BATTERY SOLENOID
Battery switch shall consist of a minimum 200 ampere, constant duty solenoid to feed from positive side of battery.
BATTERY CHARGER
One (1) Newmar model PT-80 battery charger shall be provided ideal for charging multiple battery bank systems. The
Newmar Phase Three “Smart” battery charging technology provides significant benefits over traditional float chargers
whose output voltage droops under heavy loads, and fails to attain proper voltage levels recommended by battery
manufactures as part of a proper charge cycle. These issues are particular significant in Emergency Vehicle applications
where rapid recharge is required while powering DC loads, and reliable service life of batteries is critical. PT Series
chargers feature multiple isolated outputs to charge independent battery banks.
Features;
• “Smart” circuitry provides three stage charging—bulk, absorption, float
• Gel-Cell/Flooded Lead-acid/AGM battery type switch selects optimum charge/float voltages
• Multiple isolated outputs - charge independent battery banks*
• Optional sensor adjusts output voltage based on battery temperature*
• Current limiting - charges dead batteries without overload
• Use as a power supply; can power Radios/MDT’s without a battery in line
• Built to last—rugged stainless steel case with circuitry hardened for hostile environments
• Remote meter included
SHORE POWER INLET
One (1) Kussmaul 120 VAC, 30 amp Super Auto-Eject shore power inlet(s) shall be provided. The shore power
connection shall automatically disengage from vehicle when chassis ignition is engaged.
The protective ground from the shoreline inlet shall be bonded to the vehicle frame.
• The outlet cover shall be gray.
• The shore power plug shall be located near the generator door area.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT LIGHT
There shall be one (1) light(s) mounted in the engine compartment with integral switch with a light output of at least 20
candlepower (250 lumens). The engine compartment light(s) shall operate only when the master battery switch is turned
"On".
