Introduction
This Manual describes the chassis-mounted electrical
system for BlOB and B 12 buses.
The division of the electrical circuits into separate
functional areas follows the same principles as in other
Volvo Bus Electrical System Manuals.

How to read our electrical schematic diagrams

The "+" line on the_schematic diagrams represents a

direct connectlonto;lhecbattery, protected by an 80A
fuse. This line! isusecffortelectrical items which must
be permanentlY';sqpplied,wilhvoltage, such as clocks,
~ 199 hazard wani:ing lights, communications radio etc.
In or
I 150 The "+" line supplies the "+" connection on the
l-CSJ electrical centre printed circuit board.
o
I
I The "+30" line is suppliedwithwoltage whilst the
3026A CURRENT battery master switch is closed,:to connect it to the
PATHS "+" line. This switch maybe ,either mannally or
AND electrically operated, depending on the bus 'Version.
COMPONENTS
The "+30" line suppliesllhe"+30" connection on the
electrical centre printetkcircuit board.

1 I
I The "+ IS" line is relay-controlled and only supplied
with vol~ge when the RUN switch (199) or key
switch (150) are in the RUN position, connecting the
"+ 30" line to the "+ IS" line.

The "+15" line supplies the "+15" connection on the

electrical centre printed circuit board.

*) Note:
Ultrasonic welded connections are indicated by black dots. In
this example "13" indicates that the line is supplied from fuse
"13" and it may be necessary to check other circuits connected
to this fuse during fault diagnosis.
Turn to the fuse diagram and list on pages 16/17 to see which
circuits are energised by the fuses (in this case fuse 13 is
connected to circuits in current paths 8, 14. 139.284 and 292).
