Page 3: How Does It Work
How does it work? The Kimax 1 on board scale is an axle pressure gauge that uses pressure gauging on the air suspension to indicate the load, and to always keep you informed about the present load situation.
Page 4 A dual air inlet can be applied on vehicles with one or more individual axles arranged in a combined level control system. Using a Kimax 1 on two or more individual axles offers you a limited accuracy, because the measuring of the load depends on the center of...

In the Adh menu it is possible to read the input value of the sensor input from when the hi calibration was performed (stored sensor value at loaded calibration). When a hi calibration is performed the Kimax unit automatically saves the in value from the sensor input as an Adh value. Calibration Kimax 1 (example) Calibration...
Page 13: Calibration
Two reference values are needed to make a correct calibration, one value for an unloaded vehicle (Lo), and one for a loaded vehicle (hi). By means of these two reference values the Kimax 1 Axle Load Indicator will generate a complete pressure chart and display the current axle load on the display.
