1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The designer must show sensor detection patterns, entry control terminal
devices, portal control, facility interface, personnel identity verification,
surveillance and detection equipment locations, and quantities and installation
details on drawings. Add requirements for additional site specific conditions
such as furniture/equipment layout within protected areas, and hazard location
areas, type of hazard, class, and group.
The Contractor shall provide an Electronic Security System (ESS) as described and shown including installation
of any Government Furnished Equipment. All computing devices, as defined in 47 CFR 15, shall be certified to
comply with the requirements for Class A computing devices and labeled as set forth in 47 CFR 15. Electronic
equipment shall comply with 47 CFR 15.
1.2.1 Central Station
The central station shall be configured to provide operator interface, interaction, dynamic and real time monitoring,
display, and control. The central station shall control system networks to interconnect all system components
including peer or subordinate workstations, enrollment stations and field equipment. The system shall be able
to manage up to 16,000 uniquely identifiable inputs and outputs.
1.2.2 Systems Networks
System networks shall interconnect all components of the system. These networks shall include communications
between a central station and any peer or subordinate workstations, enrollment stations, local annunciation stations,
portal control stations or redundant central stations. The systems network shall provide totally automatic communication
of status changes, commands, field initiated interrupts and any other communications required for proper system
operation. System communication shall not require operator initiation or response. System communication shall
return to normal after any partial or total network interruption such as power loss or transient upset. The
system shall automatically annunciate communication failures to the operator with identification of the communication
link that has experienced a partial or total failure. A communications controller may be used as an interface
between the central station display systems and the field device network. The communications controller shall
provide those functions needed to attain the specified network communications performance.
1.2.2.1 Console Network
A console network, if required, shall provide communication between a central station and any subordinate or
separate stations of the system. Where redundant central or parallel stations are required, the console network
shall allow the configuration of stations as master and slave. The console network may be a part of the field
device network or may be separate depending upon the manufacturer's system configuration.
1.2.2.2 Field Device Network
The field device network shall provide communication between a central control station and field devices of the
system. The field device network shall be configured as shown in the drawings. Field devices shall consist
of alarm annunciation local processors and entry control local processors. Each field device shall be interrogated
during each interrogation cycle. The field device network shall provide line supervision that detects and annunciates
communications interruptions or compromised communications between any field device and the central station.
1.2.3 Field Equipment
Field equipment shall include local processors, sensors and controls. Local processors shall serve as an interface
between the central station and sensors and controls. Data exchange between the central station and the local
processors shall include down-line transmission of commands, software and databases to local processors. The
up line data exchange from the local processor to the central station shall include status data such as intrusion
alarms, status reports and entry control records. Local processors are categorized as alarm annunciation or
entry control or a combination thereof.
1.2.4 CCTV System Interface
NOTE: The following interfaces are required only if CCTV, intercom, or lighting
systems are part of the design.
An interface shall be provided for connection of the central station to the CCTV system as specified in Section
28 23 23.00 10
28 23 23.00 10
28 23 23.00 10 CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEMS and as shown. This shall not be accomplished by using an electro-mechanical
relay assembly.
1.2.5 Intercom Interface
An interface shall be provided for connection of the central station to the intercommunication systems as specified
in Section
33 82 01
33 82 01
33 82 01 INTERCOMMUNICATION SYSTEM and as shown. This shall not be accomplished by using an electro-mechanical
relay assembly.

26 55 53.00 10
26 55 53.00 10
26 55 53.00 10 EXTERIOR LIGHTING INCLUDING SECURITY AND CCTV APPLICATIONS and as shown.
1.2.7 Error Detection and Retransmission
A cyclic code error detection method shall be used between local processors and the central station, which shall
detect single and double bit errors, burst errors of 8 bits or less, and at least 99 percent of all other multibit
and burst error conditions. Interactive or product error detection codes alone will not be acceptable. A message
shall be in error if 1 bit is received incorrectly. The system shall retransmit messages with detected errors.
A 2-digit decimal number shall be operator assignable to each communication link representing the number of retransmission
attempts. When the number of consecutive retransmission attempts equals the assigned quantity, the central station
shall print a communication failure alarm message. The system shall monitor the frequency of data transmission
failure for display and logging.
1.2.8 System Definitions
1.2.8.1 Intrusion Alarm
An alarm resulting from the detection of a specified target, attempting to intrude into the protected area or
when entry into an entry-controlled area is attempted without successfully using entry control procedures.
1.2.8.2 Nuisance Alarm
An alarm resulting from the detection of an appropriate alarm stimulus, or failure to use established entry control
procedures, but which does not represent an attempt to intrude into the protected area.
1.2.8.3 Environmental Alarm
A nuisance alarm resulting from environmental factors.

map monitors. Higher priority alarms shall be displayed first; and within alarm priorities, the oldest unacknowledged
alarm shall be displayed first. An alarm is latched into the system upon activation/annunciation. Once in alarm,
no subsequent alarms from that specific device/sensor need be annunciated until the current alarm is investigated
and cleared. The system may provide a counter to indicate the number of subsequent alarms from that specific
device/sensor that occurred after the initial alarm, but no additional alarms are to be annunciated until the
current alarm is "cleared". Operator acknowledgment of one alarm silences the audible alarm and changes associated
map and text icons from flashing red to steady state red. These icons remain red to indicate that the alarm
is still open and the system is awaiting identification of the course and resolution by the operator. The operator
can resolve the alarm by either the use of CCTV assessment to identify the cause or by dispatching guards/response
force to investigate. After the operator has satisfactorily determined the cause of the alarm and is prepared
to enter pertinent information into the log, the operator will "clear" the alarm. Clearing the alarm indicates
to the system that the operator needs to be notified of any new alarms from that device/sensor. Programmable
alarm data to be displayed shall include type of alarm, location of alarm, and secondary alarm messages. Alarm
data to be printed shall include: type of alarm, location of alarm, date and time (to nearest second) of occurrence,
