Fire & Rescue

HED has developed custom solutions to meet the unique requirements of the fire and emergency industries. HED systems control pump panels, lighting, electrical power management/distribution/load shedding, cab/HVAC, and body I/O. HED can provide an integrated and complete multiplexed solution that will reduce the cost and complexity of your fire or emergency equipment.  

Potential Applications:

• Direct control of foam and CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) systems
• Video input from up to 4 cameras can be integrated with other machine control functions
• Sealed CAN keypads for control of lights, pumps, and discharges
• Pressure governor control
• Sunlight readable displays can be used to integrate and control multiple panel mounted subsystems

• Broad line up of displays to integrate engine, vehicle, and implement controls with integrated diagnostic information and video
• Cab mounted keypads to control lighting, sirens, wipers, HVAC and transmission
• Externally mounted keypads for remote entry and cab lift
• Direct engine, PTO and transmission interface
• Electrical power distribution and control (up to 40 amps per output)
• High current Power modules with integrated current sensing to drive lights, wipers, and HVAC controls

• Distributed lighting control dramatically reduces wire harness size and complexity
• Compartment lighting and door monitoring can be integrated       
• Sealed keypads for outrigger controls

• Precision control of aerial hydraulic functions
• Eliminate slip rings with CAN based multiplexing
• Multiple control stations
• Compact and rugged modules can be mounted directly to aerial booms or baskets
• Modules can be configured as stand alone controllers for implements and other subsystems
• Customized hardware and software for direct control of popular hydraulic valves
• Sunlight visible, rugged, and sealed displays for use on aerial baskets

• Dataloggers with up to 4GB and optional Wi-Fi communication to log critical events
• Real time remote vehicle diagnostics and software update via a fully functional Telematics system
• Aerial envelope control algorithms using a 32 bit processor
• C based development CANLink Orchestra Presto is compatible with advanced development techniques

• User friendly software to allow you to modify and update your control system as required 
• Easily Interface with 3^rd party devices for overall system integration and control

Advantages:

• Distributing the vehicle controls will significantly reduce wiring harness cost size and complexity
• Integrated cab controls reduces complexity and frees up valuable dashboard space
• Integrated pump controls free up valuable pump panel space
• Up to 4 video channels per display eliminates the need for back up camera monitors
• Reduced Installation Cost
• Lower Cost of Ownership
• Reduced Warranty Cost
  • Reduced wiring
  • Robust products

• Closed-loop current control (up to 5mA accuracy) for fine metering and control of aerial devices
• Flexible integrated video allows automated selection of video and/ graphics

• User-friendly software allows you to modify functionality in the field
• Telematics allow you to download new functionality remotely from the web
• CAN based, distributed system allows modules to be added quickly to the system
