Protection against batteries discharge

In order to prevent battery discharge while the
bus is standing, the Volvo 9700 US/CAN bus
is equipped with an Automatic Reset Main
Switch (ARMS; see the following section in
this manual: "ARMS (Automatic Reset Main
Switch)", page 135) function that disconnects
the supply to major electrical consumers such
as: electric heaters, some external lighting,
etc.
If the ignition switch is in position I + a click,
power to these consumers is switched off
around 120 seconds (for Starter batteries it
T0014333
is 120 seconds after voltage is below 23.5 V
and for Consumer batteries it is 130 seconds
after voltage is below 23 V).
Note: Turn OFF the ignition switch to
position 0, each time the bus is out of service.
For more information about ARMS function

system", page 131 and "ARMS (Automatic
Reset Main Switch)", page 135.
