listed in Article 1.02 of this section and with all applicable national, state and local codes. D. All items of a given type shall be the product of the same manufacturer. E. Single manufacturer to assume responsibility for Personal Duress Alarm System as specified under this section. F. System Performance and Operation: 1.04 SUBMITTALS 1. Arrange system such that transmitter emits a signal to a local room or corridor receiver which processes a zoned signal to the control unit, in turn supplying a signal to a LED on a graphic display indicating the zone in alarm. 2. The control unit will receive the alarm signal from the receivers in each zone and annunciate the alarm on the graphic display. The alarm is acknowledged and reset by momentary switches at the control console. 3. The control module shall provide an oscillating signal for the flashing LED annunciators and the pulsating audible alarm. A red LED and a green LED will monitor the status of the power supply. The red LED will be flashing if the system is operating on the back-up batteries. 4. The zone control modules shall be plug-in modules which process the zone signal and provide: a. Constant Current outputs to annunciate an alarm condition by a LED on the graphic display. b. +24 VDC output voltage. c. A pair of normally open reed relay contacts. The constant current output shall be pulsing until he alarm is acknowledged and then be on steady. A. Shop Drawings and Product Data: Submit reproducible copies of complete Shop Drawings for Personal Duress Alarm System, including: 1. Point-to-point wiring diagram, indicating: a. All wiring termination with individual wire markings. SCANSA98.DOC Duress System - 2
b. Arrangement of panel modules in cabinets. c. Schedules, indicating annunciation and labeling. d. Connection details typical for each device to be installed. e. Conduit routing, size of conduit and quantity and size of wire. 2. Equipment manual indicating each device to be supplied. 3. Technical specification and data sheets of each system component and device. 4. As-built Drawings a. As-built drawings shall be furnished by the contractor in four copies upon completion of installation and prior to final inspection. The as-built drawings shall show by number the receivers in the exact sequence in which they are installed in each circuit. 5. Furnish a complete wiring diagram for approval by the Electrical Engineer for the entire system showing all devices in the system and all wiring. Assign wire conductor in the system where they are exposed in the terminal cabinets, junction boxes or equipment cabinets. 6. As-built Maintenance Manuals At completion of the work, the subcontractor shall turn over to the Electrical Engineer two (2) sets of the following: a. All shop drawings, instruction sheets, control diagrams of master boxes, instructions, bulletins and all pertinent information required by the Personal Duress Alarm technicians for proper operation of each and every piece of equipment furnished under this specification. b. An as-built drawing showing all circuits, wire marking and color code for each conductor. 7. Operations and Instructions After the system has been tested, and before final acceptance, the manufacturer s representative and the Electrical subcontractor shall hold a minimum two (2) hour instructional session with the Owner s selected personnel. The system operation shall be explained and all questions SCANSA98.DOC Duress System - 3
