CONSTRUCTION STANDARD SPECIFICATION

SECTION 13943

FACILITIES CONTROL SYSTEM



PART 1 - GENERAL


1.01 SUMMARY

A.
Instrumentation and control systems required for HVAC systems and Sandia
National Laboratories Facilities Control System (FCS).

B.
Remote control units, called Modular Building Controllers (MBCs), located in
individual buildings provide local monitoring and control functions. Each MBC
communicates with an existing Facilities Control System (FCS) Host Computer in
Building 887 for remote monitoring and control purposes.

C.
SNL uses a Siemens Building Technologies, Landis Division System 600 as its
existing FCS System. All FCS control FIDs (Field Interface Devices) shall be
System 600 products.

1.02 SUBMITTALS


A.
Provide submittals in accordance with
Section 01330, "Submittal Procedures.

B.
Provide catalog and calibration data and procedures for all sensors, switches, and
controllers as part of submittals.

C.
Provide control diagrams in the form of shop drawings for each system or sub-
system. Use the control diagrams included in the contract drawings for this
purpose. Each diagram shall be altered to show all proposed controls and
controlled devices, together with name, catalog number, set point, and action of
each controlled device.

D.
Furnish reproducible copies of all contract drawings for use in preparing there
shop drawings.

E.
Point verification forms shall be submitted for all points that will be installed as
part of the FCS. These forms shall be based on the point verification tests
(PVTs) defined in Part 3 of this specification. Once approved, these forms shall
be used during the startup verification phase of this work.

13943-2
FACILITIES CONTROL SYSTEM


December 1, 2002

F.
Detailed functional performance tests (FPTs) that test all aspects of the sequence
of operation. These aspects include the testing of safeties, PID loops, emergency
switch over routines, alarm enunciation, temperature control, air volume control,
pressurization controls, flow control, fume hood control, graphics, etc. The test
procedures shall be comprehensive step-by-step procedures that can be repeated
by different individuals with the same expected outcome. Equipment to be tested
shall include the supply and exhaust Air Handler Systems, Hot Water System,
Chilled Water System, Variable Volume Terminal Units, and Fan Coil Unit
controllers.

1.03 QUALITY
ASSURANCE

A.
The contractor shall furnish, install, adjust, calibrate, and make ready for use all
required devices as stated in the controls equipment schedule, on the drawings,
wiring, instrument air piping, and accessories required for a complete and totally
functioning HVAC control system. SNL shall only furnish the MBC cabinet,
Controller Modules, Power Supplies and I/O modules to the contractor.

B.
The contractor shall provide all power, FCS, and interlock wiring as required by
the drawings and specification. This work includes all trenching, coring, etc.
necessary to support installation of the wiring systems.

C.
Unless otherwise specified Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) will provide the
PPCL programming, code and graphics. SNL will provide, load, and checkout
the PPCL and point database and perform controls system functional test.

D.
The contractor will perform all start-up, database, and programming for the
Terminal Equipment Controllers (TECs) using contractor supplied equipment.
The programming shall be completed in accordance with FCS department
established standards.


PART 2 - PRODUCTS


2.01 GENERAL

All control devices and products shall be selected in accordance with the equipment
schedule on the contract drawings. Installation of the components shall be in accordance
with Part 3 of the Section. If a component is required to meet the requirements shown on
the drawings and is not specified, the Supplier shall select and submit on components that
meets all design requirements indicated on the drawings, stated in the sequence of
operation, and elsewhere in the Contract documents. The quality of the submitted product
shall be commensurate with other products.
