·-··- <br />3.5 LOW VOLTAGE MONITORING SYSTEM <br />There shall be installed , as an integral funct ion of the ambulance convers ion main <br />power board, circuitry that continually monitors electrical system voltage. This <br />system shall activate an audible alarm and a steady burn red LED warning light to <br />indicate that system voltage has reached or fallen below 11. 7 volts. There shall be <br />included a switch to deactivate the audible alarm. The audible alarm, LED indicator <br />light and the switch shall be located on an auxiliary control panel located in the <br />drivers control console below the main switch panel. / <br />Y_N_· <br />3.6 DRIVER SWITCHING CONSOLE <br />A console shall be built onto the engine cover. At the far right of the console will be <br />housed the patient code lights and door open indicator lights. The ammeter, <br />voltmeter, and battery indicator lights shall be located on a separate panel. The <br />ammeter, depending on equipment/chassis manufacturer specified, shall indicate the <br />current flow to the batteries or from the alternator. The 12-volt voltmeter shall <br />indicate the voltage of the batteries. An aud ib le low voltage-warning device shall be <br />installed with a reset cance l switch. This device shall sound whenever the voltage of <br />the veh icle drops be low 11 .8 vo lts . This device shall automatically reset once the <br />batteries are above 11.8 volts . An engine hour meter will be located near the bottom <br />of the console on the driver's side and will be wired to ensure an accurate reading of <br />running hours. Both the volt and ammeters shall be digital with LED display. <br />The complete console, manufactured of automotive plastics, shall be free of sharp <br />edges and molded to match the contours of the engine cover. It shall contain all <br />emergency switches, module switching, and legends according to their function and <br />have backlighting controll ed by the headlight rheostat. The switches shall be Euro- <br />style, moisture resistant, rocker type, and shall be UL listed and CSA approved. <br />Switch termina ls shall be 1/4" spade types . The switch legends sha ll be engraved <br />p lastic inserts. The backlighting shall light the words themse lves rather than the <br />background. Backlighting shall be accomplished w ith electro-luminescent light strips <br />for their benefits of consistent light output, low amp draw, and extended service life. <br />Switch location and configuration to match current SBFD Medic 4. <br />The console shall contain the following features: <br />Master <br />Primary/Secondary <br />Front Light bar <br />Backup Alarm Disable <br />Horn/S iren <br />Left s ide Scene Light s <br />Rear Load Lights <br />Right side Scene Lights <br />Module Disconnect <br />Patient Status Indicator Lights <br />Patient Door Open Red Light <br />Compartment Door Open Amber Light <br />Hour meter <br />[1] Ammeters <br />V oltmeter <br />Battery Indicator Lights <br />Spare Switch
