Specifications include, but are not limited to: All of the vehicle automation system components must be commercially available for purchase. If a vendor proposes a proprietary vehicle automation system their response will be deemed non-responsive. 1- Furnish and install a multiplexed vehicle automation system incorporated into common touch screen(s) that are custom programmed to monitor and control onboard systems as described throughout these specifications. The automation system software must allow simultaneous distribution of information to multiple onboard control/monitoring stations and the software must be updateable and configurable as required. This system is mandatory as it simplifies start up procedures, contains fewer operating components, reduces operational start-up time, reduces the total amount of wiring in the vehicle and has error detection protocols and troubleshooting features. 2- Automation system includes: a. Two (2) 10” LCD touch screens with custom graphics for control and monitoring. b. Two (2) touch pads with custom graphics for local control of HVAC and lighting. c. One (1) touch pad with custom graphics for local control of awning and scene lighting and monitoring vehicle systems. d. AC power distribution control and monitoring for the generator with power management. e. DC power distribution control and monitoring with I/O channels and 3 battery banks. f. Manual or automatic generator control. g. HVAC and temperature control in each section of the truck. h. Lighting control in each section of the truck and exterior. i. Automatic power transfer switches. j. Automated startup and shutdown mode that will enable the command center to be fully operational/fully deployed in no more than ten minutes time by a single operator. This includes but is not limited to: generator startup, interior and exterior lighting powered on, HVAC systems powered on, galley equipment powered on, audio/video systems powered on, slide outs deployed, stabilizers deployed, radio systems powered on, computer network equipment powered on, battery charging system powered on, satellite data dish launched, satellite TV dish launched, mast raised, and awning extended. k. Storage mode configuration to ensure auxiliary and chassis battery systems are maintained at full charge capacity. Storage mode must also control heating and air conditioning systems at a preset level to maintain interior vehicle temperature. l. Battery Tend mode that automatically starts the generator and charges all battery banks when voltage drops below a user definable voltage setting. The generator will run for approximately two hours to fully charge the battery banks and then shut down. m. Travel mode to maintain interior vehicle temperature and power to critical equipment, such as computers and radios, as the vehicle is traveling to and from the incident scene. n. Night-time (Red) Lighting Mode turns the ceiling lighting in each room from white to red lights. o. Reduced Lighting Mode is white ceiling lighting in each room have the option of All-On or Half-On. p. Safety interlocks and warnings. The automation system touch screen(s) will automatically display a warning message and give an audible alert when the ignition switch is turned to the on position with an item deployed. In order to easily identify the item causing the alert condition, the screen(s) must display a list of all items that are deployed, i.e., mast, slide out, leveling jacks, awning, etc. q. Built in back up features to ensure system is always functional.
