General function
• Activation can only be carried out when the 15 voltage
1
is active. The power take-
off can be activated if the 15 voltage is switched off.
• Activation can only be carried out once every 30 seconds
• The power take-off can be used when the propulsion batteries are being charged
• If the power take-off is used when the propulsion batteries are being charged and
charging is interrupted, the power take-off may still be active. It is possible for the
bodybuilder to build in logic that allows the power take-off to remain active after
charging has been interrupted.
• The power take-off is not deactivated due to low battery level. It is possible to set
the power take-off activation and deactivation conditions via a logic that uses the
SOC (State Of Charge) of the propulsion batteries.
• If the bodywork is connected to the grid, the power take-off must be deactivated
automatically.
• Charging the propulsion batteries via the bodywork is prohibited if the electric
power take-off is activated.
• If the bodywork's VCB components are water-cooled, they can be connected to
the vehicle's cooling circuit. The connection requires approval from Scania.
• The power take-off is controlled via the BCI control unit. More information can
be found under the heading
