Engine speed control

Description

With this function, the engine speed can be controlled from outside the cab by using a connection via the BCI control unit.

Suitable for applications such as:

  • Fire engines
  • Concrete mixer trucks
  • Concrete pump trucks

Function

Connection via harness-to-harness connector C259

  • The engine speed will increase if a low or high signal1 is activated via pin 1 (optional) in harness-to-harness connector C259.
  • The engine speed will increase if a low or high signal1 is activated via pin 2 (optional) in harness-to-harness connector C259.

To be able to receive the signals outside the cab, it is suitable to connect a cable harness for bodywork functions to harness-to-harness connector C494. The cable harness is distributed to the 3 DIN harness-to-harness connectors C486, C487 and C488.

Connection via EXT switch

Connect via the EXT switch to be able to control the engine speed from outside the cab.

When the EXT switch is activated and the power take-off is engaged, engine speed 1 will be activated.

Note: The EK power take-off shown in this logic diagram is only an example. All types of power take-offs can be connected.

The Engine speed 1 parameter must be adjusted in Scania’s programming tool for bodybuilders (SDP3), as shown in the illustration below.

  • Type of Control: Switch module for cruise control.
  • Other setting values depend on the needs of the bodywork.


1. Must be preset in BICT
