Loading manometer for trailers/semitrailers
Digital loading manometer intended for use on trailers and semitrailers: The display is designed for mounting in a sturdy, waterproof stainless steel housing direct on the chassis.
The scale you take with you ...
Kimax 1, the axle load gauge for economical and convenient supervision of axle loads on vehicles, trailers and semitrailers equipped with a pneumatic suspension system.
Kimax 1 calculates the current axle load from the current air pressure in the suspension system and displays this figure as a three-digit value.
The pressure sensors are located in the display making a compact unit to avoid external influences on the electronic components and sensors.
... 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 or an external lamp.
Kimax 1 helps to achieve economical transportation, avoid fines and simultaneously optimizes the cargo weight.
Air circuits
On vehicles with two independent pneumatic suspension circuits per axle or axle group, the air pressure is measured for each pneumatic circuit with the 2-sensor version and Kimax 1 calculates the current load from these two values.
On vehicles with one common pneumatic suspension circuit, the axle load meter measure this air pressure and calculate the actual load from this pressure.
The 2 air input meter displays the accurate change in load more rapidly compared to a display with only one air input.
Legal requirements
Kimax 1 is a non verified device for indication of actual axle load. Local regulations like the German StVZO §70 talk about systems for axle load monitoring.
More options:
In case you need multiple axle air suspended on-board weighing, the Kimax 2 system might be a good option for you.
Axle load measurement
Kimax 1 uses the linear interrelationship of the air pressure in the suspension system and the axle load: By using two reference points(empty weight and weight at maximum load) and the current measured air pressure, Kimax 1 calculate the current axle load with an accuracy of 2% of the maximum load.
Depending on load of the vehicle, the level valve(s) maintain a constant height of the chassis above the ground surface by regulating the pressure in the air bellows. Trailers are manufactured with one or two level valve(s) pro axle or axle group. In case of one level valve you get good results by using a Kimax with single air inlet, in case of two level valves, you get most accurate weighing by using a Kimax with a double air inlet.

Display of reading
The Kimax 1 reads total weight of the axle/axle group when it is powered up.
By activating 
button you can toggle display reading between tot, pay or “Blank”
tot = total weight of axle/axle group
Pay = payload upon axle/axle group
Blank = no display reading
