Axle Load Meter
Cabin version for drivers cab: The Kimax 1 axle load display is supplied with a mount for simple installation on the dashboard
The scale you take with you ...
Kimax 1 axle load indicator for economical and convenient supervision of axle loads on trucks equipped with a spring suspension system for the rear axle(s).
The onboard scale calculates the current axle load from the current strain in the suspension system and displays this figure as a three-digit-value.
SG sensors installed on the rear axle or the springs are connected to the display through a connector.
... and warns when limits are exceeded
Kimax 1 has two separately adjustable alarm levels. Exceeding alarm level 1 is indicated by a flashing display. Exceeding alarm level 2 switches in an internal relay. The relay signal can be used as ON/OFF input for another unit, for example an on-board computer a GPS unit or an external lamp.
Kimax 1 load scale for trucks assist you in achieving economical transportation, avoid fines and simultaneously optimize the cargo weight.
Sensor configuration
2-alxe vehicles with SG sensors can be installed directly on the rear axle, for 3-axle vehicles we recommend SG sensors installed on the parabolic springs.
More options:
In case you need multiple axle spring suspended on-board weighing, the Kimax 2 system might be a good option for you.
Axle load measurement
Kimax 1 uses the linearity between strain in the axles and load of the single axles.
By using two reference points(empty weight and weight at maximum load) and the current measured strain, Kimax 1 calculate the current axle load with an accuracy of 2% of the maximum load.
The strain in the axles will increase linearly with the load above the axle.
The SG sensor is installed on the steering front axle.
For the rear axle the SG sensors are installed either on the axle or on the parabolic springs depending on the mechanical dimension and shape of the differential gear box.

Display of reading
KIMAX has a three-digit 7-segment LED display. The decimal points can be set at the second or third digit or removed completely depending on weighing range.
Two modes of display can be selected for onboard truck scale:
• Automatic switch off of display after approx. 2 minutes reading (recommended in cabins).
• Continuous display readings (factory setting).
Optional:
RS-232 serial Tx and Rx
Kimax 1 has a serial output in RS-232 format, offering you the displayed value in digital format intended for on-board computers or GPS/tracking units.The serial input is for advanced setting of device.
Serial printer output Kimax 1 has serial output for most common printers.
Trailer version - for trailers/semitrailers intended for use on trailers and semitrailers: the display is designed for mounting in a sturdy, waterproof stainless steel housing direct on the chassis.
