Combined Code_2017

(f) All BDA equipment, cable and antenna systems should be grounded with a single point ground system of five (5) ohms or less. The ground system must include an internal tie point within three (3) feet of the amplification equipment. System transient suppression for the telephone circuits, ac power, radio frequency (RF) cabling and grounding protection are required as needed. (g) A minimum average in-building field strength of 3.9uV (-95 dBm) throughout 95% of the area of each floor of the building for inbound and outbound signals transmitted from or to the appropriate emergency service radio systems providing coverage for public safety services (law enforcement, fire, and medical) to the building. (95% coverage or reliability means the radio will receive and transmit 100% of the time within 95% of the building's area) If the field strength OUTSIDE the building, where the receive antenna system for the in-building system is located, is less than the -95 dBm, then the minimum required in- building field. Strength shall equal the field strength being delivered to the receive antenna of the building. (h) The Noise floor must be determined and the in-bound signal must be 15 dBm above the noise floor determined level, meeting the requirements of current version of TSB-88A standards. This BDA System should also accommodate the 24 MHz of public safety spectrum, being redesigned for broadband use to allow for nationwide interoperable broadband communications by public safety users. The frequencies used shall be those that are currently in use by the Morrisville Fire/Rescue Department. The install should include all appropriate bi-directional Amplifier/repeaters, cable hangers, coax cable extensions (measured to distance and cut to size), RF splitters, proper antenna placement, proper antenna type, RF connectors, lightning protection, and grounding equipment. Installation should be as clean and professional as possible to minimize visual impact at each location. The vendor is required to furnish (2) complete bound system manuals upon completion of the system installation along with one electronic copy. This manual should include the following; a complete instructions manual for all equipment in the system be provided, Instructions for the determination of trouble reporting, including all trouble report telephone numbers and personnel contact information be provided with the system. A complete schematics and parts list for all equipment in the system. (i) The BDA System must be rebanding capable and/or compliant. (j)
