3. Electrical schematics.


4. Mechanical riser diagram and electrical wiring diagram.


5. The computer program documentation.

2.12 ADDITIONAL FEATURES

A. Features shall be designed to permit incorporation into system with minimum alteration or modification to

existing equipment or controls.

1. Each station shall accept two or more carriers, addressed and available for automatic dispatch under
   computer control without further operation intervention.


2. System control shall be equipped for CRT Terminal which is complete with system programs that
   provide maintenance diagnostic routines and management reports for systems maintenance and
   management purposes.


3. System controls shall incorporate carrier speed control capability that upon command from sending
   station, automatically transports selective carriers through entire transit route at pre-determined (12'-0"
   to 15'-0" per second) reduced rate of speed. Balance of system shall continue to operate at normal
   speed. Selected transit route shall return to normal speed upon completion of reduced velocity
   transaction. Pneumatic tube system shall be pre-set to designated transit routes to meet specific
   requirements of the Owner. This feature will include in selective speed control network those stations
   designated by the Owner.


4. Optical sensors for computer and diverters.


5. Single touch addressing for high use stations.


6. L.E.D.'s on printed circuit boards.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

A. Installation of system shall be in accordance with manufacturer's written instructions.

B. Station operating mechanism shall not be installed until system is ready for check-out to insure latest equipment

models. Should improvements have been made on system components bid on, the Owner shall negotiate price

differentials, if any, upon submission by manufacturer of complete description of improvements.

C. Provide protection for system components against damage.

D. Position diverters in ceiling spaces or shaft areas. Divertors shall be positioned so that at least 6" of clear

space is above divertor components; at least 24" of clear un-obstructed space is available on the side of the

divertor (full length) with the electrical panel; at least 6" of clear space is available in front of the divertor

motor assembly; and at least 6" of clear space is available under the divertor motor assembly. In addition -

un-obstructed access space in ceiling is required for maintenance access from below the ceiling to work on

the divertor components..

E. After award of contract and prior to commencement of field work, manufacturer shall submit to the Owner a

complete traffic flow analysis.

F. Installation of the pneumatic tube system shall be coordinated with other utilities installed above the ceilings.

This section shall assist the Contractor in the preparation of the coordination drawings by providing the

Contractor with drawings and equipment cuts of the pneumatic tube system.
