3) When determining whether card reader, electronic locking/unlocking, or<br />
monitoring should be specified, it is important to evaluate occupancy and use<br />
patterns for the facility. Where possible, points <strong>of</strong> highest traffic shall be<br />
equipped with electronic hardware for daily locking/unlocking. Card readers<br />
shall be installed on well-lit, easily identifiable and visible entrances. Monitoring<br />
and local audible (“prop”) alarms shall be configured for all entrances to<br />
discourage propping <strong>of</strong> doors after hours. Keys shall not be issued to these<br />
doors, eliminating problems and costs associated with lost/misplaced/stolen<br />
keys and associated rekeying expenses. Lost cards can be immediately<br />
deactivated and new credentials issued without impacting other facility users.<br />
4) Selection <strong>of</strong> Electronic Door Hardware:<br />
Selection <strong>of</strong> electronic door hardware will vary depending on many factors,<br />
including facility design and construction, architectural style, life safety and<br />
building code issues. A/E shall follow the general guidelines below when<br />
specifying electronic door hardware:<br />
a) Function shall be fail secure<br />
i) Hardware provides free mechanical egress<br />
ii) No connection required to building fire alarm system<br />
Note: certain life safety or fire code provisions may dictate the use <strong>of</strong> fail-safe<br />
hardware and interconnection with the building fire alarm system for specific<br />
doors. These exceptions must be coordinated with the Project Manager and<br />
reviewed by the <strong>University</strong>’s access control specialist.<br />
b) Electric locks, electric strikes and electric trim shall be 24Vdc. Provide<br />
filtered & regulated 24Vdc to power electric strikes, locks, and trim.<br />
c) Electric latch retraction devices (See INT 2.2.8 for approved equipment list):<br />
i) Typically require a manufacturer-specific power supply high in-rush<br />
current dictates conductor size and maximum cable length to power<br />
supply<br />
(1) Max cable length may dictate installation <strong>of</strong> power supply near door<br />
(2) Where possible, mount power supply in access control closet<br />
ii) Power supply to be mounted in central access control closet, adjacent<br />
to Squadron controls, with 120V AC cord & plug connection.<br />
iii) Specify hardware which includes battery backup integral to power<br />
supply<br />
d) ADA doors with power operators shall be equipped with electric strike or<br />
electric latch retraction device and be interconnected with the electronic<br />
access controls.<br />
