PART 2 – PRODUCTS

1. Controllers shall operate as an autonomous intelligent processing unit. Controllers shall make decisions about access control, alarm monitoring, linking functions and door locking schedules for its operation, independent of other system components. Controllers shall be part of a fully distributed processing control network. The portion of the database associated with a controller and consisting of parameters, constraints and the latest value or status of points connected to that controller, shall be maintained in the controller.

2. The following functions shall be fully implemented and operational within each controller:

a. Monitoring inputs.

b. Controlling outputs.

c. Automatically reporting alarms to the Central Station.

d. Reporting of sensor and output status to Central Station on request.

e. Maintaining real time, automatically updated by the Central Station at least once a day.

f. Communicating with the Central Station.

g. Executing controller resident programs.

h. Diagnosing.

i. Downloading and uploading data to and from the Central Station.

3. Controller operations at a location:

a. Connect to communications loop via category cable and the Owner’s LAN/WAN equipment. Globally operating I/O linking and anti-passback functions between Controllers within the same location without Central Station or workstation intervention. Linking and anti-passback shall remain fully functional within the same location even when the Central Station or workstations are offline.

b. In the event of communications failure between the Central Station and the location, there shall be no degradation in operations at the controllers at that location.

c. Buffered events shall be handled in a first in first out mode of operation.

4. Individual controller operation:

a. Controllers shall transmit alarms, status changes and other data to the Central Station when communications circuits are operable. If communications are not available, controllers shall function in a standalone mode and operational data, including the status and alarm data normally transmitted to the Central Station, shall be stored for later transmission to the Central Station. Buffer capacity for the latest 99,999 transactions shall be provided at each controller.

b. Card reader ports of a controller shall be custom configurable for different card reader formats. Multiple reader or keypad formats may be used simultaneously at different controllers or within the same controller.

c. Controllers shall provide a response to card readers or keypad entries in less than 0.25 seconds, regardless of system size.

d. Controllers that are reset, or powered up from a non-powered state, shall automatically request a parameter download and reboot to its proper working state. This shall happen without any operator intervention.

e. Initial startup: when controllers are brought online, database parameters shall be automatically downloaded to them. After initial download is completed, only database changes shall be downloaded to each controller.

f. Failure mode: on failure for any reason, controllers shall perform an orderly shutdown and force controller outputs to a predetermined failure mode state, consistent with the failure modes shown and the associated control device.

g. Startup after power failure: after power is restored, startup software shall initiate self-test diagnostic routines, after which controllers shall resume normal operation.

h. Startup after controller failure: on failure, if the database and application software are no longer resident, controllers shall not restart but shall remain in the failure mode until repaired. If database and application programs are resident, controllers shall immediately resume operation. If not, the software shall be restored automatically from Central Station.

C. Controller to controller communications:

1. Controller to controller communications: via Owner’s LAN/WAN. The Contractor is to establish communication with input from Owner for port allocation.

D. Database downloads:

1. All data transmissions from PC to a location and between controllers at a location, shall include a complete database checksum to check the integrity of the transmission. If the data checksum does not match, a full data download shall be automatically retransmitted.

2. If a Controller is reset for any reason, it shall automatically request and receive a database download from the PC. The download shall restore data stored at the controller to their normal working state and shall take place with no operator intervention.

1. Minimum protection for power connections 120 Volts and more: auxiliary panel suppressors complying with requirements in Division 26 section Transient Voltage Suppression for Low Voltage Electrical Power Circuits.

2. Minimum protection for communication, signal, control and low voltage power connections: comply with requirements in Division 26 section Transient Voltage Suppression for Low Voltage Electrical Power Circuits as recommended by the manufacturer for type of line being protected.

1. Inputs: monitor dry contacts for changes of state that reflect alarm conditions. Provide at least eight alarm inputs, which are suitable for wiring as normally open or normally closed contacts for alarm conditions.

E. Provide local entry control functions including communications with access control devices such as card readers, door strikes and door operators.

1. Operate as a standalone portal with the controller using the downloaded database during periods of communication loss between the controller and the field device network.

2. Accept information generated by the entry control devices and automatically process this information to determine valid identification of the individual present at the portal:

a. On authentication of the credentials or information presented, check privileges of the identified individual, allowing only those actions granted as privileges.

b. Privileges shall include, but not be limited to, time of day control, day of week control, group control and visitor escort control.

3. Maintain a date, time and location stamped record of each transaction. A transaction is defined as any successful or unsuccessful attempt to gain access through a controlled portal by the presentation of credentials or other identifying information.

F. Inputs:

1. Data from entry control devices.

2. Database downloads and updates from the Central Station that include enrollment and privilege information.

G. Outputs:

1. Indicate success or failure of attempts to use entry control devices and make comparisons of presented information with stored identification information.

2. Grant or deny entry by sending control signals to portal control devices.

3. Maintain a date, time and location stamped record of each transaction and transmit transaction records to the Central Station.

4. Door prop alarm (if required) will be determined prior to the start of the project: if a portal is held open for longer than 20 seconds (adjustable), alarm shall sound. Provide recessed dual reed (position/status) door contacts with alarm hardware and associated cabling in jamb, opposite hinge location separate from the Intrusion System contact.

5. Power supplies sufficient to power at voltage and frequency required for field devices and portal control devices.

6. Data line problems: for periods of loss of communications with Central Station or when data transmission is degraded and generating continuous checksum errors, the controller shall continue to control entry by accepting identifying information, making authentication decisions, checking privileges and controlling portal control devices.

B. Latch retraction locations, either exterior or interior, will use the Von Duprin QEL only. No substitution will be acceptable.

C. Delayed egress:

1. In addition to the DynaLock 3101ES and power supply described in 3.2 G, the following devices are required. The Von Duprin 050271-00 exit switch is the only acceptable request to exit switch. The Securitron PZ1 is preferred for an interior annunciator and ADI OE-1GANGDRSR for the exterior annunciator. The magnetic locks are different for the interior and the exterior. The preferred interior magnet is the SDC part No. 1581 and for the exterior the Schlage part No. SFX 7410. Any substitution must be preapproved by the Owner representative.
