3.1.1
Cable/Wire Runs
NFPA 70; Section 16402 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, and as specified
herein.
3.1.2
ASTM B 32. For soldering electrical connections, use composition Sn60, for
general purposes; use composition Sn62 or Sn63, for special purposes. Flux
shall conform to ASTM B 32.
3.1.3
Galvanizing
Ferrous metal shall be hot-dip galvanized in accordance with ASTM A 123/A
123M. Screws, bolts, nuts, and other fastenings and supports shall be
corrosion resistant.
3.1.4
Tamper Switches
Install tamper switches to initiate an alarm signal when the door or cover
is moved as little as 6.35 mm 1/4 inch from the normally closed position.
Locate tamper switches within enclosures, cabinets, housings, boxes,
raceways, and fittings to prevent direct line of sight to any internal
components and to prevent tampering with switch or circuitry. Conceal
tamper switch mounting hardware so that the location of the switch within
the enclosure cannot be determined from the exterior.
3.1.5
Fungus Treatment
Completely treat system components for fungus resistance. Treating
materials containing mercury-bearing fungicide shall not be used. Treating
materials shall not increase the flammability of the material or surface
being treated nor cause skin irritation or other personnel injury during
fabrication, transportation, operation, or maintenance of the equipment, or
during use of the finished items when used for the purpose intended.
3.1.6
Conduit
Install in accordance with NFPA 70 and Section 16402 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM.
3.1.7
Underground Cable Installation
Underground conductors connecting protected structures and objects to the
central alarm updating and display unit shall be run direct burial or in
conduit as specified in Section 16302N UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION AND
DISTRIBUTION. Coaxial cable shall not be spliced. If permitted, cables
connecting protected structures and objects to the security control console
shall be sized such that initially only approximately 60 percent of the
circuit pairs will be used. Cable pairs not used shall be reserved for
future use of additional detection circuits.
3.2
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
3.2.1
IDS Operational Test
Test shall ensure that the requisite degree of intrusion detection is
provided. Initially, test each sensor and subsystem component
individually. [Test glass breakage sensors by using test units supplied by
SECTION 13702N
