• Altronix AL4000UL
• LifeSafety Power FP075
• LifeSafety Power FP0150

Note 2: Encrypted line security

To achieve Level III UL 294 access control encrypted line security requirements between the PIV reader and PIV
control panel a local visual/ audible sounding device is required to indicate a compromise attempt to the user.
For line security between the control panel and monitoring station the monitoring station is required to
provide the appropriate visual and audible indication to the user. At minimum, the command centre
monitoring station, one control panel and one reader with 128 bit encryption enabled, is required to achieve
this rating.

Note 3: Attack Requirements

(a) All the above devices are located inside the protected premise. The only devices outside of the protected
premise are the reader terminals.
(b) To achieve the Level 3 UL 294 attack requirements at minimum all devices shall be connected to a
controller and the controller shall be connected to the command centre monitoring station.

Note 4: The Non PIV readers and controllers are Listed for Line security Level II.

3E2793 Gallagher Command Centre UL Configuration Requirements | Edition 15 | July 2019

Copyright © Gallagher Group Limited Page 7
Configuration requirements applicable to all USA and Canadian UL Installations:
(a) The control unit is powered from a UL 294/UL 1076 Listed Class 2 power supply with minimum standby
power, such as the Altronix Model AL400ULX power supply. The supervision of the supply’s primary power is
accomplished by monitoring the AC loss contacts of the power supply. A tamper switch is provided to
monitor the control’s front cover removal. For either the AC loss or tamper conditions, a resultant status
change must occur at the central supervisory station.
(b) Should the total equipment power requirement plus power to recharge the battery exceed the rating of a
single power supply system, then additional power supplies must be provided.
(c) A minimum spacing of 5mm (¼ inch) must be provided between power limited and non-power limited
wiring.
(d) Products and systems listed in the User Guide are not listed as having UL certification unless included in this
UL Configuration Requirements section.
(e) Any cables providing signalling from outside the protected area must be supervised using dual 4k7 ohm
resistors, connected as shown in the respective hardware Installation Notes.
(f) If a Dual Cabinet is used without either a Gallagher Controller 3000-xxx, 5000GL or a Gallagher High Density
I/O Interface, then a tamper board must be installed to provide anti-tamper protection.
(g) Gallagher Commander Interface and operation is not supported for UL installations.
(h) Interlocked doors configuration has not been evaluated by UL.
(i) All signaling cables to be 22 AWG or larger. All power cables to be 18 AWG or larger.
(j) The Watch Dog relay function has not been evaluated by UL.
(k) The processor temperature monitor (Controller 6000HS and 6000HS PIV) has not been evaluated by UL.
(l) If configured to partition, acknowledgement signal must be present at all arming stations and all power
supplies to be continuously monitored.
(m) Products and systems that are not UL Listed for Burglar Alarm or Access Control cannot be connected in an
UL Listed Burglar Alarm or Access Control system.
(n) The control unit shall be mounted in a protected area.
(o) The Gallagher GBUS URI units “off-line mode” of operation is not approved for UL installations.
(p) All knockouts on the Gallagher Dual Cabinet shall be connected to conduit in UL installations.
(q) The Gallagher Dual Cabinet shall not be mounted on an electrical outlet. The unit shall be flush mounted to
prevent access to the back of the enclosure.
(r) The two Ethernet connections available on the Controller 6000HS and 6000HS PIV are referred to by
Gallagher as “primary” and “secondary” Ethernet connections. This terminology does not infer
Supplementary or Secondary (dual) communication circuits as defined in the UL Standard. The second
Gallagher Ethernet port provides an alternative Controller communication path only should the first circuit
fail.
(s) Refer to the ‘Configuring Local Overrides at Card Readers’ topic in the Gallagher Command Centre help file,
for instructions for arming/disarming alarm zones at a reader. This feature is only available when the system
is installed for burglar alarm or burglar alarm and access applications.
(t) T Series Readers have not been evaluated in ‘daisy chain’ configuration for UL approved installations.
(u) T20 Terminals shall not be installed outdoors for UL approved installations.
(v) Access and burg functionality using Bluetooth has not been evaluated by UL.

Configuration requirements applicable to UL1076 and ULC1076 installations:

(a) A UL1076 Listed class 2 power supply must be configured to supply 4 hours of standby power. Loss of AC
signal is transmitted to the central supervising station before the capacity of standby power has decreased
below 4 hours.
(b) The priority of signals must be configured from highest to lowest priority as follows:
Burglar Alarm
Burglar-alarm supervision
Unauthorised card read
Other signals with Burglar Alarm system signals having the highest priority.

3E2793 Gallagher Command Centre UL Configuration Requirements | Edition 15 | July 2019

Copyright © Gallagher Group Limited Page 8
(c) The communication medium between the protected property and the Central Station shall be for the
exclusive use of the protected property and is not to be shared with other subscribers.
(d) When multiplex system signals are transmitted directly from the protected systems to the central
supervising station and the loss of the channel prevents the receipt of signals from protective circuits beyond
the fault, the number of separate signals (i.e. control units) on a single channel is limited to 1000.
(e) Dial-up modem and RS232c connections are not approved for UL compliant installations.
(f) If the Ethernet (PSDN) communication fails or a compromise attempt is detected the following message will
be displayed at the monitoring station:
Controller '[Name]' Offline
(g) The Gallagher Remote Arming Terminal has been verified by UL only for arming and disarming the system.
(h) When arming the system from the protected premise, a Tomar model 250LS-12-80-W strobe light must be
installed in a position adjacent to and visible from a Gallagher unit used for arming an Alarm Zone. Follow
the instructions next in Appendix A to setup the required macro at the central station to enable the strobe to
illuminate when the central station receives the arming signal from the protected premise. The strobe shall
remain illuminated for approximately 5 seconds.
(i) The entry delay must be configured to be less than 60 seconds.
(j) User cannot force arm the system unless open zones are required to be manually bypassed.
(k) The supervision of the supply’s primary power is accomplished by the Gallagher Controller 5000GL, 6000,
6000NU, 6000HS and 6000HS-PIV monitoring the AC loss contacts of the power supply. A tamper switch is
provided to monitor the control’s front cover removal. For either the AC loss or tamper conditions, a
resultant status change occurs at the central supervisory station.
(l) All receiving equipment shall be completely duplicated with provision for switchover to the backup system
within 30 seconds. The backup system shall be fully operational within 6 minutes of the loss of the primary

Appendix A:
Configuration required confirming that the central station is notified of system arming.
The UL requirement is to ensure an Alarm Zone cannot be armed should the receiving station (server) be off-
line. As a general rule, all Gallagher Controller activity is managed on the Controller and will continue to
function should the Controller go off-line. To meet the UL requirement, the Controller must attempt to
contact a function which is only server based to verify that the server is present, before allowing the Alarm
Zone to set.
The configuration described below operates as follows:
(i) A request to arm is presented to a “pre-arm” Alarm Zone.
(ii) The output status of the pre-arm Alarm Zone is used to initiate a server based macro.
(iii) When contacted, the macro requests the main Alarm Zone to arm.
(iv) The main Alarm Zone arms.
(v) If the server is not on-line, then the macro cannot be initiated, therefore the main Alarm Zone will not arm.
It must be noted that should an attempt to arm or disarm an Alarm Zone whilst the server is off-line will
require an arm/disarm cycle of the Alarm Zone to confirm its exact status once the server is back on-line.
This is not applicable should a server go off-line and then return to on-line without any arm/disarm state
change requests while the server is off-line.

Prior to configuring for this requirement, a <Controller> is configured “Controller” and an <Alarm Zone>
“Controller Default Alarm Zone” is associated. Carry out the following configuration.
1. Create the <Door> or <Remote Arming Terminal> required to arm and disarm the Alarm Zone.
a. Assign “Controller Default Alarm Zone” as the default Alarm Zone for all events.
b. For the door <Entry Reader>, ensure that <Double Card Overrides>, <Arm Alarm Zone> is checked.

2. Create an <Output> “Office Alarm Zone Armed”.

a. Assign “Controller Default Alarm Zone” as the default Alarm Zone for all events.
b. Save and exit.

3. Create an <Output> “Strobe lamp”.

a. Assign “Controller Default Alarm Zone” as the default Alarm Zone for all events.
b. On the <Advanced tab>, check <Output is pulsed when activated>.
c. Set the <Pulse Time> to 1 or more seconds.
d. Save and exit.

4. Create an <Output> “Office Alarm Zone Disarmed”

a. Assign “Controller Default Alarm Zone” as the default Alarm Zone for all events.
b. On the <Advanced> tab, change the <Mapping to an input state> to “On is Closed, Off is Open”.
c. Save and exit.

5. Create a <Macro> “Office Armed”

a. On the <Action Tab>, drag and drop the “Strobe Lamp” into the window.

b. On the <Event Response> tab, change the <Closed/On> Action Plan to “Intruder Alarm”.
c. Save and exit.

8. Create an <Alarm Zone> “Pre-arm Office Alarm Zone”.

a. On the <Connections> tab, assign this Alarm Zone to the “Controller”.
b. On the <Reflect Outputs> tab, drag and drop the Office Alarm Zone pre-arm status output into the
<Armed State> window.
c. Drag and drop the “Office Alarm Zone disarm” output into the <Disarmed State> window.
d. Save and exit.

9. For the <Door Access Zone> associated with the door required to arm/disarm the Alarm Zone, configure
the <Event Response>, <Alarm Zone for All Events> to use the “Pre-arm Office Alarm Zone”
a. Save and exit.

10. For a <Remote Arming terminal>, assign the “Pre-arm Office Alarm Zone” to <Alarm Zones>.
a. Save and exit.

11. Create an <Alarm Zone> “OFFICE ALARM ZONE”

a. On the <Connections> tab, assign it to the “Controller”
b. On the <Push Buttons> tab, drag and drop the “Strobe lamp” output into the <Armed State> window.
c. Drag and drop the “Office Alarm Zone Disarmed” output into the <Disarmed State> window.
d. On the <Reflect Outputs> tab, drag and drop the “Office Alarm Zone Armed” output into the Armed
State window.
e. Save and exit.

12. Create a <Cardholder>
