I'm hoping I can get an answer to this question regarding NFPA 1901 current 2009 Edition and it's interpretation on this topic.
I have a customer that would like me to upgrade all of the lighting on their Class A pumper. They currently have a halogen/strobe setup on the truck, and would like to go all LED. I will be replacing all current strobe and or halogen warning lights with like-product Whelen LEDs (e.g. 700 series strobes with 700 series Super LEDs or M7s, halogen rear upper rotators with LED mini bars, etc). I believe the apparatus has enough warning in it's current state to meet the current NFPA guidelines, however the vehicle does not have park-kill for any clear front warning. Do I need to install a park-kill circuit to cut all clear warning to the front, or could I accomplish this with a separate switch? Must the upfit meet the current NFPA guidelines, or is it grandfathered in from the NFPA guidelines when it was built (it is a 1995 E-One build).
Before I quote this, I just want to make sure I'm covering all of my bases.
Thanks in advance,
wolfman
