2. Materials Required:
Cables- control cables
Cable Ties
card reader
push button
Electromagnetic lock / Electric strike
Magnetic door contact
Access control panels
2 Screw driver kit Hand Tools door device installation. (card reader,
Request puss button, Door switch,
Electro Magnetic lock)
The area in which the access control materials are to be placed shall be
identified, cleaned and without any loose soil.
Upon Placing the access control material, it will also be checked physically to
verify that the items conforms to the manufacturer's specifications, and is free
of defects, breaks and damages by transportation and manufacturing
processes.
The pipes shall be checked and cleaned thoroughly to ensure no foreign objects
are blocked prior to cable pulling process.
Pipes shall have pulling ropes installed to aid in the pulling process.
The operation of access points in the event of mains power failure and the
period, or number of transactions, required in such circumstances.
5. Installation
The following guidelines and procedures shall be followed in any ACS installation:
- Readers shall be securely mounted in a convenient position for the user adjacent to
the access point.
- Mechanisms shall be selected in accordance with the degree of security, related to
the classification, and the anticipated traffic and duty cycle of the access point to
which they are affixed.
- The existing physical strength of the access point, such as doors and frames, which
should not be significantly reduced by the fitting of the necessary locking
mechanisms and the mechanism should be selected appropriately to the strength
of the door frame.
- The transfer of electrical connections onto doors via suitable flexible cables or
other means of adequate reliability.
- Appropriate hardware where rebated and double-rebate doors are controlled.
- Necessary safety precautions where all-glass or other special doors are controlled.
- Door closing devices shall be sufficient to close and lock the door under normal
circumstances, but without undue impact upon the components of an access
control system.
- Doors shall be a satisfactory fit in the frame.
- Hinges, frame and fixings shall be adequate for the weight and proposed usage of a
door.
- Where manual or automatic override features are used, continuously rated
releases will be required.
- The capacity of the power supply shall be selected to meet the largest load likely to
be placed upon it under normal operational conditions.
- System power supplies shall be located within the controlled area in a position
secure from tampering.
- Systems incorporating fail unlocked hardware shall be provided with additional
security for the power supply unit.
- The main supply shall be permanently connected via a fused outlet i.e., not by a
plug and socket.
- Lower voltage cables shall not be brought into a power supply container through
the same entry point as any mains cables.
- Where continued operation of the system is essential during mains supply failure, a
standby power supply shall be used having the necessary capacity to support the
system for not less than the minimum period required by the customer.
- Cables shall be installed within a controlled area where practicable, cables should
be concealed.
- Where cables are exposed to possible mechanical damage or tampering, or are in
public areas, they shall be protected by suitable conduit, trunking, or armour.
Where an access point release signal passes outside of a controlled area, metal
conduit (or equivalent protection) shall be used.
- All interconnecting wiring shall be supported and its installation shall conform
to good working practice.
- Any cable joints shall be made in suitable junction boxes using either wrapped,
soldered, crimped, or screw-terminals.
- Low voltage and signal cables shall not run in close proximity to mains or other
transient carrying cables.
- Signal cables for the transmission of data or other low level signals shall be of a
type and size compatible with the rate of data transfer and anticipated levels of
electromagnetic interference.
- Low voltage cables from both mains and standby power supplies to remote
equipment shall be of sufficient size to permit satisfactory operation of the
equipment at the end of any proposed length of cable run.
- Logging of transactions.
- Annunciation of alarms.
- Blocking, validation and deletion of tokens.
- Database for the retention of token holder details with back-up copies of
corruptible data to facilitate re-establishment of the system in the event of a
failure.
- Programming of access levels and time zones.
- Period of operation following mains failure and/or storage of data by nonvolatile
means.
- Maintenance and serviceability.
The following shall be taken into consideration when siting control equipment:
- Ventilation
- Access for maintenance
- User access for archiving etc.
- Physical security and supervision
- General visibility to unauthorized persons of any displayed data.
