Table 38: Operating panels 
Possible operation is gray marked in the fields.  
One or more responsibilities can be parameterised centrally for every operating panel. This 
means, for example, that before it outputs an alarm signal output the SIGMASYS software 
checks which operating panel (or GMA Manager) has given the alarm. The responsibilities 
cannot be modified by the customer during live operation. If the operating panel is responsible 
for multiple (or all) control and indicating panels in a SIGMANET system, the operating pa-
nel’s LED displays operate as general indications. To obtain clear and detailed information on 
the display, press the “Display” button.  
In addition control and indicating panel responsibility, alarm types/criteria can also be param-
eterised to differentiate between:  
•  Alarms (including prealarm, prewarning)  
• Faults  
•  Signals (including armed/unarmed)  
• Inspections  
The alarm types selected are displayed as activated on the relevant operating panel. The 
other alarm types are entered as “silent”, i.e. without internal acoustic alarm (modification 
possible).  
An EN 54-4-compliant power supply and 12 Ah batteries (minimum) are to be provided to 
supply power to the remote operating panel. Both the PSU and the batteries should be in-
stalled in a SIGMASYS empty housing (S24230-C512-A1) adjacent to the operating panel.
