Note
♦
The Fig. shows a signal with a duty cycle of approximately
80%.
♦
Impulse width -A- depends on the cooling performance de‐
sired, the electrical system voltage, etc. (over the width of
region -A-; voltage is regulated via the A/C Compressor Reg‐
ulator Valve by Climatronic control module).
♦
The signal distance -B- is always 2 milliseconds (corresponds
to frequency of 500 Hertz).
♦
The duty cycle is determined by the ratio of impulse width
-A- and signal distance -B-.
– The impulse width of the square wave signal changes (duty
cycle between 100% and greater than 30%, regulator valve is
activated so that required compressor output is obtained to
reach the specified temperatures) depending on setting at Cli‐
matronic control module and measured surrounding condi‐
tions.
Note
♦
Whenever the mode is adjusted to “Auto“, and “AC On“ (the
indicator lamps on the buttons light up), and the temperature
preset is set to stop “Cold“, then the A/C compressor regulator
valve is activated so that the maximum permissible current of
approximately 0.65 A flows through the A/C compressor reg‐
ulator valve (maximum A/C compressor output).
♦
In control mode, actuation time is governed by required cool‐
ing output and vehicle electrical system voltage, for example.
It is however always of sufficient duration to achieve a mean
current of 0.3 A.

ments
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -
VAS5051B- (or Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System -VAS
