The Kussmaul Auto Current F-A-6 is a current-sensing and auxiliary-input control device designed to simplify warning indicator circuits in fire apparatus, ambulances, rescue vehicles, command vehicles, and other specialty vehicle electrical systems. By monitoring current flow to multiple electrical loads and providing a remote flashing output signal, the Auto Current F-A-6 allows a single indicator to warn operators when compartment lights or other monitored equipment are energized.
The Auto Current F-A-6 combines the current-sensing capabilities of the Auto Current F with an auxiliary ground-activated input. The sensing terminals are wired in series with the power supplied to the monitored compartment lights. When current flow is detected, the output relay operates and cycles ON and OFF to create a flashing signal for a remote indicator light. The auxiliary input can be connected to multiple switches wired in parallel, allowing any connected switch to activate the warning output independently of the current-sensing circuit. This combination makes the Auto Current F-A-6 ideal for DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE indicators, open compartment door warnings, and other vehicle safety applications.
