3.6 Function Description

Application and point of installation

The Voith Retarder VR 123 is a compact hydrodynam-ic sustained-action brake for mid-sized omnibuses and commercial vehicles up to 18 tonnes. By installing it between the gearbox and rear axle, the braking torque of the retarder also remains in tact while shifting gears.

Non-return valve (1900)

The non-return valve (1900) is located in the outlet duct and prevents the heat exchanger being emptied during idling.

Casing ventilation (2300)

At the beginning of the braking process, the oil expels the air located in the system circuit from the retarder via the casing ventilation (2300). Once the system circuit is free of air, a float will rise and seal the casing ventilation.

Proportional valve (5000)

Depending on the intensity of the electric input signal, the proportional valve (5000) issues a pneumatic con-stant-air pressure which acts on the oil tank of the re-tarder.

Pressure sensor (7000)

The pressure sensor (7000) measures the pneumatic constant-air pressure. A deviation from the allowed pressure tolerance is recognized as a fault and dis-played by the controller.

Temperature sensors for oil (8000) and coolant (20600)

The temperature sensors are screwed into the cooling system of the vehicle (return pipe from retarder to heat exchanger) and in the oil duct of the retarder. The temperature sensors pass on information on the tem-perature of the coolant and oil to the controller.

Maximum values for the temperature of coolant and oil are set in the controller for protection of the cooling system and the retarder. To prevent the values being exceeded, the controller adapts the braking torque of the retarder accordingly via the constant-air pressure py.

The braking torque and the heat produced regulate themselves until an equilibrium has been reached be-tween the braking force and the heat dissipated via the vehicle cooling system.

If the temperature limit is exceeded during braking, the braking torque is adapted to protect the cooling system and retarder.

If the critical temperature threshold has been exceed-ed, the braking torque is no longer active.

The controller also adjusts the braking torque if the temperature of the oil increases rapidly, regardless of the actual temperature of the oil.

During temperature adaptation or failure of the retard-er, you must use the service brake to slow down the vehicle.

Requirements

• Ground (terminal 31) connected to pin 15 (plug X1)

• Battery voltage (terminal 15) connected to pins 13 and 7 (plug X1)

When performing measurements using a commer-cially available multimeter (without real r.m.s. value measurement), exact readout of these measured values is not possible (display jumps).

Commercially available tool

Multimeter (98/8) with real r.m.s. value measure-ment, e.g. Fluke 179

NOTEOnly if no fault is detected during complete check of the periphery:

Replace controller.

X1/10 Ω X1/18 in the "Measurement" column, for example, means the following:

• Pin 10 to plug X1 (retarder controller)

• Multimeter measuring type: ohms

• Pin 18 to plug X1 (retarder controller)

5.5 Troubleshooting (Digiprop) Requirements

• Battery voltage: 18–32 V

• Compressed air: 6–11 bar

• Oil level checked and in order

• Electrical system of vehicle checked and in order (see specifications of vehicle manufacturer)

• Fuses for retarder controller tested and in order

Procedure

1. Read out the fault memory:

- with a service cable (see page 52)

- via the actuating lever for engine control/sustained-action brake (see page 52)

- with Win-Dia (see operating instructions of Win-Dia diagnostic software)

2. Evaluate fault code and remedy fault (see page 53).

3. Clear fault memory:

- with a service cable (see page 52)

- with Win-Dia (see operating instructions of Win-Dia diagnostic software)

Display example of fault code 23

Meanings:

• long signal (2 s): steps of ten

• short signal (0.5 s): steps of one

• Pause (1.0 s) between the signals

Faults are output in the sequence in which they occur. There is a pause of 3 seconds after each fault code. The OFF signal remains if there is only one fault in memory.

The fault memory can be read out in the following ways:

• with a service cable

• via the actuating lever for engine control/sustained-action brake

• with Win-Dia (see operating instructions of Win-Dia diagnostic software)

Faults are saved in the sequence in which they oc-cur.Exception:Fault code 31 "Controller coding fault" is not saved, but it is output.

Troubleshooting with fault code

(type: Daimler Chrysler)

Requirements

• Ground (terminal 31) connected to pin 15 (plug X1)

• Battery voltage (terminal 15) connected to pin 7 (plug X1)

Commercially available tool

Multimeter (98/8) with real r.m.s. value measure-ment, e.g. Fluke 179

When performing measurements using a commer-cially available multimeter (without real r.m.s. value measurement), exact readout of these measured values is not possible (display jumps).

Only if no fault is detected during complete check of the periphery:

Replace controller.

NOTE

NOTE

X1/15 Ω X3/11 in the "Measurement" column, for example, means the following:

• Pin 15 to plug X1

• Multimeter measuring type: ohms

• Pin 11 to plug X3
