SO-NHP20

Specifications

· All splices of wiring within the wire loom must be spliced with a sonic-weld and protected by heat shrink.

· Color-Coded and Labeled Wiring Easy Circuit Identification speeds installation and repair of emergency equipment. All wires must be clearly marked with the circuit identification to match existing agency vehicles.

· Detailed Color Schematics to create a record of installations for fleet-wide consistency.

· Direct to Battery Grounds Adheres to equipment manufacturer recommendations, reduces RFI and component to component interference.

· Fabricated Wire Harness of High Quality TXL Copper Exceeds SAE Standard J-1128 This stringent requirement provides for heat and flame resistance in high temperature environments including engine compartments.

· Heat Rated: Designed for Long Term Durability Emergency and construction vehicles define severe duty and our products are designed to stand up in the most demanding environments.

· The Wire Harness and Loom are rated at or above 100° C and certain fuses, circuit breakers, and electronic components are rated for 85° C.

· Fire Retardant Protective Loom Provides uniform high-quality appearance and consistency to the final installation. Designed for high heat environments (138° C), it offers greater protection to the harness and vehicle than plastic split loom. The benefits include, No liquid or moisture retention, heat dissipation and minimal wire to wire movement. The braided loom will be constructed of high-performance Polyvinyl Chloride Yarn with a core fiber of Nylon. The yarn shall have a cold flex tolerance to -65° C and a high fire retardancy meeting industry standards of MVSS 302, SAE J369 and UL94.

Application: Main Power Distribution for Patrol Vehicle.

The Power Distribution Center, PDC, shall provide Battery Hot, Ignition Hot, and Timed Delayed Circuits to support the agencies emergency equipment. The PDC will have 6 Gauge Main Power and Ground, with the power wire protected by a Midi-Fuse within 18” of the source. Each output power circuit will have a matching battery direct ground wire to ensure low impedance. Each power circuit will not exceed ½ Volt in voltage drop during normal operation. The Fuse Panel will provide a fuse for each circuit and relays to control the Ignition Hot and Timed Delayed Circuits. The Fuse Panel cover will include a color label detailing fuse location, fuse rating, and the circuit function. Each power and ground wire will be labelled every 4-6” (8AWG & under) and will be color coded to assist in quick installations and servicing.

The Harness will support the Federal Signal Smart Siren light and siren controller, and the harness will feature plug and play connectors to mate to the device. The push bumper harness will have a quick disconnect to allow servicing and replacement of the bumper.
