Stainless steel security mesh screening shall be equivalent to woven mesh 0.028" wire diameter alloy #304 stainless steel and have a tensile strength of 800 pounds per lineal inch. Mesh shall be equivalent to 12 x 12 per inch with main and subframes of 12-gauge carbon steel with baked enamel finish and internal key locking slide bolts. Security mesh screens are to be installed on inside of windows.

All doors must be fitted with two lock sets. If a door is not set in a steel frame, one of these locks must be a jimmy proof rim deadlock. Doors set in steel frames must be fitted with mortise lock with a deadlock pin feature. One lock (the day lock) must be automatically locking on door closure;

Combinations or keys to day locks will be restricted to service employees and combinations changed immediately on the termination or reassignment of an employee.

4. OTHER ROOM ACCESS MEANS

Ceiling overhead areas which enable entry into a secure room from an unsecured room must be barricaded by the installation of a suitable partition or ceiling which deters "up and over" access. Ventilation grills on doors and air circulation ducts which exceed 100 square inches in areas must be reinforced to prevent their removal from outside the room. Other possible access means such as dumbwaiter shafts, roof or wall ventilator housings, trap doors, etc., must be secured by appropriate means.

5. MOTION INTRUSION DETECTORS

a. An intrusion detection alarm system which detects entry into the room, and which broadcasts a local alarm of sufficient volume to induce an illegal entrant to abandon a burglary attempt. Intrusion detectors must have the following essential features:

(1) An internal, automatic charging DC standby power supply and a primary AC power operation.

(2) A remote, key operated activation/deactivation switch installed outside the rooms and adjacent to the room entrance door frame.

(3) An automatic reset capability following an intrusion detection.

(4) A local alarm level of 80 dB(min) to 90 dB(max) up to 100 feet from the protected room.

(5) An integral capability for the attachment of wiring for remote alarm and intrusion indicator equipment (visual or audio). See installation note subparagraph c (2) below.

(6) A low nuisance alarm susceptibility.

b. Intrusion detector equipment which operates on the principle of narrow beam interception, microwave, or photo electric eye is unacceptable.

c. Installation Notes:

(1) A locally sounding alarm should not be installed in a room which is close to an

ICU,

cardiac care, or other special treatment area where a loud alarm would have an injurious effect on patients.

(2) In addition to the locally sounding alarm, remote visuals and/or audio annunciators must be located at the telephone switchboard and/or the security operations room to assure detector monitorship during nonbusiness hours.

(3) In protected rooms of outpatient clinic not on medical center grounds, intrusion detector alarms will be remoted to a commercial security alarm monitoring firm, a local police department, or a security office charged with building security. The remoted alarms will be in addition to locally broadcast alarms in the protected areas.
