On type I & III generator powered emergency medical service units, all cab/chassis <br /> electrical systems shall remain intact. Cab/chassis electrical systems shall act as an auxiliary system that will <br /> provide power to the primary system when the generator is not running. <br /> 3.7.1.1 Warning Indicators. On panels providing alpha/numeric displays with warning indicators the display shall <br /> be designed to scroll between warnings when two (2) or more warning conditions are present, or the warning <br /> indicator shall include an audible device which shall only cease when manually overridden, at which time the <br /> display shall scroll to any additional warnings. <br /> 3.7.2 Wiring Installation. On type 111, & III emergency medical service units all wiring shall be stamped and <br /> "function" coded over the continuous length of the wiring which shall be an uninterrupted run from the electrical <br /> panel to the fixture or item it serves. No wiring splices shall be allowed. The function nomenclature shall be a <br /> name (i.e. siren) on the wire and not a code to which the end user agency must refer to a table or listing. Only one <br /> component requiring electrical power shall be allowed on each wire.
