SIREN SPEAKER
 
There shall be one (1) Cast Products polished aluminum 100 watt speaker provided.  The speaker shall be recessed into the left (driver's) side of the front bumper immediately outboard of the chassis frame rails.

BATTERY CHARGER 
 
A PRO MARINER / ON BOARD SOLUTIONS advanced electronic 4-step battery charger/power supply with a 40 amp output shall be installed, under the driver's seat.  

Since shoreline power is not always stable the charger shall be equipped with Auto-Ranging AC Input to automatically accept global voltages of 90 VAC to 270 VAC at 45-440 Hz.

Field Selectable - Use with lead/acid or gel batteries (AGM factory option). Select length of absorption charge cycle based on size of batteries. 
In the 4-step charging system the charger will provide the following sequence.
Step 1: Fast Charge - Charger will deliver its maximum amperage rating to the connected batteries for the fastest charge (current regulation mode) until battery voltage is raised to 14.6V (lead acid factory setting).   At this time, the ProTech will shift to step 2. 
Step 2: Absorption Charge - Maximizes charge and holds voltage (voltage regulation mode) at 14.6V (lead acid factory setting) for 1 to 4 hours (selectable based on battery size), while letting the batteries determine the amount of amps they can accept.  This mode creates activity in the batteries, reducing sulfate buildup, and conditions the batteries for an extended life.  After the programmed 1 to 4 hours have elapsed, the ProTech will shift to step 3. 
Step 3: Float Mode - A precision 13.3V (lead acid factory setting) finishing voltage that maintains each battery (step-down voltage regulation mode), which is perfect for short or long storage periods and will never overcharge your batteries.  ProTech will deliver its full rated output for house loads including: lighting, electronics and pumps.
Step 4: Recycle - If there are very large loads on the battery while the charger is on, the unit will recycle to the first step, ensuring that batteries stay fully charged. 
One-Year Warranty - Includes lifetime repair guarantee. 
Certified to - UL Marine 1236/SA 

SHORELINE AUTO-EJECT 
 
A KUSSMAUL Super Auto Eject, model 091-55-20-120, with weatherproof cover shall be provided.
 
The Super Auto Eject is to be completely sealed to prevent internal contamination of the working components. 
 
The internal switch arrangement of the Super Auto Eject shall be designed to close and open the 120-volt AC circuit after the mating connector is inserted and before the connector is removed.  This design shall prevent arcing at the connector contacts to provide long life. 
 
The electrical connection shall be provided as a 120-volt AC - 20 amp type using a NEMA 5-20P connector.

The Auto-Eject cover shall be a Kussmaul 091-55YW, yellow in color.

HYDRA TECHNOLOGY

The pump module must employ Hydra Technology.  Due to the design a pump module  manufactured with Hydra Technology is compact in size; massive in performance.

Each component in the module must undergo a selection and placement analysis staff engineers. Utilizing advanced 3D software the engineers goals must provide component placements for ergonomics with a completed module that produces maximum water flow with optimum versatility. Only after the complete analysis and build of the module in the computer can the build of the hardware in the shop begin.

Pump module design beginning with a foundation; cage framework assemblies that are precision manufactured from strong corrosion free heavy wall stainless steel tubing.  This framework mounts to the truck frame through a mounting design complimented with iso-mount elastomer cushions.  The result shall be a mounting system that allows for the twisting movement of the truck frame without undue stress loading of the pump module.

Next assembled shall be the stainless side panels.  Brushed, mirror polished or power coated the stainless steel side panels provide strength and durability.  Precise engineering allows each panel to be laser machined before assembly; instead of drilling holes technicians shall spend their time on assembly techniques that provide installations that breeze through strict quality assurance.

A thorough review of the valve control placements on a control module shall result in a neat and orderly layout.  Open the access door on a side control module and peer inside.  The horizontal control rods appear neat and orderly.  The appearance is only a portion of the requirement.  The same neat and orderly appearance after countless hours of engineering design and ergonomic study provide a smooth trouble free linkage for valve operation.  Another by product of the low profile control rod placement is the ability to offer ladder through the tank storage designs.

On a top control module mount valve controls are attached to the valves through high performance stainless steel aircraft type cable assemblies.  Cables eliminate the inefficiencies of control rods connected to a valve.  Operate a cable controlled top panel and you will feel the difference; smooth and precise across the full valve operation.

The gauge panel door shall be an expansive double wall stainless door supported by a 3/8 inch diameter hinge pin.  The double wall door provides unsurpassed strength and gauge protection while thwarting the casual attempt of tinkering.
