Outputs:The outputs shall perform all the following items without added modules to perform any of the tasks.

Page 40 of 55


1. Load Shedding: The System shall have the capability to Load Shed with 8 levels any output. This means you can specify which outputs (barring NFPA restrictions) you would like Load Shed. Level 1 12.9v, Level 2 12.5V, Level 3 - 12.1V, Level 4 - 11.7V, Level 5 11.3V, Level 6 10.9V, Level 7 10.5, Level 8 10.1. Unlike conventional load shedding devices you can assign a level to any or all outputs. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. 2. Load Sequencing: The System shall be able to sequence from 0 8 levels any output. With 0 being no delay and 1 being a 1 second delay, 2 being a 2 second delay and so on. Sequencing reduces the amount of voltage spikes and drops on your vehicle, and can help limit damage to your charging system. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.

3. Output Device: The System shall have solid-state output devices. Each solid-state output shall be a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor - Field Effect Transistors); MOS-FETs are solid-state devices with no moving parts to wear out. A typical relay when loaded to spec has a life of 100,000 cycles. The life of a FET is more than 100 times that of a relay. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.

4. Flashing Outputs: The System shall be able to flash any output in either A or B phase, and logic is used to shut down needed outputs in park, or any one of several combined interlocks. The flash rate can be selected at either 80, or 160 FPM. This means any light can be specified with a multiplex truck with no need to add flashers. Flashing outputs can also be used to warn of problems or other unique idea you may come up with. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. 5. PWM: The modules shall have the ability to PWM at some outputs so that a Headlight PWM module is not needed. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.

6. Diagnostics: An output shall be able to detect either a short or open circuit.

Inputs:1. The inputs shall have the ability to switch by a ground or battery signal.

2. The inputs shall be filtered for noise suppression via hardware and software so that RF or dirty power will not trick an input into changing its status. System Network:

The Multiplex system contain a Peer-to-Peer network. A Master Slave Type network is not suitable for the Fire/Rescue industry. A Peer-to-Peer network means that all the modules are equal on the network; a Master is not needed to tell other nodes when to talk.

System Reliability:

PAINT COMPARTMENT INTERIORS

The interior of the body compartments be painted off white with Amerlock®/400, a self-priming epoxy.

Amerlock’s low solvent level meets VOC requirements, reduces the chances for film pin holing and solvent entrapment at the substrate-coating interface. The superior wetting action permits excellent adhesion, thoroughly soaking in and tightly bonding to the underlying metal.

Amerlock®/400 provides an excellent resistance to high humidity and moisture.

BODY PAINT PREPARATION

After the body and components have been fabricated and assembled they shall then be disassembled prior to painting so when the apparatus is completed there shall be finish paint beneath the removable components. The body shall be totally removed from the chassis during the painting process to insure the entire unit is covered. The apparatus body and components shall be metal finished as follows to provide a superior substrate for painting.

All aluminum sections of the body shall undergo a thorough cleaning process starting with a phosphoric acid solution to begin the etching process followed by a complete rinse. The next step shall consist of a chemical conversion coating applied to seal the metal substrate and become part of the aluminum surface for greater film adhesion.

After the cleaning process the body and it's components shall be primed with an High Solids primer and the seams shall be caulked.

All bright metal fittings, if unavailable in stainless steel or polished aluminum, shall be heavily chrome plated. Iron fittings shall be copper underplated prior to chrome plating.

PAINT PROCESS

The paint process shall follow the strict standards as set forth by PPG Fleet Finish Guidelines.

The body shall go through a two-stage paint process: Primer Coat and Base Coat (Color). In the first stage of the paint process the body shall be coated with PPG F3980 Low VOC / High Solids primer to achieve a total thickness of 2-4 mills. In the second stage of the paint process the body shall be painted with PPG Delfleet™ High Solids Polyurethane Base Coat. A minimum of two to three coats of paint shall be applied to achieve hiding.

As part of the curing process the painted body shall go through a Force Dry / Bake Cycle process. The painted components shall be baked at 185 degrees for 3 hours to achieve a complete coating cure on the finished product.

APPARATUS BODY COLOR

The apparatus shall be painted with PPG High Solids Polyurethane Base Coat.
