The brake diagram manual complements the
compressed air diagrams and contains
information required to read and understand
them.
The booklet comprises a list of components with
information on the components in the
compressed air system. The information covers
the designation, description, function and
symbol of each of the components. An
illustration is also provided showing the actual
appearance of the component.
Finally, the booklet contains the position
configuration. The figure shows an example of
how the components can be located in a vehicle
with 6x4 A/B ABS (6-channel).
The compressed air diagram consists of a
skeleton diagram with symbols for the various
components. It shows only how the various
components are connected to one another, not
where the components are located or how the
compressed air lines are routed in the chassis.
Pipe connections and joints are not displayed in
the diagram either.
Beside each symbol is a designation, which also
can be found in the list of components in this
booklet. If several components have the same
function, they have the same symbol but
different designations.
Example
The task of a safety valve is always to open if
the pressure in a circuit becomes too high. For
this reason, the symbol for safety valve in the
diagram is always the same. However, a valve
that opens at 14.3 bar has number 13, while one
that opens at 19 bar is designated as 35 (see
figure).
by placing a letter after the number, depending
on what they are used for.
Example
7c is the designation for the front circuit air tank
and 7d is the designation for the rear circuit air
tank (see figure).
Next to each line on the diagram is a marking in
the form of two or three letters, as well as
information on the diameter of the line. The line
marking indicates which circuit the line belongs
to, where it originates and where it runs to. The
marking can also be found on the line in the
vehicle.

Example
The designation MADØ16 indicates a line
belonging to the supply circuit running from the
compressor to the cooling coil. This has a
diameter of 16 mm. These markings are
explained in more detail in booklet 10:02-08,
Marking of compressed air lines and
connections.
Optional equipment is drawn in a box with
broken lines on the diagrams.
Components that constitute a single unit are
drawn in a dashed and dotted frame.
The air connections indicated on the symbols
are marked with a number describing what each
connection is intended for. The designation for
Intake is normally 1. If there are two intakes,
they are designated 11 and 12. Outlet is
normally designated 2; if there are several they
receive the numbers 21, 22, 23 etc. Number 3 is
a vent and 4 a connection for control air.
