PROTECTION AND SAFETY

REQUIREMENTS

Preventative measures
When working on the electrical system
Detach the battery earth lead and fit a line fuse
between the negative battery terminal and the
chassis in order to avoid accidents in the case of
short circuit.

In and under the instrument panel, close to hot air

ducts, temperatures can reach 90 C. Always use
cables which resist at least 105 C in the cab.

Electronic control units and components for such

things as ABS, Opticruise and automatic gearboxes
can be sensitive to heat during oven drying after
painting and to current during such things as arc
welding. Prevent damage as follows:

When oven-drying
See Chapter 2 Painting

When arc welding

See Chapter 2 General recommendations for
bodywork section Welding, general.

When charging Batteries

POWER CONSUMPTION
Batteries, alternator and current consumption must be
matched to each other. There should be a charging
equilibrium.

Alternator capacity should be matched to current

consumption so that battery damage is avoided.

The time aspect is important. The current taken from

the batteries must restored within a day or two.

What is the driving cycle like? Frequent starting and

lengthy idling periods will not charge up the batteries
as efficiently as long-haul runs. The alternator genera-
tes less current at low engine speeds.

Some examples are given below.

Engine speed Alternator

65A 90A
(rpm) (A) (A)
500 30 42
600 40 58
700 46 68
800 50 76
1000 56 82
1200 60 88
1600 64 92

Temperature is also important. A battery is much

less able to accept a charge at low temperatures. To
achieve charging balance the alternator should have
an overcapacity of about 15-25 A. In general, it
could be said that an overcapacity of about 15 A
suffices for a vehicle driven over long distances
without stopping (e.g. long-haul runs) while an
overcapacity of about 25 A is needed for a vehicle
making frequent stops (e.g. a delivery van).

To check whether the alternator has sufficient

capacity, obtain the total current consumption using
the tables below and then add the overcapacity.

Note that this is a very approximate calculation.

Scania CV AB 2003 5
 Electrical system 11

To avoid shortening the useful life of the batteries,

the radio position on the ignition switch should be
used whenever possible for supplying power. In the
drive position the entire electrical system is
engaged, which increases current consumption and
with it a bigger drain on the battery.

SIZING FUSES AND CABLES AND

VOLTAGE LOSS

Calculate how many amps are consumed when

extra equipment is connected in order to size the
fuses and cables.

Use the following equation:

I = P/U

I = Current in amps (A)

P = Power in watts (W)
U = Voltage (V)

If two of P, U and I are known, the third can be

calculated as follows:
U = P/I, I = P/U, P = U x I

Example
Power P = 200 W
Voltage U = 24 V
Always use the correct fuse. An
oversized fuse can cause fire in the
I = 200 W / 24 V = 8.3 A
electrical system.
The calculated total current through a fuse should
not exceed 60 % of the amp rating.

Sizing cables
Current, power and the distance to the load
determine the cross-section of the conductor.
If cables are long, it may be necessary to use a
Current Power Cross-section
thicker cable to reduce voltage loss.

FACTORY-FITTED WIRING
With the exception of tractors, all vehicles can be
ordered with a seven-core cable running from the
cab to the rear end of the frame. Via a connector in
the bulkhead marked C300 this cable is wired to a
white connector marked C105 located under the
central electric unit and terminates without a
connector about 1 metre behind the junction box at
the rear end of the frame.
The cable is of ADR design on vehicles ordered
with ADR.

Electrical items for front-mounted equipment

Vehicles prepared for front-mounted equipment can,
in addition to brackets (see section Equipment
mounted at the front in Chapter 7 Other bodywork
equipment) also be prepared with electrical items
such as switches and cable harnesses.

This electrical preparation consists of three parts:

1. Switch for plough lights on instrument panel.
The switch is marked S65 and fitted in the upper
part of panel E, see attachment Manual: Wiring
diagram, on vehicles without pressure gauge for
axle weight and in the lower part on vehicles with
pressure gauge.
Part numher of the switch is 1391312.
Part number of the switch decal is 1390521.

2. Wiring harness in the instrument panel.

The wiring harness is fitted from switch S65 to the
central electric unit. Part number of the wiring
harness is 1391313.

3. Wiring harness from central electric unit to under-

side of service panel.
Trucks with P and R cabs have four contacts fitted
behind the service panel.
On trucks with T-cab those contacts are to be found
under the service step on the passenger side. The
contacts are marked C364, C365, C366 and C367.

They contain the following signals:

C364 - Signals for main beam, dipped beam, position
light and direction indicators on the left side.
C365 - Signals for main beam, dipped beam, position
light and directon indicators on the right side.
C366 - Signals for position light on front-mounted
equipment, left side.
C367 - Signals for position light on front-mounted
equipment, right side.

There are also four sealing plugs to use whenever the

contacts are not in use. These plugs should always be
used to prevent the contacts from corrosion.

PLACE FOR OPTIONAL ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

IN TOPLINE CAB
Our Topline cabs have two storage compartments on
the rear wall and one compartment on each side wall.

If you wish to use one or more of these spaces to fit

a TV, microwave, CD changer etc., the hatch must
be removed.
The rear part of the compartment is left in position
to protect the cab insulation.
In order to fit extra equipment, a frame must be
manufactured which uses the four screws securing
the compartment.
There is a space above compartment A which can
be used for a small TV or CD changer.
When making the frame for this space, use the top
two screws in compartment A and the bracket just
above on the roof.
When compartments B-C are used, standing space
in the cab is limited with the upper bunk folded
out.

The Opticruise control unit has two different inputs

to handle different types of power take-off / load. EG
The inputs are active at +24 V. Both cables are fitted as standard and the cable to
S30 is connected.
THE INPUTS MUST ONLY BE ACTIVE
WHEN THE LOAD IS COUPLED.

EK/ED Power take-off

This input, pin 9 on the control unit, must be used
for engine-driven (independent of clutch) power
take-offs. The Opticruise can compensate for an
extra torque take-off of maximum 200 Nm during
operation.
Torque compensation can only be made for one
power take-off or one extra load.

EG Power take-off
This input, pin 50 on the control unit, must be used
for gearbox-driven (independent of clutch) power-
take offs.
With this input activated, it is not possible to
change gear while driving. Changing gear with the
power take-off engaged can damage the gearbox.
However, it is possible to engage a gear when the
vehicle is stationary in order to allow range opera-
tion with the power take-off active.

Several power take-offs or other equipment which

require gear locking can use this input. However,
when several signals are connected at the same
time, they must be connected so that no conflict
arises with potential differences.

2000 rpm.
See vehicle Operators manual.

Limited hand throttle

The limited hand throttle basically works in the same
way as the normal hand throttle. The difference is that
engine speed (between 700 and 2000 rpm) and torque
(between 200 Nm and maximum) can be limited to
protect equipment connected to the power take-off.
It is also possible to select whether the throttle pedal
is to be active or disengaged. These options are
programmed by the Scania workshop. The desired
engine speed, up to the programmed rpm, is set with
the cruise control switches. The function is activated
by earthing connector pin 1.
See also vehicle Operators manual.

Raised idling speed

Minimum engine rpm can be selected using the
raised idling speed function. Idling speed can be
increased in this way for such purposes as filling
the compressed air system or warming up the
engine. The function is also useful on vehicles with
a cement mixer.
Engine speed (500-800 rpm) is set with the cruise
control switches and is not disengaged by
activating the brake pedal, clutch pedal, exhaust
brake or retarder. The set engine speed can be
stored in the memory.
The function is activated by earthing pin 5.
See also vehicle Operators manual.

Fixed engine speed

Fixed engine speed means that the driver cannot
alter engine speed with either the throttle pedal or
the cruise control switches. This can be used when
precision is important.
Engine speed (600-2000 rpm) and maximum
torque (200-2000 Nm) are programmed by the
Scania workshop.
The function is activated by earthing pins 1 and 5.
See also vehicle Operators manual.

Example of setting three fixed engine speeds

Certain types of bodywork equipment require one or

more different engine speed levels.
Examples showing how up to three different fixed
engine speeds can be set are given below.

The cruise control switch must be in the ON position

for these settings to function correctly.

Engine speed 1
Setting engine speed 1, say 750 rpm, using the
Raised idling speed function.
This function can be used between 500 and 800 rpm.

Engine speed 2
Setting engine speed 2, say 1100 rpm, using the
Limited hand throttle function.
This function can be used between 700 and 2000 rpm.

Engine speed 3
Setting engine speed 3, say 1400 rpm, using the
Fixed engine speed function.
This function can be used between 600 and 2000 rpm.

Engine speed settings 1 and 2 can be set/adjusted by

the driver using the cruise control switches. See
vehicle Operators Manual.
Engine speed setting 3 is to be programmed at a
Scania workshop.

Torque limitation

The EDC unit can be programmed for three diffe-

rent levels of torque limitation. These are chosen Nm
by earthing pins 3 and 4 in different combinations.
The function can be combined with engine speed
control.

Torque limitation 1
With Torque limitation 1 engaged the engines
torque curve is peaky. It then feels as though

107 461
pulling power increases when engine speed drops,
r/min
e.g. on uphill gradients.
The function is activated by earthing pin 4.

Torque limitation 2
With Torque limitation 2 engaged the torque is
limited to 700 Nm at engine speeds up to
1000rpm. At higher engine speeds the torque limit Nm
is slightly lower.

The function is used on vehicles with a torque

converter and manual gearbox. Engagement can be
arranged so that the function is active when the
clutch pedal is depressed. That is to protect the
clutch from overheating, such as when pulling

107 387
heavy loads. r/min
The function is activated by earthing pin 3.

Torque limitation 3
With Torque limitation 3 a torque curve with early
breakaway is obtained. Torque limitation starts at
1000 rpm and stops at 1400 rpm. This function can
be used as an alternative to the engine speed Nm
control function Limited hand throttle to protect
a power take-off, for instance.

With this function it is also possible to reprogram

the torque curve to suit your own requirements.
This is done at a Scania workshop.
The function is activated by earthing pins 3 and 4.

Speed limiter

Vehicles having the 6-pin connector C271 also

have an additional function, speed limitation. This
can be used for example on refuse collection trucks
with an external platform and can be engaged when
someone is standing on the platform. The speed
limiting function is independent of the regular
cruise control and can be used as a complementary
system to it.
The default speed is 70km/h but it can be changed
at a Scania workshop. The function is activated by
earthing pin 6.

This function is also included on vehicles with unit

injectors (PDE) and EDCMS6. The function is then
activated by applying current (+24 V) to pin H-6 of
connector C112 at the cab lead-through.
See attachment Manual: Wiring diagram.

Cable terminal for C112.

Part no. 815 844
Use a cable cross-section area of 0.75 mm2.

You can see whether or not the vehicle has a

coordinator by looking at the diagnostics panel. If it
does have a coordinator there will be a switch as
shown in the illustration. In addition, the switch
lamp comes on for a few seconds when power is
turned on with the ignition switch.

Engine stop
With the engine stop function the engine can be
stopped quickly if, for instance, an accident occurs
during crane operation.
When the engine stop button is pressed, pin 2 of
connector C107/271 is earthed and the engine
immediately stops if the vehicle is stationary. If the
stop is activated while the vehicle is in motion,
engine speed drops to idling but the engine is not
shut down. This is in order to retain servo
assistance for power steering.

External control of engine speed

General
The speed of EDC engines can be regulated with the
cruise control. It can be operated from outside the
vehicle with an extra control unit connected to the
vehicle by an extension cable. The connection below
ensures that external control of engine speed is only
possible when the parking brake is applied.
Connection of the extra control unit is shown in
wiring diagram no. 16:04-57, part number 1 712 468,
which can be ordered from your Scania dealer.

Proceed as follows
1. Connection of the extra control unit is via pins 8
and 9 of connector C23 (a 9-pin connector located
on the cable nearest the cruise control switch
assembly).
2. Connect an extra cable to pin 9 which leads to a
new connector for the extra control unit. This
should be located in the front cab wall.
3. Transfer the existing cable connected to pin 8 of
connector C 23 to pin 30 of a new relay (part no.
1 391 322) mounted in the central electric unit.
4. Run a new cable from pin 8 of connector C 23 to
pin 87A of the relay and a cable from pin 87 of the
relay to the new connector for the external control
unit.
5. Power for the new relay is supplied via fuse, as
shown in the wiring diagram, with switch (part no.
1 488 066) and a cable to connector C 56 (under
the central electric unit), terminal block R pin 3
(signal when the parking brake is applied).
6. The external control unit must be arranged
according to the schematic so that only one
function at a time can be activated. The tolerance
of the resistors should be 1%.
7. The external control units connection cable should
be twisted with 30-40 turns per metre to avoid
electrical interference in the system.
8. A motor stop should be mounted adjacent to the
external control unit.
