To do this, your authorized reseller will be able to adjust your TrackWeight scale according to your needs. If you do the installation yourself, no problem. Consult this installation manual to guide you step by step. Then flip through your user manual as it contains all the information you need to set up, calibrate and use your scale.
12-wheel truck * If it is a lift axle, it is possible to replace the mechanical sensor with an air sensor depending on the type of suspension. Installation Manual | V1.0.0 | 7...
Installation 1. Identify a location with enough space to accommodate the BRT 4/5 monitor. Note: It is possible to install the monitor in the dashboard or on the top of the dashboard with the stand. 2. The communication box is located inside the dashboard. You must select a location to protect it with enough space to allow the installation of sensors and cabling.

4. The communication box operates on a current of 12-24 VDC. Connect the power cable (BRT 5137) to the fuse board. The red wire must be connected to a stable source with a free fuse (minimum 5A). The black wire must be added to the board's common neutral (or other neutral) for the scale monitor only.

Installation 1. Determine the correct location for sensor installation. Note: Make sure that the RT sensor does not interfere with fixed or moving parts of the vehicle. › For the front axle(s): Ideally in the center of the axle. However, be sure to check the clearance of the truck and have a good clearance (with the protective cover) so that the sensor does not catch on the oil pan or any other part of the truck.
