L. Where more than two door leaves are within a door, only two reader shall be provided with
access control as specified herein. The balance of the door leaves shall be provided with door
locks and door monitor switches only.
Anti-Pass Back
Anti-pass back is a feature to prevent an authorized user from presenting a credential card to
access an area, and then ―passes back‖ that card, say through a window or another door, to an
unauthorized user, who then uses the same card to access the building.
The access control system will register when someone has entered, and when left. If someone
enters and passes back his or her credential to another person, the unauthorized user will not
gain entry, because the system will know that the proper user’s credential already has been
used to enter the building and that hasn’t yet exited.
Timed Anti-Pass Back feature allows an administrator to enter a specific time so when the card
is used, it will not work again for a specified amount of time.
Anti-pass back violations shall create local or remote alarm conditions, as well as be logged in
the access control event data recording.
The ACS System Software shall be client-server architecture to provide central management of
user rights, access policies, and credentialing. It shall be used to configure, monitor activity,
enroll users, and integrate with IT applications and store data
configuration. . The application shall have the ability to send an email notification based on
certain events, alarms, or personnel entering buildings.

association of cameras to door areas and the viewing of live or recorded video from each
associated door. The application shall view live and recorded video from the video
surveillance system upon an alarm.
K. The system shall be capable of complete configuration back-up and restore with an external
server.
L. The ACS server/appliance shall have the ability to be configured as a pair to provide high
availability, warm standby redundancy capability, with database replication. There should
be no interruption of people getting in the door when switching to the secondary High
Availability server.
M. The application shall have the ability to integrate with Optical Scanner and Proximity Card
Enrollment Readers to quickly enroll new users and badges into database.
N. The application shall provide an easy way to synchronize NTP between the Server and the
ACS Hardware.
Access controller panels shall house an on board software and microprocessor to review
incoming information and activate the system’s capabilities. An on-board database contains
the credential verifying information for the users of that particular controlled door or device.
When a credential is presented, the access controller will compare the input to its database to
determine whether access should be allowed to a particular door at a particular time and day.
serial or IP.
A. The door controller shall be compatible with the Access Control Panel
B. The communication between the main access control panel and door controller shall be via
either serial or IP.
C. The door controller shall have the ability to work as a standalone system and make local
decisions in case the communication with the main access control panel fails.
D. The door controller shall support various read head technologies such as magnetic stripe,
Wiegand, Bar Code, Smartcard, Biometric, etc.
E. The door controller shall have a minimum of 10,000 ID capability.
F. The door controller shall be UL listed
Different types of devices shall be available to provide credentials for authorized users to open
a door or access a specific device. Credential readers shall take the input from:
1. Access Card
2. Keypad Input
3. Biometric Information
Information is transmitted to the access control panel or door controller, which decides to allow
or disallow the access request based on its programming and database.
The proximity card reader transmits a specific RF frequency at all times. When a card containing
the specific access control credential coding nears the reader, the reader’s transmitted energy is
picked up by the card, which uses that energy to transmit its coded information to the reader on
a different frequency.
Proximity readers shall be either short- or long-range, with the long-range units providing a
higher RF power output to allow for longer read distances.
SMART CARDS
Smart cards contain a microchip with read and write capabilities which, in essence, makes the
card a mini computer with the ability to encrypt and authenticate the data – providing
sophisticated levels of security for communication. These cards can be used to hold biometric
access data, debit card functions, and more.
Smart cards can be read using either a contact or contact-less methodology. Contact-type
systems, where the card physically is inserted in the reader and provide higher security, as the
data from the card is not transmitted through the air.
Contact-less provides faster read/write capability and greater memory storage. Contact-less
smart cards use RF to transmit data to a reader and provides faster user interface and building
access.
KEYPADS
Keypads provide access credential, without the user having to carry or produce a physical card.
Although no physical card exists that could be potentially passed to an unauthorized user- the
keypad code itself may be told to another person.
Keypads are slower than card readers, as users must remember their code, punch it into the
keypad, and wait for the door release.
BIOMETRIC READERS
Fingerprints, palm prints, and the human iris possess individually unique characteristics that can
be used to verify a person’s identity. This biometric information can be stored within an access
control system and read by specific devices. The primary advantages of biometrics are very high
security and the elimination of specific credential devices (cards) and their related costs.
The technologies described can be used in various combinations. For example, a user can drive
an automobile into a garage, and use a proximity card to gain entry for parking. The same
user/card combination may be presented at the entry door proximity reader to allow door entry,
while the card may be used in combination with a biometric reader to allow entry to a sensitive
room.
Smart card technology allows cards to contain the biometric characteristic file of the user. The
user first enters a keypad code, presents his or her biometric input (fingerprint, iris), and has the
card read. The access system then can verify that the user keypad code presented matches the
biometric information contained on the user’s card. This can speed up the process of
verification, while eliminating the centralized storage of sensitive biometric information.
SPECIFICATIONS
To control access to an area, there must be some type of barrier, such as a gate or door, that
stops people from entering an area - unless the access system allows them in.
ELECTRIC STRIKES
Electric strikes are installed on the mechanical lock side of the door and shall allow the use of
panic hardware, so that a person inside the room or building can push the release bar to exit the

allow non-alarm exits of individuals.
REX devices shall be installed near the door, providing either manual or automatic release of the
door when people approach it. REX shall allow the door to be opened from the inside without
generating an alarm condition. Electronic REXs shall be provided for a variety of door control
options:
1. REX switch is usually a labeled for its purpose and manually pressed to open the door.
2. REX sensors use motion detection technology, such as passive infrared (PIR) detection,
which senses motion, a person standing in proximity to the door or approaching the
door. When the sensor is activated, the REX sensor shall release the door for a specified
time period, and automatically relocks the door when the door position sensor indicates
a closed position.
3. A REX pressure mat is installed near the door so that people steps on mat trips the REX
pressure switch will open the door.
4. A combination of these REX shall provide additional security.
A. Door position devices shall provide status of a door (door is open or closed) to the access
