Power Source Rating
For power sources of 8 kW or larger, the power source manufacturer shall declare the continuous duty rating that the
power source can provide when installed on fire apparatus according to the manufacturer’s instructions and run at 120°F
(49°C) air intake temperature at 2000 ft (600 m) above sea level.
The rating on the power source specification label shall not exceed the declared rating from the power source
manufacturer.
Access shall be provided to permit both routine maintenance and removal of the power source for major servicing. The
power source shall be located such that neither it nor its mounting brackets interfere with the routine maintenance of the
fire apparatus.
Instrumentation
If the power source is rated at less than 3 kW, a “Power On” indicator shall be provided. If the power source is rated at 3
kW or more but less than 8 kW, a voltmeter shall be provided.
If the power source is rated at 8 kW or more, the following instrumentation shall be provided at an operator’s panel:
1. Voltmeter
2. Current meters for each ungrounded leg
3. Frequency (Hz) meter
4. Power source hour meter
The instrumentation shall be permanently mounted at an operator’s panel. The instruments shall be located in a plane
facing the operator. Gauges, switches, or other instruments on this panel shall each have a label to indicate their function.
The instruments and other line voltage equipment and controls shall be protected from mechanical damage and not
obstructed by tool mounting or equipment storage.
An instruction plate(s) that provides the operator with the essential power source operating instructions, including the
power-up and power-down sequence, shall be permanently attached to the apparatus at any point where such operations
can take place.
Operation
Provisions shall be made for placing the generator drive system in operation using controls and switches that are
identified and within convenient reach of the operator.
Where the generator is driven by the chassis engine and engine compression brakes or engine exhaust brakes are
furnished, they shall be automatically disengaged for generator operations.
Any control device used in the generator system power train between the engine and the generator shall be equipped with
a means to prevent unintentional movement of the control device from its set position in the power generation mode.
If there is permanent wiring on the apparatus that is designed to be connected to the power source, a power source
specification label that is permanently attached to the apparatus at the operator’s control station shall provide the operator
with the information required.
The power source, at any load, shall not produce a noise level that exceeds 90 dBA in any driving compartment, crew
compartment, or onboard command area with windows and doors closed or at any operator’s station on the apparatus.
