A rchitect'sSpecifications
...........................................................................................................................
 
The contractor shall provide a complete electrically supervised,battery backed-up, fire and burglary alarm system. The system shall becomplete with a multi-zone alarm system with the capacity of up to 8 burglaror Class B fire zones of which up to 8 may be wireless zones. All zonesshall be supervised and be capable of operating listed heat detectors,smoke detectors, alarm contacts, motion detectors, vibration detectorsand other listed fire and burglary alarm detection devices. The systemshall have 1 low current voltage output and 1 high current voltage output.All outputs shall be programmable to activate for 1 of 23 options. Systemshall be complete with a 4 wire unshielded (QUAD) communications bus thatallows system modules and keypads to be added anywhere on the bus up to1,000 feet (330m) per leg from the main control panel. Bus shall be ableto withstand temporary shorts of up to +12V without control panel damage.The system shall be capable of providing 550mA of 12VDC auxiliary powerfor alarm devices. 

The alarm panel shall be capable of digital communications via regulartelephone line, LINKS cellular, LINKS long range radio and DVACS to twoseparate monitoring stations or locations with 2 account numbers and 3telephone numbers. LINKS cellular communication shall be capable of backupor sole communications to monitoring stations and for upload/ downloadoperations. The system communicator shall be capable of communicating inall major formats including SIA and Contact ID. Events transmitted shallbe 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. Thesystem shall be capable of paging personnel on the occurrence of any ofthe above events selected by the owner. The system shall be capable oftransmitting a test code to the monitoring station(s) on a programmabledaily, weekly or monthly frequency at a regular time of day. 

There shall be a 700mA, PTC protected, supervised bell/siren circuitthat will drive a bell/siren until reset or silenced. Siren output shallbe programmable as steady or pulsed for each zone. 

The alarm panel shall be equipped with EEPROM memory to retain all programinformation even if all AC and battery power is lost and shall have integralstatic and lightning protection circuitry. 

To prevent false alarms and unnecessary transmissions to monitoringstations, the alarm panel shall have SIA false alarm prevention features,programmable swinger shut down by zone, audible exit delay, audible exitfault, opening after alarm reporting, arm/disarm bell squawk, urgency onentry delay, "quick exit", programmable transmission delay by zone, andtransmission delay on AC failure, TLM trouble, low battery, recent closecode, and cross zone police code, 

The system shall have stay/away and stay arming capability to allowthe user to remain on the premises while the system is armed. A quick-armfeature 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 dooris 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 surfacemounted and capable of fully programming and operating the system. Eachkeypad shall be assignable to operate the entire system. Dual-Languagekeypads 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 capableof toggling between languages by pressing a keypad key combination. LEDkeypads shall have 8 zone indicators. All keypads shall have keypad activatedemergency alarms for panic, emergency, fire, and duress; 5 programmablefunction keys or programmable keypad functions; LED indicators for Ready,Armed, and Trouble or System; and shall be equipped with a Piezo Buzzerto provide audible feedback for correct key entries, pre-alert, and trouble. 

Each keypad shall have one zone input to allow a zone detector to bewired directly to the keypad. 

System shall support wireless operation with up to 8 wireless panicpendants, 16 wireless arm/disarm keys, and 4 wireless handheld keypads. 

The system shall allow 39 access codes including 32 user codes, 1 mastercode, 2 duress codes, 2 supervisor codes, 1 installer code, and 1 maintenancecode. The system shall be uploadable/downloadable to allow programmingand operation from a directly connected local computer, or from a remotecomputer over a telephone line or LINKS cellular communications equipment.Remote access shall be controlled by the owner to prevent unauthorizedaccess. 

The system shall support a 300, 1200, 2400 or 4800 bps serial printerconnected to the communications bus up to 1,000 feet (330m) from the controlpanel. The printer shall log all system events and transactions with timeand date stamp. Information shall be stored in the system's 128 event bufferwhich can be examined from the LCD keypad or via DLS software. 

The system shall meet UL standards as required for type of application.
