Unlike conventional load shedding devices you can assign alevel to any or all outputs. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with theoutputs must perform this function.2. Load Sequencing: The System shall be able to sequence from 0 8 levels any output.With 0 being no delay and 1 being a 1 second delay, 2 being a 2 second delay and so on.Sequencing reduces the amount of voltage spikes and drops on your vehicle, and can help limitdamage to your charging system. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module withthe outputs must perform this function.3. Output Device: The System shall have solid-state output devices. Each solid-state outputshall be a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor - Field Effect Transistors); MOS-FETs are solidstatedevices with no moving parts to wear out. A typical relay when loaded to spec has a life of100,000 cycles. The life of a FET is more than 100 times that of a relay. No add-on modulesshall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.4. Flashing Outputs: The System shall be able to flash any output in either A or B phase, andlogic is used to shut down needed outputs in park, or any one of several combined interlocks. Theflash rate can be selected at either 80, or 160 FPM. This means any light can be specified with amultiplex truck with no need to add flashers. Flashing outputs can also be used to warn ofproblems or other unique idea you may come up with. No add-on modules shall be acceptable;the module with the outputs must perform this function.5. PWM: The modules shall have the ability to PWM at some outputs so that a HeadlightPWM module is not needed. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with theoutputs must perform this function.6. Diagnostics: An output shall be able to detect either a short or open circuit. The Systemshall be able report in “real time” a text based message that points the maintenance person to aspecific output.Inputs:1. The inputs shall have the ability to switch by a ground or battery signal.2.

Thistask shall be handled with existing inputs and outputs. No add-on modules shall be acceptable;the module with the outputs must perform this function.Displays:Displays shall be able to provide real time information regarding Load Shedding and SystemStatus, such as network traffic/errors or shorts and open circuits.System Network:The Multiplex system shall contain a Peer-to-Peer network. A Master Slave Type network is notsuitable for the <strong>Fire</strong>/Rescue industry. A Peer-to-Peer network means that all the modules are equalon the network; a Master is not needed to tell other nodes when to talk.System Reliability:The Multiplex system shall be able to perform in extreme temperature conditions, from 40° to +85°C (-40° to +185° F.) The system shall be sealed against the environment, moisture, humidity, saltor fluids such as diesel fuel, motor oil or brake fluid.

Each rail shall be considered on thefollowing key items: Each rail shall be rated by a Resistance Bending Moment (RBM) minimum of3,213,100 inch pounds and have a minimum section modulus of 29.21 cubic inches in the doublerail area, and a minimum RBM of 1,830,400 inch pounds and a minimum section modulus of 16.64in the single rail area, calculated by the radius method.

The double rail shall continue from the front of the vehicle and shall terminate just ahead ofthe rear axle in order to accommodate the body compartments. The distance from the rear axlecenter line to the rear of the liner shall be no more than 25% of the total length of the wheelbase.RBM refers to the measure of stiffness of a cross section relative to the yield stress of the materialthe frame is manufactured from.Every cross sectional profile of an object has a measure of its mechanical properties based on itsshape. These properties of its shape can be broken down relative to the horizontal and verticaldirection, represented as Ixx and Iyy. These act as a measure of the shape’s resistance to bending.The section modulus of mass of this profile takes into consideration the stresses imposed on thisprofile when a load is applied, by considering the maximum distance from the center of the profileto its outer most extremity. Section modulus is a method of measurement for the relative stiffnessof a beam section and is based on the horizontal and vertical directional value plus the distancefrom the center of mass to the extremities of the cross section from the coordinate axis, such thatZyy = Iyy/Y and Zxx = Ixx/X.Proposals calculating the frame strength using the “box method” shall not be considered.Proposals including heat treated rails shall not be considered. Heat treating frame rails producesrails that are not uniform in their mechanical properties throughout the length of the rail.
