The contractor shall provide a complete electrically supervised, battery
backed-up, fire and burglary alarm system. The system shall be complete with a
multi-zone alarm system with the capacity of up to 8 burglar or Class B fire zones
of which up to 8 may be wireless zones. All zones shall be supervised and be
capable of operating listed heat detectors, smoke detectors, alarm contacts,
motion detectors, vibration detectors and other listed fire and burglary alarm
detection devices. The system shall have 1 low current voltage output and 1 high
current voltage output. All outputs shall be programmable to activate for 1 of 23
options. System shall be complete with a 4 wire unshielded (QUAD) communications
bus that allows system modules and keypads to be added anywhere on the bus up
to 1,000 feet (330m) per leg from the main control panel. Bus shall be able to
withstand temporary shorts of up to +12V without control panel damage. The
system shall be capable of providing 550mA of 12VDC auxiliary power for
alarm devices.
The alarm panel shall be capable of digital communications via regular telephone
line, LINKS cellular, LINKS long range radio and DVACS to two separate monitoring
stations or locations with 2 account numbers and 3 telephone numbers. LINKS
cellular communication shall be capable of backup or sole communications to
monitoring stations and for upload/ download operations. The system communicator
shall be capable of communicating in all major formats including SIA and Contact
ID. Events transmitted shall be programmable to include: fire alarms, burglary
alarms, trouble alarms, supervisory conditions, alarm restoral codes, opening
(disarming) and closing (arming) codes, partial closing codes, and opening after
alarm codes. The system shall be capable of paging personnel on the occurrence
of any of the above events selected by the owner. The system shall be capable of
transmitting a test code to the monitoring station(s) on a programmable daily,
weekly or monthly frequency at a regular time of day.
There shall be a 700mA, PTC protected, supervised bell/siren circuit that will drive
a bell/siren until reset or silenced. Siren output shall be programmable as steady
or pulsed for each zone.
The alarm panel shall be equipped with EEPROM memory to retain all program
information even if all AC and battery power is lost and shall have integral static
and lightning protection circuitry.
To prevent false alarms and unnecessary transmissions to monitoring stations, the
alarm panel shall have SIA false alarm prevention features, programmable swinger
shut down by zone, audible exit delay, audible exit fault, opening after alarm reporting,
arm/disarm bell squawk, urgency on entry delay, "quick exit", programmable
transmission delay by zone, and transmission delay on AC failure, TLM trouble, low
battery, recent close code, and cross zone police code,
The system shall have stay/away and stay arming capability to allow the user to
remain on the premises while the system is armed. A quick-arm feature shall allow
users without access codes to arm the system and exit. A door chime feature shall
cause the keypad to beep when a selected door is opened or closed.
The system shall support any combination of up to 8 "Dual-Language" and "LED"
type keypads with backlit displays. Keypads shall be surface mounted and
capable of fully programming and operating the system. Each keypad shall be
assignable to operate the entire system. Dual-Language keypads shall be complete
with 32 character liquid crystal display (LCD) to provide plain language
programming instructions, operating instructions, and display of all alarms and
supervisory conditions. They shall be capable of toggling between languages by
pressing a keypad key combination. LED keypads shall have 8 zone indicators. All
keypads shall have keypad activated emergency alarms for panic, emergency, fire,
and duress; 5 programmable function keys or programmable keypad functions;
LED indicators for Ready, Armed, and Trouble or System; and shall be equipped
with a Piezo Buzzer to provide audible feedback for correct key entries, pre-alert,
and trouble.
Each keypad shall have one zone input to allow a zone detector to be wired
directly to the keypad.
System shall support wireless operation with up to 8 wireless panic pendants, 16
wireless arm/disarm keys, and 4 wireless handheld keypads.
The system shall allow 39 access codes including 32 user codes, 1 master code,
2 duress codes, 2 supervisor codes, 1 installer code, and 1 maintenance code.
The system shall be uploadable/downloadable to allow programming and
operation from a directly connected local computer, or from a remote computer
over a telephone line or LINKS cellular communications equipment. Remote access
shall be controlled by the owner to prevent unauthorized access.
The system shall support a 300, 1200, 2400 or 4800 bps serial printer
connected to the communications bus up to 1,000 feet (330m) from the control
panel. The printer shall log all system events and transactions with time and date
stamp. Information shall be stored in the system's 128 event buffer which can be
examined from the LCD keypad or via DLS software.
The system shall meet UL standards as required for type of application. |
