Rosenbauer Chassis Electrical Control System

V-MUX What is it? • The Weldon V-MUX is a central control system utilized by the new Rosenbauer engines to manage and control the electrical system on the apparatus and provide a centralized place for the operator to activate and deactivate most of the electrical components on the apparatus. • The screen is located adjacent to the driver’s seat and will sometimes also be referred to as the Vista Display. • Most of the normal chassis operations can be found on one of several screens displayed on the V-MUX.
