high x 18" wide. This door shall hinge on the left side for ease of access for maintenance and repair and shall have a SouthCo flip -latch to secure it in the closed position. Adequate ventilation shall be supplied through two (2) polished metal, louvered vents located near the top and bottom of the door. Y N 3.3 PORTABLE EQUIPMENT CHARGING CIRCUIT Two (2) additional 12 VDC circuits for charging portable battery powered devices, i.e. Suction units, hand lights, defibrillators, portable radios, etc. shall be provided. These circuits shall prevent discharge of chassis batteries by only permitting the charging of portable devices when the vehicle is either running or the battery conditioner is connected to shore power (operational). This implies that a battery conditioner is required and may be specified in a different location within these detailed specifications but is not necessarily being specified within this paragraph. A minimum of 10-amp circuit breaker protection shall be provided for each circuit. These tagged, identified leads shall be located, one (1) in the patient compartment and one (1) in the vehicle cab. These leads shall not be connected to power nor shall they have any connectors attached at either end. These circuits are intended for unspecified future use. t/ Y ?� N_ 3.4 SEQUENCER / LOAD MANAGER To prevent excessive loading or load spikes on the electrical generating system at system start up, a sequencer/load manager shall be integrated into the main circuit board for stepped control of the main master emergency functions. The sequencer shall sequence ON or OFF all master emergency functions at 0.5 second intervals. The sequencer/load manager shall sequence specified loads ON, in the following manner: 1. Body Warning Lights 2. Patient Compartment Dome Lights 3. Patient Compartment HVAC 4. Front Light Bar 5. Intersection and Grille Lights 6. Rear Light Bar- if installed 7. Wig -Wag Headlights- if installed When a "low voltage" situation is detected, an audible alarm shall sound, and an indicator light shall illuminate signaling the situation. When the vehicle transmission is in PARK, the load manager shall shed emergency functions until the system output voltage and the amperage draw of the systems still in operation equalize. When in PARK and the vehicle PARK BRAKE is applied, the Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) will activate to provide additional voltage for the system. If the "low voltage", 12.0 volts or lower persists, the sequencer/load manager shall initiate the load shedding sequence at each 0.2-volt increment in the reverse order of these emergency functions. NOTE: Vital medical equipment such as suction aspirator system and/or electric oxygen valve shall not be included in the load shedding sequence. These systems shall remain powered until total failure of the electrical generating system occurs. YK N
