PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Spec in RTF Format

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 The unit (Code Blue 5) shall be an easily identifiable, vandal resistant communications device that is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, multi-functional, freestanding, and constructed of heavy steel. The unit shall be aesthetically pleasing and almost impervious to damage, and include a high quality, vandal resistant, hands-free communications device, and a powerful combination blue strobe and beacon that serves to identify the unit from a great distance.

1.2 The communication system (Code Blue CB3100) shall be designed so that a single touch on the communications device button shall immediately and automatically dial a preprogrammed number. This shall simultaneously activate the blue strobe light and an optional peripheral device such as a remote preset for closed circuit television (CCTV). Immediately after establishing the phone connection with the receiving party, the communications device shall be capable of sending a signal identifying the specific unit being activated. The strobe shall continue to flash, drawing attention to the location until the receiving party terminates the call.


2.0 CONSTRUCTION

2.1 The housing shall be a concentric steel cylinder (bollard) with a 8.75 inch diameter, a .25 inch wall thickness and a height of 113.5 inches.

2.2 Tamper resistant fasteners manufactured by the McGard Company shall be used. It shall not be possible to enter the unit or remove any component without a special computer designed bit-wrench designed for this purpose. These bit-wrenches are supplied only by the manufacturer of the unit. All other types of fasteners shall not be acceptable due to the abundance of non-proprietary tools available for their removal.

2.3 The housing shall have an internal anchor baseplate that is fully welded to the cylinder two inches above its base. The baseplate shall be fabricated with a minimum .50 inch thick A-36 grade steel plate, and shall have a 4 inch diameter center hole for electrical conduit access, as well as three oblong holes on a 6 inch circular bolt pattern for anchor bolts. External mounting is not acceptable.

2.4 The unit shall have an access opening for anchor mounting and electrical wiring that is near the base of the bollard.

2.4.1 The access opening shall have a cover plate flush with the unit, whose wall thickness and radius shall be the same as the bollard. The cover plate shall fit precisely into the oopening, have a weather resistant gasket to prevent water from entering the unit, and shall be held in place by two ¼ inch by 1 inch countersunk, tamper resistant, proprietary fasteners as supplied by the manufacturer.

2.5 An opening shall be cut into the face of the housing at a point beginning 37.38 inches above its base, and continuing upward so that the opening is 12.38 inches high at its extreme rear surface, 14 inches high at the front, and 3.6 inches deep. The lowermost edge of the surface of the cut shall be sloped 25 degrees from the horizontal from rear to front. The upper edge of the opening shall be horizontal. The sides of the cutout shall be straight and parallel to one another, and the horizontal edges shall be perpendicular to the sides.

2.6 A plate of 7 gauge formed steel, with a center hole to accommodate the communications device, shall be fabricated to fit the opening in the housing. All edges of the plate and the center opening shall be straight in both planes.

2.7 The plate shall be seal welded to the housing so that the housing and plate appear to be one piece. The weld shall be ground smooth and flush with the adjoining metal so that there are no visible separations or joints.

2.8 The housing shall be capped at the top with a 3/16 inch thick steel plate with a 3 inch hole in the center. The plate shall be seal welded within the housing at the extreme upper edge. A lighting unit consisting of a combination blue strobe and beacon shall be mounted onto the plate.


3.0 MOUNTING

The freestanding unit shall be mounted onto three bolts that are set in concrete. Standard 3/4 x 24 galvanized anchor bolts with galvanized nuts and washers shall be used. Unit shall mount one half inch above the concrete to allow air movement.


4.0 ELECTRICAL

4.1 All electrical components shall have quick-disconnect terminals for easy service or removal. All wiring shall be concealed within the bollard and shall not be visible from the outside of the unit.

4.2 The unit shall require 24 VAC and draw a maximum of 2.5 amperes under normal operation. The entire unit shall be surge protected.

4.3 The speakerphone shall require 20 mA loop current at the unit. A 22 to 26 AWG gauge shielded twisted pair cable shall be used. Longer cable runs shall require the heavier gauge cable.


5.0 LIGHTS

5.1 Combination blue beacon and strobe: The unit shall have a combination lighting unit consisting of a strobe and beacon. The strobe shall generate 1,000,000 candlepower, and have a flash rate of no less than 60 flashes per minute. The beacon, which serves as an area light, shall always be illuminated. A deep blue polycarbonate prismatic refractor that distributes the light in a horizontal pattern, making the flash bright and visible even at great distances, shall cover the strobe.

5.2 Faceplate light: A long life, LED fixture shall be concealed within the unit above and directly forward of the communications device. This fixture will direct light onto the communications device faceplate, and shall be vandal resistant.
