Hydraulic Suspension Control

A35EFS / A40EFS

100
0 (Normal)
-100

Level control:
The system is monitored by 6 contact free
sensors.
They are ranged from -100 to 100 with 0 as
normal position. The accumulator pressures is
also monitored by 4 sensors .
The level is controlled by 8 solenoids, 4 at the
tractor and 4 at the load unit.

FS ECU (V2ECU)

Solenoids

Hydraulic Suspension Control

A35EFS / A40EFS

The system have two different control modes,

rough and fine. The fine control is active when the
level is within 20% of normal.

Both modes are interrupted by:

FS switch activation
Emergency stop
Calibration
Manual FS control

In the manual FS control mode the solenoids is

controlled by the UP/DOWN buttons. Each
activates the solenoids 5s at the time. The
activation can be aborted with any key in the
keypad. To leave this menu press any key except
the arrows.

Level Calibration
A35EFS / A40EFS
Vcads calibration of
max and min
position.
Calibration values is
sent to central
systems (VDA)
The calibration is
aborted if any of the
level sensors present
a unreasonable value.
