automatically restoring the shed electrical loads when a low voltage condition expires. This ensures the integrity of the electrical system. For improved reliability and ease of use, the load manager system will be an integral part of the vehicle's solid state control system requiring no additional components to perform load management tasks. Load management systems which require additional components will not be allowed. The system will include the following features: • System voltage monitoring. • A shed load will remain inactive for a minimum of five minutes to prevent the load from cycling on and off. • Sixteen available electronic load shedding levels. • Priority levels can be set for individual outputs. • High Idle to activate before any electric loads are shed and deactivate with the service brake. o If enabled: ■ "Load Man Hi -Idle On" will display on the information center. ■ Hi -Idle will not activate until 30 seconds after engine start up. • Individual switch "on" indicator to flash when the particular load has been shed. • The information center indicates system voltage. The information center, where applicable, includes a "Load Manager" screen indicating the following: • Load managed items list, with priority levels and item condition. • Individual load managed item condition: o ON = not shed o SHED = shed SEQUENCER A sequencer will be provided that automatically activates and deactivates vehicle loads in a preset sequence thereby protecting the alternator from power surges. This sequencer operation will allow a gradual increase or decrease in alternator output, rather than loading or dumping the entire 12 volt load to prolong the life of the alternator. For improved reliability and ease of use, the load sequencing system will be an integral part of the vehicle's solid state control system requiring no additional components to perform load sequencing tasks. Load sequencing systems which require additional components will not be allowed. Emergency light sequencing will operate in conjunction with the emergency master light switch. When the emergency master switch is activated, the emergency lights will be activated one by one at half - second intervals. Sequenced emergency light switch indicators will flash while waiting for activation. When the emergency master switch is deactivated, the sequencer will deactivate the warning light loads in the reverse order. Sequencing of the following items will also occur, in conjunction with the ignition switch, at half -second intervals: 50 of 89
