Foreword 02.09.2004

“ACTROS , the new truck experience”

is the motto, under which the new ACTROS BM 930-934 is presented


to the customer.

The foreground of the vehicle development was to bring a reliable


and high-quality product on to the market.

The requirements of a modern truck are constantly increasing.


For this reason, the model refinement of ACTROS reflects the
increased demands of drivers and companies. Proven and tested
technology was the basis for continuous technical development and
implementation of the extensive technical model refinement
measures.

Furthermore, the ACTROS shows the development and


implementation of a completely new, driver-oriented interior
concept, which reflects the increased demand for comfort
and safety. GT00_10_0021_C75

The wide engine range used in the new ACTROS comes in an uprated version - with the same economy.

All this technical progress contribute to a more economy-oriented, ergonomical and comfortable handling of the vehicle and bring one thing in particular to
Europe's roads:
The opportunity of a new long distance experience.

Power Distributor 02.09.2004

The distance from the battery container to the starter is doubled on vehicles with an integral rear end. For this reason, the battery leads on these vehicles are
split in two and the cable cross-section is increased to 95 mm².
There is a disconnection point in the frame to allow easier assembly.
Vehicles with an integral rear end can be jump-started, in case of a breakdown, at the power distributor (arrows) because jump-starting directly to the batteries is
not possible on a coupled vehicle. There are two fuses in the power distributor. They protect the front module with 80 amperes and the rear module with 60
amperes. The base module is not protected.

GGVS Functions - Battery Disconnect Switch (BTS) 02.09.2004

The GGVS vehicle behaves the same as every other vehicle. Remote control as well as the locking system have the same functionality as vehicles without GGVS
equipment. The tachograph is supplied with voltage from the battery disconnect switch (K2). Only when at least one of the two EMERGENCY OFF switches is
pressed, is the on-board electrical system disconnected from the battery. An emergency stop switch is located in the cab, a further one is located on the right
behind the cab. When one of thew switches is operated, the BTS control unit informs the base module (BM) with a PWM signal that T. 15 is switched off for all
consumers, thus also stopping the engine. The battery disconnect switch (K2) is connected with the BM over the frame CAN bus, making it diagnosable.

Today, a control unit captures the sensor data


and transmits this over a data line (CAN bus) to
the other control units.

Advantage:
· less sensors
· cabling expense is decreased.

Task 1 m Note down the advantages of data transmission over a CAN bus.

-
Data transmission with the engine CAN bus as example

The language for the exchange of data is binary code, i.e. only the logical values 1 and 0 occur. The
voltage level for the value 1 is approx. 2/3 of the battery voltage and for the value 0 approx. 1/3 of the
battery voltage. The voltages can have other values on different CAN bus connections.

W07.15-0011-01

So that distorted signals can be recognized, the voltage level of CAN h(igh) and CAN l(ow) are each
inverted. If the signal in one or both cables (CAN H, CAN L) is overlaid by a disturbance signal the faulty
area can be recognized by the control unit.

Central Data Memory (CDM) in the Base Module 02.09.2004

The base module has a central data memory (CDM), where all parameters from the electronic circuits fitted in the vehicle are stored. The
size of the CDM is 2048 kB.

The central data memory continuously keeps data ready for the control units. When needed, e.g. with an exchanged control unit, the
parameters are written to the new control unit from the central data memory.

The following data is stored in the CDM for each control unit:
· MB object number
· Hardware and software versions
· Diagnosis version
· Diagnostic data
· Date of the last diagnostic session
· Parameter data
· History data only for WS

Each time T. 15 is switched on, the date of the last parameter change in the control units is checked and compared with the CDM. When
parameter or control unit versions are changed, the CDM must be updated with the diagnosis device.

The data from the CDM is stored in a mirror memory (128 kB) in the instrument cluster for safety purposes. This makes it possible to also
exchange the base module and restore all data.

Note The data of the EC, FLA, MTCO and ART control units are no longer stored in the CDM.

Central Data Memory (CDM) in the Base Module 37
Trailer Socket 02.09.2004

The trailer socket is supplied by the base module.

Trailer recognition
The trailer recognition is implemented by a quiescent current over the output for the trailer and the output for the right and left trailer indicators. The trailer
recognition is carried out when switching on or switched on T. 15. The trailer is regarded as recognized when a load is recognized on one of these outputs.

Electronic protection of the outputs


The current that flows at the connection pin is measured. If this current exceeds the specified value for approx. 20 ms the connection is switched off (electronic
fuse).
The software recognizes shutdown of the driver and revokes the actuation of this driver. When required again, the driver is switched on again when T. 15 has
been switched off and on. The stop lamp of the trailer is protected by a melting fuse in the base module and has no electronic protection.

Turn signal indicator bulb failure recognition


On the first flash on and off, left and right after trailer recognition "trailer present", one current measurement takes place for each side. It can be detected
whether one or two bulbs is present on the trailer when the current of a bulb is compared with a stored value.

The power consumption of both sides are compared with each other. If the measured values were within a plausible range their values are stored. The measured
current is compared to the stored value on the next indicating process. A difference is evaluated as a bulb failure and is shown as a fault in the display where the
base module no longer actuates the indicator control of the trailer in INS and increases the indicator pulse to the double frequency.

Star Diagnosis (DAS) 02.09.2004

A high-performance diagnostic system has been introduced with STAR DIAGNOSIS, which further optimizes the advantages of DaimlerChrysler AG products in
the service area. For this, STAR DIAGNOSIS uses the latest data processing technologies and orients itself to future developments in this area. Workshop
processes can be accelerated and error rates reduced with STAR DIAGNOSIS, which improves the work quality. The system is designed with orientation to the
future. Nowadays, the STAR DIAGNOSIS is available in three system versions:

STAR DIAGNOSIS Station MT STAR DIAGNOSIS Compact STAR DIAGNOSIS basic

Star Diagnosis (DAS) 56
STAR DIAGNOSIS Station MT is based on the known applications, which have been further developed in many areas. The hardware components consist of a
stationary rollboy, which contains the diagnosis device with standard laptop in a plastic shell and a laser printer. The diagnosis device can easily be removed from
the rollboy unit for mobile use. MT stands for the integrated engine test and measuring equipment - functionality.

STAR DIAGNOSIS Compact differs mainly from the STAR DIAGNOSIS MT station in the hardware. Through this more advanced concept, the mobile handling
could be improved once again and thus extends the STAR DIAGNOSIS product range. This unit is also contains a standard laptop.

STAR DIAGNOSIS Compact can optionally be ordered or retrofitted with the MT engine test functionality, from Hermann Electronic GmbH. This provides a variety
of different measurement and test possibilities on the vehicle and is designated with STAR DIAGNOSIS Compact MT.

HMS 990 (Hermann measuring equipment


system)

P00-.00-2706-01

STAR DIAGNOSIS basic is a small powerful computer, which can be used particularly well everywhere where mobility and dynamics ensure an increase in
customer satisfaction through idle and waiting times, e.g. customer reception and with 24h service. To ensure easy handling in the workshop area, operation of
the Star Diagnosis Basic has been implemented from a touchscreen.

Star Diagnosis (DAS) 57
Software
Since the introduction of STAR DIAGNOSIS, the software has been significant further developed. Windows NT 4.0 now serves as the platform for the various
application programs. The Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) supports fault finding on the vehicle using decision trees and important notes. HHT-WIN covers all
functions of the old HHTs. The interfaces to the Workshop Information System (WIS) are integrated in STAR DIAGNOSIS.The Hermann measuring equipment
system (HMS 990), with its various measuring and test possibilities meaningfully round-off the entire diagnostic system.

Support responsibility
To ensure an optimum follow-up of all service outlets, the introduction of STAR DIAGNOSIS Compact takes place through a main contractor, who operates
worldwide. This function has been taken over by IBM: Hardware, pre-installation, national version certification (DIN, ISO etc.), service, system maintenance,
hotline support. The distribution of data and updates will also take place in future through DaimlerChrysler AG channels, which are already in use today for the
products WIS, EPC, HHT and for the service literature.

Advantages of STAR DIAGNOSIS

STAR DIAGNOSIS

· allows guided tests, shows installation locations in pictures (photos) and, additionally, provides an illustration of circuit diagram excerpts and technical
drawings on one and the same device. This avoids unnecessary search times for information.
· provides the full functionality of today's HHT on a laptop as its own application (HHT-WIN) with "quick test", "fault memory read/delete", "carry out
actuations and parameterization", "display actual values". The user interface corresponds to today's HHT.
· ensures a new diagnosis quality through a higher level of detail, a lower false diagnosis rate and a reduction of removal of non-defective parts.
· provides improved power for the user. The worldwide introduction took place in 1998. The training takes place with a modular concept. Furthermore, there is
the worldwide STAR DIAGNOSIS hotline support in six languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese) for all questions and incidents.
· increases customer satisfaction because idle times are further shortened, unnecessary repairs are avoided, the rate of repeat repairs are significantly
lowered and the maintenance and service costs decreased.
· Through continuous further development of all components, will also meet future requirements of the service outlets.

The simulation provides the user with the possibility of having all control units,
the corresponding fault codes, actual values and diagnosis scope displayed for
the correspondingly selected vehicle.
If the customer also is shown a fault code on the on-board diagnosis the
technician can make a faster assessment of the complaint complexity, even
without being on the spot.
Furthermore, the simulation is used for training purposes.

Signal switches

The signal switches for retrofitting are: Retrofit


· Retrofit 1 function pin and signal switch
· Retrofit 2 function pins

The switches are simply plugged in the modular switch panel and their function is guaranteed. The signals of these
switches are evaluated in the base module (BM) and the function pins actuated. Extensive parameterization possibilities
are specified in the BM.
The accessory manufacturer can place the symbols for the retrofit switches himself.

There are special switches for subsequent fitting of units, which can also be offered from the factory as special equipment.

Necessary work when retrofitting switches in MSF:


1) Push the plug in
2) Signal switches. switch is automatically initialized, the signal is immediately available.
Power switches. Wire switch accordingly.
3) Adjust parameterization: A list of predetermined equipment is stored in the master module. The new switches should be entered here as "fitted". When a
deviation is found to the actually found switch, the control unit stores a fault ("too many/ missing switches"). The monitoring for all retrofit and reserve
switches is currently switched off. This means that the switches can be inserted without generating a fault.

Xenon Headlamps - Design and Function NEW 02.09.2004

A new generation of headlamps is used in the ACTROS model refinement. With these clear-glass headlamps, the distribution of light is no longer controlled by a
diffusing lens but by the shape of the reflector.

1 low beam The lamp unit of the Xenon headlamps consists of:
2 high beam
3 standing lamp 1 Gas discharge headlamp
4 fog lamps 2 Ignition module / control unit
5 turn signal lamp 3 Electrical connection (to front module)

Note
Due to the high light output of the high beam, no additional headlamps may
be installed on the ACTROS!

09/04 Truck•Complete Vehicle <> ACTROS • Models 930-934 • Basic Training


Xenon Headlamps - Design and Function NEW 77
Function
When the low beam is switched on, the control unit activates the ignition
module within a few milliseconds with the control voltage. An electric arc is
formed between the electrodes with a high voltage pulse, approx. 20 kV, and
the Xenon lamp is ignited.

If an electric arc of sufficient stability is recognized the control electronics


switches to limited power operation. The electrical power is stabilized at 35
W. A voltage converter generates the voltage of approx. 85 V required for the
safe function of the Xenon lamp.

Xenon headlamp control unit GT82_10_0013_C80

Headlamp cleaning system


The light beams are refracted by dirt particles on the surface of the headlamp
lens and dazzle the oncoming traffic. With Xenon headlamps, this dazzle effect
is very high due to the high light intensity.
For this reason, headlamp cleaning systems are legally required for headlamp
units with gas discharge headlamps.

The nozzles are installed in a telescoping section above the lamp unit. The
headlamp cleaning system is activated by a separate switch.

Gas Discharge Headlamps - Design and Function 02.09.2004

Function
The burn chamber of the Xenon lamp is filled with Xenon and a mixture of metal-halogen salts. This
mixture is ignited by a high voltage. The color of the light has a daylight-similar character.

The technical features of Xenon lamps gives them a long start-up time. After switching on, 50 % of the
brightness is reached within 1 up to 2 seconds 50 % and full brightness is reached after approx. 30
seconds.

Risk of death

Xenon headlamp operate in a dangerous power range. Due to the high voltage, contact with electrically conducting parts can
be life threatening!
Electric shocks can lead to ventricle fibrillation or cardiac arrest. The consequences of an electric shock may first appear after
a few minutes, so always contact a physician.

Safety instructions/precautions

* Persons who have electronic implants (e.g. pace-makers) are not to carry out work on the Xenon headlamps.
* The lighting must be switched off before working with Xenon headlamp (e.g. exchanging parts, connection of testing devices,
etc.).
* When the Xenon headlamps are on never touch parts that are conducting electricity.
* Wear safety shoes (with rubber soles).

Lubricant circuit

A gear-type oil pump with a 43 mm wheel width


for the V6 engine or 49 mm for the V8 engine
supplies the lubricantion and cooling circuit.
The gear type oil pump is bolted in the area of the
rear crankshaft end on the crankcase and is
driven by the crankshaft gear over the oil pump
drive gear.
An integrated pressure control valve keeps the oil
pressure constant or limits it.
All oil ducts are integrated in the engine housing,
only the turbocharger is supplied with lubricating
oil by external screwed-on cables.

A check valve is fitted close to the oil pump in the


main oil duct from the oil pump to the heat
exchanger. This prevents the of filter and oil ducts
running empty and thus ensures a fast pressure
build-up on the bearing points.

Cyclone separator function principle

The blow-by gases from the crankcase arrive at the cyclone separator insert
as precleaned raw gas.
The cyclone separator insert consists of two cyclones.

The raw gas enters the cyclone from the side (tangentially). In the suction
chamber, the gas stream is forced in a downward flowing spiral movement.
The centrifugal force forces the floating oil particles to the cyclone wall, where
they slide down with gravity, supported by the downward movement of the
gas, to the conical (tapered) surfaces of the swirl chamber. The oil exit takes
place through a bore at the lowest point of the cyclone.

Because the cyclone tapers conically downwards, the circumferential speed


and the centrifugal force become increasingly greater so that even smaller
particles are captured by the separator in the lower area. The revolving,
whirling gas changes direction upwards at the lowest point of the cyclone and
is led away upwards through an outlet pipe (take-off tube) as pure gas.
The diameter and the conical shape of the take-off tube determines the
amount of pressure loss and the filtration efficiency of the cyclone.

The bypass valve opens on high gas flow.

Engine Crankshaft Seal Front and Rear BR 500 02.09.2004

A radial shaft sealing ring with a PTFE sealing lip and a felt dust lip is used to seal both the front and rear crankshaft. The dust lip prevents the ingress of dirt
particles and thus increased wear. Due to the high wear resistance of the PTFE material and the wide contact surface, mating rings on the front as well as the
flywheel side are not needed.
There are two repair solutions for remedying leakages:
1. The fitting of a new radial sealing ring with PTFE lip analogous to the series.
2. With repairs due to run-in crankshaft/flywheel is, a radial sealing ring with an increased inside diameter is to be used. For this, as with the BR 400
engines, a corresponding race must be shrunk on, which is contained in the parts list.

ACTROS Model 930-934 Cooling System 02.09.2004

Efficient cooling system

The cooling system of the ACTROS corresponds basically to that of its predecessor. However, it has been oriented to the increased power of the Euro-3 engines
and given an improved cooling-air flow. The cooling system consists of, among other things:

· The tightly-meshed insect protection grille, which is now only fixed to the radiator.
· The condenser (only with air conditioning) of corrosion-proof aluminium alloy.
· The charger air cooler.
· The coolant air cooler with 2-chamber coolant compensation reservoir. Both of the two chambers are protected by a pressure relief valve. The coolant
temperature is monitored by a one-speed coolant sensor. The transmission oil coolant cooler is integrated in the lower part of this system - as standard or
special equipment (N55).
· Dumpers, flatbed vehicles and semitractor trailers (4x4 and 6x6) with V6 engines and a permissible gross weight between 80 t and 120 t are fitted with the
cooling system from the V8 engines (code MP2, improved cooling system), providing the major assembly dimensioning makes this possible.
The package contains: The transmission oil cooler or the electromagnetic fan clutch.
· The fan shroud (with recirculated air separation on V6, without recirculated air separation on V8) with special inlet nozzle for the specific air ducting to the
jet ring fan fitted on the engine, which has been fundamentally reworked.

Engine: Valve Setting 02.09.2004

Valve Drive

The improved gas exchange, achieved through the 4-valve technology,


mainly contributes to decreased fuel consumption with
correspondingly favorable emissions.

The control of the intake and exhaust valves takes place through roller
tappets guided by a sliding block in a groove in the crankcase, push
rods and intake and exhaust rocker arms, which each operate the
exhaust and intake valves with a valve bridge .

The rocker arm spindle is bolted complete with preassembled rocker


arms and rocker arm bushing on the cylinder head.

To reduce the wear of the entire valve gear to a minimum over the full
life-span, the contact surfaces of the valve, valve bridge, rocker arm
tappets as well as the upset push rod ball socket and height adjusting
screw nail head are inductively hardened to absorb the operating
forces of the high-temperature valve springs and the effective inertia
forces and cylinder pressures.

09/04 Truck•Complete Vehicle <> ACTROS • Models 930-934 • Basic Training


Engine: Engine Brake 111
Operating method

1. The constant throttle is permanently open after switch on.

2. On the compression stroke (2nd stroke), only a little air escapes during the fast piston movement from the bottom to the top reversal point through the
constant throttle in the outlet duct. The desired compression force is thus achieved.

3. During the brief stop of the piston at top dead center the compressed air escapes mainly through the constant throttle into the outlet duct.

4. Without constant throttle the expansion of the compressed air aids the now downward movement of the piston (3rd stroke) and almost completely recycles
the compression work of the 2nd stroke. For this reason, it provides no noticeable contribution the engine braking power on conventional engines.
Conversely, the pressure on the piston is much lower on an engine with constant throttle in the 3rd stroke. The usable difference from compression and
expansion work is thus significantly greater and thus also the contribution to the engine braking power.

5. Through the effect of the constant throttle together with the standard engine braking flap, the undesirable reopening of the exhaust valve is entirely
prevented. This significantly relieves the exhaust valves.

6. No engine ignition takes place when the constant throttle is switched on. To avoid an unintended engine switch off, e.g. through incorrect operation, the
constant throttle and engine braking flap are automatically switched off at an rpm of under 900 1/min.

Pump-Line-Nozzle Injection System 02.09.2004

Arrangement of the unit pump

The injection takes place from the Pump Line


Nozzle (PLN) system, actuated by the Telligentâ
engine management system.
With the PLN system, the fuel is delivered to the
injection nozzle using individual unit pumps through
short, relatively stiff high-pressure injection lines
and the pressure pipe connections bolted in the
cylinder head.
Each cylinder is assigned a unit pump fitted in the
crankcase. This are driven by a further timing cam
on the camshaft. The camshaft thus takes over, in
addition to the classic task of controlling the intake
and exhaust valves, the drive of the unit pumps.
The working principle of the unit pump is also based
on the piston pump principle as the previously used
in-line injection pump, although without control
edges on the pump plunger.
The amount injected is determined cylinder-
selectively with solenoid valves controlling the
injection start and injection end.

PLN Injection Control 02.09.2004

Injection start control function

When installing a new injection pump, the delivery start mark previously had
to be observed. The start of delivery was set by a mechanical setting in the
rpm area. A mechanical injection timing device at high rpm moved the start of
delivery of the injection pump in "advanced" direction.
When fitting a unit pump, no start mark and setting is necessary.

Start of delivery
The EC/PLN control module controls start of delivery by moving the time of
the injection start order in relation to the ignition TDC of the cylinder to be
filled. The start of delivery can be entirely freely controlled by the EC/PLN
electronics within the mechanical limits (limited by the cam shape). The limit
values for this engine (max. start of delivery 25° before to 5° after TDC) are
stored in the control unit.
The control unit recognizes from the rpm sensor (TDC sensor, crank angle
position sensor) the phase in which each individual cylinders is located. The
closed recognition (S) is the second necessary reference mark for control of
the actual injection start. The time delay between electrical and actual
injection start is compensated for by the performance map control in he
control unit.

Delivery volume control function

Previously, the delivery volume was set by a complicated, precise mechanical


specification in the injection pump. With complaints in this area, e.g. lack of
power, costly test procedures and testing devices (injection pump test bench)
were necessary to carry out the complicated adjustment.
With EC/PLN, only the critical limits are set by the mechanical unit pump
where the electronic control can take place. The max. control range is
determined by the stroke of the unit pump cam (approx. 65.5 ° camshaft) and
the max. volume range by the corresponding displacement volume in the high
pressure cylinder.

Delivery angle

The angle through which the crankshaft has rotated on a running engine from
the start (S=close recognition) to the end of a delivery stroke (the valve
opens) is the delivery angle (A). During this time, the camshaft is only turned
by half the crankshaft delivery angle.
The EC/PLN control module determines the injection period and thus also the
amount injected from the delivery angle (pulse width).
In diagram 1, the electrical injection start begins with the close recognition (S)
5 ° before TDC. With a delivery angle of 10° crankshaft the delivery stroke 5°
after TDC (diagram 2). The actual angle change of the crankshaft is acquired
from the rpm sensor on the crankshaft (signal comes every 10°).

Fuel Prefilter with Heated Water Separator, Code K81 02.09.2004

To prevent a premature blockage of the standard


filter, an additional fuel prefilter can be optionally
ordered. This is fitted in the line between the fuel
tank and fuel pump and filters large particles
before the standard filter.
If present, free water in the fuel is held back in
the lower part of the prefilter housing and must
be released from time to time. To prevent the
held-back water from freezing at lower outside
temperatures, is the collection container is
heatable.

Example: BR 500 W47.20-1011-05

Area of operation:
In countries, where with greatly soiled fuel and high water content is expected, an additional fuel filter with integrated heat water separator (incl. manual pump)
is absolutely recommended.
Vehicles, operating in eastern Europe or that are to be filled with fuel from these regions should absolutely be fitted with the prefilter.

Telligent 02.09.2004

The control of the engine, the engine management, is divided into two partial systems each with its own control unit. The control unit of the Drive Control
(DC/VEC) partial system is vehicle-related and that of the Engine Control (EC/PLN) partial systems is motor-related.

All engine-specific data is stored in the EC control unit. The engine-related operating conditions are determined from various sensors. These are evaluated and
the injection is actuated corresponding to the DC requirement (specified engine torque) reflecting the stored performance maps.

The DC control module contains, among other things, vehicle-relevant data, determines the vehicle operating conditions and receives the operation of the driver.
For example, this can be the pressing of the accelerator pedal, operation of the service or engine brake, or clutch.
From this the DC control module determines the required engine torque and passes this on as the specified engine torque to the EC.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, further software modules are integrated in the DC.

The communication exchange between DC and EC takes place over CAN 4, to GS over CAN 5 and to other vehicle-related control units over CAN 1.

You will ask yourself, "Why actually separate systems"?


Let us speak about the reasons and the advantages that result from them.

· Modular design, allowing individual adjustment and development possibilities.


· The drive control also covers "engine-foreign" functions and can be designed version-specifically.
· Vehicle-specific data (e.g. neutral, operating rpm etc.) remain in the vehicle after an engine replacement.
· The engine control module and engine data matching the engine remain on the engine. They are thus engine-bound.
· Reconditioned assemblies always have the latest engine data.
· Fault diagnosis is easier because processes c<an be assessed separately.

Operating Modes on the Engine Control / Permanent Brake Control Operating Lever 02.09.2004

On MB vehicles, the following operating modes can be selected with the "engine control / permanent
brake control" operating lever. The operating modes available on the vehicle are dependent on the vehicle
model and chosen SE option.

§ Cruise control
§ Limiter
§ Permanent brake in stepped mode
§ Permanent brake cruise control
§ Combined drive/brake cruise control
§ Telligent adaptive cruise control
§ Engine idle speed up
§ Working speed control

W54.25-1035-11

Note:
On the ACTROS model 930-934 the operating modes cruise control and permanent brake cruise control are not implemented. The combined drive/ brake cruise
control is offered as standard. In the literature (operating instructions), the combined drive/ brake cruise control is still designated as cruise control. Optionally
this mode can be complemented with the TelligentÒ distance control (ART).

09/04 Truck•Complete Vehicle <> ACTROS • Models 930-934 • Basic Training


Operating Modes on the Engine Control / Permanent Brake Control Operating Lever 129
Effects, that the respective operating modes have on the vehicle behavior

Cruise control: Keeps the commercial vehicle speed constantly "down under", without the driver having to constantly use the foot throttle actuator (a type of
"automatic" accelerator). The cruise control does NOT prevent that the speed in deceleration operation increases above the set value.

Limiter: Adjustable maximum speed. Limits the speed to the set value in fired operation, i.e. the foot throttle actuator is operated no further speed increases
occur from the set speed (except with kickdown). with the ACTROS model 930-934, the limiter is additionally overlaid with the brake cruise control mode in
the non-fired operation.

Permanent brake in stepped mode: Decelerates commercial vehicle. The brake power is produced by speed-dependent engine-brake systems such as the
engine braking flap, constant throttle, Turbobrake (optional) and through a speed-dependent retarder (optional). The effect of the engine brake rises with
the engine rpm.

Permanent brake cruise control: Keeps the speed of the commercial vehicle constant - as far as possible - "upwards" using the permanent brake constant.

Combined drive/brake cruise control: Is the combination of cruise control and permanent brake cruise control. This mode ensures automatic acceleration as
well as for automatic deceleration of the vehicle, as soon as actual speed deviates from the selected speed. The control speed of the permanent brake
cruise control lies slightly (approx. 4 km/h) above the cruise control speed selected by the driver. This ensures that the permanent brake cruise control is
not immediately activated , as soon as the vehicle accelerates slightly above the selected speed. Inversely, the cruise control is not immediately active
when the vehicle speed goes slightly under the control speed.

TelligentÒ distance control (ART): Is an extension of the combined drive/brake cruise control. It not only automatically keeps the selected speed, but also,
additionally, ensures that the selected minimum distance to the vehicle in front is not fallen below. If the distance is too short a deceleration of the
commercial vehicle takes place without the driver having to act. As soon as the distance is sufficient again, the commercial vehicle automatically
accelerates to the selected speed.

Engine idle speed up: Allows the idle speed to be increased on a stationary vehicle, e.g. for the faster filling of the service brake.

Working speed control: Sets a fixed variable engine speed, without the driver having to constantly operate the foot throttle actuator. The working speed control
is used to drive ancillary assemblies on a stationary vehicle.

Individual and Combined Maintenance 02.09.2004

· Using the FSS/WS it is possible to adjust maintenance intervals flexibly · Based on lengthy test stand and vehicle tests, the wear reserve, or to DIN
even with constantly changing vehicle load. 31051 the wear potential (AV), can be determined exactly.

· Fixed kilometer intervals, as with conventional maintenance, that inevitably · The wear reserve can be used to the maximum with the WS/FSS without
take the most unfavorable conditions into account are no longer necessary. exceeding the damage limit (SG) and thus without the danger of damage or
increased wear.
The illustration shows the course of the wear potential (AV) of a major assembly to the driven
distance (s).

100% New oil in major assembly and filter replaced


0% Oil consumption
AV Wear potential in %
F Damage limit greatly exceeded, major assembly endangered
s Driven distance in km
SG Damage limit

W00.20-0004-01

Because carrying out individual maintenance operations with regard to the cost and vehicle availability is unpractical, the WS/FSS has the capability to sensibly
combine various maintenance dates.
The WS/FSS-2 offers two variations for this:
· The individual maintenance
· The combined maintenance

Note: The WS/FASS is always set to the individual maintenance from the plant. Alteration of the setting to combined maintenance can only be carried out by a
Mercedes-Benz service station.

09/04 Truck•Complete Vehicle <> ACTROS • Models 930-934 • Basic Training


Individual and Combined Maintenance 143
Individual Maintenance 1 02.09.2004

The illustration shows the various times for maintenance dates with a new vehicle as an example.
After an inspection, due between 1000 and 5000 km, the existing wear potential (AV) of the assemblies is
determined by the data capture of the WS/FSS dependent vehicle stress. Each of the major assemblies
wear potentials is reached at a different time, in relation to the driven distance (s), the limit "0%".
The WS/FSS shows the wear potential of the individual major assemblies separately.
The customer decide himself according to his service routine on how the due maintenance is carried out.

He can
· have each maintenance operation carried out when it is due,
· have various maintenance operations, whose dates are close to each other, combined,

or W00.20-0005-01

· combine maintenance operations with other workshop events, e.g. with a legally required
inspection.

This procedure is ideal for a vehicle fleet that breaks down maintenance operations into small packages anyway and usually completes these periodically.

Note: Apart from the wear potential, the date of regular and general maintenance operations is also determined by WS/FSS.

09/04 Truck•Complete Vehicle <> ACTROS • Models 930-934 • Basic Training


Individual Maintenance 1 144
Individual Maintenance 2 02.09.2004

Vehicle fleets that place value on longer maintenance intervals can individually combine any maintenance
operations for any time.

Example:
After 100 000 km a vehicle must go to the workshop (W) for a legally required inspection or because it
must be prepared for a particular use

In this case, the maintenance operations that will soon be required can be determined using WS.

If a maintenance-free driving distance of 50 000 km is required after a workshop date then, as the
illustration shows,
· an engine oil change,
· a transmission oil change
and
· the carrying out of general maintenance operations must be specified in the order.

W00.20-0006-01

Attention: A part of the maximum wear potential (AV) is lost by bringing forward the maintenance dates.
(as the illustration shows, e.g. with the engine oil, this is 40%)

09/04 Truck•Complete Vehicle <> ACTROS • Models 930-934 • Basic Training


Individual Maintenance 2 145
Combined Service 02.09.2004

Various maintenance dates are combined to a single date in the combined service, similarly to the conventional maintenance with WS.The shortest maintenance
interval always determines the maintenance date.

Compared to the conventional maintenance system, the combined maintenance still has advantages:
· At least one of the assemblies has reached the wear potential of 0%.
· Only assemblies that have a low rest wear potential are combined.

Example:
For operating reasons, a vehicle is to be serviced at 100 000 km (W). As the illustration shows, because a
maintenance-free driving distance of 50 000 km is desired,
· an engine oil change
· a transmission oil change
· a transfer case oil change
and
· the carrying out of general maintenance operations must be specified in the order.

In this example, a negative effect is that the transfer case oil change is brought forward by 50 000 km.

Chassis: Steering, LS 6 BK, LS 8 BK 02.09.2004

Development goals

The greatly increased requirements for safety, ride comfort, driving characteristics, life-span and maintenance simplification were the initiator for the
development of the Mercedes-Benz power steering LS6, 8 BK.
Since the start of '98, they replace the previous power steering LS 6 and LS 8. The known power steering LS8/2 continues to be manufactured.

From this result the requirement for:

· Optimization of the steering column regarding the location and adjustment range

· Reduction of the track and turning circles

· Decrease of the steering effort while steering when stationary and maneuvering

· Variable gear ratios dependent on the steering angle


-- "directly" when driving straight ahead,
-- "indirectly" with a large steering angle

· Weight and cost optimization of components

· Lower service requirements and thus even higher economy, no exchanges planned in the framework of the maintenance service

· Optimization of the steering kinematics regarding various load cases, such as brakes and jounce with consideration to suspension
and steering versions

· Test connection or pressure fitting for setting the pressure reduction valve and measurement of the system pressure

ACTROS Model 930 - 934 Clutches 157
Changed hub in the clutch plate
On the ACTROS (not on vehicles with strengthened clutch), the hub of the single-plate clutch drive plate is nickel-plated.
In this conjunction, the release bearing on the slide surface is plastic coated and the guide tube precision machined.
Advantages:
· The nickel plating of the hub prevents corrosion on the profile of the transmission input shaft
· Simultaneously, the friction is reduced
· Optimum function of the clutch without the use of grease over the entire life-span
· Due to the discontinued use of grease, the pasting up from clutch abrasion with old grease and the possible malfunctions from that are avoided

· Die altered clutch plates can be recognized by the silvery gloss of the hub
and a different spare part number.
· Due to the nickel-plating of the sliding surface in the clutch drive plate hub
(1), greasing of the hub and the groove profile in the transmission input
shaft (3) is no longer permissible.
· On the double-plate clutch (code G 81 - clutch strengthened) the interior
clutch plate (Attention! Hub not nickel-plated!) may also not be greased.
· Greasing is also discontinued on the guide tube for the thrust bearing (4)
and on the interior slide surface (plastic coating) in the release bearing (2).
· Die above-named facts must be observed even when fitting an altered
clutch plate. The groove profile on the transmission input shaft (3) and the
guide tube (4) must be cleaned beforehand.
· Compare also SI 25.10-W-1000-01A!

Note:
If the "snap effect" occurs on double-plate clutches it is possible for certain
vehicles to be fitted with a single-dry-disk clutch.

Clutch sensor

A clutch sensor is used on all transmission types on the ACTROS. On the


Telligent shift and the Telligent automatic transmission, the clutch sensor is
evaluated by the GS control unit. The FR receives the clutch sensor data
over the CAN bus. On all other transmission types, the FR evaluates the
clutch sensor directly..

N25.19-2001-01

Clutch booster

The clutch booster piston is moved in the direction of the clutch


when the clutch pedal is depressed. The sensor plunger moves
away from the sensor. The sensor value becomes smaller.
Due to the wear of the drive plate, the clutch booster piston
travels away from the clutch, the sensor plunger dips deeper into
the sensor and the sensor value increases.

2-Bellow Air Suspension 02.09.2004

On the ACTROS MP II semitractor trailers 4x2, 6x2/2 and


6x2/4, a 2-bellows air suspension is fitted on the rear
axle instead of the 4-bellows air suspension.

The main changes are:


· Triangular control arm bolted directly to the bracket
fixed to the frame for the stabilizer link
· Shock absorber arranged behind the rear axle
· max. bellows pressure increased from 6.3 to 7.6 bar
· Tapering frame section over rear axle enlarged

The main advantages are:


· The arrangement of the shock absorber behind the
axle results in significant advantages with vehicle
dynamics and roll behavior
· The extremely advantageous arrangement of the air
spring bellows allow significant larger lift height and
prevents a twisting of the rear axle and an
accompanying change in the propeller shaft angle
· Weight reduction by approx. 30 kg

Disc Brake 02.09.2004

Disc brakes have been used for many years also in the commercial vehicle
sector.
Vehicles for local and long-distance traffic have disc brakes on all axles. Dumper
and construction site vehicles, on the other hand, are delivered with drum and
disc brakes or only drum brakes.
The reason is the high danger of soiling.
In the ACTROS disc brakes from the Knorr company of the model SB 7000 are
used.

The advantages of this brake type are as follows:


· A high amount of same parts due to the modular system, thus advantages
with spare part supply
· A higher efficiency due to less moving parts and low-friction bearings
· Good brake power distribution through "two-plunger" brake actuation
· Integrated automatic adjustment, working synchronously on both actuation
plungers
· Directly flange-mounted brake cylinders, disposing of brake shaft, external
levers and adjustment mechanism
· Low air consumption through the use of normal-stroke diaphragm cylinders
· Compact construction
· Continuous wear monitoring through a brake-integrated sensor
· High lining and disc life
· Easy to service

Disc Brake 194
Function of the disc brake

Brake operation:

During braking, the brake cylinder (7) pushes on the eccentrically mounted
lever (6) with the force F1. The force F1 is translated by the lever ratio and the
eccentric bearing of the lever (6). It works with the force F2 on the inside
brake pad (4) via the bridge (5) and integrated threaded tube with thrust
pieces (9). After overcoming the air play, the inside brake pad presses against
the brake disc and the reaction force F3 now working via the disc caliper
pushes the outside brake pad (2) against the brake disc with little force F2.

Release of the brakes:

After release of the brake pressure in the brake cylinder (7), both push springs
(8) with integrated threaded tube, thrust pieces (9) and lever (6) push the
bridge (5) back to the starting position back.

Note:

No work operations are permissible on the tensioners and the automatic


brake wear adjustment. For this reason, in a complaint case, the tensioner
assemblies must be completely exchanged.

Semitrailer Tractor Auxiliary Brake Valve 02.09.2004

General:
The effect of the auxiliary brake is placed on the brake circuits of
the front and rear axles.

On failure of the compressed air in the front axle circuit, the traction
on the rear axle is not enough for a sufficient auxiliary brake effect
in solo operation (without semitrailer the RA is too light), so that
here an aiding measure has been used.
