CAB CONTROL SYSTEM (DIGITAL)
This system is designated as a Digital integrated
Spray Control System (DiSCS). The system is
comprised of control boxes, logic controllers, sensors,
and cabling. It is a multi-function control system with
a separate joystick box that is mounted in the vehicle
cab. These two boxes control all water tank functions.
The master switch box operates the water pump,
spray heads, intermittent spray, work lights, hose reel,
dump bar, suction loading, and tank drain valve. The
master switch box also provides indications of tanker
water level and water pump protection features. The
remote mounted joystick box operates the water
cannon, adjustable nozzle and foam suppression. The
cab controls require 12/24 VDC vehicle power to
operate.
