By using two reference points for each axle (empty weight and weight at maximum load) and the currently measured air pressure. Kimax 2 calculates the current axle load with an accuracy of 2 % of the maximum load for each axle. 3

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 Typically truck layout for P/N could be like the above diagrams SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 13

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 Basic principle for measuring the front axle weight is displayed above. The weight of the vehicle is carried by the parabolic springs between the chassis and the front axle. Adding weight to the vehicle above the frontaxle, causes a tension or “compression” of the top surface of the front axle. This tension is sensed by the SG sensor we glue onto the top surface of the axle. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 14

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 In this images you see a typical front axle from a bus-chassis. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 15

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The bus-chassis is comfortable, because of it is open without any build up body. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 16

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The available space is more narrow on a commercial truck, the clearance between gearbox and front axle is normally high enough for the next page grinding procedure. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 17

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 First tool to use is normally a angle grinding machine equipped with a lamella disk Ø125 mm/Ø5”, grain size is typically 60 – 80 at the beginning and at the end. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 18

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 Finally grinding by hand using first grain 120 at the end you use grain 240, especially the area where to glue the sensing sensor need to be blank and smooth. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 21

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The sensor must be located in the middle of the axle, cable has to come out along the centreline of the axle. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 22

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The sensing area of the sensor must be grinded by hand with emery paper 240 in order of removing fingerprints. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 23

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The axle surface must be cleaned by cleaning solvent, a 1:1 mixture of Acetone and chemical clean 2-Peopanol. You must purchase these indigents local, as we can’t send it as air freight, since the 9. September it is really important to wipe any dust away from gluing area on both axle and SG sensor, in order of getting a reliable attachment. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 24

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 You distribute one drip of Z70 rapid glue on the sensor area of the sensor and put it in position and press it onto the axle for at least 1 min with your fingers without moving the sensor. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 25

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 When the sensor is glued with the rapid glue, you can seal the wires by using a litle of the Black Tunap. When you connect the sensor to the cable harness you can test the function of the sensor by entering the OAA menu. One person about 100 kg increase the OAA value by 0,2 when you enter the cabin from ground. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 26

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 When the sensor is working properly, time is coming for covering the sensor. Put some of the black Tunap onto the stainless steel cover. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 27

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The stainless steel cover is placed on top of the sensor and pressed on to the axle. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 28

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 The cover is tied down to the axle by using some long cable strips. The black glue has to cure overnight. SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 29

CV & Aftermarket Flavio Alessio Oct 2013 When the black glue is cured, the cavity between the cover and the axle must be filled completely by injecting the gray Tunap, until it comes out of the venting holes in the cover. The holes has to be topped one after one. You must continue injecting until the grey stuff come up to the venting hole of the cable. All cables has to be tied down to the axle and routed up to the chassis frame SG sensor front axle – installation Kimax 2 On-Board Scales 30
