PART II PRODUCT
.1 MATERIALS & COMPONENTS
A. System Description:
1. The Access Control and Security system within the building shall consist of a microprocessor
based controller that can be either a standalone or a networked unit with means to program,
monitor intrusion and limit access to a single, or a series of, one-door to eight-door controlled
areas.
2. A single system shall support up to 8 (eight) card reading sensors [and/or Keypads] and up to 8
(eight) modules of 4 (four) inputs each.
3. Cards:
a. Digital Proximity: QuadraKey, DuraKey, NexKey.
b. Analog Proximity: 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060 cards.
4. Keypad modes:
a. Standalone mode with user entered card number for access, or
b. In conjunction with sensor for dual verification entry.
5. The Access Control and Security System shall provide complete software and hardware to operate
with the following features:
a. Database: Database shall store all user operating data and handle event reporting for all
possible attached devices, and shall contain memory capacity for the following:
1) Users with unique ID: 11,200.
2) Users with 12 character name and unique numeric ID: up to 4,400.
b. Event activity: System shall designate activity as an alarm or non-alarm condition, dependent
upon modules installed, and shall report activity for:
1) Supervised monitor points: 32 maximum.
2) Unsupervised monitor points: 9 maximum.
3) Outputs: 16 maximum.
c. Relay outputs: System shall initiate relay output commands based on:
1) Card Access Activity.
2) Operator Keyboard Inputs.
3) Pre-programmed Time Schedule.
4) Switch Input.
d. System diagnostics:
1) Automatic system diagnostics and automatic alarming based on detected faults in the
controller, sensors, wiring, and multiple switch monitor.
2) Off-line diagnostics for checking the integrity of controller’s memory (RAM and ROM
test), annunciator control test and radio frequency interference test.
e. Communication modes: System shall communicate activity in either of two modes, as
follows:
1) Standalone mode: In standalone mode, all system activity messages to the operator shall
be printed in plain English Language Text. Mnemonic type or transaction code type
operator messages are not acceptable, or;
2) Networked mode: In networked (Host) mode, the Alto 818SC/SX will be polled by a Host
system for activity messages. All system activity messages to the Host system shall be
binary for efficient data communications supporting SEEP protocol. The Host shall have
the responsibility for acknowledging and translating the received messages. While
operating in Host mode, a second port on the Controller shall be available for standalone
mode connection and output.
