Scale Overview The Air-Weigh QuickLoad Scale for vocational vehicles with the Mack Camelback suspension includes a dashboard-mounted QuickLoad display, power harness, a delection sensor with mounting hardware for the Camelback suspension, and sensor cables. This Installation Guide provides all the instructions needed to install the delection sensor on the Camelback suspension.
5/16 socket or lathead screwdriver • Note: Heavy calibration must be done using maximum vehicle loads. See QuickLoad Calibrations and Operations manual, for additional information on calibration. Cables to the sensor, and any other Air-Weigh wiring, must be separated by a minimum of 12 inches, or properly shielded, from exhaust piping.
Installing the Sensor Bracket on the Camelback Suspension Preparing the Camelback Suspension Marking Center of Trunnion Tube 2. Using chalk or permanent marker, mark the top of the trunnion tube 3-3/8 in. (85.725mm) on both sides of the center mark. The overall measurement is 6-3/4 in. (171.45 mm).
Welding the Bracket 1. Place the mounting bracket assembly on the top center of the trunnion tube. Mark the center on the alignment tool and ensure it lines up with the center mark on the trunnion tube. 2. Use C clamps to hold the bracket in place. Make sure you leave the alignment tool in the bracket assembly while welding.
Adding a Protective Spray Paint Coating 1. To prevent the drive axle bracket from delaminating due to corrosion, we recommend you spray paint around the base of the brackets. 2. Using any enamel-based spray paint, paint around the base of the bracket. Paint all bare metal around the bracket completely.
2. The drive axle sensor extension cable will be connected to Sensor Port A on the back of the QuickLoad display once the display is installed. 3. Coil and secure the drive axle extension cable approximately every foot along the frame of the truck using zip ties.
Preparing the Cab Display for Installation The Optional Universal Mounting Pod can be used for installations where there is no space in the dash to mount the scale display. 1. Select a location for the display (1) on the dash panel (5) with at least 3”...
Delection Sensor Installation 1. Insert the delection sensor into the brackets with its cable extending toward the side of the vehicle where you routed the sensor extension cable to the irewall. The engraved lettering on the sensor should face up. 2.
Securing Cables and Reassembling the Dash 1. Coil and secure any excess wire using zip ties. 2. Tighten all zip ties and trim. 3. Reassemble the dash assembly after the sensor has been installed and sensor cables are connected. Ensure all connections are tight.
A/D values. A/D refers to the analog- to-digital conversion of the sensor reading. This step will require the use of either the QuickLoad Scale or the Delection Sensor Test box (P/N 1001). If using the QuickLoad Scale, the scale must be installed and powered, and the Delection Sensor Extension Cable must be installed.
2. Tighten both nuts and use a torque wrench to torque to 60 ft-lbs. 3. Verify the A/D reading using the display in the cab (start the ignition to power on the display), or the delection sensor test box. If the reading is within range (750-1250), continue to instructions for the Final Sensor Torque.
1. Torque both nuts to ft/lbs. 2. Perform a inal check to A/D values using the readings from the in-cab QuickLoad display, not from the A/D Box. If A/D readings are not within range, repeat the Adjusting the A/D reading steps.
Cover Installation 1. Locate the opening in the end of the cover. The opening is used for the sensor cable to go through. Cable Opening in Cover 2. Cut a notch in the supplied grommet and place it on the sensor cable.

3. Slide the sensor cable/grommet combination into the cover hole with the Molex connector of the sensor cable on the outside of the cover and set the Delection Sensor Cover over the sensor on the trunnion tube. Placing the Cable and Grommet into Cover 4.
