American Response Vehicles 36 Outputs 0 through 9 have open load detection circuitry. When an open load is detected a network, message is generated. This message may be utilized as a diagnostic feature or to display a message in the information center in the front switch panel. The Super node II™ special utility functions that include timers (delay on/off and one shot), counters, bi- stable switches, and select J1939 broadcast messages. The Super node II™ has an integrated USB port. The USB port allows for direct connection to the ES-Key system without additional interface devices. The Super node II™ has an integrated Load Manager: An integrated sequential switching of lamp loads is extremely important on this vehicle. An "Emergency Master" switch that simultaneously energizes a large number of lights can momentarily reduce the vehicle's voltage. Similarly, the simultaneous removal of these loads can cause high alternator output voltage transients which may damage sensitive electronic equipment. LOAD MANAGER: An integrated sequential switching of lamp loads is extremely important on this vehicle. An "Emergency Master" switch that simultaneously energizes a large number of lights can momentarily reduce the vehicle's voltage. Similarly, the simultaneous removal of these loads can cause high alternator output voltage transients which may damage sensitive electronic equipment. The LOAD MANAGER sequencer assures that loads are applied and removed gradually, thus eliminating the possibility of inducing failures in the vehicle's equipment. The load manager will be a precision, solid state controller which sequentially switches "ON" multiple circuits at 1/2 second intervals. Individual switches will enable the user (Driver) to select output "ON or "OFF" status, at any time. The sequencer will be initiated by the "Emergency Master" switch. The sequencer priority will be set at the pre-build conference. The aforementioned LOAD MANAGER will monitor the vehicles battery voltage. When the electrical loads have exceeded the charging system output, the voltage falls. When the voltage falls to 11.5 volts, the LOAD MANAGER will begin to shed up to five loads. The load shed priority will be set by the circuit significance, followed closely by circuit draw. The LOAD MANAGER will shed loads until the voltage level begins to rise. The Super node II™ has an integrated Climate Control Module that controls the vehicles air conditioning clutch, heating valve, and fan motor speed with high current digital outputs based upon received J1939 CAN commands from the UV700 or UV450 displays. The Climate Control Module has two modes of operation: automatic and manual. VOLTAGE MONITOR: A voltage monitor will be built into the LX1 electrical system. It will activate a warning light in the cab console, UV700 or UV450 display when the alternator output voltage falls below 11.5 volts. The warning light will be a red back lighted, engraved legend stating Low Voltage. PATIENT CODE ICON/SWITCH: There will be a Patient Code Icon/ Switch in LX-1 labeled "CODE" with audible buzzer to notify Driver. CAMERA #1: There will be a camera mounted on the rear of ambulance body to allow the driver to view as they are backing up. Unless otherwise specified, the camera will be mounted over the rear doors as close to the centerline of the vehicle as possible. The system will include all the necessary cables and adapters to
