SECTION 281302 - ACCESS CONTROL

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This section is for a security access control system which ties into an existing Lenel OnGuard ID Enterprise Credential Security System. This includes as necessary:

1. Door controllers.

Input control modules are for alarm triggers and other similar whatsits and whosits such as this door or window is open or ajar. I hate to say this, but at this time this is a bunch of Greek to me and I am operating somewhat blind in trying to get this right with CIO.

2. Input control modules.

Output control modules are local alarms such as a light board that would say this door or window is open.

3. Output control modules.

4. Access card readers.

5. Power supplies.

6. Raceways and pathways.

7. Signal, control, and power wiring.

B. Coordination with the credential center or security server will be handled through:

Power and signal shall be from the controller. Electric strikes are specified in Section 087100 "Door Hardware."

Magnetic door locks are needed for glass doors on interior. They usually don’t work that well for exterior doors as I have seen doors tried to be forced open that are now bent because they could be pried easier than those with strikes.

B. Electromagnetic Locks: End-of-line resistors shall provide power-line supervision. Lock status sensing signal shall positively indicate door is secure. Power and signal shall be from the controller. Electromagnetic locks are specified in Section 087100 "Door Hardware."

Indicate vehicle gate and access-control arrangements on Drawings.

I don’t know or understand this TIA-232 section yet, leaving it for now as I don’t need to understand it yet and can delete it.

I also have not looked at the elevator control section yet and may never as we typically do not deal with buildings over 2 floors.

2.12 ELEVATOR CONTROL

Establish number of outputs with the elevator control specifications. Typical elevator interface will require one output per elevator car per floor controlled. Some systems may require one additional output per elevator bank to place elevators in after-hours mode. Specify elevator travel cable in the elevator . Alternatively, cable may be inserted in this article; if inserted, coordinate with elevator specifications.

A. A. Elevator access control shall be integral to security access.

1. System shall be capable of providing full elevator security and control through dedicated controllers without relying on the control-station host PC for elevator control decisions.

2. Access-control system shall enable and disable car calls on the exterior of the building utilizing exterior card reader.

3. System setup shall, through programming, individually secure and unsecure exterior call button of a car by time and day.

B. Security access system shall record which call button is pressed, along with credential and time information.

1. System controller shall record elevator access data.

Retain first subparagraph below to prevent tag-along or tailgater from pressing a call button that someone else's code enabled.

2. The controller shall reset all additional call buttons that may have been enabled by the user's credential.

3. The floor-select elevator control shall allow for manual override from a workstation PC either by individual floor or by cab.
