Electronic Access Control/Intrusion Detection
TT. Right-to-Left Language Support:
1. The system shall support Languages requiring a display from right-to-left including, but not limited to,
Arabic and Hebrew.
UU. Access Control Panels: Continental Access Control Panels used by CardAccess 3000 are modular in design.
The access control panels (or panels for short) are also referred to as controllers. Two door, four door and
eight door panel versions are available.
1. General Features:
a. PC Board: The Access Control Panel shall be a microprocessor controlled solid-state electronic
device and will include a real time clock/calendar on board. The Access Control Panel shall be
compliant with UL294, or an equal. A subset of the ACS database sufficient enough to support
access and alarm functions for its designated readers and points will be able to be stored at the
Access Control Panel. In the event of communication loss, the Access Control Panel will continue
to function without any degradation in operation, and will provide storage for at least 1000 and
utmost 210,000 transactions. These stored events will be uploaded to the CPU automatically upon
the restoration of communications.
b. Modem Communication: The Access Control Panel shall be capable of operating over standard
telephone lines using external modems. An Access Control Panel will automatically initiate a dial
and will upload stored information in case the storage buffer is 80% full or in case a user defined
alarm condition occurs. The CPU shall have the ability to automatically request information from
the remote Access Control Panels based on a user defined time schedule.
c. Direct Communication: The Access Control Panel shall communicate via an RS232 or RS422 link
directly to the ACS CPU. No additional interface equipment will be required. The Access Control
Panel shall be capable of being configured in either repeat mode (serial) or in multi-drop mode.
When in repeat mode, the distance between control panels shall be up to 4000 feet,
communicating at 57,600 baud, without the use of modems or line drivers.
d. Electrical Noise Suppression: The controller shall have “Built-In” electrical noise suppression
devices to protect the on-board microprocessor from relay-generated transients.
e. Electrical Surge Protection: The controller shall have “Built-In” electronic surge protection devices
to protect controller circuitry to which external connections are made.
f. Battery Backup: The Access Control Panel shall include, as a standard, at least 4 hours of battery
backup. The Access Control Panel also shall include internal battery backup to maintain controller
database, program, time and date during a power loss.
g. Diagnostic LED’s: The Access Control Panel shall have an LED display to indicate power,
processor heartbeat, and the transmission and receipt of programmed data.
h. Biometric Readers/Card Readers/Keypads: The Access Control Panel shall support entry/exit
points that allow for a keypad to be used in conjunction with the reader, and the keypad accepts
user-definable PIN codes. Systems requiring additional ports for the addition of a keypad are not
acceptable. The Access Control Panel shall be able to support multiple card technologies (such as
Proximity, Smart Readers, Smart Cards, Biometric-Fingerprint, Iris Scan, Hand Geometry, Face
Recognition, Magnetic Stripe, Wiegand, etc.) concurrently without the need for additional software
or hardware.
i. Inputs: Without the need for any additional hardware, each Access Control Panel will be able to
monitor supervised alarm inputs. By means of software download, the Access Control Panel shall
allow the user to decide whether the alarms must function as supervised or non-supervised inputs.
j. Outputs: Without the need for any additional hardware, each Access Control Panel will be able to
control user-definable Form C relay outputs.
2. Hardware Options:
a. Alarm Expander Board: Additional inputs will be able to be made available by means of expansion
boards mounted in the Access Control Panel enclosure. Each expansion board has a minimum of
16 supervised inputs. Up to three (3) expansion boards are allowed for each Access Control Panel.
b. Relay Expander Board: Additional outputs will be able to be made available by means of expansion
boards mounted either in the Access Control Panel enclosure, or in the additional enclosures.
Each expansion board shall have a minimum of 16 Form C relay outputs and 8 inputs. The Super-
Two, Superterm and Turbo Superterm Access Control Panels shall be allowed to have a maximum
of three expansion boards.
