The surface above the control panel shall contain all instruments, gauges, test fittings, and optional<br />
controls. This surface shall be referred to as the "instrument panel". The instrument panel shall<br />
be independent and hinged and latched so that it may be opened. All instruments, gauges, and<br />

To improve identification of discharges and intakes, color coded tags shall be provided. The tags<br />
shall utilize an etching process to provide easy visibility and improved field service life. Tags shall<br />
be affixed using an industrial grade adhesive backing, eliminating the need for pop rivets or screws<br />
into the panel or control handle.<br />

A single panel shall be installed on the right side of the pump enclosure. This shall be the area<br />
where any right side discharges, inlets, steamers, and other pump associated equipment are<br />
located. This panel shall be easily removable and held in place with quick release push latches.<br />
It shall be fully removable for pump and plumbing access without the need to use hand tools. Any<br />
electrical equipment that may be installed shall be equipped with connectors so they may be easily<br />

PUMP PANEL LIGHTS - HAVIS SHIELD<br />
The pump operator's control panel and the right side pump panel shall each be illuminated by<br />
Havis Shield "Cold Cathode pump panel lights.<br />
The pump panel lights shall become energized upon setting the parking brake so the gauge<br />
information provided may be consulted at any time the apparatus is parked.<br />
A stainless steel shield shall be installed over the pump panel lights to further protect them from the<br />
elements and to act as a reflector for additional illumination.<br />
PANEL SURFACES<br />
The control panel, instrument panel, and right side pump panel shall be coated with a thermoplastic<br />
material for maximum resistance to abrasion and to minimize glare. The material shall be capable<br />
of withstanding the effects of extreme temperatures and weather.<br />
