• Water flow monitored by the aerial microprocessor
• 5.00" inlet to the aerial waterway

Communication System
• Atkinson communication system between the tip of the ladder and the turntable console, with optional third station at pump panel
• Master control at the turntable with push button talk and volume control
• Self contained "hand-off' speaker/mic at the tip of the ladder

Electrical System
• Electrical swivel capable of 360 degrees with 36 collector rings, each capable of 20 amps
• 110V electrical system located in basket
• Four (4) 12V unity lights standard, two (2) at tip, two (2) at base

Pump and Pumphouses
• A midship pumphouse, centered in the frame, rear of the aerial turntable
• Suction inlets:
   • One 6-inch main on driver's side
   • One or two 6-inch main on passenger side.
   • One 3-inch tank to pump line. Will be air actuated
• Discharge outlets:
   • Two 2.5-inch inch on driver's side
   • One 2.5-inch or 3-inch on passenger side
   • One 4-inch LDH on passenger side
   • Two 2-inch crosslays
   • One 1-inch tank fill
