11 Argus Conventions

11.1 Numbering System

Argus Technologies uses an eight-digit drawing number system, which is broken into three blocks. The first three

digits describe the category of the product; e.g., rectifier or fuse panel. The next three digits indicate the sequence

in which the product number was allocated in a particular category. The last two digits indicate the type of

drawing, for example:

“-06” Outline Drawing

“-08” Customer Connections

“-20” Main Assembly

Argus uses an eight-digit part numbering system for all components and sub assemblies. Each part is covered by

its own unique number. Due to the quantity, categories will not be listed within this manual.
