RAMSEY FIRE DEPARTMENT <br /> BODY SPECIFICATIONS <br /> <br />Alternator Performance Test At Full Load <br /> <br />The total continuous electrical toad shall be activated with the engine running up to the engine <br />manufacturer's governed speed. The test duration shall be a minimum of 2 hours. Activation of <br />the load management system shall be permitted during the test. However, an alarm sounded by <br />excessive battery discharge, as detected by the system required to notify apparatus personnel of <br />electrical system failure, or a system voltage of less that 11.7 volts dc for a 12 volt nominal <br />system for more that 120 seconds, shall be considered a test failure. <br /> <br />Low Voltage Alarm Test <br /> <br />Following completion of the above tests, the engine shall be shut off. The total continuous <br />electrical load shall be activated and shall continue to be applied until the excessive battery <br />discharge alarm activates. <br /> <br />The battery voltage shall be measured at the battery terminals. With the load still applied, a <br />reading of less that 11.7 volts dc for a 12 volt nominal system shall be considered a test failure. <br /> <br />The battery system shall then be capable of restarting the engine. Failure to restart the engine <br />shall be considered test failure. <br /> <br />Custom Chassis <br />CUSTOM CHASSIS <br /> <br />The apparatus shall be manufactured using a custom chassis. The chassis manufacturer shall be <br />notified of the purpose of the chassis as a fire apparatus. There shall be a specification to detail <br />the items included in the chassis. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 33 <br /> <br /> <br />
