An alternator shall be provided that has a rated output current sufficient to provide adequate
power under load. Proposals shall provide details about the alternator brand, make, and amp
a
rating. The alternator shall feature an integral, self diagnostic regulator and rectifier. The 00M
N
alternator shall be connected to the power and ground distribution system with heavy -duty
cables sized to carry the full rated alternator output.

164. ELECTRONIC LOAD MANAGER
An electronic load management ( ELM) system shall be provided that monitors the vehicles 12-
volt electrical system, automatically reducing the electrical load in the event of a low voltage d
condition, and automatically restoring the shed electrical loads when a low voltage condition
expires. This ensures the integrity of the electrical system. Jv
For improved reliability and ease of use, the load manager system shall be an integral part of
E
the vehicle' s solid state control system requiring no additional components to perform load
management tasks. Load management systems which require additional components shall R
not be allowed. Proposals shall provide details of the operational features and functions of the Q
load manager.

165. SEQUENCER
A sequencer shall be provided that automatically activates and deactivates vehicle loads in a
preset sequence thereby protecting the alternator from power surges. This sequencer
operation shall allow a gradual increase or decrease in alternator output, rather than loading or
dumping the entire 12 volt load to prolong the life of the alternator.

14.2.6
For improved reliability and ease of use, the load sequencing system shall be an integral part
of the vehicle' s solid state control system requiring no additional components to perform load
sequencing tasks. Load sequencing systems which require additional components shall not
be allowed.
Emergency light sequencing shall operate in conjunction with the emergency master light
switch. When the emergency master switch is activated, the emergency lights shall be
activated one by one at half- second intervals. Sequenced emergency light switch indicators
shall flash while waiting for activation.
When the emergency master switch is deactivated, the sequencer shall deactivate the warning
light loads in the reverse order. Proposals shall provide details regarding the sequencer and
all other systems that will be affected by its use.
