Executive Summary .
The Hamilton Entrance Control System (ECS)
was designed and developed as an active deter-
rent to armed robberies, specifically the
takeover type robberies. The ECS offers a
proactive approach over other security meth-
ods in that it prevents weapons from entering
the building and offers protection to both cus-
tomers and employees. The ECS provides a
strong sense of security to employees that cam-
eras, alarms, dye packs and bullet resistive
glazing for the teller lines fail to provide.
System Overview
The ECS consists of two separate chambers
(Entrance / Exit) each with an exterior door
and interior door. The chambers are con-
structed of stainless steel with bullet resistive
glass. Each door is equipped with magnetic
locks, push bars, door closures, and motions
sensors. The center of the entrance section is
equipped with a weapons detection unit.

Weapons Detector
The ECS sensors allow one person to enter at a
time. If a weapon or metal mass is detected as
the person walks thought the detector, the inte-
rior doors lock to prevent entrance and an
alarm is sounded to alert employees. A console
is located inside the bank and is equipped with
an intercom and override button. Bank
employees can request the person walk
through again, or if the person is a recognized
customer, employees have the option to over-
ride the system pushing the release button
allowing entry into the bank. This is deter-
mined by security policies, standards or guide-
lines established by the company.
Technical Strengths
The strengths of the ECS is in the detection and
sensing system. Infrared PIR sensors are far
more reliable and durable than floor mat sen-
sors that are exposed to environmental wear
and tear. The weapon detector provides a high
level of discrimination between weapons and
personal objects, detects a wide range of met-
als and alloys, and has the ability to communi-
cate by modem for analysis and adjustments.
This allows the controlled programming of all
the detection parameters from a remote loca-
tion. This also allows system wide control of
multiple units from a single terminal. When
used with the optional photocells, you can
remotely monitor the number of people that
enter the bank, the number that set off the
alarm and the ring rate. In addition, the
Hamilton Entrance Control System is "Made in
the USA".
Customer Acceptance
Hamilton Safe provides video materials to
assist in educating employees and customers.
Customer acceptance is achieved through
education. Providing a true, safe business
environment can enhance the image of the
bank and actually reduce employee turnover.

Pa rt 1 Forward
The increasing frequency of armed robberies of banks and other
financial institutions, especially the so-called armed take-over situa-
tion, presents a persuasive argument for controlling access to these
institutions by the general public. The threat of physical harm to the
employees, and customers alike, is of real concern to those charged
with their safety and well being.
Of particular concern is the relatively recent occurrence of "take over
situations", as opposed to the note passer, or the one-on-one holdup
of a teller. These situations involve entry into the institution by a group
of determined, heavily armed, individuals with the single goal of "loot-
ing the bank". These robberies, characterized by physical violence to
employee and customer alike, typically involve the display of automatic
weapons, and in some cases the shooting of employees.
Traditional security measures such as bullet resistive glazing for tellers,
explosive dye packs, cameras, and alarms, afford little protection
from the violence of these attacks. While these devices are a deterrent
to robbery in some small degree, they are for the most part passive in
that they are more useful in the apprehension of the person who
committed the robbery than in preventing it in the first place.
The need for a system to control entrance into a financial institution
clearly exists. A system which controls the manner in which people
enter a bank, and one which will detect those attempting to carry a
dangerous weapon into the facility. And, above all, a system that pro-
vides an active deterrent to robberies. The HAMILTON ENTRANCE
CONTROL SYSTEM is the solution.
Part 2 The Operating System
The system consists of two separate chambers, or passageways, each fitted
with two doors. One chamber, or passageway, is used for entering the
financial institution, while the other chamber is used for exiting the build-
ing. The passageways in a typical installation join each other, side to side,
to form a "Cabin". The Cabin, which meets all of the requirements for the
American Disabilities Act (ADA) and California Title 24, is constructed of
bullet resistive glazing and stainless steel framing. Special circuitry and
software controls the cabin. Door push bars, magnetic locking devices, a
metal detector, and sensors make up the hardware
components. A remote control console maintains sta-
tus of the cabin and allows override of all of the
devices, along with providing an intercommunication
system of the Cabin. The illustration in part 5 shows
the location of various systems components, and calls -
out door numbers for reference purposes.
OPERATION: The HAMILTON ENTRANCE CONTROL is
designed to control access to.the financial institutions
in several stages:
1. One person is allowed to enter the Entrance
Chamber at a time.
2. Each person entering the bank is required to
walk through a weapons (metals) detector before a
second inner door is unlocked. `
3. The doors of the Exit Chamber may be opened only
one at a time and will only permit traffic flow in
the exit direction. However, more than one person
may enter the exit chamber at the same time.
4.The system unlocks all doors on receipt of a fire
alarm signal. All doors are unlocked on building
power failure.
Entry Into the Financial Institution
Should this person decide not to enter the bank they
are free to leave the bank through Door D1 by retrac-
ing their steps and pushing on the Push Bar P1.
i If the Weapons Detector senses a mass in excess of its
programmed limits an alarm is sent to the Control
Console, a light is illuminated on the Control Counsel,
the Stop -Go Signaling Light flashes red, and Door D2
will not unlock. The Control Console Alarm Light will
remain on, and Door D2 will remain locked until the
reset button is pushed by an operator at the Control
Console.
At this time a decision must be made as to whether or
not the person in the Entrance Chamber should be
allowed into the building. This decision is based on risk
criteria established by the bank. Actions to be taken by
bank personnel should be established by a standard
operating procedure.
If Presence Detectors M1 and M2 sense individuals in
both entry areas an alarm is sent to the Control
Console, a light is illuminated on the Control Console
and Door D2 will not unlock. Occupants may exit
through Door D1; or the Control Console Operator may
press the red admit button.

• Door D1 and Door D3 are unlocked. Door D2 and.
Door D4 are locked. (See Part 5111ustration)
The person enters Door D1 and is detected by
Presence Detector M1 as being in the area before the
weapons detector. This detection will cause Door D1
to lock behind the customer as soon as it closes. The
person then proceeds through the Weapons Detector
where Detector M2 reveals their presence. If the per-
son passes the weapons test, and'a second person is
not detected as being in the chamber by Presence
Detector M1, Door D2 is unlocked and the individual
is allowed to enter the building: A Stop -Go
(Red -Green) signaling light indicates to the person
if they can enter.
STATUS: Door D3 is unlocked. Door D4 is locked.
• Door D3 remains unlocked waiting for a customer
to exit. When one or more customers enter the exit
chamber they are detected by Presence Detector M3
which will lock Door D3 when it closed behind
them. When Door D3 closes, Door D4 may be
opened by pushing on Push Bar P4. Door D3 will
remain locked as long as customers are detected in
the exit chamber.
• Should someone attempt to enter the Exit Chamber
from the street side when the Exit Chamber is unoc-
cupied, Door D4 will be locked. Should someone
enter the Exit Chamber from the street (though exit
door D4) while customers are exiting the bank they
will be sensed by Presence Detector(s) M3, and Door
D3 will remain locked.
Part 3 System Components
The Model ACS -1 Weapons Detector
GENERAL: The heart of the HAMILTON ENTRANCE
CONTROL is the Weapons (metal) Detector. The Model
ACS -1 Weapons Detector is characterized by:
• A high uniformity of field and the provision or
separate analysis of the upper and lower passage
zones.
• Wide programmability in the selection of magnetic '
and non-magnetic metals, and the ability to detect
modern weapons of mixed alloys.
• A high level discrimination between weapons and
personal metal objects. Through use of an exclusive
sampling system and digital signal processing, this
sharp discrimination reduces the number of false
alarms.
Constant sensitivity regardless of variations in move-
ment by individuals passing through the detector.
There is constant' sensitivity with either very fast, or
very slow passage.
• The Hamilton Entrance Control will support a flow
rate of 15 people per minute.
• High immunity to external interference is obtained
due to the availability of numerous transmission
channels and circuit design.
COMPONENTS:
• Detection Gate: Includes two panel transducers
sealed in fiberglass, linked at the top by a cross bar..
• Electronic Control Unit: Controls the operation of
the detector, and allows programming of the
system. Emergency power supply is provided by the
main system.
Technical Features
• Programming: One of the most significant features
that has been built into the Metal Detector is the
RS -232C serial interface that allows communication
'via' a modem to do signal analysis and adjusments.
This is particularly important for banks. This allows
the controlled programming of all the detection
parameters from a remote location. Local
adjustments of systems controls can be avoided.
The programming of the parameters can be
accomplished locally, by means of the keyboard on
the Electronic Control Unit, as well as in remote
mode though RS232C serial line at a programmable
speed. In the latter case the communications
controls provides online "help" with a description
of each command and of the value limits which can
be set.
Access to the programming can be effected on two
levels; "technical level" and "user level". Each level
is protected by an alphanumeric password of six
characters.
The Metal Detector can be connected to a network
of other Metal Detectors. This allows system wide
control from a single terminal.
• Local Programming: A display of six alphanumeric
characters and four programming keys is accessible
in the center of the electronic control rack, by
opening the front panel of the electronics unit.
There are two keys (up and down) for scrolling the
menu, one key to enter/exit the programming
phase (PROG) and a fourth key to confirm the date
entered (ENTER).
While programming, by means of the up and down
keys, the display allows scrolling through the list of
operating parameters of the Metal Detector. Each
parameter consists of a two -letter code which is
displayed while that parameter is in use.
• Calibration with self -learning: SS, CS. the Metal
Detector is capable of automatically putting into
effect two of the most frequent adjustments in
metal detection. These adjustments, with most
metal detectors, must be accomplished manually by
a trained operator.
SS: Automatic Sensitivity Search. Using a metal
sample for reference (to establish the desired
sensitivity adjustment of the Metal Detector) it is
normally necessary to make a certain number of
trial passes to establish the minimum level of
sensitivity required to detect the sample. Normally,
these passes require a skilled operator. With the
HAMILTON ENTRANCE CONTROL Metal Detector,
this calibration is automatically obtained with a so-
called self -learning search. In this way the best
sensitivity level can be determined quickly and
precisely, without repeated trails. There is no
uncertainty in the results.
CS: Automatic Channel Search. A second operation,
which is completely automatic, is the search for the
best operation channel. This search is for the
purpose of reducing electromagnetic interferences
coming from external sources. Once the command
"CS" has been given the control system proceeds to
examine the various channels and to select the best
suited in a few tenths of a second. This eliminates
the long searching process often found during the
installation phase.
• FQ: Quality Factor. This is a quality check of the
entire system made during installation that analyzes
electronic noises within the installation
environment. The installer carries out any number
of tests simulating the normal operation of the
system (opening and closing of doors, passing of
individuals, etc.) without metal objects.
A value is then displayed on the electronics unit of
the detector that indicates the real time quality
factor of the entire system.
Quality Factor
0 Noise Level unsatisfactory
1-5 Critical working condition; insufficient
discrimination
6-7 Medium noise, sufficient conditions;
medium discrimination
8-10 Low noise; excellent working
conditions, very good discrimination
• Storage of Configurations:
Another feature of the Metal Detector is its ability
to store up to ten various programming sets. Each
set contains pre -selected parameters of detection.
These differing levels of detection can be stored and
executed by a single command. This allows for great
ease in changing from one program to another.
Changes in security levels specific to a particular
environment are easily recalled.
• Alarms: Detection of a transiting mass results in a
continues tone. Disconnection of cables result in an
intermittent tone.
• Input: Power Supply: 80-260Vac, 40-400Hz,
40VA max.
• Output: Two alarm relays with 1A 220Vac contact.
RS -232C interface for connection with a terminal,
computer, or external modem.
Magnetic Door Locks
THE HAMILTON ENTRANCE CONTROL includes a num-
ber of Model 62 Series Maglocks. These locks repre-
sent state of the art electronic locking. The lock con -
I sists of two main parts: the magnet itself and a strike
(armature) plate. The magnet mounts on the frame
and the strike mounts to the door. 1200 lbs. (5501(g)
of magnetic force secures the door. This force is
stronger than most commercial doors and frames, so
the Maglock should be considered a security device.
Presence Detector
OPTEX Models OA -50C and OA -60C Motion Active
Infrared Presence Sensors are utilized in the system.
They operate on the Near Infrared Reflection Method
with a detection range of 8.9 feet (height), and a
detection area approximately 9.9 feet in depth. Using
these well proven detectors eliminates the environ-
mental problems (Snow, Water, and Ice) of floor mats.
Remote Control Console
The Remote Control Console provides intercommuni-
cation with the system, indicates alarm conditions, and
provides the status of each door though a series of
lights. The Console also holds the Admit Switch for
Door D2.
Programmable Controller
The Allen-Bradley MircoLogiz 1000 Controller controls
the operation the Entrance Control System. Through a
series of cables each electronidelectrical part of the
system is connected to the controller. The MircoLogix
1000 is what is known as a Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC). The main attribute of this type of
control is its microprocessor. The PLC can be repro-
grammed any time to take advantage of system
improvements that may arise from experience at each
installation site. This allows improvements in system
performance based on the factors at -'each installation. customers as they enter or leave the bank.

The Hamilton Entrance Control System prevents
takeover robberies and weapons use.
Use the bank.security system that establishes a line of defense outside your
bank. Hamilton Entrance Control's unique and sophisticated entrance and
exit monitoring system stops robbery teams from rushing into your premises
(a takeover robbery,) and prevents criminals from entering with firearms
such as assault rifles, shotguns and handguns. The Hamilton Entrance
Control System protects with:
• Multi-level monitoring system — a metal detector, motion sensors and lasers
are all used to limit access through the entrance and exit to your bank. This system ensures
that more than one person can never enter your bank at the same time... and that no
criminal enters carrying a large weapon.
• Bullet -resistive glazing — protects personnel inside your building.
• Warning alert — security personnel are immediately alerted whenever a metal mass
reaches the detector. In the event of an alert, the inside entrance door remains locked until
security personnel release it.
Yet this new, higher level of security is surprisingly affordable. Talk to a Hamilton security
representative for more information on Hamilton Entrance Control System and your
security needs.
