3.15 Wiring Loom <br />The engine wiring shall be routed in conduit or high temperature looms with a rating of 300 <br />degrees Fahrenheit, which is a different color than the OEM chassis manufacturer's loom. All <br />added wiring shall be in protective loom, located in accessible, enclosed and protected locations, <br />and kept at least six inches away from the exhaust system components. Electrical wiring and <br />components shall not terminate in the oxygen storage compartment except for the compartment <br />light and door switch plunger. Wiring necessarily passing through an oxygen compartment shall <br />be routed in a metal conduit. All conduits, looms and wiring shall be secured to the body or <br />frame with insulated metal straps in order to prevent sagging and movement which results in <br />chafing, pinching, snagging, or any other damage. All apertures on the vehicle shall have <br />properly installed grommets for passing wiring and conform to SAE 1292. All items used for <br />protecting or securing the wiring shall be appropriate for the specific application and be standard <br />automotive, aircraft, marine or electronic hardware. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes— <br />3.19 Circuit Connections <br />Circuit connections shall be made on high current terminal block, brass bolts, or approved <br />electronic connectors. Connection components selected to minimize heat generation under <br />circuit load. All terminals shall fasten directly to the terminal block or be machine crimped to <br />plastic enclosed spade terminals or open ring connectors. / <br />Does your bid comply? Yes l0 No <br />The use of "Scotch- Lock" type fasteners is NOT ACCEPTABLE To ensure minimal voltage <br />drop and secure connections, NO splices shall be allowed in the wiring harness. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes--L,/No <br />3.20 Wirinji Gauge <br />All main harness wiring installed by the ambulance manufacturer shall be rated to carry 125% of <br />the maximum load ratings of the circuit it is designed to service. All cables larger than 18 AWG <br />shall have the terminals mechanically crimped to insure minimal voltage drop. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes t! No <br />3.21 Battery Cable Routing <br />The routing of the battery cable shall be from the engine compartment to the main power <br />distribution panel. This panel's location is defined by where the manufacturer elects to mount <br />the major electrical components that control the electrical system. The manufacturer may mount <br />this panel at a place in the vehicle of his own choosing so long as it is NOT in the engine <br />compartment or in an outside storage compartment. The battery cables shall be 00 AWG cables <br />run to the main power distribution panel via the cab and shall be fully protected by high <br />temperature loom and routed through rubber insulated metal cable clamps. The battery cables <br />shall not be routed under chassis frame components. Cables routed in this manner shall render <br />the bidder as unresponsive and shall constitute grounds for rejection of any vehicle delivered to <br />this agency. <br />Does your bid comply? Yes No <br />Attac4ent number 1 <br />F -5 Page 112 <br />
