Nice pics.

The charge isolators on the white appliances are a little different.. they cut power to the vehicle completely. We don't have things such as MDT's and Radio's to keep powered whilst parked up in the station, however...

(I lie, the first new-model light tanker we ever got doesnt cut power.. every one delivered since does though)

The LT are also fitted with the isolation switch but the stations HSR and Scania Punmp arent. The VFRS tanker and HSR are not fitted with mdt either. There was talk along time ago of fitting them to volunteer appliances but has never been done.

What I meant was, in the white appliances it cuts power completely when plugged into the charger or isolated.. cant even turn on the lights (as you have done with your pic).

Yeah, but that is seriously cheap compared to Code3 and other alternatives that used to be used...
