RAMSEY FIRE DEPARTMENT BODY SPECIFICATIONS There shall be a removable bulkhead that extends from the side of the body to the inside edge of the rear hinged doors, installed on the back wall of each rear side compartment to protect the wiring associated with the rear lights. There shall be an electrical junction panel behind each bulkhead with a permanently mounted template behind the connectors to identify each circuit. All connections subject to moisture or exposure shall be Deutsch environmentally sealed connectors. All other connections shall be made using Packard interlocking connectors, lugs, or terminals mechanically secured to wires. Engineered Pre-fabricated modular design wiring harnesses shall be used. The wiring harness shall be composed of high temperature (280 degree) copper, multiple strand SXL cross link coated wire designed to carry 125% of the maximum current for which the circuit is protected. The wire shall be of sufficient size so that voltage drop to any electrical device shall not exceed 10% of the system voltage. All wires shall be color coded, numbered and function coded for ease of maintenance. Function and number codes shall be repeated every 3" along the wiring. All circuit numbers shall begin with an identifier to indicate the wire was installed by the body builder. Spare circuits shall be included in the harnesses to permit the addition of components not identified at the time of manufacture. Each harness shall have a tag displaying the part number and revision used to identify the harness. All wiring to be protected with automotive type corrugated loom, braided fabric loom, or PVC conduit. 'Colored as-built wiring harness drawings, colored as-built electrical schematics, and a master circuit list of each electrical circuit that the apparatus builder installs shall be furnished in the delivery manuals. These schematics must show the electrical system broken down into separate functions, or small groups or related functions. Each single sheet schematic shall show an entire electrical function of a small group of related electrical functions in their entirety. Schematics shall depict circuit numbers, wire colors, electrical components, harnesses, and connectors from beginning to end for each circuit. The use of multiple drawings to trace an electrical function will not be accepted. A single drawing for all electrical circuits installed by the apparatus builder will not be accepted. The chassis cab, engine and transmission, and apparatus body are to be completely bonded to the truck frame with braided ground straps. Page 26 of 33
