PART 1  GENERAL

 

1.01   SECTION INCLUDES

 

A.   HVAC Controls

 

1.02   RELATED SECTIONS

 

A.      Section 15940 - HVAC Sequence of Operation

 

1.03      GENERAL SCOPE

                         

A.      Furnish and install a Johnson Controls Metasys/electric Facility Management control system. System controllers shall be connected to the existing campus Metasys Facilities system. Provide all labor, materials, equipment (network control units, etc.) and services necessary for complete installation of the control system. All software and system operations shall be documented with the engineer prior to being installed and software downloaded to the digital panels. All control wiring, system programming, and owner training shall be included to fill the intent of the specification. This shall consist of control systems for:

1.       Air Handlers

2.       Existing Zone Operations

 

B.      Control systems bid by wholesalers, contractors and franchised dealers or any firm whose principal business is not that of manufacturing and installing Metasys Facility Management Systems are not acceptable. Control system installing office must be a factory authorized office of the control system manufacturer.

 

C.      Control system design and installation must be under the supervision of a registered professional engineer in the full time employment of the control system manufacturers Youngstown branch office. Contact Joe Genova @ 1-330-270-4391 for control quotation.

 

D.      After completion of installation, adjust and calibrate all control components provided under this contract.  Place control system in complete operating condition and instruct operating personnel.  Provide further field adjustments when directed by Consulting Engineer.

 

E.      Control system herein specified to be free from defects in workmanship and material under normal use and service.  If, within twelve (12) months from date of acceptance by Architect, any equipment herein described is proved defective in workmanship or material, it will be adjusted, repaired, or replaced free of charge by the Control Contractor.

 

 

PART 2  PRODUCTS

 

2.01   COMPONENTS

 

A.      Immersion Sensors:  Proportioning, adjustable throttling range, blank covers, suitable for vibrating surface mounting, corrosion resistant with separate immersion wells.

 

B.      Valve Operators:  Smooth, proportioning, having delivered force adequate for mechanical load with integral positive positioning relays where required.

 

C.      Valves:  Smooth, proportioning, self-adjusting Teflon packing spring loaded, compact, style and duty as required for specific application.  Furnish to HVAC Contractor for installation by him.

 

D.      Standard Control Panels:  Lexan enclosure with locked, hinged door, flush mounted indicators and switches, plastic engraved identification labels.

 

E.      Electric Wiring:

1.       All electrical control wiring to be provided by Facilities Management Contractor.  All power wiring to be provided by Electrical Contractor.

 

F.      General Product Description

1.       The Facility Management System shall be capable of integrating multiple building functions including equipment supervision and control, alarm management, energy management, and historical data collection and archiving.

2.       The system shall be modular in nature, and shall permit expansion of both capacity and functionality through the addition of sensors, actuators, standalone DDC panels, and operator devices.

3.       System architectural design shall eliminate dependence upon any single device for alarm reporting and control execution.  Each DDC panel shall operate independently by performing its own specified control, alarm management, operator I/O, and historical date collection.  The failure of any single component or network connection shall not interrupt the execution of control strategies at other operational devices.

4.       Standalone DDC panels shall be able to access any data from, or send control commands and alarm reports directly to any other DDC panel or combination of panels on the network without dependence upon a central processing device.  Standalone DDC panels shall also be able to send alarm reports to multiple operator workstations without dependence upon a central processing device.

 

G.     Networking/Communications

1.       The design of the FMS shall network Standalone DDC Panels.  Inherent in the system’s design shall be the ability to expand or modify the network either via the a local area network, or auto-dial telephone line modem connections, or via a combination of the two networking schemes.

2.       The controller for the absorber installation shall be connected to the campus automation (N2 bus). The local controller shall transmit all alarms, as noted in the sequence of operation, to the campus central terminals.

 

H.      Local Area Network

                         1.      DDC Panel Support: DDC panels shall directly reside on a local area network such that communications may be executed directly between controllers, directly between workstations, and between controllers and workstations on a peer-to-peer basis.

                         2.      Dynamic Data Access:  All operator devices, either network resident or connected via dial-up modems, shall have the ability to access all point status and application report data, or execute control functions for any and all other devices via the local area network.  Access to data shall be based upon logical identification of building equipment.

                         3.      Access to system data shall not be restricted by the hardware configuration of the facility management system.  The hardware configuration of the FMS network shall be totally transparent to the user when accessing data or developing control programs.

                         4.      General Network Design:  Network design shall include the following provisions:

a.       High speed data transfer rates for alarm reporting, quick report generation from multiple controllers, and upload/download efficiency between network devices.  The minimum baud rate shall be 1 Megabaud.

b.       Support of any combination of controllers and operator workstations directly connected to the local area network.  A minimum of 50 devices shall be supported on a single local area network.

c.       Detection and accommodation of single or multiple failures of either workstations, DDC panels or the network media.  The network shall include provisions for automatically reconfiguring   itself to allow all operational equipment to perform their designated functions as effectively as possible in the event of single or multiple failures.

d.       Message and alarm buffering to prevent information from being lost.

e.       Error detection, correction, and retransmission to guarantee data integrity.

f.         Default device definition to prevent loss of alarms or data, and ensure alarms are reported as quickly as possible in the event an operator device does not respond.

g.       A PC workstation may serve as an operator device on a local area network, as well as a dial-up workstation for multiple auto-dial DDC panels or networks.  Alarm and data file transfers handled via dial-up transactions shall not interfere with local area network activity, nor shall local area network activity keep the workstation from handling incoming calls.
