Multifunctional Danger Control and Indicating Panels SIGMASYS C and M (M-Modules) 1 / 128
1 Introduction
SIGMASYS is the system name of the Siemens danger alarm system.

The system comprises danger alarm control and indicating panels, various types of detector
(SIGMASYS detectors), special features such as networking (SIGMANET) and also configu-
ration and diagnosis tools (SIGMAPLAN, SIGMADIAG).
The SIGMASYS C and SIGMASYS M danger alarm control and indicating panels (GMZ) re-
ceive and display messages and can also be used to release alerting facilities, routing
equipment and automatic fire protection facilities (e.g. extinguishing systems).

2 Important notes
The technical regulations introduced below apply in respect of the Federal Republic of Ger-
many. Users in other countries must be sure to comply with all applicable local regulations.
Danger alarm systems must be installed in accordance with Appendix 1 to DIN VDE 0833 ‘Di-
rectory of relevant standards for electrical safety’ (previously from the DIN VDE 0800 series of
standards). Furthermore, all installation, extension, modification and operation activities must
be performed in accordance with DIN VDE 0833 (‘installation’ in this instance refers to plan-
ning, installation, commissioning and maintaining).
Installation and commissioning of the Voice Alarm System E100 may only be carried out by
an electrical specialist.
This specialist must furthermore be trained in the installation and commissioning of the E100
system.
Extract from DIN VDE 0833:
An electrical specialist is someone whose specialist training, knowledge and experi-

ence as well as knowledge of the relevant standards allows them to evaluate the task be-
fore them and recognize potential dangers.
Many years of experience in the relevant field are also acceptable in place of specialist
training. Furthermore, for the field of danger alarm systems engineering it is necessary to
have additional training, knowledge and experience of the electrical engineering fields of
danger alarm systems engineering, telecommunications technology, process data process-
ing and heavy current technology

fire sections with a total surveillance area of up to 6000 m can be monitored.
Monitored alarm line as a spur

Multiple detector zones with up to 32 automatic or 10 non-automatic fire detectors can be
connected in a fire section.
3.1 Limitations
Detector zone limitations are:

2
A surveillance area of up to 1600 m
A detector zone must not exceed a fire section.

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.

A 38-character text can be entered for every object, every area, every detector zone, every
output of the type AT/ST/EV/AL and every detector.
The detector group text is displayed if no detector text is entered.
The detector group text should preferably be programmed in order to save data points.
Additional requirements for number assignment must be observed in the case of D100 con-
nection see section “D100 Interfaces (Version 3.0 and later)” on page 28>.
4.1.2 Programming limitations at control and indicating panels
A maximum of 8 objects can be programmed for each control and indicating panel (255 ob-
jects per system).
Objects cannot be centrally programmed for multiple control and indicating panels.
The object numbers must not contain leading zeros.
Up to 89 areas can be programmed per object (up to Version 2.5: only 32 areas).
200 detector zones can be programmed per area.
With control and indicating panels with a software version lower than V3.1, a maximum of 256
outputs per MPC module
or SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel can be configured.
20 commands per operating input are possible (maximum 200 commands distributed over
100 inputs).
With regard to operating panel function keys, a maximum of 20 commands can be assigned
to one key.
A maximum of 60 commands can be configured per operating panel.
The number of individually identifiable event locations, detector zones and zones must not
exceed 1750 per SIGMASYS control and indicating panel.
A maximum of 2500 datapoints can be programmed per SIGMASYS control and indicating
panel. This includes the sum of individually identifiable event locations, detector zones, areas,
outputs and non-coded text.

4.2 Selecting the installation location
4.2.1 Fire protection system requirements
The fire alarm control and indicating panel or the operating device is to be installed in a room
adjacent to the main entrance, the surveillance area or an access that is always accessible by
the fire brigade in the event of a fire.
The control and indicating panel should be installed as close as possible to the fire brigade
operating panel.
The maximum cable length for the loop/spur peripherals should also be taken into account
when selecting the location of the control and indicating panel.
It may be advisable to install a number of SIGMASYS C control and indicating panels in the
case of large-scale objects.
The alarm system’s operator terminal should be permanently monitored by trained personnel.
If this is not possible for operational reasons, alarm and fault signals must be forwarded to a
responsible service (see DIN VDE 0833).

4.2.2 Control room requirements
The control and indicating panel is to be installed in a controlled environment.

Permitted ambient conditions:
Temperature range: 0 °C to +40 °C
Atmospheric humidity. <75 %, short-term 95 % without condensation
Protect the control and indicating panel from harmful environmental influences, such as direct
sunlight, operation-related vibrations, dust, etc.
Always ensure adequate heat dissipation before installing the control and indicating panel in a
recess or other enclosed space or under a cover.
Ensure that the room is adequately lit (DIN 14675).
Installation near heating elements or washbasins is prohibited.
We recommend laying a conductive floor covering (conductive PVC covering, conductive
needle felt covering) to protect the operating personnel against the unpleasant effects of sta-
tic charging.

4.3 SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel assignment
Figure 4: SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel assignment

The SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel is available in 2 versions:

SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel S24230-C500-A7
for SIGMASYS loop elements
SIGMASYS C Sinteso control and indicating panel S24230-C600-A10
for FDnet Sinteso elements
Since August 2005 both panels have been supplied with an integrated 150W power supply.
Options also available:

Operating panel or SIGMASYS C cover plate
As from SIGMAPLAN V5.1, the SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel can be operated
with or without an operating panel. This also depends on national guidelines.
The control and indicating panel comes with:

• installation template
• top-hat rail for option slot installation
• connection cable for batteries
• 2 cover panels for the upper and lower cable inlet
• battery for installation on the basic board.
SIGMASYS C option slot assignment

The control and indicating panel features eight option slots. The option slots 3 to 6 can be
used only, if the battery is installed externally.
The following can be installed in OS 1 to 6:
• 4STE control modules
• Multiple control facility with angle bracket
• PC board block for Euro cards, such as SIGMAPORT or VdS extinguishing interface
• 35 mm top-hat rail for relays, I/O Modules FDCIO222, Line separator FDCL221 or
SIGMALOOP splitter
• 15 mm top-hat rail for contact coupler or minitransponder
• DC/DC converter with angle bracket
If an S24230-F525-A2 operating panel is integrated in the SIGMASYS C, a SIGMANET P

coupler can be attached to this operating panel. The associated APL20 P can be connected
to option slot 7.
4.4 SIGMASYS M control and indicating panel assignment
Figure 5: SIGMASYS M control and indicating panel assignment
For exact details on where to install the APL20P, see the document
A24230-B60-A1-*-31

4.4.1 Assigning option slots in the SIGMASYS M
The control and indicating panel provides five option slots (OP1 to OP5).
• OP1 to OP3 are designed for equipment with 4 STE control modules (transponders) or
PC board blocks.
• A top hat rail is provided above the PSU as option slot 4 and can be equipped with a 24
V control relay, input/output modules / FDCIO222, FDCL221 line disconnector or
SIGMALOOP splitter.
• Another top hat rail is provided below the PSU as option slot 5 and can be equipped
with a 230 V AC control relay.

Warning: Only new MPC S24230-B103-A6 modules can be installed in the

SIGMASYS M S24230-C107-A6 control and indicating panel.
When assigning slots 1 to 6, make sure that the maximum power requirement of 1.4A for all
modules and peripheral elements is not exceeded, even in the event of an alarm.
The following table should help you to determine the maximum current:
Device / Module / Current draw Comment
Element Module
MPC 150 mA + load factor of all connected elements
FDC 70 mA + load factor of all connected elements
GMG 80 mA + load factor of all connected elements
PMG 35 mA + load factor of all connected elements
Load factor element 0.25 mA SIGMALOOP-PMG-GMG Sinteso elements
Table 8: Determining maximum current
A fully expanded FDnet loop with 280 load factors has a current draw of
around 70 mA.
4.4.3 Dual SOC
A second SOC module (central computer) takes over the task of the first SOC module com-
pletely in the event of a failure.
When installing systems under VdS guidelines with:
• central ÜE activation in SIGMANET
• SIGMASYS M control and indicating panels in SIGMANET
• control and indicating panels that control several extinguishing sectors
If several SIGMASYS C control and indicating panels are networked by SIGMANET and if central
ÜE actuation is required, the ÜE must be connected to a SIGMASYS M control and indicating
panel with Dual SOC.
Warning:
With Dual SOC operation, both modules must have at least S24230-A100-A3
release status.
Both modules must have the same firmware status.
4.4.4 SOC P module (since end 2006)
Since March 2007 the SIGMASYS M control and indicating panels and M cores have
been supplied without the SOC module.
The previous SOC module or the SOC P module can be installed as an option. (P stands for
performance)
The SOC P module has a much faster computer, more memory and faster interfaces than the
SOC module.
Control and indicating panels with the "SIGMANET P" SOC P module are networked using
the FN2001-D1 networking module, which must be ordered separately. In the case of Dual
SOC P operation, both SOC P modules must each be equipped with an FN2001-D1 network-
ing module.
The interfaces of the SOC P module are made available on the APL20 P, which must be or-
dered separately.
With Dual SOC P operation an additional crossover Ethernet cable, order number
A5Q00019146, is required. Only one APL20 P is needed for both SOC P modules.

Warning: SIGMANET P is not compatible with the standard SIGMANET.
SIGMANET P control and indicating panels are networked using 2-pole copper wire which
can be up to 1000 meters long. A SAFEDLINK repeater can be used to increase the range.
4.4.5 SIGMANET P coupler (from mid-2006)
SIGMASYS C control and indicating panels and SIGMANET operating panels can be con-
nected either to SIGMASYS M control and indicating panels with SOC P as a spur or to
SIGMANET P using a SIGMANET P coupler.
SIGMANET P couplers exist for:
• SIGMASYS C control and indicating panels S24230-B72-A1
for attaching to a SIGMASYS C operating panel (S24230-F515-A2)
• SIGMANET operating panels S24230-B71-A1

for attaching to the operating panel (S24230-F130-A4)
• SIGMASYS empty housing S24230-B73-A1
The couplers include all the modules and mechanical parts required for connection or installa-
tion, including the SIGMASYS SOC P module, FN2001-D1 networking module, SIGMASYS
APL 20 P.

5 Interfaces
5.2.4 Printer protocol converter
SIGMPLAN V2.6 supports a new printer type: “Printer DPU”. This printer operates as an IBM
Proprinter (not a laser printer) with 8 bits. The DR215 printer should be programmed in
SIGMAPLAN if the ECMA font is required. The DPU is connected at the TTY or V.24 interface
on the SIGMASYS C standalone control and indicating panel or at the V.24 interface on
SIGMANET control and indicating panels.
The GMA’s serial interface settings must be fixed at:
baud rate 4800, 7 bits, interface type: V.24 or TTY half duplex active.

5.3 GMA Manager (TOPSIS)
The GMA Manager can be connected at the V.24 interface of a control and indicating panel or
SOP-NET. It is not considered to be a ring element, but is treated as a control centre operat-
ing panel. IMT and BMT responsibilities (including mixed) are possible. The GMA Manager
cannot be used as a standby operating panel.
For more information, see:

GMA Manager coupling with SIGMASYS
A24205-A338-A990 in MIS 1.2-1
5.3.1 Spur operating panels (Version 3.0 and later)
The number of control and indicating panels which can be installed on SIGMANET as regards
the operating panels otherwise necessary but no longer required in SIGMANET is not af-
fected by the installation of spur operating panels, for example, in the SIGMASYS M or in the
SIGMASYS L cabinet.
In contrast to the operating panels in SIGMANET, spur operating panels are only operated
with one interface and therefore have no redundancy interface.
Spur operating panels must therefore be installed in VdS systems in the control and indicating
panel or in the immediate vicinity of the control and indicating panel (in the same room).
5 Interfaces
Spur operating panels can be connected to all V.24 interfaces in the SIGMASYS control and
indicating panel and operating panels.
Spur operating panels cannot be connected to spur alarm control and indicating panels.
The SIGMANET operating panel or the GMA operating panel can be connected as spur op-
erating panels. If possible, SIGMANET operating panels should always be connected to the
SIGMASYS standalone control and indicating panels with SIGMANET, for redundancy rea-
sons.
N.B.: A spur operating panel which has been programmed as a local operating
panel does not display faults with the connection.
5.3.2 D100 Interfaces (Version 3.0 and later)
In Version V3.0 and later, SIGMASYS control and indicating panels can be coupled with
D100 control and indicating panels without SIGMALINK. In this coupling form, the control mo-
dule in level 1 (K01) is the head of the system where all messages are accumulated. Connec-
tion to a D100 control module is via an available V.24 interface on SIGMASYS C, M, M mod-
ule or SIGMASYS operating panel.
A maximum of 99 units can operated using the D100 system. Control modules, as well as all
SIGMANET units and SIGMANET operating panels, even if they are being operated as spurs,
are included in this figure. GMA operating panels are not included.
A total of 8 SIGMANETs, each with 16 units, can be connected to an control module at level 1
(K01).
A total of 8 SIGMANETs, each with 8 units, can be connected to an control module at level
(e.g. K10 – K80).
A total of 8 SIGMANETs, each with 2 units, can be connected to an control module at level
(e.g. K11 – K88).
IMPORTANT!
If additional S modules are connected on the same level, this reduces the number of
possible SIGMANET connections by the number of connected S modules.
The number of units on a core on the second level may be reduced depending on the
number of objects. (see project planning instructions D100,
order number: A24205-A334-A846 each in their current versions).
ÜE and ÖA may not be operated by means of general system control.
Control must come from the source upwards to the K01.
VdS certified systems

Both SIGMASYS and D100 control and indicating panels must be installed in VdS certified
systems in the same cabinet or in the area adjacent to the cabinet (the same room). For best
results, install a S module and an M module in a D100 cabinet. To do this, a dual MAP is re-
quired for the control module and a dual SOC for the M module. A TTY/V.24 coupler at the
MAP’s TTY interface is used for the interface connection. A redundancy line is required for
alarm transceiver control between the control module and M module.
All SIGMANET units and SIGMANET operating panels in spur mode must be upgraded
to version V3.0 if they are to be coupled to D100.
N.B.: Object and zone number allocation is limited when using D100 coupling.

5 Interfaces
There are organisational and projected numbers for programming.

Organisational number: displayed on the operating panel and on the printer.
Projected number: required for internal processing and displayed on the printer.
The object number must have 3 digits and must be between 100 and 999. It is not possible to
assign a number twice (in SM88 and SIGMASYS). The projected number and the organisa-
tional number must be the same.
The organisational zone number must have 5 digits and is made up of the 3-digit object num-
ber and the 2-digit projected zone number.
The projected zone number must have 2 digits and must be between 01 and 99.
89 zones can be provided for each object.
Detector groups must always be entered with a projected number in the activation list for a
control module output (object/zone/detector group).

6.1 Event implementation
When an event is identified by a detector and its associated evaluation module, this normally
leads to an alarm being generated in the control and indicating panel.
Events are implemented by appropriate configuration with PLAN:
• on a signal, which is displayed on the control units in the signal list.
• on a fault, which is displayed on the control units in the fault list.
Events configured on signals or faults do not normally need resetting.
Warning: If an event is configured on a fault, it causes a general fault output on the
control and indicating panel.
6.2 Daytime/Nighttime
Nighttime is used to automatically disable the alarm organization and to activate/deactivate

control facilities using a timer.
In PLAN D100 under "Organization", "Set MG types" on the "Controls" tab of the detector
zone, you can choose whether the ÜE, AL, RAL, ST outputs should be controlled by day, by
night and also when the control and indicating panel is opened.
A separate nighttime can be assigned to each object and then affects all sectors and detector
zones of this object.
6.3 Alarm organization
The “alarm organisation” operating mode enables operators to find out the cause of an alarm
before the alarm transceiver for fire alarm signals is tripped.
Alarm organisation is manually activated with a button and automatically deactivated at a
freely programmable time (night time).
A separate prealarm and reconnaissance time can be set for every zone via SIGMAPLAN.
The reconnaissance time can be restarted for every zone.
The alarm transceiver is activated directly if an alarm from a different detector zone is tripped
in the same zone when the reconnaissance time is started.
Versions of the control and indicating panel up to V3.0 contain the following function:
If a second alarm is triggered in the same detector zone, the reconnaissance time already
started is retained.
Versions of the control and indicating panel later than V3.1 contain the following func-
tion:
If a second alarm is triggered in the same detector zone, the reconnaissance time is inter-
rupted and the routing equipment is actuated.

Figure 6: Alarm organization
6.4 Two-detector-zone dependency
Alerting facilities, alarm transceivers and fire protection facilities are tripped when two defined
detector zones switch to fire alarm mode. A pre-alarm is triggered when there is an alarm in
the first detctor zone.
6.5 Two-detector dependency
Alerting facilities, alarm transceivers and fire protection facilities are tripped when two detec-
tors in a detector zone switch to fire alarm mode. . A pre-alarm is triggered when there is an
alarm in the first detctor zone.
6.6 Alarm buffering
Threshold detectors:
The detector is reset after it detects an event. The detector signals the event if it recurs within
60 seconds.
Master 20 and the ABM module support alarm buffering.
SIGMASYS and Sinteso detectors do not support alarm buffering.
6.7 Event delay
Event delay for SIGMASYS and Sinteso detectors.

The detector only forwards events that were detected for at least the duration of the time pe-
riod programmed.
6.8 Virtual inputs and outputs
Virtual inputs and outputs can be used for signalling and for the automatic execution of oper-
ating commands.
6 Functions
In this case, a freely programmable output controls a programmable input without the need
for hardware
Restrictions:
Not for zone operating panel displays. The ANZ detector display or ANZ event display control
patterns are not available.
6.9 Changing ÜE assignment by command (from V3.2)
The operator can change the assignment of a control in a detector zone for starting a ÜE on
operating level 3. The command can be given in one detector zone or all detector zones of a
fire alarm system area.
The ÜE assignment commands are displayed in the "System changes" lists on the DT1000
operating panel or "Messages" in the SIGMASYS operating panel.
Warning:
The ÜE removal and ÜE assignment commands have the same effect on the day and night
configurations, i.e. the command produces the same control behavior both by day and by
night.
6.10 Switching detector algorithms by command (from V3.2)
To help improve the sensitivity of detectors to variable conditions within premises, in addition
to existing multiple alarm-related or detector zone-related options, you can change the
evaluation characteristics of detectors to suit your mode of operation.
In the configuration tool, in the 'Set detectors' window, you can now configure Algorithm 2 in
addition to Algorithm 1.
Switching between the 2 detector algorithms is done using 2 commands:
MD.ALGO1 to set Algorithm 1
MD.ALGO2 to set Algorithm 2
On operating level 2 the operator can use a command to switch between the two detector al-
gorithms for one fire alarm system detector zone or all detector zones in a fire alarm system
control area.
The operation can be assigned to function keys on the operating panel or to an operating in-
put.
The switchover to algorithm 2 is displayed either in the 'System changes' list of the DT1000
BF or the 'Messages' list of the SIGMASYS BF, depending on the system.
Warning: In order to display the switchover in the system lists, all operating panels
must have the new firmware V3.2. In a D100 system this includes, as well as the
SIGMASYS operating panels (apart from not relevant local operating panels), also all SM88
operating panels on the way to the root and the SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel
with control panel.

6 Functions
6.11 Time synchronisation
The time of the SIGMASYS control and indicating panels can be synchronised once a day
with the Time synchronisation” feature.
The synchronising pulse is derived from the main clock and transmitted via an operating input
to a contact coupler, minitransponder or transponder / 4STE.
Synchronisation only requires a single operating step in SIGMANET.
The date must be set manually when putting the GMA into service.
The synchronisation time is set to 4:00 and the pulse length to 3 seconds (minimum).
6.12 Variable SIGMALOOP cycle time
The response time of a zone operating panel used as a status indicator panel can be reduced
by setting the cycle time to 250 ms in a BMT loop/spur
Prerequisite:
Separate loop/spur for zone operating panel (no BMT detectors can be operated in this
loop/spur as these detectors operate with a 1-second cycle).
6.13 BMT/IMT mixed mode
Mixed mode means that the BMT and IMT branches can be operated simultaneously within a
SIGMASYS control and indicating panel. This is achieved by creating a BMT and an IMT de-
tector object. Branches can be mixed within an MPC module.
Only one branch can be selected within a monitored alarm line.
The standard outputs are activated as follows within a SIGMASYS control and indicating
panel in the case of IMT/BMT mixed mode

7.1 Local alarm (LA)
An alarm device can be operated for local alerting. The alarm device is installed on the sys-
tem’s connection board. Loads with an internal resistance of 200 to 1000 Ohm can be con-
nected. The maximum line resistance is 10% of the load resistance.
7.2 Alarm transceiver (AT)
An alarm receiver is used for alerting the responsible service (e.g. fire brigade, police) via a
dedicated line. The alarm transceiver is installed on the system's connection board.
The output is only activated on an object-specific basis. Loads with an internal resistance of
200 to 1000 Ohms can be connected. The maximum line resistance is 10% of the load resis-
tance.
The alarm transceiver and local alarm outputs can be freely programmed. 2 BMT ATs can be
activated as of Version 2.6. The control and operating panel delay time before acknowledge-
ment by AT can be set.
N.B.: The function of the fire brigade operating panel is always permanently
linked to the objects of the first AT. An object must not be assigned to more than one
alarm transceiver.
7.3 Key depot (KD)
The key depot (KD), previously fire brigade key safe (FSK), is installed on the system’s con-
nection board. External adapters are not required for the connection. The key depot is used
for housing keys to the building.
Only keys certified by the VdS may be used.
The key depot must be connected to the same control and indicating panel as the alarm
transceiver.
7.4 Fire brigade operating panel (FBF)
The fire brigade operating panel is an add-on unit for fire alarm control and indicating panels
and is used to display the operating status and for operation of the fire alarm system by the fi-
re brigade.
The FBF is connected to the system’s connection board without add-ons. Four input and four
outputs are available on the system’s connection board for fire brigade operation.
Inputs: General reset
AT disablement
Local alarm enablement/disablement
Activate/deactivate control in case of fire
Outputs: Alarm acknowledged/not acknowledged

AT disabled/faulty
Local alarm disabled/faulty

Deactivated control in case of fire
N.B.:
• The function of the fire brigade operating panel is always permanently linked to the ob-
jects of the first AT.
• The FBF must be connected to the same control and indicating panel as the alarm
transceiver.
• All detector groups which activate the AT must be powered by separate objects.
• Signals which do not trigger the AT should be located on separate objects.
If this system is not followed, the AT may not be actuated.
As long as an event from the object actuating the AT persists, the AT will not be actuated
again.

8.1 General
Standard inputs and outputs are provided in the basic configuration of SIGMASYS C and M
control and indicating panels for external displays (FBF, KD, external alarm). In addition, eight
free outputs are available on each module when using GMG-S and PMG-S modules.
The detection of signals via floating contacts (technical messages) or the execution of moni-
tored and non-monitored control facilities are generally performed via loop elements (e. g.
transponders). The cable network normally required for control facilities can thus be elimi-
nated.
Inputs and control facilities near the control and indicating panel can be implemented by addi-
tional components that are accommodated on the option slots of the SIGMASYS control and
indicating panel and the SIGMASYS empty housing.
The following relays can be used in the case of higher currents and voltages and for control-
ling lines with applied voltage:
Relay modules A5Q00001234 2 changeover contacts
Technical data
Control voltage 18 V … 30 V
Coil resistance 900 Ohm
Control current approx. 24 mA
Contact load
Two changeover contacts with maximum switching voltage 250 V AC, 220 V DC
Switched current in light-duty zone µA from 100 mA to 24 V
Minimum switched current 10 mA (with one charge over 100 mA)
Maximum switched current at 30 /110 / 220 V DC 8 A / 0.3 A / 0.12 A
Maximum breaking capacity 230 V AC 400 VA
Dimensions (H x W x D) in mm 84 x 16 x 70
Temperature range 0 … 60 °C
Installation on 35 mm top-hat rail
Table 19: Relay module - technical data
These relays are designed for installation on the 35 mm top-hat rails provided in the control
and indicating panels
The relay modules 9AR, 5AR and 5ARD cannot be used at transponders.
A transitory current limit must be set for appliances with a high transitory current such as elec-
tric light bulbs and flash lights. The maximum current of the relay in use must not be exceed.
8.2 Loop elements
8.2.1 Maxitransponder SPF 3500, 4STE control module
The function of the transponder is the same as that of the 4STE control module. The 4STE
control module consists of a transponder module and is intended for installation in
SIGMASYS control and indicating panels (1 option slot).
In SPF 3500, the transponder module is accommodated in an IP54 housing.

The transponder (4STE control module) is used for connecting:

4 x threshold monitored lines at SIGMALOOP or
4 x control facilities from SIGMALOOP.
The inputs and outputs are freely programmable.
The transponder needs 4 addresses on the loop and a 24 V voltage supply from the fire alarm
control and indicating panel or a fault-monitored external power supply unit.
A distribution voltage failure does not lead to a loop crash (or interruption).
Application:
• To connect special detectors, operating inputs and signals.
• Ex-line connection (see “Fire alarm signaling in explosion-hazard areas”A24205-A331-
A292)
• All detectors for threshold detector zones (MS 6/7, MS 9) and SIGMACON detectors
can be connected to SIGMALOOP via the transponder.
• For control facilities with adjustable current up to 126 mA per output for direct connec-
tion of loads or connection via disconnected relays.
• Programmable control pattern: static, flashing 1 s, dynamic.
If transponder outputs are programmed as control facilities, then these outputs are monitored
as monitored lines with a surveillance current of approx. 2 mA.
If an output is programmed with the “Control facility [VdS]” actuator type (as of Version 2.6),
then the output complies with the VdS 2489 guideline and is monitored for insidious wire
breakage and short circuits.
See Table 20: Technical data, voltage, current dimensions" on page 52 .

Every input and output can be programmed via SIGMAPLAN with an organisational address
and corresponding text assignment.
If the transponder is integrated in the SIGMASYS control and indicating panel or in the add-
on cabinet (4STE control module) and if power is supplied by the control and indicating pa-
nel’s PSU, then the transponder is considered to be a signal processing unit. As a result, up
to four threshold monitored lines can be connected with up to 32 automatic or 10 non-
automatic detectors each. According to the guidelines (see 1.1), a maximum of 128 fire detec-
tors are allowed in SIGMALOOP.
If an external, fused power supply unit is used, a transponder input is required for the PSU
fault signals.
A total of 96 automatic or 30 non-automatic detectors can thus be operated on the 3 remain-
ing inputs.
If the power supply unit is not fused, a maximum of 32 automatic or 10 non-automatic detec-
tors may be connected for each transponder.
Powered inputs and outputs are signalled as a fault in the event of power failure.
The transponder SPF 3500 occupies four address on the loop.
Note:
“Threshold monitored line” - A separate detector zone must be created for
each monitored line (a detector zone must not
be assigned to multiple threshold monitored
lines)
„Contact, gen. (monitored)” - To connect contacts that are to be monitored

- Multiple contacts can be combined in a detector
zone
- Mandatory-reset contacts may not be connected
“Contact, gen. (non-monitored)” - To connect contacts that are not to be monitored
- Otherwise, as for “Contact, gen.(monitored)”
In the case of VdS systems, when connecting a threshold monitored line, the last detector
with an "S24218-G44-A1 line termination" must be closed. Normal closed (NC) contacts can-
not be connected when monitored.
8.2.2 Input/output module FDCIO222 (FDCI222)
The FDCI222 input module has 4 inputs.

The FDCIO222 input/output module also has 4 potential-free outputs.
Since the inputs are not monitored for creeping wire breakage and short-circuit, in systems
based on the VdS standard the module must be attached immediately next to the contact be-
ing monitored.
Overview of configurable and switchable inputs.

NCC Operating input
Switch (button)

IMPORTANT!
The contact (switch or button) must be depressed for at least 5 seconds, while the
alarm (operating input) is sent to the control and indicating panel.
The 3k01 line termination always lies parallel to the contact on all connections 1-4. On con-
nections 3 and 4 a resistance of 1k15 is also applied in series to a connector cable.
The 4 outputs on the FDCIO222 are potential-free contacts, which can be configured as NCC
or NOC.
In addition, you can also configure how the output should behave in the event of an FDnet
fault: unchanged, inactive or active "fail save position".
Like all Sinteso elements, the FDCIO222 and FDCI222 do not require an external supply
voltage.
Monitored actuation can be implemented with the FDCIO222. This requires an A5Q00001243
all-or-nothing relay and an external supply voltage. One input is required for fault monitoring
of the actuation.
The output is configured as the "control with monitored input" connection type and the asso-
ciated input as "fault monitoring."
A resistance of 3k015 must be used for FDCIO222 up to ES30.
For FDCIO222 from ES31 a resistance of 4k16 must be used.
Warning: If a monitored control line meeting VdS standards is required, which

must recognize creeping wire breakage and short-circuits, this connection must not
be used.
8.2.3 Fdnet Transponder FDCIO223 (from mid-2006)
The FDnet FDCIO223 transponder has the same mechanical dimensions as the FDCIO222.
The FDnet transponder can be installed on a top hat rail or on a flat surface or in the
FDCH291 or FDCH292 housing.
The FDnet transponder has two in-/outputs which can be configured as desired.
The FDnet transponder is operated on the FDnet and occupies one address.
The FDnet transponder requires a 24V DC (18-32V) power supply, which must be protected
with a maximum 2A fuse.
General features:
• Operation on FDnet
• Maximum two collective monitored lines (= threshold monitored line)
- Detector with voltage limit on alarm event
- Detector with alarm resistance (e.g. Synova 300)
• Operation with SB 3 safety barrier (ex-zone 1). Applies to detectors with voltage limit
on alarm event

terminator resistance of 3k3 at the end of the cable.
The maximum control line resistance is 10% of the equipment resistance, up to a maximum of
150 ohms.

ber 009122
8.2.4 Contact coupler SPF 5300
The contact coupler SPF 5300 is a multiple input module and is used for recording up to four
items of information or commands via floating, monitored contacts. The inputs can be seized
with contacts, e.g. from announcement systems, sprinkler systems, technical alarms, techni-
cal faults, third-party systems, key-operated switches.
The contact coupler cannot be used for automatic detectors which are powered via
the primary line.
The advantage of this element is that power is supplied to the element from the loop so that
no external PSU is required. This can significantly reduce the cost of installation. Voltage
supply is not available for contacts with LED
Every input can be separately addressed, including as a detector zone.
UP to 128 contact coupler modules may be connected to one SIGMALOOP. The contact
coupler module occupies one address in the SIGMALOOP. Contact types of the contacts to
be connected: Gold, Reed or equivalent.
Elements fed by the MPL may not be connected.
The inputs are to be programmed in strict consecutive order starting with input 1.
Line connection
The contact coupler module can connect four lines.
The maximum length of all contact lines is 40 metres.
The following data applies:

Fault, short circuit, wire breakage: <300 Ohm; >4.3 kΩ
Alarm: Alarm resistance 560 Ω – 680 Ω
Idle: Termination with 3.3 kΩ (normal open NO)
The signal must last for at least 1.4 to 4.2 seconds for it to be displayed. See “Cycle times for
signals”.
Installation
The contact coupler SPF 5300 can be installed on a 15 mm top-hat rail in the space provided
for option equipment in the control and indicating panel or in a distribution cabinet (AP…).
8.2.5 SIGMASPACE gateway
The gateway radio is a loop element which can administer up to 30 radio components inside
a radio cell (spatial area). From the perspective of SIGMALOOP, the gateway is the same as
a transponder that occupies a separate address for itself and each radio component.
Concept
• similar to transponder
• occupies a variable number of address elements depending on the number of radio
components used: up to 31, the gateway occupies a loop address. Max. number on
loop see chapter Load factors" on page 84.
There are two radio gateways for connecting radio detectors to SIGMASYS control and indi-
cating panels.
• SPU6102 gateway in the housing
• SPU6100 gateway as intermediate ring for SIGMASYS detector base SPF 3600.
The radio gateways connect the radio detector DOW 1171 to SIGMALOOP.
The SIGMASPACE hybrid system documentation in the standard collection are to be used for
project planning, “Project planning a radio cell”, A24205-A337-A910.
8.2.6 Zone operating panel SPF 3300
The SIGMASYS zone operating panel is an operating and display element for all SIGMASYS
control and indicating panels. It requires an address as an element for the SIGMALOOP
transmission procedure.
57 texts with 16 characters each can be assigned and are freely programmable.
The first event is displayed. The others can be viewed by scrolling.
Events can only be sent by the MPC to which the zone operating panel is connected. An
event can only be assigned to one zone operating panel.
Technical signals are displayed as alarms. Detector numbers are not displayed.
The detector type is displayed in line 1 depending on the priority:
• Alarm
• Fault
• Disablement

A freely programmable 16-character text is displayed in the second line.

A key-operated switch is available to enable operation by authorised persons. Four free keys
can be used and individually programmed as operating inputs.
Eight zone operating panels can be installed per MPC module.
32 zone operating panels can be installed per SIGMASYS M control and indicating panel.
8.3 Outputs

8.3.5 SIGMALOOP Splitter (V2.6)
Functionalities and Restrictions:

• To increase the number of spur line terminals in SIGMALOOP technology with fire de-
tectors.
• The “primary” spur line is split into up to four outgoing “secondary” spurs.
• The SIGMALOOP splitter is not assigned an address on the SIGMA spur.

system housing adjacent to the control and operating panel.
There is room for five SIGMALOOP Splitters on a 110mm top-hat rail.
This configuration can be installed in option slot 2 in the SIGMASYS C control and operating
panel. For all other control and operating panels, it can be installed in a free option slot.
Figure 7: Physical connection
The outgoing spurs must be clamped in consecutive order (without gaps), starting with the
first terminal pair. Thus, the terminal pair must first be assigned for spur 1, then spur 2 and so
on. At least one element must be connected to the spur in use. Spurs not in use (3, 4 or 5)
remain unassigned.

9.1 Extinguishing control module
General:
One extinguishing zone can be activated per line module in SIGMASYS M.
Only one extinguishing zone can be activated per control and indicating panel in SIGMASYS
C.
N.B.: a second SOC module must be installed if SIGMASYS M features multiple

extinguishing zones.
Please observe the VdS 2496 guideline with regard to extinguishing system activation.
As of Version 2.6
VdS permits up to eight extinguishing zones per loop. The prerequisite for this, however, is
that the connection module is redundant.
A dual MPC is required to operate more than six extinguishing zones with a single
SIGMASYS M.
Thus, up to 8 x 4 = 32 extinguishing zones can be activated at an MPC module with dual
MPC.
A maximum of 64 extinguishing zones per SIGMASYS M is permitted in the case of two dual
MPCs.
Example of a configuration with dual MPC (MPC2).
Switchover in the Switchover in the

event of fault event of fault
Figure 8: Dual MPC
MPC (master) and MPC2 (slave) only differ when programmed via SIGMAPLAN.
The slave MPC must always be installed on the right of the master MPC. The U-APL module
(S24230-A133-A1) is installed at the connection slot of the slave MPC. The lines are con-
nected at an APL20 on the slot of the master MPC. The modules are connected via the flat
cable provided.
In the event of a fault, the slave MPC connected on the right of an MPC completely takes
over the function of the defective master MPC after re-initialisation.

The alarm lines are switched to the slave MPC with the U-APL module (16 changeover con-
tacts) of the master MPC.
MPC2 cannot be installed at slot 6 of the SIGMASYS M control and indicating panel. The
standard cables supplied are too short. Slot 6 can be used in the M module in SIGMASYS M.
The following should be noted with Dual FDC FDnet connection

(Version 3.3 or above):
Only pure loops without T-tapping may be connected with a maximum of 63 elements.
Both modules must be available in release S24230-A103-A5 at least for dual MPC
operation.
9.1.1 Gas extinguishing systems
Control extinguishing command:

Smoke and flame detectors are to be connected in two-detector or two-zone dependency.
Two-zone dependency is preferable. Heat detectors can be connected in two-detector or two-
zone dependency.
Fire detector elements, such as fusible-link detectors, thermal isolators, immersion-type ther-
mostats do not need to be combined in two-detector or two-zone dependency.
To prevent inadvertent tripping, the control facility must be performed in conjunction with the
general alarm.
In the case of multi-zone extinguishing systems with only one message (“Fault, extinguishing
system”) for all extinguishing zones, the control pattern “ST (alarm/message)” is to be set for
the actuator type “Control (VdS)” and a monitoring current of 0 mA is to be set for controlling
the extinguishing zone.
The message “Fault, extinguishing system” must be programmed as a message with the ap-
propriate text LB1 to LBx.
9.1.2 Preaction sprinkler extinguishing control module
With standard extinguishing interface (SST).

Activation of preaction sprinkler systems via SIGMASYS systems.
Alarm valve activation:
The systems are preferably to be activated by addressing an automatic detector in the fire
alarm control and indicating panel. The fire detectors can be linked in two-detector or two-
zone dependency in order to avoid inadvertent tripping.
Activation criteria of the reversing electromagnetic valve:
• Fault on the tripping detector zone
• Disablement of the tripping detector zone
• Partial fault on the monitored line relating to the extinguishing command
• Fault on the monitored control line of the tripping command
• Disablement of the monitored control line of the tripping command
• Fault in one of the extinguishing zones relating to central processing nodes in the fire
alarm control and indicating panel
• The reversing electromagnetic valve is also activated in the event of an alarm

• The control facilities described above must not be driven by the door contact
• Control via fault in the power supply unit of the fire alarm control and indicating panel.
Controlling the reversing electromagnetic valve:
Control via SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface.
All detector zones that control asprinkler system must be assigned adetector type with
the following properties:
Check “ST even when door open” under “Set detector zone type” and “Control”
9.1.3 SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface
The SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface consists of several SPF5200 control modules and
two SPF5300 contact couplers as well as a special regenerative coupling unit to avoid inad-
vertent tripping and LOOP monitoring on a module which can be installed in the “32-pole
plug-in card block”.It can b eused as the VdS extinguishing interface for all extinguishing func-
tions (water, gas, powder and foam)
Extinguishing control outputs Inputs = messages from extinguishing control
- Extinguishing command - Fault signal
- Prealarm or revering electromagnetic - Tripping in extinguishing zone
valve - Activated emergency stop key
- 4 freely programmable outputs for acti- - Automatic extinguishing zone tripping disabled
vating the relays - Extinguishing zone mechanically blocked
- Loss of extinguishing agent
Reseve battery activated
Table 22: SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface-overview of the features
The SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface can be installed in SIGMASYS C, M, L and D100

control and indicating panels with M modules as VdS interfaces.
The SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface requires three address on SIGMALOOP.
In the X100 extinguishing control the SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface is directly installed
as a VdS extinguishing interface.
Advantages:
Only SIGMALOOP needs to be connected to extinguishing control. All activations and ac-
knowledgements take place via this SIGMALOOP.
The SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface can be implemented universally because all inputs
and outputs can be freely programmed.
7 outputs are provided for activating relays and can be set using a bridge circuit.
8 inputs can be used, as described for the contact coupler.
N.B.: The lines required for the inputs (e.g. fault signal, extinguishing zone)
must not be exceed 40 m in length.
The SIGMALOOP extinguishing interface requires a distribution voltage of 19 to 29 V in ac-

cordance with EN 54-4.

9.1.4 FDnet extinguishing interface
The FDnet extinguishing interface comprises the following modules:

one FDCIO224 A5Q00018689
one All-or-nothing relay A5Q00001243
one SMxx extinguishing interface S24230-A353-A1
one PC board block 32-pin V24068-Z7102-A1
The all-or-nothing relay and the FDCIO224 are mounted on one top hat rail.
The SMxx extinguishing interface can be plugged in directly to the X100 basic module.
For the actuation of other extinguishing control modules, the SMxx extinguishing interface is
plugged into the 32-pin PC board block.
9.2 Close-and-retain systems (FSA)
Device for closing fire protection traps (doors, openings for conveyors) in a fire section.
Under normal circumstances, the fire section doors are held open by the FSA. In the event of
an alarm or a detector fault in the relevant fire section, the doors are automatically closed by
the FSA. The locking device is a GMA element with its own power supply unit. It is activated
by the GMA. It must be ensured that the locking device operates even if the detectors as-
signed to the fire section fail in order to protect the fire section. Possible faults are, for exam-
ple, a failure or deactivation of the MPL, failure of the control and indicating panel, mains
power failure, etc.
In accordance with DIBt (German institute for structural engineering), detectors should be
provided for and specially dedicated to FSA. Subject to approval, the smoke detectors may
control the FSA.
For the FSA control, a control output is programmed with SIGMAPLAN at the next
SIGMALOOP- or Sinteso detector output. This is connected via the control module SPF 5100.
The detector output is activated if the associated detector zone(s) is(are) idle.
The control output is reset in the case of:
alarm
fault detector
fault detector zone
fault loop
disablement detector zone
inspection (as long as the detector is in inspection alarm)

10.1 Description of control pattern
General:
All control facilities in the system can be configured, apart from the FSA control pattern, fire
sector control facility, detector diagram and event diagram.
This means that in control and indicating panels networked using SIGMANET signals from
different control and indicating panels, an output can be set in any control and indicating
panel.
In PLAN D100 under "Organization", "Set MG types" on the "Controls" tab of the detector
zone, you can choose whether the ÜE, AL, RAL, ST outputs should be controlled by day, by
night and also when the control and indicating panel is opened.
You can specify whether a control facility can be disabled using the fire brigade operating
panel "Disable fire control" key for each control pattern in the configuration under "Control
properties", "Reset".
Control facilities ST, ALA, RAL can be monitored for faults and/or actuation.
Monitored control facilities

The SIGMASYS transponder outputs (4 STE control module) are monitored with a monitoring
current when configured as a control facility depending on the actuator type. With these out-
puts control facilities up to 125mA can be directly monitored and controlled.
For monitored control facilities with transponder or 4STE control module >125mA and with
monitored control facilities with FDCIO222 input/output module, a relay with two change-over
contacts (all-or-nothing relay A5Q00001243) is required.
In this case the control facility is monitored via a monitored input on the transponder or in-
put/output module.
Monitoring the control facility for actuation

Monitoring for actuation or non-actuation is done using a feedback contact on the controlled
device on any assigned input of the control facility (FDnet, SIGMALOOP/spur).
The monitoring period can be set at between 0.25s and 5 minutes.
10.1.1 AL/LA – Alerting facilities
An alerting facility is used to acoustically signal a fire alarm in order to alert the emergency
service (works fire brigade).
If an alerting facility is activated, it can be deactivated and, if necessary, re-activated with the
operating panel button “LA on/off”.
If the alerting facility on the operating panel is deactivated and another alarm associated with
this alerting device is tripped, then the alerting facility is activated once again (re-triggerable).
Press the FBF (fire brigade operating panel) button “Acoust. signals off” once to deactivate all
alerting facilities: alerting facilities will not be tripped by another alarm. Press this button again
to reactivate all alarm-tripping alerting facilities.
The source (e. g. detector objects, alarm zones or detector zones) that tripped an alerting fa-
cility (AL) can be established for every facility. Operators can also choose from a number of
different control patterns. It is thus possible to vary the signalling criteria (alarm, prewarning,
prealarm, signal).

It is possible to parameterise whether the alerting facility is to be tripped when the door is
open in the control and indicating panel that detected the alarm (detector zone type).
The activation list of an alarm should only contain objects that enable the "local alarm on/off"
operation to be performed from the operating panel or fire brigade operating panel.
10.1.2 EV – Evacuation alarm (internal alarm)
The evacuation alarm is used to evacuate endangered parts of buildings.

Evacuation alarm type actuators cannot be deactivated or activated with the operating panel
button “LA on/off”. The function of the “Acoust. signals off” button on the fire brigade operat-
ing panel is the same as in the alerting facility.
The evacuation alarm can be activated or reset by command at any time.
The commands “EV on” and “EV off” activate and deactivate the evacuation alarm as long as
the activating alarm is available.
The operator can select which sources can activate the evacuation alarm (detector objects
and detector zones). The tripping criteria are alarm.
In the detector zone types, the operator can select whether the evacuation alarm should be
tripped when the door is open in the control and indicating panel that detected the alarm.
The significance of the evacuation alarm is reduced by the fact that the alerting facility is also
used in the meantime for evacuation purposes. It is required in certain Federal states where
the applicable building and construction law requires that acoustic evacuation alarm should
only be deactivated by authorised personnel (i. e. not via a button or in command level 2).
10.1.3 Control facility (ST)
The actuators in the control facility category are used for activating and deactivating control
equipment in response to certain signals
The source (e. g. detector objects, alarm zones, detector zones, detectors or actuator states)
that tripped the control facility can be established for every facility. Operators can also choose
from a number of different control patterns. It is thus possible to vary the signalling criteria
(alarm, prewarning, prealarm, signal) and the activation form (static, flashing or dynamic).
A control facility can also be enabled and disabled or activated and reset via a command at
the operating panel.
A control facility can be monitored for tripping or fault (monitored control facility).
In the detector zone types, the operator can select whether the control facility should be trip-
ped when the door is open in the control and indicating panel that detected the alarm.
10.1.4 Monitored control lines according to VdS via transponder SPF 3500
Only possible with firmware Version ≥ 2.6.

The monitoring current of the monitored control line must be aligned with the load resistance
in order to be able to guarantee the measuring accuracy of the various loads.
Same applies for the monitoring input of control facilities with monitoring input.
The setting is made in SIGMAPLAN when parameterising the control facility and the monitor-
ing input.

Table 24: Monitored control lines
The maximum line resistance must not exceed 10 % of the load resistance.
10.1.5 Display (ANZ)
The actuators in the Display category serve as indicators for the status of detectors, detector
zones or outputs
Display is mainly used for programming detector outputs when connecting detector shunt dis-
plays and for the indicator panel control facility SPF 3200.
The source (e. g. detector objects, alarm zones, detector zones, detectors or actuator statu-
ses) that tripped a display can be established for every facility. Operators can also choose
from a number of different control patterns. It is thus possible to vary the signalling criteria
(alarm, prewarning, prealarm, fault, signal) and the activation form (static, flashing or dy-
namic).
Displays cannot be activated by command. Displays cannot be tripped in operating panel
lists.
10.1.6 Close-and-retain system (FSA) control facility and fire section control facility
FSA
The FSA control facility is an inverse-operated output that is released in the event of a fault. It
is released in the event of an alarm, signal, fault, inspection, disablement of the activating de-
tector. It is also command-driven. The close-and-retain equipment is connected via the con-
trol module SPF 5100 to a detector output of a SIGMASYS detector.
The control module requires and external power supply unit.
Fire section control facility

Tripped in the event of an alarm (including an initial alarm), signal, fault, prealarm, source di-
sablement, output disablement. It is manually activated.
10.1.7 Detector display and event display control pattern
Actuators of this type can only be tripped by sources that are connected to the same module.

• Detector display Indicates the status of the detector

• Event display Indicates the event status of the detector.
Only goes out when reset.
512 control facilities can be programmed with detector display or event display control pat-
terns for every MPC module or SIGMASYS C. The control facility can only be tripped within
an MPC module or SIGMASYS C. These control facilities are not displayed on the
SIGMASYS operating panel or printer.
In the case of these control facilities, the detector is assigned a controlling actuator.
A detector can only activate one output with the detector display or event display con-
trol pattern.
The control pattern ANZ should be used to activate multiple outputs from an event point.
10.2 Freely configurable control parameters from V3.2
Instead of selecting one of the predefined control patterns, you can define your own control
behavior for the output. This is done by breaking down the existing control patterns and ac-
tuation criteria [AK], control facility reset criteria [SR] and signal forms [SF] and configuring
them to your own specifications.
Descriptions on how to configure the control patterns can be found in the PLAN D100 online
help.

11 Power supply
11.1 Mains supply
A separate electric circuit with individual, specially identified fuses must be used for the power
supply from the electrical mains.
The control and indicating panel is to be connected to a mains distribution cabinet via a con-
2
ductor cross section of at least 3 x 1.5 mm (NYM-J). A fuse (max. 16 A) is to be connected in
series in the distribution cabinet.
The fire alarm system can be operated at the following supply voltages:
Supply voltage I max. 150W SV Supply frequency
230 V +10 –15 % 1,2 A 50 / 60 Hz
Table 25: Mains supply
11.2 Earthing
SIGMASYS control and indicating panels have a “function and protection earth” (FPE) (VDE
2
0800, Part 2, Paragraph 6). A cross section of at least 6 mm is to be used.
To avoid interference, the earth is to be placed at the buildings main earthing bus.
The H07V-K fine-strand wires should preferably be used
11.3 Power supply
VDE 0833 and VdS 2095 guidelines stipulate the need for two independent power sources for
supplying power to fire alarm systems. This is achieved by using the AC network as the po-
wer supply unit and batteries as the secondary power supply unit. The batteries are always
kept fully charged by the power supply unit (standby parallel mode).
A 24 V/150 W power supply unit V24230-Z6-A2 is installed in SIGMASYS C and
SIGMASYS M.
11.4 Battery
Two 12V/25Ah batteries connected in series can be used in the SIGMASYS C control and in-
dicating panel. The SIGMASYS battery cabinet can be used for larger batteries.
Batteries cannot be placed in the SIGMASYS M control and indicating panel.

A separate battery cabinet is provided for the batteries and each one takes 2 x 12 V 65 Ah
batteries.
If the batteries are not installed inside the control and indicating panel, they can be connected
via a battery connection line to the control and indicating panel. The conductor cross section
can be calculated using the following formula. A separate fuse (C24104-Z18-C277) is to be
inserted and mounted in the battery cabinet for every connecting line.
The power supply unit’s temperature probe must be installed with the batteries.
Cross section calculated on the basis of q = I max * L / χ * Δu = I max * L / 29

I max = maximum current in A

Δu = maximum permitted voltage drop of 0,5 V
χ = special electric conductance for copper 58 m / mm2 Ω
L = line length (forward and reverse line) in m
q = conductor cross section in mm2
2
Cross sections over 2.5 mm must be reduced with the help of series terminals in
the SIGMASYS control and indicating panel.
11.5 Current requirement calculation
The maximum current requirement for the control and indicating panel is to be calculated us-
ing the form When calculating the alarm current, only the largest fire section should be taken
into account (largest current requirement of the system), i. e. when tripping the fire section
with the monitored alarm lines and the monitored control lines (max. value during simultane-
ous activation is decisive).
To calculate the power requirement for the Sinteso detector periphery you can also use the
Excel tables in the PSP (Product Support Platform). https://psp.sbt.siemens.com
11.6 Measuring the battery capacity
The size of the battery capacity is determined on the basis of the system’s idle current and
the required bridging time. The battery bridging times are defined as follows in compliance
with VDE 0833 or VdS 2095:
Bridging time VDE 0833 / VdS 2095

If a standby power supply is available for the GMA and spare parts are provided and 4 hours
mains supply failure is detected at any time (responsible service permanently busy)
and the maintenance technician is permanently available.
If the fault is detected at any time (responsible service permanently busy) and the 30 hours.
maintenance technician is available within 24 hours.
If the conditions set for 4-hour and 30-hour operating time are not satisfied. 72 hours.
Table 26: Bridging time
On the basis of the control and indicating panel’s and the external device’s alarm current in
the event of an alarm. The alarm current for the alerting facility of the fire section with the
highest current requirements must be available for 0.5 hours (see VdS 2095).
The battery capacity (K) depends on the bridging time (tü) required and is calculated using
the following formula:
Bridging time tÜ = 4 h K = 1.56 * (tÜ ·* IR + 0.5 * IAL) [Ah] and
Bridging time tÜ ≥ 30 h K = 1.25 * (tÜ ·* IR + 0.5 * IAL) [Ah]
IR = idle current or recharging current
IAL = alarm current
The formulae are marked on the calculation form.
11 Power supply
To increase capacity levels, a maximum of two battery sets can be connected in

parallel.
The parallel-connected battery sets must be from the same series and have the same date of
manufacture.
The batteries must not be installed in different cabinets with different interior temperatures
(e.g. 1 set in the SIGMASYS C control and indicating panel and 1 set in the battery cabinet).
To be covered by the power supply unit installed:
a) the calculated power supply
The power supplied by the electrical mains must guarantee unlimited operation by the sys-
tem. It must also be able to supply the recharging current for the batteries during normal
system operation.
b) the battery recharging current
The charging unit must be set in such a way that the final voltage of the discharged battery
can recharge in max. 24 hours to 80% of its nominal capacity. The charging operation must
be concluded within 72 hours at the latest.
The recharging current lW is calculated using the formula:
IW= KN / 24 [A]
KN= nominal capacity of the selected battery
Note:
The total of the current requirement values calculated and the value of the recharging current
must notexceed the maximum current supplied by the power supply unit. Otherwise, two
power supply unitsmust be used.
11.7 Power supply unit for the peripheral transponder/indicator panel
To avoid interference from the peripherals (line network), a separate mains supply and batter-
ies should be provided to power the peripherals.
The line network must be specially calculated for the power supply to the peripherals (trans-
ponder/ indicator panel).
Wires 3 and 4 in the existing 2 x 2 x 0.8 cable can be used for short distances and low cur-
rents.
N.B.: observe the voltage at the terminals in the loop/spur ( see section
“Monitored lines” on page 77). Minimum control and indicating panel voltage is 22 V.
(Transponder: the minimum 21 V voltage leads to a voltage drop dU = 1 V.)
(Indicator panel: the minimum 18 V voltage leads to a voltage drop dU = 4 V.)

11.7.1 SIGMASYS empty housing
The SIGMASYS empty housing of the SIGMASYS control and indicating panel can be used
for connecting multiple threshold monitored alarm lines via a transponder or for connecting
other loads with battery support.
The SIGMASYS empty housing can be fitted with a 150 Watt power supply unit.
Two 24 Ah batteries can be installed in the SIGMASYS empty housing.
The terminal blocks with 9 and 10 pins must be ordered seperately.

Threshold detector technology

Threshold detectors can be connected via transponders to SIGMASYS monitored alarm lines.
If automatic threshold detectors which receive their power from the monitored alarm line are
connected to the transponder, a “line termination for transponder and 4 STE control module”
S24218-C44-A10 is to be connected at the last detector instead of the moving load.
As of Version 2.6, threshold detectors can be connected directly to the GMG-S module in
SIGMASYS M/L control and indicating panels.

12.3 SIGMASYS monitored line
12.3.1 Spur
Up to 64 address can be assigned for connected detectors and devices (transponders, indica-
tor panel, zone operating panel) as a spur on a SIGMASYS monitored line.
According to the guidelines (VdS 2095), however, there should only be max. 32 auto-
matic detectors in a detector zone (fire section) or 10 non-automatic fire detectors connected
to a spur.
12.3.2 Loop
A loop is created by joining two monitored lines (spurs), 1 with 5, 2 with 6, 3 with 7 and
4 with 8.
The element sequence is always counted from the lowest to the highest monitored line. Up to
128 SIGMASYS elements can be connected to a loop. Advantages of a loop compared to a
spur:
• Protection against failures. All elements continue to work even in the event of a failure,
e. g. wire breakage.
• Connection of control facilities system-wide.
•

A monitoring surface of up to 6000 m .
12.3.3 SIGMALOOP detector algorithm
The sensitivity of SIGMAPLUS smoke detectors can be set as follows in SIGMASYS C, M,

and L control and operating panels and M modules in V3.1 and later by means of parameteri-
zation with PLAN D100 V5.1.

12.4 Line lengths in the loop/spur
Shielded installation cables, e. g. IY(ST)Y are to be used as lines for the loop.
The maximum wire diameter that can be clamped in the standard detector base is 0.8 mm.
The maximum line length depends on:
• the number of detectors and the cable type
• the maximum line resistance including the resistance of the connected elements (R
max. = 200 Ω)
• the maximum line capacity including all connected capacities (C max. = 200 nF).

NYM 1,5 mm² 25 Ohm 250 nF
Loop element 0,8 Ohm -
Table 29: Line parameter
Element capacity is very low with regard to the line capacity and therefore not relevant.
The combo detector SDF3500 counts as two address elements in the per-detector line length
calculation.
Figure 17 shows the relationships for a 0.8 diameter line. The spur line is a real subset of the
loop line, i.e. up to 64 address elements can be operated on a 2 km line both in the loop and
on the spur. A large number of address elements can only be operated in the loop, the maxi-
mum possible line length drops to approx. 11 m⁄element.
Figure 15: Address element number and line lengths for a 0.8 diameter line
Behaviour is similar in the case of a 0.6 diameter line. The maximum line length here is 1.540
m in the case of zero elements. The maximum possible line length per element drops by ap-
m
prox. 6 ⁄element and measures 1.150 m in length with 64 address elements (spur/loop) and 750
in the case of a fully configured loop (128 address elements).

The sheath wire of the cable shield is to be laid at the clamps provided in the detectors and
devices. The cable is earthed at the corresponding clamps in the SIGMASYS control and in-
dicating panels. The unshielded wires and the sheath wire should be as short as possible to
avoid interference.
According to VdS 2095, the loop cable must be laid out as a real ring if the detector zone con-
tains more than 32 automatic or more than 10 non-automatic detectors, or if automatic and
non-automatic detectors are mixed. In other words, forward and reverse lines must be laid in
separate cables and separate lines.
A cable may only contain SIGMASYS monitored lines from a single

MPC module.
12.5 Load factors
Maximum current load in SIGMALOOP

The maximum number of loop elements which can be connected also depends on current
consumption levels. A load factor is also specified for each element
• Each SIGMALOOP BMT detector, including combined detector, transponder, indicator
panel module contact coupler or control module has a load factor of 1.
• The detector gateway has a load factor of 8 and there is an additional load factor of 0.5
for every detector
• Every activated detector output (detector parallel display or FSA) and every activated
detector display has a load factor of 1.
Maximum load factor:

12.6 FDnet – connecting SintesoTM elements
• Fault-protected FDnet - thus allowing the use of unshielded cables.

• No additional power supply required for hooters and input/output modules.
The power for all elements is supplied by the FDnet and is protected against failure by
short-circuit disconnectors in the elements.
• Simple migration of existing systems using T-taps in the FDnet.
• Selectable detection behavior using application-specific sets of parameters with S-LINE
detectors.
• Customized detector settings using customer-specific sets of parameters with S-LINE
detectors.
• The alarm organization and alarm delay and fault delay functions are adjustable as with
SIGMASYS detectors.
12.6.1 Detector network:
• 126 address elements per FDnet (detection loop) can be connected

• All types of cable can be used
• Wires with a diameter of 0.28 mm2 to 1.5 mm2 can be clamped
• The detector network can be laid out in any form: ring, spur, ring with T-taps
It is recommended that you use:

• Shielded fire alarm cable, e.g. IY (ST) Y at least 0.6 mmØ.
• Unshielded twisted pair cable.
In the case of low interference environments, unshielded non-twisted pair cable such as NYM
can also be used. Here the maximum line capacity (500 nF) must be adhered to.
12 Monitored lines
Figure 17: FDnet overview
Loop planning
Note the following if there are several FDC modules:

For improved safety, FDnet loops that are as independent of one another as possible should
be applied to different modules.
The loops should also be distributed over different modules when using alarm sounders
and signal bases as evacuation alarms on the loops, in order to improve the safety of the
acoustic alarm.
Examples:
• In buildings with several storeys, apply the loop of one storey to one FDC module and
the LOOP of the next storey to another FDC module.
• In the case of large buildings with multiple loops, distribute these alternately over two
different FDC modules.

Nothing needs to be mechanically adjusted on the detectors themselves. The detectors are
supplied ex works with the appropriate sets of parameters. The PLAN D100 configuration tool
can be used to adjust the detectors optimally to the conditions of the installation site. By se-
lecting the right parameters you can set the detector to specific potential fire events and likely
environmental influences.
For the FDOOT241-9 neural fire detector you can also select the parameter sets of the
FDO241 wide spectrum smoke detector and the FDT241 heat detector. In this case the
FDOOT241-9 neural fire detector will behave like the FDO241 wide spectrum smoke detector
or FDT241 heat detector.
For S-LINE detectors the switching of the parameter sets can be controlled on a
time/process-related basis.
Two parameter sets within DOOT or DO or DT can be switched using an operating input on
the control and indicating panel, an operation on the operating panel of the control unit, or us-
ing the time controls on the control and indicating panel. Both parameter sets are fixed in both
PLAN D100 and in SIGMASYS detectors.
Two customized detector parameter sets can be selected for S-LINE detectors with PLAN
D100 and downloaded to the detectors via the line tester.
Installation conditions for Sinteso™ detectors and their associated parameters can be found
in the detectors' technical description.

FDSB291 signal base

The signal base is installed in place of the standard base and adds 2 horn output components
to the FDOxxx smoke detector. The detector can then be used to activate a warning or
evacuation sound.
The signal base has two volume settings (per component/parameter set).
The FDT241 and FDT221 heat detectors cannot actuate the signal base.
The signal base can be actuated across the whole system.
FDS221 Alarm horn (sounder)

The sounder has 2 output components which can be used to activate a warning or evacuation
sound.
The sounder has three volume settings (per component/parameter set). The sounds are con-
figured in PLAN D100:
The different sounds are differentiated by the tripping criterion (level 1 and level 2). The crite-
ria are listed in order of priority. If both sounds are triggered, the sound with the higher priority
is actuated.
If required, the criteria can be implemented by means of virtual inputs/outputs (VEA). Exam-
ple: With alarm organization, a different sound or volume can be used for the pre-alarm than
for the main alarm.
The sounder can be actuated across the whole system.
12.6.6 Calculating the maximum number of elements and length of lead
Technically, the possible length of line depends on what cable you are using (capacity and
resistance), as well as the load imposed by buzzers and sounders.
Threshold values for FDnet:
Maximum 180 ohms per loop and/or spur and maximum 330 nF for shielded and 500 nF for
unshielded lines.
12 Monitored lines
These limits apply to an FDnet with an expansion capacity of up to 126 elements each with
one load factor.
For example, if you are using IY(ST) Y 2x0,8 mm Ø cable (73 ohms and 100 nF per km), the
following maximum line lengths can be achieved:
• a loop with a 2.5 km line length
• a spur with a 2.5 km line length
With IYY 2x0.8 mm Ø cable the loop and T-taps may measure no more than 3.3 km if the ca-
ble is shielded and no more than 5 km if the cable is unshielded (the assembled cable length
depends mainly on the line capacity). Note here that the distance from the furthest element to
each control and indicating panel connection must be no more than 2.5 km.
12.6.7 Load factors
The maximum load factor connection per loop including T-taps is 280
To simplify the calculation, FDnet element numbers are calculated with load factors.

Table36: List of load factors for elements
In the case of an additional load factor on alarm, alarm indicators or control modules con-
nected to the detector are already included.
For control modules such as fixed close-and-retain systems (FSA) that are actuated by a de-
tector, an additional load factor of 1 must be allowed for in the idle state.
The number of additional signal bases and alarm sounders allowed for a given load factor in
the FDnet can be determined from the following table:

Warning:
The table applies only to short line lengths:
For cables with 0.6mm ∅ < 625m
For cables with 0.8mm ∅ < 1125m
Example: With 100 existing load factors and a maximum permitted load factor of 280, another
11 alarm sounders can be installed, or 3 alarm sounders and 21 signal bases (including de-
tectors).

A T-tap can be up to 2.5 km long.
The maximum line length is limited by the capacity of all lines in an FDnet
T-tap and LOOP. (330nF shielded 500nF unshielded).
Each FDnet has a limit of 280 load factors with any distribution over loop or T-tap.
The longer the line lengths in the loop, the fewer load factors can be connected.
The following diagram shows the maximum load factors that can be connected for an FDnet
(idle load factors + additional load factors in alarm state) in relation to the cable length and
line diameter. The diagram applies to both shielded and unshielded cable.
12 Monitored lines
Figure 19: Load factors in relation to line diameter and line length
Example: For a 2000m cable with 0.8 mm ∅, a maximum of 150 load factors may be con-
nected.
The curves allow for the leakage currents occurring with a creeping short circuit and a load
factor increase of 5 detectors with load factor 1 in alarm state.
The line capacity can limit the line length if lines are very long.
Note:
If SIGMALOOP/spur or MS8 wires are run in the same cable as FDnet wires, faults
may occur (above all in the initialization phase) in the SIGMALOOP or when trigger-
ing the alarms of MS8 detectors.
FDnet alarm lines from different modules can be run in the same cable.
Each of the following lines has separate earth fault monitoring:

Loop 1 and 2 respectively spurs 1,2,5,6
Loop 3 and 4 respectively spurs 3,4,7,8

13 SIGMANET
SIGMANET networks SIGMASYS C and M control and indicating panels and operating pan-
els. Mixed operation of IMT and BMT control and indicating panels is possible in SIGMANET.
SIGMANET is a network for danger alarm systems. It is based on serial connections and
takes the form of a bidirectional ring.
Data is transmitted around the ring as standard in a preferred direction. If the ring is broken at
a particular point, bidirectional transmission is initiated to ensure that all units remain accessi-
ble.
The ring can carry all forms of communication including events and commands.
Figure 20: SIGMANET main block diagram
As from version V3.0 of the control and indicator panels and operating panels, spur line oper-
ating panels can be connected via a free RS232 (V24) interface to the control and indicator
panels in the SIGMANET (1).
If configuring with PLAN D100 V5.2 and control and indicator panel software version 3.0 or
higher, spur line control and indicator panels (2) can be connected to control and indicating
panels in the SIGMANET.
Control and indicating panels and operating panels connected to control and indicating panels
in the SIGMANET via a spur line (2) do not count as network units.
With systems constructed according to EN 54-2 and VdS guidelines, the spur line control and
indicating panel or spur line operating panel must be installed in the same housing or imme-

13 SIGMANET
diately next to the connected SIGMANET control and indicating panel, since there is no cable
redundancy in a spur connection.
13.1 Features
• Up to 32 units can be networked with SIGMANET. SIGMANET operating panels can be

networked as SIGMANET units if installed a distance away from the control and indicat-
ing panel or as spur operating panels in the control and indicating panel or in the imme-
diate vicinity of the control and indicating panel. Spur operating panels and GMA oper-
ating panels are not considered SIGMANET units. The operating panel integrated in
SIGMASYS C is not considered to be a unit in the ring. SIGMALINK is used for con-
necting SM88 or SDN control and indicating panels is considered to be a unit.
• Cross-control and indicating panel alarm processing and control facilities.
• Local and remote activation of alerting equipment.
• High protection against failure.
• In the case of a fault on the connection between two SIGMANET units (e. g. short circuit
or line interruption), the relevant line segment is clipped. The ring structure guarantees
data transfer between all units is via the remaining connections. The same applies in
the case of a total failure of a unit.
• BMT/IMT mixed operation in SIGMANET.
• Connection of GMA Manager with IMT/BMT mixed operation.
• Connection of devices via the serial V.24 interface in the control and indicating panel.
• Fault diagnostics for the complete SIGMANET system from a central point is possible
as of Version 2.3. The entire system can be programmed from a net unit as of V2.6.
• The units are networked via shielded two-wire lines (IY(St)J 2 x 2 x 0.8).
• The line length between the two units must not exceed 1000 m.
With larger distances a modem link with TTY/V.24 V24230-Z2-A1 converter and modem or
FOC coupler can be installed. Modem links can provoke faults in the system.
Where strong interference has to be allowed for, as is the case in power stations, converter
stations or railway stations, the SIGMANET links should be built as far as possible using fiber
optic cables (FOC). The FOC couplers must be connected in the control and indicating panel
or immediately next to it.
The details of how to plan the layout of the fiber optic cables cannot be gone into here, as it
depends on the type of FOC being used and on the connection module (line lengths and
transmission type).
Experience has shown that some FOC connections on the TTY input cannot be connected di-
rectly to the TTY interface. In that case, connection devices with a V.24 connection and if
necessary a TTY/V.24 V24230-Z2-A1 converter should be used. Some manufacturers (e.g.
EUROLAN, EKS) provide FOC couplers for SIGMASYS which can be connected directly to
our TTY half-duplex interfaces.
In the SIGMANET S24230-F130-A4 operating panel the TTY/V.24 converter required for a
modem or FOC is already integrated.
Note:
13 SIGMANET
Up to version 3.0 a maximum of 32 operating panels can be connected in the SIGMANET

Up to version 3.1 a maximum of 40 operating panels can be connected in the SIGMANET
From version 3.2 a maximum of 60 operating panels can be connected in the SIGMANET
The operating panels include all devices operated on the SCI interface including
SIGMAPORT, FAT, FBF-A, etc., plus all operating panels connected in the SIGMANET and
in the spur to SIGMASYS control and indicating panels.
13.1.1 Modem links in SIGMANET
Modems can be used to bridge longer distances.

Two types of modem exist:
Baseband modems can only be used for galvanic connections
Voice band modems can be used irrespective of the line type.
Please note the following when using a modem:

• Up to eight modem links can be set up in SIGMANET.
• A maximum of 16 SIGMANET units are permitted when starting a modem.
• Apart from at the SIGMANET control panel (S24230-F130-A4), the modem must be
connected to a TTY/V24 converter.
• The TD-32B-DC voice band and BMXtra voice band modems must only be operated in
systems where all SIGMANET units have firmware version 3.1.
• All modems must be powered by the control and indicating panel’s PSU.
• The maximum possible connection length depends on the line type.

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.
13.2.2 SIGMANET operating panel S24230-F130-A4
The operating panel will be supplied by a membrane keyboard as of Version 2.6.

New features:
• 6 freely programmable function keys
• 2 additional cursor keys
13 SIGMANET
• 2 freely programmable V.24 interfaces

• Replaceable labelling strips which can be completed by the operator
• SIGMANET interfaces also available in V.24 for modem operation
• Emergency alarm display in the event of SIGMASYS M control and indicating panel fai-
lure.
The first four points also apply to the SIGMASYS C (operating panel S24230-F515-A2
13.2.3 Operating panel variants
The following operating panel variants can be parameterised for all operating panels (incl.
SIGMASYS C control and indicating panels):
• Control center operating panel:
Normally permanently busy, no screen-blanking feature. This operating panel can be
assigned an operating panel with standby function that automatically takes over the re-
sponsibilities of a failed control centre operating panel on an object-specific basis.
• Local (on-site) operating panel:
Not permanently busy, screen-blanking feature for IMT available, cannot be assigned a
standby operating panel.
• Infopanel:
Used as a straightforward display terminal without operating function (excluding polling
function) and is also installed in addition to a control centre/on-site operating panel.
Screen-blanking function available. Cannot be assigned a standby operating panel.
• Standby function for control center operating panels:
For redundancy for a control centre operating panel, the operating and display functions
can be taken over by one or more operating panels if the control centre operating panel
fails. In normal operation, it is not possible to display information or perform operations
at a standby operating panel. The standby function is assigned on an object-specific
and criteria-specific basis. A command must be entered to reassign the responsibility
once the on-site operating panel is put back into operation. The standby function only
becomes active if an object is no longer supported by a control centre operating panel.
Only one standby operating panel may be programmed per object.
If no standby function is programmed, the control center operating panel with the lowest num-
ber takes over the responsibility in the event of operating panel failure.
Parallel operation is possible if multiple control centre/on-site operating panels are parameter-
ised with the same responsibilities: alarm display is updated simultaneously at all responsible
operating panels (with an internal acoustic alarm) and can be modified at all responsible
operating panels. Modifications to an alarm via a processing operation are displayed at all
operating panels.
Reaction of the operating field keys in the case of multiple control and indicating panel re-
sponsibilities:
Reset: based on the object or alarm
Acoustic off: based on the event, acoustic VdS alarm device and internal
alarm off
At least one control centre operating panel must be programmed in the system
All detector objects must be assigned at least one control centre operating panel.

13.2.5 Mobile operating panel
as of Version 2.6)
The “mobile operating panel” function is required by Maintenance in order to be able to oper-
ate a SIGMASYS M on site (otherwise, every SIGMASYS M must have an operating panel).
An operating panel is specially provided for this task in the project planning in SIGMANET. It
is permanently in operation and can easily be removed as required (TAE-N connector, TAE-N
socket) and then reconnected to the mains in another place equipped with the relevant so-
cket. SIGMANET operates like a bus line in this case (unit position not important). We rec-
ommend installing the operating panel in the OP console to increase portability.

13 SIGMANET
13.3 AT release
13.3.1 Central AT release
Central AT release means that the appropriate central alarm transceiver (AT) is tripped by all
BMT or IMT control and indicating panels in SIGMANET in the event of failure. The control
and indicating panel in which this AT resides is known as the “AT Master BMT Control and
Indicating Panel” or the “AT Master IMT Control and Indicating Panel”.
The other SIGMANET control and indicating panels are known as “sub-control and indicating
panels”.
If the AT is disabled at the AT master control and indicating panel, this is displayed at all af-
fected SIGMANET units.
Figure 23: Central AT release
This example is not valid for IMT with VdS certificate.

The fire brigade operating panel (FBF) and the key depot are always assigned the AT1 ob-
jects and must be connected to the control and indicating panel at which the appropriate AT1
is connected.

13 SIGMANET
13.3.2 Remote AT release
• ATs can be programmed at any control and indicating panels.

• Two ATs can be programmed and connected per control and indicating panel.
• The assignment of the AT release is performed system-wide by means of object as-
signment.
• An object can only be assigned via an AT

15.1 Layout of a SIGMALOOP at an existing star-configuration line network
Figure 26: SIGMALOOP at an existing star-configuration line network
If the above limits are observed, multiple incoming and outgoing loop lines can be fed via a
single cable, e.g. 1 loop for automatic detectors and 1 loop for non automatic detectors.
Figure 27: SIGMALOOP lines
If functional endurance is required of the cable (applicable building and construction law), this
can be achived by laying the loop in such a way that forward and reverse lines are fed via dif-
ferent fire sectors (riser ducts).

The control and indicating panels beginning with V2.0 can be programmed with the actual
PLAN D100 V5.1.
Only features that are available in the control and indicating panel’s software version can
be programmed, otherwise the entire system will not function correctly.
In the case of software versions 2.2 to 2.4, all control and indicating panels in a SIGMANET
must have the same firmware.
Control and indicating panels and operating panels with the software versions V2.5 and V2.6
and V3.x may be operated in a SIGMANET.

All SIGMANET units must operate with version V3.1 if TD-32B-DC and BMXtra modems are
used.
