V-MUX ELECTRICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Prefer the apparatus to be equipped with a V-MUX Multiplex System. The Manufacture of the
Multiplex system will provide at a minimum three cities of reference that have at least 10 trucks
operational for over a one year period. The Multiplex system hardware that is being put into the
apparatus of this bid will be field proven for a minimum of two years. Any multiplex system that
has less then 200 systems in vehicles with less then two years field time on the identical
hardware that will be put into the apparatus shall be excluded from this bid process. Any
Multiplex system with a warranty higher then 1% over the past 2 years will be excluded. There
are several key benefits to multiplexing, one is to reduce the number of connections in a
vehicles electrical system, because of this it is important to limit the amount of modules that
control certain functions of the vehicle, therefore wherever it is stated that an “add-on” module
will not be acceptable, there will be No Exceptions.
Outputs:
The outputs will perform all the following items without added modules to perform any of the
tasks.
1. Load Shedding: The System will have the capability to Load Shed with 8 levels any
output. This means we can specify which outputs (barring NFPA restrictions) we would
like Load Shed. Level 1 12.9v, Level 2 12.5V, Level 3 - 12.1V, Level 4 - 11.7V, Level 5
11.3V, Level 6 10.9V, Level 7 10.5, Level 8 10.1. Unlike conventional load shedding
devices you can assign a level to any or all outputs. Load shedding will be determined at
pre-construction. No add-on modules will be acceptable; the module with the
outputs must perform this function.
2. Load Sequencing: The System will be able to sequence from 0-8 levels any output.
With 0 being no delay and 1 being a 1 second delay, 2 being a 2 second delay and so
on. Sequencing reduces the amount of voltage spikes and drops on our vehicle, and
can help limit damage to our charging system. Load sequencing will be determined at
pre-construction. No add-on modules will be acceptable; the module with the
outputs must perform this function.
3. Output Device: The System will have solid-state output devices. Each solid-state output
shall be a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor - Field Effect Transistors); MOS-FETs
are solid-state devices with no moving parts to wear out. A typical relay when loaded to
spec has a life of 100,000 cycles. The life of a FET is more than 100 times that of a
relay. No add-on modules will be acceptable; the module with the outputs must
perform this function.
4. Flashing Outputs: The System will be able to flash any output in either A or B phase,
and logic is used to shut down needed outputs in park, or any one of several combined
interlocks. The flash rate can be selected at either 80, or 160 FPM. This means any light
can be specified with a multiplex truck with no need to add flashers. Flashing outputs
RFQ (Goods and Services) No.: 1220-41-25-09
74
can also be used to warn of problems. No add-on modules will be acceptable; the
module with the outputs must perform this function.
5. PWM: The modules will have the ability to PWM at some outputs so that a Headlight
PWM module is not needed. No add-on modules will be acceptable; the module
with the outputs must perform this function.
6. Diagnostics: An output will be able to detect either a short or open circuit. The System
will be able report in “real time” a text based message that points the maintenance
person to a specific output.
Inputs:
1. The inputs will have the ability to switch by a ground or battery signal.
2. The inputs will be filtered for noise suppression via hardware and software so that RF or
dirty power will not trick an input into changing its status.
Automatic Climate Control:
The Multiplex system will have the capability to provide automatic climate control, this shall
occur by the use of PWM outputs and a Digital readout that combines other vehicle
functions as well. The Climate control will be an integral part of the Multiplex system. No
add-on modules will be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this
function.
Auto-Throttle:
The Multiplex system will be able to perform automatic high idle via a network gateway or by
using an existing output on a module to provide the proper signals to an OEM Engine ECU.
This task will be handled with existing inputs and outputs. No add-on modules will be
acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.
Displays:
Displays will be able to provide real time information regarding Load Shedding and System
Status, such as network traffic/errors or shorts and open circuits.
System Network:
The Multiplex system will contain a Peer-to-Peer network. A Master Slave Type network is
not suitable for the Fire/Rescue industry. A Peer-to-Peer network means that all the
modules are equal on the network; a Master is not needed to tell other nodes when to talk.
System Reliability:
The Multiplex system will be able to perform in extreme temperature conditions, from 40° to
+85° C (-40° to +185° F.) The system will be sealed against the environment, moisture,
humidity, salt or fluids such as diesel fuel, motor oil or brake fluid. The enclosures will be
rugged to withstand being mounted in various locations or compartments around the
vehicle. The modules shall be protected from over voltage and reverse polarity.
