1.2.2 General Control and Annunciation
The following paragraphs describe the operation for various devices controlled and annunciated at locking control
panels.
1.2.2.1 Hardware
NOTE: Coordinate with door schedule shown in the architectural drawing.
Operational and annunciation provisions shall be provided for each electrically controlled and monitored hardware
set as specified herein. Refer to architectural door schedule for door hardware information. Type of hardware
shall be in accordance with Section 08 71 63 DETENTION HARDWARE.
a. Annunciation: Annunciate each door and gate equipped to be monitored and controlled in
the following manner. Single red indicator on the locking control panel shall illuminate on
nonsecure condition at the door or gate. On swing doors and gates, the annunciation shall occur
on the first movement of the locking mechanism. Door and gate position switches shall cause
the annunciation on nonsecured position. Secured status of controlled doors and gates shall
be monitored by either two or more position switches which include but are not limited to door
on gate position, lockbar position, roller bolt position, latch-bolt position, and motor limit
switches. Nonsecure condition shall be annunciated by any one nonsecure switch on a given hardware
set.
b. Cell and shower door solenoid: Where cell doors are equipped with solenoid locks, the following
operation shall apply. Pressing the "unlock" switch of an "unlock - lock" pair of membrane
switches on a locking control panel shall cause the hardware to unlock and remain unlocked until
the "lock" switch is pressed. When the "lock" action is taken, the lock bolt shall extend,
regardless of whether the door has been opened or not, except on deadbolt locks. Group unlock
provisions shall allow hardware to be held unlocked.
c. Corridor and miscellaneous solenoid: Where corridor and other doors are equipped with solenoid
locks, and the specific door operation is not given elsewhere in this section, the following
operation shall apply. Pressing the "unlock" switch of an "unlock/lock" pair of membrane switches
on a locking control panel shall cause the hardware to unlock and remain unlocked until the
"lock" switch is pressed. When the "lock" action is taken, the lock bolt shall extend, regardless
of the door having been opened or not, except on deadbolt locks.
d. Key relock doors solenoid: Where fire egress doors are equipped with hardware which, when
electrically unlocked, requires a key action at the door to relock, the following operation
shall apply: Unlocking the door shall require the simultaneous pressing of two unlock membrane
switches. Releasing the switches on the locking control panel shall cause the operating power
to return to the locked state.
e. Deadbolt solenoid locks: Where doors are equipped with electrically operated deadbolt locks,
the operation shall be as specified for solenoid locks on noncell doors, except the bolt shall
not extend until the controls are in the "lock" condition and the door is closed.
f. Motorized overhead gates: Where motor operated gates are installed, the following operation
shall apply. Pressing the "open" momentary action switch shall cause the gate to travel to
the locked open position unless the "stop" momentary action switch is pressed, which will stop
the travel of the gate. Pressing the "close" momentary action switch shall cause the gate to
travel to the locked closed position unless the "stop" switch is pressed. Pressing the "open"
or "close" switch while the gate is traveling in the opposite direction shall have no effect.
1.2.2.2 Hardware Related Functions
NOTE: Architectural door schedule should indicate those doors that require
interlocking.
NOTE: Specify night secure function for housing unit locking control panels
that control prisoner cells and shower doors.
a. Group control: For pretrial and female locking control panels requiring group operation
of hardware, the following operation shall apply: Pressing the "open" or "unlock" membrane
switch shall cause hardware in the associated group to unlock and cause the group control red
LED to illuminate. Pressing the "off" switch shall cause the hardware to react to the condition
required by the individual hardware controls, and the group annunciator shall extinguish. On
group unlock, solenoid locks shall unlock in half second intervals.
b. Interlocks: Where two or more doors with electric hardware form a Sallyport or where interlocks
between hardware sets occur, the operation of the individual hardware sets are as specified
in this section with the following modifications. The controls shall allow only one of the
hardware sets to be in the nonsecured condition at any given time unless the interlock bypass
function is activated. Upon simultaneously pressing the two interlock bypass switches, the
red interlock bypass LED shall flash on panels which control hardware in the same interlock
scheme and allow the operator to control hardware with no interlock restrictions. By pressing
the interlock bypass switch the second time, the interlock scheme shall be reactivated. Locking
control panels controlling interlocked doors shall have the interlock bypass switch and annunciator
provisions. An amber "interlock active" LED shall illuminate on panels controlling hardware
in a given interlock scheme when one or more of the interlocked doors are nonsecured. A separate
annunciator for each interlock scheme on each controlling panel shall annunciate the "interlock
active" condition. Once an interlock scheme has become active, activation of other unlock controls
for hardware in the same scheme shall have no effect and where the controls are specified as
maintained contact devices and more than one has been placed in the unlock condition while the
interlocks are active, upon resecuring of the original hardware one and only one of the additional
doors shall open in response to the multiple unlock switch position. Upon simultaneous operation
of central devices in an interlock scheme, one and only one shall cause a hardware set to become
nonsecure.
c. Monitored doors and gates: Doors which are equipped with hardware which monitors the secure
status and are not electrically operated, shall be monitored in the following manner: The door
or gate red LED shall function as specified for annunciation above, except as described in this
paragraph. Control panels monitoring monitored-only doors and gates shall provide night secure
provisions. The night secure provisions shall secure all doors and gates unless specific groups
are required. Once the doors or gates are secured, this function shall alert the control officer
of unsecured conditions. Pressing the night secure switch on membrane switch panels shall cause
the secure mode to become active and the secure green LED to illuminate. Upon activation, hardware
in the nonsecure condition or hardware which becomes nonsecure shall cause an audible alarm
to sound and the status LED for the nonsecure hardware to latch illuminated until reset. Pressing
the silence switch shall silence the audible alarm. The secure function shall annunciate subsequent
alarms audibly and visually in the manner specified above. Pressing the secure reset switch
shall release latched indicators, extinguish the secure green LED, and return the panel to normal
operation.
d. Shower and cell call-in: For the shower and cell doors in the pretrial and female areas,
the following operation shall apply: Pressing the momentary action pushbutton in the cell or
shower shall cause an amber LED associated with the cell or shower on the locking control panel
to flash and an audible signal shall sound. Pressing the control panel momentary action silence
switch on the control panel shall silence the audible signal and cause the LED to illuminate
constantly. Pressing the control panel momentary action call-in reset switch shall extinguish
the LED. Once an individual cell or shower has been received at the control panel and has been
silenced, additional activations of the same cell or shower call-in switch shall have no effect.
Silencing one call-in shall not inhibit other calls from being received.
