Specifications
tim efram e since the last com m unication.
K. Event Log: The DACS shall m aintain a log of events indicating tim e, day, m onth, year type
of event, account num ber, area num ber, user ID, point text, user text and
primary/secondary event route. The system shall allow the following characteristics:
1. The DACS shall be capable of storing up to 1000 events
2. The DACS shall support the printing of these events on up to 3 local printers.
3. The DACS shall support the printing of these events on a local printer.
4. The DACS shall support viewing of logs locally at the ACC and rem otely via an upload
to a rem ote central station com puter running the RPS software.
5. The DACS shall provide notification via a report to the DACR when the event log
reaches a program m able "percent full capacity". This allows retrieval of stored events
via RPS to prevent any loss of event history.
6. Group, signal type and area can route events to specific printers.
7. Each DACR shall be designated as a primary, backup, or duplicate destination for
each report group. Assigning an event to m ultiple routing groups provides for
duplicate destinations for the event. The transmission of grouped events allows the
reporting of different types of information to different rem ote DACRs.
L. Testing, Diagnostic, and Program m ing Facilities: The DACS shall be capable of sending
(m anually or automatically) test and status reports to remote DACRs.
1. The DACS shall be capable of sending autom atic tests daily, weekly or once every 28
days. Autom atic test tim es shall be program mable to provide an offset of up to 24
hours from the current time.
2. Autom atic test reports shall be programm able to be deferred by one test interval if
any other report is transm itted in the current interval.
3. Autom atic test reports and rem ote system access for diagnostics shall be supported
via a rem ote central station com puter with Rem ote Program ming Software (RPS).
4. The DACS shall be program mable locally or rem otely. Program ming shall be
accomplished via a com mand center or a com puter with a rem ote program mer and
diagnostic software package (RPS).
5. The DACS shall allow an on-site user to initiate rem ote program ming while on-line
with the servicing location. The rem ote program ming device m ust provide a com pare
feature and allow for downloading either the stored program or the (un)m odified
program copied from the panel.
6. The DACS shall allow the local programm ing option to be disabled and m ust provide
a m ethod to program a panel while no one is on prem ises, when the panel shares a
line with an answering m achine.
7. The DACS shall accom m odate IP Diagnostic to verify settings and operation of the
network interface m odules; Host name, MAC address, IPV4 address assignm ent.
The IP Connection test shall include; Link test to verify physical cable integrity, Ping
test to verify gateway response, ping test to verify address on the internet.
8. W ireless point diagnostics shall include signal strength and device states of
registered wireless points in the system .
9. The num ber of system testing and program ming sessions shall be restricted via the
use of program locking features and passwords. Passcode protection in excess of
sixteen m illion com binations is required.
10. New m odules support enhanced diagnostics through RPS
M. Miscellaneous Features: Program m able alarm output tim er, 31 programm able entry delay
tim es, exit delay program mable by area, individually programm able point of protection text,
point bypassing, key switch arm ing capability with LED outputs, and fire verification.
N. False Alarm Reduction: The DACS shall com ply with all ANSI SIA CP-01 requirements for
false alarm reduction
O. Ambush Detection: The DACS shall include an early am bush feature that requires that the
user disarm , and then inspect the facility within a specified tim e period, before entering their
passcode or a different authorized passcode again. If the user does not enter a passcode a
second tim e, a duress event is generated. If the user does enter a passcode within the
specified tim e period, the system disarm s.
P. Two m an rule: The DACS shall include a program m able feature that requires 2 separate
passcodes to be entered to disarm the system . After 1 passcode is entered, the system will
prom pt for a second passcode to be entered on the same ACC. W ithout the second
