Quest Controls, Inc. is the source for your Electronic Monitoring, and Control needs engineered for the Telecommunications Industries, Outside Plant and Central Office Applications.

HVAC Monitoring & Control
The TELSEC® products will maintain proper temperature and humidity in the shelter by controlling the air
conditioning, ventilation, and heating systems.The control strategies used will reduce energy consumption,
extend the life of critical operating equipment, ensure equipment is operating properly, and prevent wide
swings in temperature and humidity. This is accomplished by using intelligent lead/lag strategies that alternate
the cycling of the HVAC equipment. Energy consumption is reduced by sensing inside and outside air
temperatures, and utilizing ventilation equipment in an economizer mode for "free cooling." Further energy
savings can be attained through tighter temperature control, automatic resetting of comfort modes, and
limiting set point ranges.

Tower Light Monitoring
By monitoring tower lights such as beacon, strobe, and side lights, TELSEC® products ensure that all lights are operational. In the event of a light failure,TELSEC® products recognize the failure and generate a user-defined alarm message and send it to the appropriate location. Full-time operational tower lights ensure that wireless providers can avoid unnecessary fines.

Telephony Equipment Monitoring
Telephony equipment monitoring is required to eliminate system downtime and maximize customer satisfaction.
Quest products provide real-time surveillance of every alarm type from sophisticated fiber optic performance
monitoring to the simplest discrete alarm. They monitor status and failures of MUXs, fiber optics, rectifiers,
fuse panels, repeaters, channel banks, receive/transmit communications, access node, card, and equipment
shelf, and provide on-site annunciators for audible and visual alarm indication. Built-in modems and serial
communication ports are used to send TL1 alarm messages which are communicated to a remote monitoring
center for immediate response. Sensing data and alarms are recorded in historical logs for on-site or
remote diagnosis.

Variable Speed Heat Exchanger
TELSEC® products can provide variable speed control of heat exchanger fans on remote site cabinets. Using
variable speed control of fans extends fan life, battery life, and results in energy savings. fan and fuse facilities
are also monitored.

Environmental Alarm Monitoring & Control
Remote site environments need to be monitored for the telephony equipment to operate properly and to ensure
a safe working environment for telecom personnel. Quest products intelligently sense changing environmental
conditions, such as, temperature, humidity, smoke/fire, toxic & explosive gas, flooding, security intrusion, and
commercial power failures. TELSEC® products control lighting, dehumidifiers, sump pumps, HVAC equipment,
and provide on-site annunciators for audible and visual alarm indication. Built-in modems and serial
communication ports are used to send TL1 alarm messages which are communicated to a remote monitoring
center for immediate response. Sensing data and alarms are recorded in historical logs for on-site or
remote diagnosis.

Cable Pressure & Air Flow Monitoring
To prevent cable faults and water intrusion in copper lines that could result in customer downtime and loss of
revenue, TELSEC® products monitor cable pressure and air flow in real-time. With this pressure and flow data,
telecom personnel can review trends, diagnose where and when a fault occurred, and take immediate corrective
action when alarms are received.

Door/Hatch Access Control
To provide safe and protected access into remote sites and limit required site visits, TELSEC® products
provide three methods of control: card access, key codes, and remote operation of the entry door. Security
card access control using proximity card readers enables telecom personnel to remotely change passwords
and codes, thereby controlling access without having to re-key or make unnecessary site visits. Door
actuators are controlled directly by Quest products and door access is maintained even during commercial
power failures. An unauthorized intrusion creates a TL1 alarm message to the remote monitoring center.
Access logs track who visits remote sites with date and time stamping.

Generator Monitoring
By ensuring proper operation of generators, catastrophic failure and system downtime can be avoided.
TELSEC® products provide alarming and monitoring for generators including the following functions:
enable/disable, run time, transfer switch, fuel level, fuel spillage, and alarms for scheduled run time. In
addition, TELSEC®'s can control generator startup.

Power & Battery Capacity Monitoring
The TELSEC® 1500/2000RM/WM monitors battery voltage and capacity by measuring the bulk power
plant through the incoming power feeding the system. It automatically estimates total hours of battery
capacity and how much time is remaining before the site loses backup battery power. With this data,
alarms can be generated to notify monitoring centers of high and low float voltage, under-voltage alarms,
low total battery capacity, and time remaining before loss of battery power. Power and battery problems
can be readily diagnosed remotely. Dispatching decisions can be prioritized based upon power failures and
imminent loss of battery backup power at remote sites.

REAL-TIME NETWORK SURVEILLANCE
The ADAM^™ 720 is a network surveillance and management system providing real-time surveillance of every alarm type, from sophisticated fiber optic performance monitoring to the simplest discrete alarm. The ADAM^™ 720 can be deployed in traditional telephone company applications, private networks or stand-alone building alarm applications.

Today's central office equipment spans several generations of technology, employing a wide assortment of alarm indication methods - Serial TBOS, TABS and E2A Alarms, Wet and Dry Contact Closures, Multi-contact Alarm Sets and the new generation of Serial TL1 Alarms for SONET Compatibility.

INTEGRATES EQUIPMENT TO SPAN TECHNOLOGY GAPS
QUEST CONTROLS has a solution to bridge the technology gap between past, present and future Telco Environments. Rather than continuously updating obsolete monitors or limiting yourself to a mediation only device for TL1 equipment, install the ADAM^™ 720 to meet your needs now and well into the future.

FEATURES AN INTELLIGENT PROGRAMMABLE MONITOR
The ADAM^™ 720 is an end office-type system perfect for all applications. It can monitor up to 700 Discrete Alarm Points or 56 Serial Data I/O Ports (i.e. TBOS) or any combination thereof. The ADAM^™ 720 is also capable of expanding to 2600 Discrete Alarm Points. Quest designed the ADAM^™720 specifically for placement in the Central Office or Remote Buildings. It continuously analyzes alarm data from a variety of sources. When the status of a monitored device changes, the ADAM^™720 instantly sends a TL1 Message completely describing the event. Moreover, the information in a single message can be derived from multiple simultaneous Contact Closures, such as those provided by Digital Loop Carrier Systems like AT&T®’s SLC-96 and SLC Series 5. When necessary, the ADAM^™720 automatically activates Alarm Cutoff and Bank Loopback relays on the DLC System in alarm. Using Quest’s unique Programmable Alarm Logic, you can completely control how the ADAM^™720 interprets alarm points in a multiple set, where status indicators are shared among several different equipment units.

DESIGNED FOR NMA
The ADAM^™720 employs standard TL1 Protocol for both autonomous alarm messages and input commands, making it fully compatible with Telcordia (formally Bellcore) Network Monitoring and Analysis (NMA) System and other Operating Systems. Simultaneous communication is possible via several methods: an X.25 Packet-Switched Network or physical circuit, RS232, RS422/485 and Modem Asynch or Synch.

REMOTE CONFIGURATION
The alarm messages are automatically sent to NMA through the designated port, freeing the NMA from the burden of constantly polling for alarm data. In addition, the ADAM^™720’s internal database may be completely configured remotely, eliminating unnecessary visits to remote monitoring sites.

CONSERVE RACK SPACE
In today's Telecommunication Industry, rack space is at a premium. The ADAM^™720’s compact, modular design requires only 3.5 inches of standard rack space, making it well suited for CEVs and Equipment Huts. Expansion is accomplished through simple plug-in modules, allowing you to fit the ADAM^™720 System to your immediate requirements with no wasted capacity, then easily expand the system as necessary. While a single system is capable of monitoring all alarms in most Central Offices, additional systems may be “daisy-chained” together with standard serial cables to monitor your largest applications.

SYSTEM POWER AND FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT THE COMPLEXITY
The ADAM-720 offers power and flexibility without the bother and complexity associated with other systems. Every aspect of the ADAM^™720’s operation is controlled with user-friendly software. No error-prone hardware switches and jumpers to set. Build your configuration database on any IBM®-compatible PC at your office, using Quest's graphically-oriented, template-driven Provisioning Software. Using our Provisioning Software Templates for equipment from all major manufacturers, you can easily build a complete configuration database for your central office in just a few minutes! You can connect to the ADAM^™720, either remotely or directly, using a Portable PC and upload your database in only a few keystrokes. For direct communication without the Menu-driven Interface, we also provide an Integrated ASCII Terminal Mode, similar to communication packages like Procomm®, but tailored specifically for ease of use with TL1.

Since a significant portion of the overall cost of a monitoring system is the installation, we designed the ADAM^™720 with a number of timesaving, trouble-free features. Standard Telco Connectors on all of our System Modules connect to a variety of pre-connectorized, pre-wired terminal blocks. The result: a dramatic reduction in both wiring labor and miswired contacts.

FAULT-TOLERANT RELIABILITY
Failure of your Alarm Monitoring System could easily have disastrous effects. The ADAM^™720’s Optional Redundant CPU Module provides fault-tolerant operation. The Redundant CPU is automatically activated in the event of a main CPU failure, restoring all system data and continuing standard operation, uninterrupted–you don’t need to reset the clock. NEBS LEVEL III AND FIELD-PROVEN When our customers needed an Alarm Monitoring System capable of efficiently monitoring DLC Systems while still being able to monitor existing equipment, Quest's responded with the ADAM^™720. No other system can provide the ADAM^™720’s capability in a simple, compact and cost-efficient design. The ADAM^™720 has been successfully deployed in hundreds of Central Offices and other remote Telecommunication Facilities world wide. The ADAM^™720 has surpassed Telcordia Technologies’ (formerly Bellcore) meticulous quality requirements for the X.25/TL1 Compatibility. Additionally, the ADAM^™720 has met the testing standards of Telcordia Technologies Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements, “Level III.” The design is inherently modular and adaptable, allowing the ADAM^™720 to be tailored to your own unique requirements.
