Smart Power SAE J1939 control system integrates with a vehicle’s multiplexing system. The Smart Power Systems SAE J1939 integrated form provides remote diagnostics and control, both centralized or dispersed; allows for the lowest possible downtime through its advanced diagnostics; and improves generator systems downtime protection. The system provides real-time vital operating parameters and diagnostics such as voltage, temperature, current, true system pressure, calculated load in kilowatts, and power factor.

The Smart Power system also provides important information, dealing with issues such as fan faults, sensor faults, highest operating values reached (voltage, temperature, and current), hours at excessive values, and number of shutdown overrides performed. The widely known Command and Control Center remains as a Smart Power standard system component for use in addition to, or in the absence of, a multiplexing system display. www.smartpower.com, 231-832-5525, ext. 248

Code 3 also offers an online camera system configurator (C3Vue) that allows both the monitor and cameras to be selected then ordered for quick delivery. www.code3esg.com, 314-426-2700

For 17-inch disk Challenger models, the roller bracket assembly is available for eight-inch-wide drums, 12.5-inch-wide drums, and 18-inch-wide drums. www.coxreels.com, 800-269-7335
