AerialCats are recognized as
the strongest ladders available and now KME takes smooth
operation to a whole new level. Our new IQAN E-ControlTM
provides smoother, safer, and easier motion controls than
any truck ever built for the fire service.
Features:
- Full motion control
operating system for all aerials
- Control system for all
interlocks and safety features
- Information displays at
the operator positions
- CAN-bus technology
- Auto-level for outrigger
system and bucket leveling
- Full extension indicator
- Elevation angle
indicator
- Rotation degree
indicator
- Cab & body avoidance
systems
- Moment load indicator
- Breathing air level
indicator
- Plug and play parts
replacement
- Non-proprietary
components are usedReduction in wire harnesses, relays
and terminals
- Elimination of magnetic
switches
- Information display at
turntable and/or platform control stations
- Built-in troubleshooting
capabilities
- Built-in system error
messages
- Designed for future
expansion
MDM Display:
The IQAN E-Control system will include a display module
located at the turntable and or platform control console.
The MDM display will allow the operator to scroll through
a menu of information features and also be designed to
trouble shoot the entire system. The MDM will allow
adjustment to be made to the system without the need of a
separate lap top computer or software.
- Displays ladder status
information
- Up/Down buttons scroll
through display screens
- Function buttons used
for setting IQAN parameters & troubleshooting
- Water resistant
- Displays turntable
position (0° to 360° of rotation)
- Displays ladder
elevation angle
- Displays vertical height
from ground to top edge of platform or centerline of
last rung per NFPA requirements
- Displays horizontal
reach from centerline of rotation to front edge of
platform or centerline of last rung per NFPA
requirements
- Displays moment load in
the platform or at the tip of the ladder
- Warning will be present
at 95% moment load
- Displays percentage of
air remaining in the breathing air cylinders, Warnings
will be present at 50%, 35%, 20% and 0%
The E-Zone system stops rotation or elevation of the
ladder when the operator attempts to position the ladder
in a predefined zone (i.e.; cab avoidance, body avoidance
and short jack operation) eliminating the possibility of
cab or body damage and operation of the device on the
short jack side of the vehicle.
- Increased Safety And
Ease Of Use
- Decreased Chance Of
Operator Error And Damage to cab and body
- Stops the ladder from
rotating off the short jacked side of the truck, but
allows reverse movement to occur (locks out potentially
dangerous controls)
- Visually and audibly
alerts the operator when potential damage could occur
- Allows operation only
outside of cab, body and short jacked zones
- Prevents the ladder from
contacting the extended outriggers
The E-SpeedTM automatically maintains the rotation angular
speed, regardless of ladder position or height, to ensure
safe low angle operation and precise positioning control.
- Controls ladder rotation
speed, proportional to the extension and elevation of
the ladder
- Maintains a constant
rotation angular velocity of the ladder tip/platform
- Automatically reduces
tip speed at low angles
- Allows precise
positioning at full extension and low angles
The E-Cush provides feathering cushion for the
extension/retraction system, elevation system, and
outrigger functions.
E-Cush will automatically feather the movement of the
ladder and outriggers when the hydraulic cylinders
approach full
extension or full retraction, regardless of the input
speed from the operator. Increased Platform Occupant
Safety by:
- Eliminating Sudden Stops
and Starts
- Smooth, precise and
consistent operationPosition controlled stop contained
within the software program
- Programmed deceleration
based on position
- Feathers ladder movement
at the extremes
- Prevents hard stops
during extension, retraction and elevation
