Design Practice Guidelines

1.0 General Overview

The University of Alberta has adopted strict guidelines for the implementation of access
control within the multi-campus environment. It is strongly recommended that the design
professional review the Access Control/Security Systems policies and procedures with
attention focused to the Security Services Matrix before undertaking design development.
The matrix summarizes security services available, budget pricing, and the associated
ongoing costs to the faculty.

The University of Alberta has standardized on the Lenel Enterprise Edition database
software platform for all access control system implementations on all campuses. While the
centralized database and services are being implemented and existing installations are
converted to the Lenel system, some installations may, at the discretion of the Access
Control System (ACS) office, be asked to implement their access control requirements on
the existing RCMS system and will be converted to the Lenel system at a later date.

ACS Office (Access Control System Office)
The University of Alberta has created a project office specifically for the access control
system project roll out on campus. The ACS office is responsible for design review,
installation inspections, programming and commissioning for all the UofA Lenel access
control systems. The ACS office serves as the point of contact for all access control related
questions in either new construction or retrofit situations. It is extremely important that
contact and coordination is maintained with the ACS Office through the duration of the
project from design to post commissioning/construction. Throughout the project various
inspections and forms will be required by the ACS office. Further information can be found
in this document as well as the commissioning documentation as posted on the University of
Alberta website.
ACS Commissioning Test Protocol
The participation of ACS office does not replace the normal coordination between the Project
Management Office and the contractor.

Page6 of51
2.0 Design Practices

2.1 Pre Requisites
Prerequisites to Design:
Obtain a written University of Alberta Protective Services (UAPS) threat level and risk
assessment, including CPTED review prior to undertaking any design activities.

Prerequisites to Tender:
A completed coordination review with the door security hardware listing.
A design and programming review completed by the ACS office for compliance, of
the proposed design package to be issued for tender. This is not a security or risk
management review.
A Pre-Tender Project Review Form with approval from the ACS office that the design
meets current standards and sufficient information is present to provide
programming services for the project.
2.2 Design Review Documents
Suggested review documents in addition to this document:
University of Alberta Security policies and procedures.
Door Details as posted on the University website.
Door Hardware schedule
Commissioning Test Protocol as posted on the University website.
2.3 Deviation from Specifications Process
In the event a situation arises when it is not possible to implement any part of the
University of Alberta typical design standards, a request must be submitted to the ACS
office in writing by completing the Specification Deviation Request form and including
redline markups of the proposed changes and all relevant documentation outlining the
reason for the change request and a proposed solution. A response will be returned in
writing from the ACS Office. Changes made without the approval of the ACS Office may be
rejected at the consultant/contractor cost.
2.4 Riser Diagram/FMNet Connectivity
The University has established a dedicated network backbone infrastructure which has a
multitude of systems attached including fire alarm, mass notification, security systems,
emergency communications and building automation systems. This infrastructure is
referred to as FMNet. Most of the existing buildings on campus have a network switch
located on the premises. The ACS office will assign a connection port(s) to the project. This
point of connection is the demarcation line established by the ACS office.

Single mode fiber comm room to comm room interconnects should be utilized to link
switches outside of the FMNet demarcation point. All fiber connections to ACS switches
must utilize LC connections.

Page7 of51
When configuring a riser diagram and assigning RS 485 addresses to system boards for new
construction both comm channels are to be utilized. Up to a maximum of 12 of the 16
available addresses shall be allocated during the design phase on each comm channel. In an
existing system that uses decentralized communication and power distribution the designer
all at his/her discretion utilize any available addresses within the system as a cost savings
measure.

The riser diagram must clearly indicate ISC communication connection back to the nearest
FMNet demarcation point. Other required information includes the make and model of
every switch, IP address and subnet information and the corresponding comm room location
for each. IP address information will be available by submitting a request in writing to the
ACS office.
2.5 Standard Communication Room Layout
A typical standard communication room layout can be found on the University website.

Interior power layout for the access control system will start with an LNL AL-600-ULX-4CB6
with all subsequent enclosures being LNL-CTX6 with an Altronix PD8ULCB added and
installed allowing for power distribution from the first enclosure.
2.6 Standard Cabinet Layout
A typical standard cabinet layout is utilized by the University and is to be followed on all
access control system designs. Doors of the enclosures are NOT to be used for any other
Lenel boards other than a Lenel ISC. The ISC must be mounted in the bottom corner of the
enclosure door with sufficient wiring slack to allow the door to fully open without putting any
strain on the cables.

Doors are to be utilized for future expansion at the sole discretion of the University. If a
situation arises where the designer feels there is justification in using the door for an
alternate board, a request must be submitted in writing using the Specification Deviation
Request form complete with redline markups of the proposed changes and all relevant
documentation outlining the reason for the change request to the ACS Office. Only after
written approval by the ACS Office is received can installation on the door proceed. The
bottom two board slots on the Lenel cabinet door are to be marked Do Not Use on all
comm room layout drawings.

The first board is to be installed starting at the bottom of the enclosure, moving upward as
required.

The interior of the Lenel cabinet installation shall be completed so the cabinet is clean, all
wires are tidy, secure and labeled as specified. When bringing the cable into the Lenel
cabinet the yellow jacket is to be pulled in approximately 1-2 inches and clearly marked
with the corresponding door number. The cable jacketing can then be stripped as the
cables are brought to the board where they can then be broken out into the individual wires.

At times it is desirable to rough in conduit during construction for the addition of future
readers to be added to a facility. The security design professional shall give consideration
for this by showing these future proposed additions as spare in the cabinet space
assignment required for the ACS review. The additional system boards are not to be
included; however the space allocation is to be observed in the design process.

Page8 of51
Any Cabling pulled in to the junction box is to be clearly labeled with the corresponding door
number prior to entering the Lenel cabinet. If cable was pulled for future installation the
label in the junction box must identify the intended door number and be clearly marked
FUTURE installation with month and year cable was pulled.
2.7 Board/Cable/Wire Labeling
All boards and appropriate door hardware cables/wires must be clearly labeled and must
have the corresponding door numbers identified in the labeling to assist with future
maintenance.
2.8 Cabinet Labeling
All cabinets including Lenel and Altronix Power Supply Cabinets must be clearly labeled with
appropriate numbering indicating the enclosure number and corresponding Altronix power
supply cabinet as per detail drawings to assist with future maintenance. All cabinet labeling
must be placed on the interior of the cabinet door on the bottom left corner so as not to be
covered by any current or future board installation or wiring. Cabinet labeling on the
interior of the door must also include the corresponding door numbers wired within the
cabinet.
Power Supply cabinets are to be clearly labeled indicating the corresponding door numbers
from the Lenel cabinet so they can be quickly and easily identified for maintenance
purposes. Power supplies are to be dedicated to ACS doors and are not to be Shared with
other doors or powered devices under any circumstances.
2.9 Riser Cable Installation
All Riser cables must be installed using Velcro Wrap ONLY; the use of zip ties or other
methods of securing cables is not permitted.
2.10 Power Supply and Batteries
The Lenel power supplies are to be battery backed with a 12 volt 4 AH sealed battery. The
Lenel power supplies and the lock power supplies are to be connected to a building
emergency power circuit.

Power monitoring shall include both the Lenel power supply for AC and battery failure, as
well as door power supply.
All batteries installed MUST be clearly marked with the installation date.
2.11 Cabinet Tamper and Power Fail Wiring
All Lenel boards must be wired or jumpered as required to show cabinet tamper and power
fail alarms in Lenel. When an enclosure contains an ISC board the power fail and cabinet
tamper must be wired to the ISC board. In Lenel cabinets where no ISC is present, cabinet
tamper and power fail must be wired into the first board in the can installed in the bottom
slot, all subsequent boards must be jumpered as required within the enclosure setup.

Page9 of51
2.12 Auxiliary Wiring

2.12.1 Monitored Doors ( DPS Only)
The University has set a door contact wiring standard, if a door contact is identified
and no other hardware is associated with the door monitored door only auxiliary
wiring will be permitted. Any door which identifies a door contact and additional
functionality (i.e. REX or more) must be wired into a reader port, using the standard
composite cable; auxiliaries are NOT permitted to be used.

Request to Exit (REX) devices are NEVER permitted to be wired to only an auxiliary
point.
2.13 Egress/Perimeter Door Wiring
The security design professional shall ensure that ACS-controlled doors serving as building
exit and/or egress corridors are individually monitored for status. The grouping of door
contacts for multi door exits is unacceptable. Each door in a bank of doors shall be
individually monitored. These may be group controlled however from a single relay time
zoned output.
2.14 Pedway Door Wiring
Pedway doors are to be reviewed by the ACS office on an individual basis. Generally
pedway doors that connect two University of Alberta buildings will be treated as normal
interior doors and are to be wired to function as a single door.

In instances where the pedway will join a building not under University of Alberta control it
will typically be treated as a perimeter door and wired to those standards outlined for
Egress/Perimeter door wiring.
2.15 Wire Connections
Where wiring is to be connected to facilitate design, interior connections shall have wires
secured with beans, butt connectors or heat shrink. When making wire connections for
exterior readers, gel filled beans shall be used.
Splicing of cables is not an accepted form of installation. If a splice in the cable is required,
most likely in a retrofit scenario, a request in writing by completing and submitting the
Specification Deviation Form must be received and approved by the ACS office. The only
form of splicing that will be accepted if approval is received is a connection with solder and
heat shrink.
2.16 Terminal Strips
The use of terminal strips is only approved for Auto-operator installations and elevator
connectors if required.
During a retrofit installation if it is deemed necessary to use terminal strips a request in
writing with justification and a complete drawing mark up must be submitted to the ACS
office for review.
Page10 of51
2.17 Readers and LED Wiring

Exceedid readers have been chosen for use on the University of Alberta Campus. All
readers must show a Solid Green LED in an unlocked state and a Solid Red LED in a locked
state prior to the doors being turned over for commissioning.
2.18 Door Power Wiring
When electric door hardware is installed each connection must have its own individual
power run the use of jumpers between doors is not permitted.
2.19 Local Sounders
Local sounders are to be achieved by utilizing the built in buzzer within the reader. Special
exception may be given on a case by case basis. If consideration is to be given to installing
a piezo approval must be requested in writing from the ACS office. Changes made without
the approval of the ACS office may be rejected at the consultant/contractors cost.
2.20 Active/Inactive Door Leafs
The active door leaf is typically the right hand door on a pair of doors and has card and/or
key access.
The in-active leaf is typically the left hand door on a pair of doors with no after hours
access.
2.21 Pinpad/Keypad Reader Installation
If the installation of a keypad reader is required this must be clearly indicated on the wiring
detail drawings for programming purposes.
2.22 Pin Pad Readers for Exterior Main Entrance Doors
To be installed at the main entrance doors to allow for a command sequence to be utilized
for special events etc.
2.23 Overhead Doors
Man doors are to be treated as a standard door. When Overhead doors require Access
Control hardware, information must be requested from the ACS office in writing for current
requirements.
2.24 Auto Operators
Handicapped motorized doors must be shown on the drawings. Additional information on
current wiring standards for auto-operator doors is available from the ACS office.
2.25 Key Override
All card access controlled doors will have key override capability with keys based on the
current University standard.

Page11 of51
2.26 Future Rough Installation

Any door identified as a future ACS controlled door requires only conduit to be run for the
initial installation. All future doors must be clearly identified on the riser diagram indicating
where conduit is to be run.
If additional cabinets or power supplies will be required in the comm room to accommodate
for future expansion it is to be shown accordingly (greyed out)
2.27 Elevators
Installation of access control in elevators must be approved by the ACS Office.
Consideration must be given to elevators being connected to their own ISC.
Any floor deemed to be open access shall not be wired into the Lenel system. The terminal
strip to the elevator connections are not to be wired for such floors.
Contact the ACS office for further information and clarification on access control in
elevators.
2.28 Cable Trays/Conduit
In facilities that have employed a cable tray system the minimum size of conduit between
the cable tray and the access controlled door shall be 21mm (3/4). Facilities that do not
have a cable tray system, shall utilize 25mm (1) conduit for connection to a new door
location to allow for system expansion.
2.29 Cable
The campus has standardized on a composite cable designed for access control installations.
The specification for this cable is attached to this document and should be referenced in the
appropriate wire and conductor specification section. The standardization on this cable
allows the security design professional to follow the practices established on the sample
reference drawings. Sufficient slack should be left to allow for easy maintenance (i.e.
reader change out).

Specific approved cable part numbers can be found in the specification section of this
document.
2.30 Equipment for Design
In order for the campus to address product life cycle management, specific equipment is
approved for the security design professional to draw upon for his project. The equipment
for design is limited to the following:

Lenel 3300 ISC
Lenel 1320 DRI
Lenel 1300 SRI
Lenel 1200
Lenel 1100
Lenel LNL 600ULX-4CB6
Lenel LNL CTX6
Lenel LNL AL400ULX

Page12 of51
The hardware schedule will typically provide information on door contacts, power supplies
and electronic based locking mechanisms. The power supplies provided under the hardware
schedule are for the sole purpose of providing lock power. The Lenel power supplies
indicated previously are for providing system board power only and are not to be utilized to
provide lock power under any circumstances. Altronix has been chosen by the University
for door power use in the Access Control System.
2.31 Hardware
The University of Alberta has an approved hardware list which must be adhered too. When
drawings are submitted to the ACS office for review the most recent version of the project
hardware schedule must be included.
2.32 Comm Racks
Two standard racks have been selected for use on Access Control projects. Please select
the appropriate rack dependent on space and usage requirements for the project. Any
request for deviation from the standard or requests to locate ACS switches in shared racks
must be submitted in writing to the ACS Office.
The following racks have been approved for use on the University projects
Black Hawk Labs wall mount Unit - MRQ300S14 14U
Installation of Miniraq to be a maximum of 5 feet to the top of the cabinet.
Mid Atlantic
Item MID-WMRK4242-SVR-Cabinet WMRK Series 42 U Open frame Rack with sides 39
deep
2.33 Programming
The University Access Control System office will provide programming services for all
installations. This is necessary to avoid having numerous system suppliers competing for
access to the University database. Early coordination with the ACS office is required as
programming will not take place until after the redline drawings have been submitted to the
ACS office and proper paperwork, outlined in the commissioning document has been
received.
3.0 Drawing Standards
3.1 Drawing Package Standards (Separate)
The Access Control System drawing package must always be kept as a separate drawing
package submittal and must not be combined with any other drawing packages which may
be issued for a project.

Page13 of51
3.2 Naming/Numbering Standards

A specific board naming and number standard has been established by the University of
Alberta. A full breakout of this naming convention can be found on the sample drawings
attached to this package.
Intelligent System Controller (ISC) bus addressing is to begin with zero (0) for each
individual IP address. All subsequent boards connected to that ISC will be numbered
sequentially with the next available number being one (1).
The physical count of the boards in the system are also required to be numbered
sequentially for reference information only, with the Intelligent System Controller (ISC)
starting at one (1) as the beginning of the comm bus chain. All sequential boards to be
numbered accordingly for each riser.
3.3 Power Detail Standard
Reference is to be made to the drawing wiring standards located in this document. Power
supply connections once used shall be greyed out on the corresponding drawings related to
the specific cabinet.
3.4 Door Types
The University has specific door detail types identified. All individual doors must be labeled
with the proper door name and UofA door detail number, to help facilitate programming and
commissioning for the UofA. Example of this format can be seen on the detail drawing
attached to this package
Any door type that has an auto operator must have the auto operator and necessary wiring
connections clearly indicated on the drawings.
3.5 Hardware Schedule Information (Co-ordination Schedule)
Hardware schedule information is to be compiled and submitted as part of the ACS drawing
package. Door detail information must be included in this schedule. A sample has been
attached in this document. At a minimum the schedule must include for each door in the
drawing package:
Door number
Drawing number
General location (level and tile information)
Specific door location
Associated communications room location
Enclosure number

Sample installation and connection diagrams are included within this document to
demonstrate the minimum level of detail required for submission for an ACS review.
Submissions not meeting the minimum requirements will be returned without being
reviewed.
4.0 Internal Drawing Review Process (ACS Office)

Each project must undergo a drawing review with the ACS office prior to tender. The
purpose of the review is to ensure accuracy in design and that proper programming
information is available on the drawings to ensure a high degree of accuracy and
coordination is maintained.

This design review is solely for the purpose of design and database programming and not a
security or risk management review. University of Alberta Protective Services (UAPS) should
be contacted to provide a risk and threat evaluation assessment early in the design
development phase of the project.

Specification Notes

These specifications have been prepared to ensure consistency in the access control system
throughout the main campus and across all campus environments. They are intended to aid
the Professional in the preparation of his/her specifications on any particular project. These
documents are prepared to be all inclusive and capture many situational scenarios that may
be required to meet the intent of all the stakeholders in a particular project. These
specifications are to be edited by a knowledgeable Professional with expertise on the subject
matter.

The Professional may choose to use this document in its current format, or transcribe all
pertinent information into a document or format of his/her choosing. Regardless of the
format in which information will be presented to vendors, contractors or installers, the
responsibility of ensuring that all requirements of the design guidelines and these master
specifications are met rest solely with the Professional responsible for the design of the
Access Control system. If there is doubt as to the intent of these documents please contact
the project manager from the University of Alberta to obtain clarification.

Where, in the opinion of the Design Professional, a particular design installation or
component issue is not adequately addressed, it will be his/her responsibility to provide
supporting documentation for any modifications or alterations to these documents. Any
modifications and/or additions that may be required to ensure a proper system design shall
be brought to the attention of the University of Alberta Access Control System (ACS) project
office prior to proceeding with the work. The University of Alberta and the Professional
jointly will resolve any discrepancies, and/or update these documents with a projects
specific information.

Two different installation configurations have been identified on Campus. Older renovated
buildings used a distributed architecture for the controlling electronics. These can be
