PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 ACCESS CONTROL & ALARM MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

A. Requirements

The Access Control System (ACS) requirement is for an on-line system that has intelligent
field units for the local processing of controlled door (or shutter/barrier) transactions, together
with monitoring and control capability via alarm input/control output circuits. The local
intelligent units report to a ‘head end’ server that provides alarm handling and display of ACS
and IDS warnings and which is the means by which the system is administered and
programmed.

The on-line equipment utilized shall be flexible and capable of upgrade to meet potential
changing deployment requirements. To help achieve this aim, the ACS system shall utilize
an IP network provided by the client. The properties of the network, and the network route.
Based on distributed intelligence, the system shall ensure that if communications between
server and Door Controllers (DCs) fail, then events are stored in the field units and are
automatically sent to the central server on resumption of communications.
During communications failures, the individual DCs shall operate autonomously, providing all
normal functions of card verification and door control.

The ACS software package shall cater initially for the minimum number of readers specified,
such that only additional field equipment and cabling is required to extend the ACS capability.

The following functions and facilities refer to the ACS/IDS requirement except where
specifically noted otherwise.

Drop-arm barriers as shown on the deployment drawings shall be installed to provide

vehicle management of residents’ vehicles and restrict access to the lower levels of the
parking facility.

Barriers shall be located across each of the entry and exit lanes for the roadways as
shown on the drawings. These barriers shall afford controlled vehicular access and egress
to/from parking areas reserved for residents’.

Under normal conditions, the vehicle entry lane drop-arm barrier shall be controlled by
means of the card access system such that people arriving with a valid card can enter or
leave without intervention or assistance from security personnel. In the event that a
problem is encountered by a person/car trying to enter or leave then contact with the
guard shall be made via an intercom station at the card reader location.

Contacts from the intercom shall be connected to the barrier control system to enable the
barrier to raise and lower commands to be issued via the intercom system.

The exact location of all barriers, ground loops and entry control devices (e.g. readers,
intercoms, cameras) shall be agreed with the Architect prior to the production of
"shop drawings".

The structural/foundation and builder’s work requirements shall be notified in advance

such that the works may be integrated into the general construction program.

Works associated with these barriers shall include the supply, installation, testing and
commissioning and setting to work the barrier traffic control systems and their interfaces.
