NFPA1901 Angle of Approach definition: “To determine the angle of approach, place a thin steel strip against the front of the tires where they touch the ground or stretch a tight string from one front tire to the other at the front where they touch the ground. Determine the lowest point (component or equipment) on the vehicle forward of the front tire that would make the smallest angle of approach. Hang a plumb bob from the lowest point and mark the point on the ground where the point of the plumb bob touches. Measure the vertical distance from the ground to the point where the plumb bob was hung (distance Measure the horizontal distance from the plumb bob point to the steel strip or string running from front tire to front tire (distance Divide the vertical distance by the horizontal distance. The ratio of V/H is the tangent of the angle of approach. If the ratio is known, the angle of approach can be determined from a table of trigonometric functions of angles or from a math calculator. The standard requires a minimum angle of approach of 8.00 degrees: since the tangent of 8.00 degrees is 0.1405, if V divided by H is 0.1405 or larger, the angle of approach is 8.00 degrees or greater.” AXLE CONFIGURATION The chassis shall feature a 4 x 2 axle configuration consisting of a single rear drive axle with a single front steer axle. GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS FRONT The front gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of the chassis shall be 20,000 pounds.

No Exceptions. The switches shall be used for activation of the compartment lights and to provide a signal to the door open circuit in the cab. V-MUX ELECTRICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The apparatus shall be equipped with a V-MUX Multiplex System. There are several key benefits to multiplexing, one is to reduce the amount of connections in a vehicle's electrical system, because of this it is important to limit the number of modules that control certain functions of the vehicle. Outputs: The outputs shall perform all the following items without added modules to perform any of the tasks: • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function. • 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. • Diagnostics: An output shall be able to detect either a short or open circuit. Inputs: The inputs shall have the ability to be switched by a ground or battery signal. ---PAGE BREAK--- Bidder Complies Yes No Gordon County Fire-Rescue 125 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 shall 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: The Multiplex system shall be able to perform in extreme temperature conditions, from -40° to +85° C (-40° to +185° The system shall be sealed against the environment, moisture, humidity, salt or fluids such as diesel fuel, motor oil or brake fluid. The enclosures shall be rugged to withstand being mounted in various locations or compartments around the vehicle.
