74-10-02 , ELECTRICAL LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The chassis shall be equipped with an integral fire and emergency vehicle
electrical package, which shall include the electrical requirements of the fire
apparatus body and cab warning light devices, power distribution, load
management, lighting administration, and interlock requirements as set forth and
recommended by NFPA 1901.
The components of the electrical package shall be integrated into the system by
an engineered wiring harness and interconnect system designed such that the
system wiring, interconnects, warning control, load management, interlock
system and associated documentation can remain unchanged regardless of the
vehicle lighting and interlock configuration.
The electrical package shall include: An indicating interlock module; a
programmable load management device; a warning light power distribution
module and an information display with system diagnostic capabilities.
INTERLOCK CONTROL AND MONITORING MODULE
The electrical package shall be equipped with an interlock module and
monitoring system that can be readily configured to meet the interlock
requirements of various PTO and pump configurations, without wiring
modifications from the pre-engineered harness and interconnect system. The
module shall consolidate all interlock signals, relays and indicators and shall
attach to the harness system through connectors. Independent relays dispersed
about the apparatus for the purpose of pump and throttle interlocks shall not be
utilized.
The interlock module shall also control and indicate the following functions:
Transmission lockup command, high idle control logic with adjustable speed
potentiometer for electronic engines, engine run/starter lockout relay, and cab
and body "door ajar" indication with relay for "door open' alarm.
15
LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS
The electrical package shall include an electrical load management system which
will control the warning light switch bank, lighting system operational mode
(scene/response), automatic high idle activation. NFPA recommended voltage
monitoring, load sequencing, and load shedding functions. The system shall
meet the requirements of various system configurations, without wiring
modifications from the pre-
engineered harness and inter -connect system. The LMS shall consolidate all
load management signals, relays and indicators and shall attach to the harness
system through connectors.
The LMS shall monitor the main battery bank and shall be capable of monitoring
a second, independent battery or battery bank (if present). The voltage detected
on each of the battery banks shall be displayed by the load management system.
The load management system shall be configurable so that any warning light or
switch controlled by the system can be assigned or reassigned without additional
wiring or modifications from the pre-engineered harness and interconnect
system.
A control switch (or device 0 can be assigned a mode of operation. There shall
be three possible modes of operation:
1) Scene Mode: The device can be turned "ON" only when the park brake is
set.
2) Response Mode: The device can be turned "ON" only when the park brake is
not set.
3) All Mode: The device can be turned "ON" without regard to park brake
position.
A control switch or device) can be assigned to be dependent, or not dependent,
upon the Master Warning Switch. Devices that are not dependent on the Master
Warning Switch will sequence "ON" when the vehicle power is turned on.
Devices that are dependent on the Master Warning Switch will sequence "ON"
when the Master Warning Switch is turned on.
Any control switch or device can be assigned a priority level at which a given
device is sequenced "ON" and "OFF" and at which point the given device is
automatically shed (turned OFF) by the load management device during low
system voltage conditions.
There shall be nine (9) levels of priority programmable for any given device
connected to the load management system. Devices will be sequenced "ON"
from priority 0 (PO) to priority 8 (P8). Devices will sequence off from P8 to PO.
When load management is enabled, devices assigned P8 shall be shed first, P1
is to be shed last. PO devices shall not be shed by the load management control.
Any control switch or device can be assigned two modes for reactivation:
Automatic - The load will reactivate when system voltage increases
appropriately. SHED HOLD — The load will not reactivate once it is shed.
16
The following load management functions shall be active whenever the chassis
park brake is set:
The load management system shall be capable of activating the apparatus high
idle system when the system voltage drops to an unacceptable level. The load
management system shall activate the high idle feature before any devices are
automatically shed OFF. The high idle function request from the load
management device shall function only if the appropriate interlocks are present;
that is, control of the high idle system is monitored and shall be superseded by
the state of the interlock control module. The automatic high idle system shall be
deactivated whenever the brake pedal is pressed, and shall remain inactive for
two minutes thereafter to allow an operator to override the high idle function and
return the engine to idle before pump or PTO engagement.
The load management system shall be capable of automatically turning off
device loads when the system voltage becomes degraded. Loads will shed
according to their assigned priority levels. Electrical loads will be turned off only
after the system voltage drops to the given priority shed point for more than one
minute. Once a load is shed, it shall remain off for a minimum of five minutes
and until the voltage exceeds the given shed point by at least 0.2 volts (if it is
programmed to automatically reset). If a load is programmed to remain off after it
is shed, the given load shall remain off until the Master Switch is toggled, or a
"power -on" cycle (POC) is initiated.
The following load management functions will be active in both scene and
response mode. The load management system shall provide a low voltage
output which meets the NFPA recommended timing and voltage levels. The load
management system shall provide a warning if voltage measured on an attached
secondary battery bank (or voltage source) falls below 11.9 volts. The load
management device shall support a user configurable load management output.
The output shall be capable of being set at any voltage between 10.5 volts and
15 volts. If the Set Point is selected below 13.8 volts, the output shall activate
when the voltage drops to or below the desired set point; this shall allow the
output to be utilized to activate an auxiliary device or alarm at a user defined
point. If the Set Point is selected at or above 13.8 volts, the output shall activate
when the voltage rises to or above the Set Point; this shall allow the output to be
utilized to activate an over -voltage alarm at a user defined point.
LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS
The load management system features shall be easily configured through an on-
board configuration menu. They system shall display the settings for each
independent switch configuration and adjustable output.
The load management system shall provide visual indication of:
Operating mode
Master warning switch status
Main battery voltage
Secondary battery voltage
User set point value
On/off indicator for each output
Output priority level
Load management enable input
17
POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The electrical package shall incorporate power distribution modules (PDM)s as
an integral part of the electrical system to supply power to all loads controlled by
the load management system, including all warning lights, the air conditioning
system, and all interior lighting. Each PDM shall be able to switch current to
circuits via plug-in replaceable relays. Plug-in automatic, self -resetting circuit
breakers shall also be provided. To minimize failures and voltage drop, each
PDM shall have no point-to-point wiring and shall include integral connectors so
as to be a plug-in component in the electrical system.
74-10-23 CAB INTERIOR
The front dash area shall be a highly tooled powder coated aluminum, styled into
two cockpits; one in front of the driver and one in front of the officer. They shall
be separated by the insulated engine enclosure which shall have a contoured
front, symmetrical with the dual cockpits. The center section of the dash shall
bridge the engine tunnel and shall provide a central instrument and control panel,
