The U.S. Coast Guard Command and Control Engineering Center (C2CEN) intends to issue a FIRM FIXED PRICE Purchase Order using Simplified Acquisition Procedures(incorporating the latest FAC, FAC 2005-29) for the Fabrication of 4 each as First Article Units and 100 each Production Run Units of NAVAID Sensor Modules. General Information. The NAVAID Sensor Panel (GCF-RWL-2241) and Audio Visual Controller (GCF-RWL-2098) operate in environmental extremes found along the navigable waterways of the United States. The NAVAID Sensor Panel is connected to Audio Visual Controller to monitors and controls light and sound signal systems at various lighthouses and other land based navigational aids location. The NAVAID Sensor Panel is also connected to Remote Monitor and Control Unit (NAVLINK-MC-1-32(13419)). The Remote Monitor and Control Unit is part of the Aid Control & Monitor System (ACMS). The purpose of this specification is to upgrade the NAVAID Sensor Panel into a single module (here in after referred to as NAVAID Sensor Module) with interconnecting wiring harness that can be installed internally into the Audio Visual Controller (GCF-RWL-2098). The NAVAID Sensor Panel contains two identical Printed Circuit Boards (one for light signals and the other for sound signals), one common +5VDC Voltage Regulator Board, terminal boards, connectors, and interconnecting wiring. Each Printed Circuit Board performs the following functions: To convert contact closure originating from the operating light or sound signals into suitable signal to interface with the Remote Monitor and Control Unit which will provide proper status to the ACMS. To continuously test the operation of the individual light or sound signals to ensure that they are capable of operating when required. To automatically switch the navigational aid system into the emergency and secondary modes in the event of primary signal failure.
