Specifications (Vision Line II) -

1) Vision Line II General Description

1.1 For this point forward SMC shall be referred to as the console

contractor.

1.2 Vision Line II is a console that is designed to accommodate numerous
kinds of computers, communication equipment, and user interface devices
(ex. Keyboards, mice, etc.).

The console is to be a design that is completely modular, totally
interchangeable and easily reconfigured by the user. There are to be
different frame widths (24”, 30”, 36”, 48”, 60” and 72”) that are standard.
There are 90-degree corners along with wedge designs that allow for
Convex and Concave layouts (they are to be available in 30, 45 and 60­degrees). Standard height of the console is 43”. All units are bolted
together allowing total design flexibility.

The frames are constructed in such a manor as to allow back-to-back
configurations in straight, convex, and concave layouts. The frame itself
remains the center spine for the back-to-back work surfaces with access
to cable management from either side of the frame’s front and the top.

There are numerous options such as peninsulas, binder storage, and
storage cabinets.

1.3 The consoles shall accommodate a variety of computers,
communication equipment, CRT or Flat Panel displays and operator
interface devices. The design of the consoles should also satisfy the
functional, ergonomic and aesthetic requirements of the operational
working environment.

1.4 Construction ­ All construction supplied by the contractor shall be of such a design

that will allow for 24/7 utilization of the consoles supplied.
Constructed of formed cold rolled steel, this open architecture
design provides:

The frames are to be constructed from 14 Ga.* cold roll steel (as a

minimum) to support all of the required accessories, work surfaces,
cables, and user interfaces.

Console Specifications

a. Full Access (front and rear) where ever possible to

house terminals and CPUs
b. Air circulation throughout the entire installation
c. Fully removable rear doors and front panels requiring

no tools
d. Monitor mounts are adjustable to enhance viewing

angle
e. Cable Management run flexibility
f. Unparalleled strength and durability for 24/7

operations.

1.5 Doors and Access –
Front access panels are constructed of 20 Ga. cold rolled steel, providing

durability and strength. Rear Doors and hinged to allow access to cable
management within frame. With the exception of the work surface top,
rear doors, and trim pieces, the entire unit is made of steel.

1.6 Work Surface –
The console shall have a minimum 1.25" (50mm) thick work surface with

post-formed front edge, T-Mold or specific edging for operator comfort can
be supplied. Work surfaces are constructed of high-pressure post-formed
grade laminate applied to .45 lb. industrial grade board for durability. A
thermal fused melamine backer is applied to seal the board and eliminate
rough surfaces on the underside of the work surface and to prevent
moisture access to the work surface.

2) Standards

2.1 Optional rack mount insert shall comply with Electronic Industry

Association (E.I.A.) specifications for rack mounting ANSI/EIA standard
RS-310.

2.2 The consoles shall be manufactured to industry recognized quality and
ergonomic standards (BIFMA, ISO, ANSI).

3) Drawings

3.1 The contractor shall supply sets of scaled drawings for each console

assembly showing the location of all the specified electronics in isometric
view in addition to a plan (top down) and elevation views.

3.2 The specification of sizes and dimensions shown in the drawings shall
have a tolerance of not more than +/- 0.062" (1.6mm).

4) Modular Pre-Engineered Construction
All components within the system shall be:

4.1 Of a pre-engineered modular construction, i.e.: constructed from a
series of independent sectional compartments.

4.2 Available from a pre-defined set of manufacturer’s model numbers.

4.3 Free from alterations to the design either prior to or following

installation, will be accomplished without the need for either welding or
carpentry work.

4.4 Capable of cables or conduits passing through the complete width of
the system without obstruction.

4.5 Constructed of a steel superstructure framework with external
decorative laminated panels.

5) Self-Supporting Skeleton Framework
The self-supporting skeleton framework shall:

5.1 Be installed onto the site in advance of any external finishing panels.
The framework shall be fully capable of supporting all specified electronics
without the need for attachment of any external panels.

5.2 Include modular sections and be constructed of 14 and 16 Ga.* (.074"
and .059") sheet metal. Console sections shall be secured together by use
of #1/4-20 bolts. All welds exposed to the front shall be filed smooth and
sharp contours eliminated.

6) Components

6.1 Frames –

Design is open architecture style consisting of framework in 14 Ga. cold
rolled steel materials to provide durability, strength, modularity and
complete cable run flexibility.
Frames are modular in design that comes in different frame widths (24”,
30”, 36”, 48”, 60” and 72”) that are standard. There are 90-degree corners
along with wedge designs that allow for Convex and Concave layouts
(they are to be available in 30, 45 and 60-degrees). Standard height of
