Revised 4/10/09
Page 42 of 97
Demo #3700
Smeal Fire Apparatus Co.
Rearmount Pumper
The apparatus shall be equipped with a V-MUX multiplex system, no substitutes accepted. The
manufacture of the multiplex system shall provide at a minimum three (3) cities of reference that
have at least ten (10) trucks operational for over a one (1) year period. The multiplex system
hardware that is being put into the apparatus of this bid shall be field proven for a minimum of two
(2) years. Any multiplex system that has less then 200 systems in vehicles with less then two (2)
years field time on the identical hardware that shall 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
shall 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 shall be No Exceptions.
Outputs:
The outputs shall perform all the following items without added modules to perform any of the
tasks.
1. Load Shedding: The system shall have the capability to load shed with 8 levels any output. This
means you can specify which outputs (barring NFPA restrictions) you 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. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform
this function.
2. Load Sequencing: The system shall 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 your vehicle, and can help limit damage to your
charging system. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must
perform this function.
3. Output Device: The system shall 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 shall be
acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.
4. Flashing Outputs: The system shall 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 can also be used to warn of
problems or other unique idea you may come up with. No add-on modules shall be acceptable;
the module with the outputs must perform this function.
5. PWM: The modules shall have the ability to PWM at some outputs so that a Headlight PWM
module is not needed. No add-on modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs
must perform this function.
6. Diagnostics: An output shall be able to detect either a short or open circuit. The System shall be
able report in “real time” a text based message that points the maintenance person to a specific
output.
Inputs:
1. The inputs shall have the ability to switch by a ground or battery signal.
2. The inputs shall 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 shall 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 shall be an integral part of the multiplex system. No add-on modules shall be
acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.
Auto-Throttle:
The multiplex system shall 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 shall be handled with existing inputs and outputs. No add-on
modules shall be acceptable; the module with the outputs must perform this function.
Displays:
Displays shall 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 shall 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 shall be able to perform in extreme temperature conditions, from 40° to +85°
C (-40° to +185° F.) The system shall be sealed against the environment, moisture, humidity, salt
or fluids such as diesel fuel, motor oil or brake fluid. The enclosures shall be rugged to withstand
being mounted in various locations or compartments around the vehicle. The modules shall be

The frame shall consist of double channel side rails and cross members forming a ladder style
frame. The sides of the rails shall be constructed of "C" channel, 10.25 inches high X 3.5 inches
deep X .38 inches thick with an inner channel of 9.44 inches high X 3.13 inches deep and .38
inches thick, 110,000 psi minimum yield high strength low alloy steel. Each rail shall be considered
on the following key items: Each rail shall be rated by a Resistance Bending Moment (RBM)
minimum of 3,213,100 inch pounds and have a minimum section modulus of 29.21 cubic inches
calculated by the radius method. The frame shall measure 35.00 inches in width.
RBM refers to the measure of stiffness of a cross section relative to the yield stress of the material
the frame is manufactured from.
Every cross sectional profile of an object has a measure of its mechanical properties based on its
shape. These properties of its shape can be broken down relative to the horizontal and vertical
direction, represented as Ixx and Iyy. These act as a measure of the shape’s resistance to bending.
The section modulus of mass of this profile takes into consideration the stresses imposed on this
profile when a load is applied, by considering the maximum distance from the center of the profile
to its outer most extremity. Section modulus is a method of measurement for the relative stiffness
of a beam section and is based on the horizontal and vertical directional value plus the distance
from the center of mass to the extremities of the cross section from the coordinate axis, such that
Zyy = Iyy/Y and Zxx = Ixx/X.
Proposals calculating the frame strength using the “box method” shall not be considered.
Proposals including heat treated rails shall not be considered. Heat treating frame rails produces
rails that are not uniform in their mechanical properties throughout the length of the rail. Rails
made of high strength, low alloy steel are already at the required yield strength prior to forming the
rail.
A minimum of seven (7) fully gusseted 0.25 inch thick cross members shall be installed. The
inclusion of the engine mounting, body mounting, pump mounting or bumpers shall not be
considered as a cross member. The cross members shall be attached using grade 8 flanged head
bolts and flanged lock nuts. Each cross member shall be mounted to the frame rails a minimum of
utilizing 0.25 inch thick gusset reinforcement plates at all corners balancing the area of force
throughout the entire frame.
Any proposals not including additional reinforcement for each cross member shall not be
considered.
All holes for bolts shall be drilled into the frame rails, preventing fracture or fatigue. Each hole shall
be custom placed relative to its component preventing unnecessary holes that present fatigue
along each frame rail.
