Customer responsibilities and information
Customer responsibilities
- SRP requires the customer to install a restricted access switch (RAS) on each existing or proposed main
and guest entry gates(s) and restricted exit gate(s) that provides continuous
24-hour access.
- The RAS must be wired to the gate controller no more than six inches from the
telephone entry box.
- The RAS will be installed by the customer's gate service company and maintained
according to SRP Specifications. The maintenance specifications are that it is
maintained in working order for our field personnel. If the RAS becomes inoperable,
then it is the customer's responsibility to make the necessary repairs.
- The RAS installation configuration may be either horizontal or vertical. See examples.
- Customers are required to provide a RAS to activate the controller of opening
electric restricted exits.
- This may require the installation of an additional RAS assembly inside the gate.
- After the RAS is energized, the customer's technician tests the system by actuating
the momentary micro-switch. After verifying it works correctly, the customer's
technician installs tamperproof screws. The test is outlined further in the
installation instructions.
- SRP inspects the RAS installation for placement and tests the installation to
ensure it is operating properly.
- Customer is responsible to procure and install the recommended list of parts:
