TCs, conduits, wireways, etc.) of the Facility. The specifying engineer shall at a minimum design and install the System using the Pathway Design Handbook H-088C3, TIA/EIA Telecommunications Building Wiring Standards, and VA’s Facility Chief of Information Technologies (IT) instructions, as approved in writing by the VA. 13. Design a new system conforming to current and accepted digital industrial/commercial cable and RF distribution standards. The distribution cable installation shall be fully coordinated with the VA prior to the start of installation. 14. Specify cable in this system (i.e. backbone, outside plant, inside plant, and station cabling) to conform to this Section and to accepted industry and OEM standards with regards to size, color code, and insulation. The pair twists of any pair shall not be exactly the same as any other pair within any unit or sub-unit of cables that are bundled in twenty-five (25) pairs or less. 15. The System cables shall be protected conduit. The specifying engineer shall include Section 26 05 33, RACEWAYS AND BOXES FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS in the specifications for the work. Some areas of this Facility may be considered “plenum”. If any of wire and cable used in support of the installation in those areas is not in conduit (this guidance does not grant relief from the protection): then the cabling must comply with national and relevant codes pertaining to plenum environments. Review the VA’s cable and wire requirements with the VA prior to installation to confirm the type of environment present at each location. 16. Design outside plant and inside plant cables that furnish the number of cable pairs required in accordance with the System requirements described herein. Fully coordinate and obtain approval of the design with the original equipment manufacturer and the VA prior to installation. 17. Addition of advanced meters shall in no way affect any existing utility meter or its components. This meter
It shall be capable of merging two existing standard databases into a single standard database. Metering Software: Basic Requirements: Fully compatible with and based on the approved operating system. Password-protected operator login and access; three levels, minimum. Password-protected setup functions. Context sensitive on-line help. Capability of creating, deleting, and copying files; and automatically maintaining a directory of all files, including size and location of each sequential and random-ordered record. Capability for importing custom icons into graphic views to represent alarms and I/O devices. Automatic and encrypted backups for database and history; automatically stored at the Site Data Aggregation Device and encrypted with a nine-character alphanumeric password, which must be used to restore or read data contained in backup. Operator audit trail for recording and reporting all changes made to user-defined system options. Workstation and Server Functions: Support other client PCs on the LAN and WAN. Maintain recorded data in databases accessible from other PCs on the LAN and WAN. Data Formats: User-programmable export and import of data to and from commonly used Microsoft Windows spreadsheet, database, billing, and other applications; using dynamic data exchange technology. Option to convert reports and graphics to HTML format. Interactive graphics. Option to send preprogrammed or operator designed e-mail reports. Option to serve information to third-party applications via Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control using open standards.
power system graphics, in formats widely used for such drafting; to include the following: Site plan. Floor plans. Equipment elevations. Single-line diagrams. Custom graphic screens configured, not programmed, using tools available within the software. Alarms: Display and record alarm messages from discrete input and controls outputs, according to user programmable protocol. Functions requiring user acknowledgment shall run in background during computer use for other applications and override other presentations when they occur. Trending: Display and record data acquired in real-time from different meters or devices, in historical format over time; unlimited as to interval, duration, or quantity of trends. Spreadsheet functions of sum, delta, percent, average, mean, standard deviation, and related functions applied to recorded data. Charting, statistical, and display functions of standard Windows-based spreadsheet. Report Generation: User commands initiate the reporting of a list of current alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions in system or a log of past events. Print a record of user-defined alarm, supervisory, and trouble events on workstation printer. Sort and report by device name and by function. Report type of signal (alarm, supervisory, or trouble), description, date, and time of occurrence. Differentiate alarm signals from other indications. When system is reset, report reset event with same information concerning device, location, date, and time. BACnet: Site Data Aggregation Device shall have demonstrated interoperability during at least one BMA Interoperability Workshop and shall substantially conform to BACnet Operator Workstation device profile as specified in ASHRAE 135, BACnet Annex L.
