Panel shall be pre-piped and pre-wired to match existing conditions and proposed installation at the medical center. System components shall be compatible with a mechanical room and capable of exposure to hot and cold temperatures and a high humidity environment typical of a mechanical room that lacks environmental controls. The system shall provide: Fully Automatic and continuous monitoring of free residual oxidant (FRO) or total residual oxidant (TRO) in water systems using the EPA accepted DPD (N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) colorimetric test method for measuring chlorine. Automatic and continuous monitoring of incoming domestic cold water for: pressure, temperature (degrees F), pH, dissolved solids, and oxidant residual Data acquisition device to allow for immediate date reporting, trending, and alarms via connection to an existing medical center owned Johnson Controls Metasys Server. Remote access 24/7 system shall be accomplished through provision of a communication protocol compatible with the existing Johnson Controls Metasys server using a VA provided connection point.
