Circuit Connections <br />Circuit connections shall be made on a high current terminal block, brass bolts or approved electronic <br />connectors. Connection components are selected to minimize heat generation under circuit load. All terminals <br />shall fasten directly to the terminal block or be machine crimped to plastic enclosed spade terminals or open <br />ring connectors. <br />The use of "Scotch- Lock" type fasteners is NOT ACCEPTABLE. To ensure minimal voltage drop and secure <br />connections, NO splices shall be allowed in the main run of the wiring harness. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes _X_ No <br />Wiring Gauge <br />All main harness wiring installed by the ambulance manufacturer shall be rated to carry 125% of the maximum <br />load ratings of the circuit it is designed to service. All cables larger than 18 AWG shall have the terminals <br />mechanically crimped to insure minimal voltage drop. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes _X_ No <br />Battery Cable Routing <br />The manufacturer may mount a panel at a place in the vehicle of their choosing so long as it is NOT in the <br />engine compartment or in an outside storage compartment. The battery cables shall be 2/0 AWG cables run to <br />the main power distribution panel via the cab and shall be fully protected by high temperature loom and <br />routed through rubber insulated metal cable clamps. The battery cables shall not be routed under chassis <br />frame components. Cables routed in this manner shall render the bidder as unresponsive and shall constitute <br />grounds for rejection of any vehicle delivered to the Purchaser. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes _X_ No <br />Wiring Criteria (1) <br />All wiring devices, outlets, etc., except circuit breakers, and switches shall be rated to carry at least 125% of <br />the maximum ampere load for which the circuit is protected. There shall be a main power distribution board <br />located within the ambulance. This panel shall incorporate an etched -trace "printed" circuit board with plug in <br />style relays and circuit breakers. The panel shall incorporate LED lights indicating relay drive circuit operation. <br />These LED's are labeled to indicate the circuit that is energized. All circuits in the panel shall be permanently <br />29 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />F -2 Page 77 <br />
