Page 4: How Does It Work
Vehicle air supply Air pressure input for Kimax In order to make the Kimax 2 Radio work properly on your vehicle, you need to teach the instrument how to calculate different loads. So before you can rely on your new on-board scale, each axle has to be calibrated after the installation.
Page 5 11,8 tons (HI value for the rear axle). In the same manner the HI values are now entered in the HI menu of the Kimax 2 Radio. Again it is important to enter the values right away, while the pressure in the air suspension system matches the loaded vehicle.
Page 6: Daily Use
Daily use When you switch on your Kimax 2 Radio, it will show the total weight of the entire vehicle in the 3-digit display measured in tons. The active axle LEDs as well as the load LED are on.

Page 21: Calibration
Calibration Once the installation and setup of your Kimax instrument is done, it is time to calibrate the instrument. This calibration is linking an actual unloaded weight of an axle together with a LO reading of this axle, - and linking a loaded weight of an axle together with a HI reading of this axle.
Page 22 Save LO value Enter the LO menu and save the LO Weight values for each Axle. Press the Enter button for 2 seconds to enter the Kimax 2 menu. (PPP is showed) Press the Scroll button some times until CAL is shown.
Page 23 #1+2+3+4) - (Axle 1 + Axle 2 + Axle 3) Important: The measured values for the axles must be given in right away to the Kimax instrument while the vehicle is carrying the actual measured weight and is parked on an even surface without any brakes active.
Page 24 Save HI value Enter the HI menu and save the HI Weight values for each Axle. Press the Enter button for 2 seconds to enter the Kimax 2 menu. (PPP is showed) Press the Scroll button some times until CAL is shown.

Page 31: Alarms
Alarms Kimax 2 offers you two different kinds of alarm levels. A1 is an individual alarm level for each input channel. When the weight of one or more channels exceeds their stored A1 levels, the associated axle LEDs will start flashing.

Your air suspension system can be deviated in a left-hand side and a right-hand side with individual air circuits and individual level controlling valves due to minimizing rolling. In all cases, you will get the best accuracy and the fasted response, when you use Kimax 2 Instruments with double air-inlet for each axle.
Page 33 T-piece end of the hose, it will not work i the correct way, when you put it in the sensor end of the connecting hose. The throttles protect the pressure sensors in the Kimax 2 instruments against burst-pressure. Furthermore, the throttles protect the air circuit against unexpected leakage if one of the 6 mm hoses suffers damage.
Page 34 When your lift-axle is engaged, the pressure in air 3 left equals air 2 left and the pressure in air 3 right equals air 2 right, axle 2 and 3 share the weight of the rear of your vehicle. When your lift-axle is disengaged (lifted from the road) the pressure in air 3 right and air 3 left is 0 bar and all the weight of the rear-end of your vehicle is carried and weighed by axle 2.
