LIGHTING
7-3.1
The Dispatch Center space should be designed for normal interior lighting
levels according to the classification of the space: equipment room or Dispatch Center.
Consideration should be given to selectable lighting or dimmers that allow reducing the
lighting behind or near system displays. Use of dimmers or task lighting should be
considered at operator's areas. Indirect lighting should also be a consideration. The
design should strive for no glare of monitor screens.

CONSOLES
7-4.1
A determination should be made early as to how many stations are required.
The layout for a simple Dispatch Center console is displayed in Figure 7-3. Although
security system monitors may be co-located with other functions such as a 911 call
center and fire alarm monitoring personnel, most commands find a separate
administrative personal computer and printer is required in the Dispatch Center. A
conceptual layout for a small to medium sized Dispatch Center is displayed in Figure 7-
4.
