Additionally, if system is powered, it must comply with Division 1 explosion proofing standards due to potentially flammable vapors present in hangar environment. • Automatic Protection of equipment from overdrive damage and lightning protection. • System must provide single on/off switch at personnel level with clearly visible (flashing or steady light) indication of operation status from 100-200 feet day or night (not applicable if designed as a passive system). • The final system will require permanent mounts able to withstand periods of high wind of 70-100 knot gusts, snow, rain and typical Missouri climates while not extending past or interfering with each Dock's Lightning Protection System. • System must be able to withstand fire retardant foam/water mixture used in the fire suppression system in each aircraft dock, and equipment must have protective coatings to resist weathering and potential jet fuel corrosion. • System must be able to withstand all heat, acoustical, and vibration loads encountered within the aircraft dock. a. Inside black curtain, temperatures reach 300 degrees Celsius; system cannot be mounted within the black curtain. b. Ambient temperatures are equal to Missouri weather extremes, as the docks are not insulated. c. System must comply with and be designed to withstand vibration and acoustic forces outlined by "USACERL Technical Report FM-92/03 Vibro-Acoustic Analysis".
