Queens, NY—Rosco Vision Systems expands its Public Safety product depth by introducing the new AccuStyle® FD mirror series for fire apparatus applications. The new FD series offers the best of both worlds from the AccuStyle® and OpenView® designs. The AccuStyle® FD incorporates a full flat 8” x 15” AccuStyle® mirror head and an 8” x 6” convex OpenView® mirror head on a loop-style arm. The loop-style arm and detent mount offer maximum stability with minimum vibrations for increased visibility.
The smooth, aerodynamic shape and light texture of the AccuStyle® lower wind drag, which can lead to cost savings through greater fuel efficiency. The FD assembly’s concealed wire harnessing allows for a seamless design of the vehicle. Employing lightweight materials and construction principles, the heavy-duty “spin” structure isolates the mirror from vibrations.
The standard OpenView® mirror system is a dynamic two-head mirror configuration that offers a “view” between flat and convex mirror heads for drivers who prefer a non-continuous image transition in the mirror lenses. The OpenView® head configuration allows for adjustable forward sightline views around the two mirror heads. Incorporating this design's “open” nature increases visibility and safety for the fire apparatus operator and pedestrians.
“We designed the AccuStyle® FD mirror to assist with apparatus operators' complex driving environments. The FD mirror helps increase driver visibility and safety for those on and around the vehicle,” says Jim Fecile, Rosco’s Public Safety Sales Manager.
The AccuStyle® FD offers upgrades, including external LED signal lights, embedded LED signal lights, a heated lens, motorized mirror heads, and an embedded rear-looking camera.
