additional electronics (temperature and current sensors) to
provide a high current to accelerate charging time. Therefore the battery must be obtained from CODAN ARGUS AG. The
charging time depends also on the current pump status (infusing rate, standby).
5.7 Technical Error Codes
