4   Project planning for control and indicating panels   
 
4.1  Control and indicating panel selection  
The control and indicating panel size is determined by the number and location of the detec-
tors.  
To avoid exceeding maximum line lengths in a loop or spur, we recommend installing a num-
ber of smaller SIGMANET-capable control and indicating panels in large-scale systems 
(SIGMASYS C).

4.1.1  Alarm numbers  
The following number ranges can be created to facilitate system operation and organization. 
Data input guideline for:  
Object:   max. 9 characters, digits and spaces  
Area:   max. 9 characters, digits and spaces  
Organisational detector zone number: max. 9 characters, digits and spaces  
The organisational detector zone numbers are displayed in the case of alarms.  
The appropriate OBJ, AZ and ORG numbers must be unique throughout the entire 
SIGMANET system. 
The decision of numbers by using leading ‘0’ is not allowed.  
Operating inputs may be configured only with 4 characters.
