In this test a combination of condensation water and atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide was sprayed on the screws. In both tests the Marutex® screws did not show any signs of rust, the 410 and 304 samples on the other hand did.

As part of quality control standards, samples from each batch of Ultra Stainless™ Marutex® screws shall be subject to a salt spray test for a minimum of 2500 hours. The test results shall be provided at any time upon request by the customer.

Unlike conventional load shedding devices you can assign a level to any or all outputs. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs 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 limit damage to your charging system. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.

Verified Idling Reduction Technologies EPA has evaluated idle reduction technologies/devices as part of grants, cooperative agreements, emissions testing, engineering analyses, modeling, demonstration projects and external peer reviewed reports to study the effects of idling on air quality, fuel consumption and driver health. Based on this evaluation and research, EPA has determined that a variety of idle reduction technologies save fuel and reduce emissions when compared to idling the main engine.

Idle reduction technology allows engine operators to refrain from long-duration idling of the main propulsion engine by using an alternative technology. An idle reduction technology is generally defined as the installation of a technology or device that:

is installed on a vehicle

reduces unnecessary main engine idling of the vehicle or equipment, and/or

is designed to provide services (e.g., heat, air conditioning, and/or electricity) to the vehicle or equipment that would otherwise require the operation of the main drive engine while the vehicle or equipment is temporarily parked or remains stationary.

The SGE auxiliary power unit shall provide 12v DC power, 120/240v A/C power and HVAC for the apparatus. Idle times of the main engine are reduced utilizing automatic start / stop control of the main chassis engine and the APU.

The SGE shall continue to run until the operator hits the start (stop) button or turns off the master power disconnect switch.

Disable Mode

When the mode selector switch is set to “Disable” and the chassis master power disconnect switch is turned on, the SGE system shall be entirely shut-down and inoperable. The system shall remain inoperable until the system selector is moved to either auto or manual mode. The display will continue to function as a chassis engine information center when in disable mode.

The interlock module shall also control and indicate the following functions: Transmission lockup command, high idle control logic with adjustable speed potentiometer for electronic engines, engine run/starter lockout relay, select switch for foot throttle inhibit during pump operation, and cab and body "door ajar" indication with relay for "door open" alarm.

LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS) The electrical package shall include an electrical load management system which will control the warning light switch bank, lighting system operational mode (scene/response), automatic high idle activation, NFPA recommended voltage monitoring, load sequencing, and load shedding functions. The system shall meet the requirements of various system configurations, without wiring modifications from the pre-engineered harness and inter-connect system. The LMS shall consolidate all load management signals, relays and indicators and shall attach to the harness system through connectors. The LMS shall monitor the main battery bank and shall be capable of monitoring a second, independent battery or battery bank (if present). The voltage detected on each of the battery banks shall be displayed by the load management system. The load management system shall be configurable so that any warning light or switch controlled by the system can be assigned or reassigned without additional wiring or modifications from the pre-engineered harness and interconnect system.

A control switch (or device) can be assigned a mode of operation. There shall be three possible modes of operation: 1) Scene Mode: The device can be turned "ON" only when the park brake is set. 2) Response Mode: The device can be turned "ON" only when the park brake is not set.

3) All Mode: The device can be turned "ON" without regard to park brake position.

A control switch or device can be assigned to be dependent, or not dependent, upon the Master Warning Switch. Devices that are not dependent on the Master Warning Switch will sequence "ON" when the vehicle power is turned on. Devices that are dependent on the Master Warning Switch will sequence "ON" when the Master Warning switch is turned on.

Any control switch or device can be assigned a priority level at which a given device is sequenced "ON" and "OFF" and at which point the given device is automatically shed (turned OFF) by the load management device during low system voltage conditions. There shall be nine (9) levels of priority programmable for any given device connected to the load management system. Devices will be sequenced "ON" from priority 0 (P0) to priority 8 (P8). Devices will sequence off from P8 to P0. When load management is enabled, devices assigned P8 shall be shed first, while P1 is to be shed last. P0 devices shall not be shed by the load management control. Any control switch or device can be assigned two modes for reactivation: Automatic - The load will reactivate when system voltage increases appropriately. SHED HOLD - The load will not reactivate once it is shed.



Unit #4080

The following load management functions shall be active whenever the chassis park brake is set:

The load management system shall be capable of activating the apparatus high idle system when the system voltage drops to an unacceptable level.

The high idle function request from the load management device shall function only if the appropriate interlocks are present; that is, control of the high idle system is monitored and shall be superseded by the state of the interlock control module. The automatic high idle system shall be deactivated whenever the brake pedal is pressed, and shall remain inactive for two minutes thereafter to allow an operator to override the high idle function and return the engine to idle before pump or PTO engagement.

The load management system shall be capable of automatically turning off device loads when the system voltage becomes degraded. Loads will shed according to their assigned priority levels. Electrical loads will be turned off only after the system voltage drops to the given priority shed point for more than one minute. Once a load is shed, it shall remain off for a minimum of five minutes and until the voltage exceeds the given shed point by at least 0.2 volts (if it is programmed to automatically reset). If a load is programmed to remain off after it is shed, the given load shall remain off until the master switch is toggled, or a "power-on" cycle (POC) is initiated.

The following load management functions will be active in both scene and response mode. The load management system shall provide a low voltage output which meets the NFPA recommended timing and voltage levels. The load management system shall provide a warning if voltage measured on an attached secondary battery bank (or voltage source) falls below 11.9 volts. The load management device shall support a user configurable load management output. The output shall be capable of being set at any voltage between 10.5 volts and 15 volts. If the Set Point is selected below 13.8 volts, the output shall activate when the voltage drops to or below the desired Set Point; this shall allow the output to be utilized to activate an auxiliary device or alarm at a user defined point. If the Set Point is selected at or above 13.8 volts, the output shall activate when the voltage rises to or above the Set Point; this shall allow the output to be utilized to activate an over-voltage alarm at a user defined point.

LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND DIAGNOSTICS
