Once the scale has been calibrated correctly, the scale will display accurate net weights for any load or bin size. Use of the Air-Weigh BinMaxx Calibration Tank (Part Number 1280) is highly recommended for the most accurate calibration of the scale system.
NOTE It is important that the calibration be completed as quickly as possible so that the arm temperature does not vary much during the calibration process. Figure 1: BinMaxx Calibration Tank...
Preliminary Considerations The accuracy of the BinMaxx Scale depends on the accuracy of the calibration weight used. Air-Weigh’s Calibration tank (Part Number 1280) has been previously weighed and the empty and heavy weights are located on a sticker attached to the outside of the calibration weight.

OK. Push ESC until the main menu is reached. Heavy Calibration If using the BinMaxx Calibration tank, remove the lid and fill the tank with water until it is overflowing. Securely replace the lid. Turn the vehicle on and wait for the scale to power-up.

The new empty calibration weight value entered will automatically recalculate the Empty Ratio and Offset. Once calibrated, your Air-Weigh BinMaxx Scale will display weight in 20lb (10kg) increments, and is ready for use.
Do not exceed 60 seconds above the high proximity switch when emptying a bin, before returning to the measurement zone. BinMaxx will update the Lift # and Net weight soon after the bin has dropped below the Low proximity switch measurement area.

Once the scale has been fully calibrated it will display RESET LIFT # or LIFT # / NET, depending on user settings. RESET LIFT # At this screen, the driver has the ability to reset both the Lift # and the Total (accumulated net bin weight) value.
If Screen 1A or B appears, this signifies that the Printer is not connected and/or powered on. All data will be recorded in the BinMaxx ComLink, to be printed or transferred at a later time based upon user command input.
NOTE Screen 2 will only be displayed if a printer is connected to the BinMaxx scale and it is operational. Use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons on the display to migrate to the desired action and it will begin to flash. Press the OK button to select the desired action.
If ERASE ALL is desired, Press OK. This process will delete all Lift and Weight information stored in the BinMaxx Comlink. A caution will be displayed. “USE CAUTION! PUSH “OK” TO ERASE ALL”. Pressing OK will delete all Lift and Weight data stored in the BinMaxx Comlink.
ALL command. Select ERASE ALL by pressing OK. This process will permanently delete all Lift and Weight information from the BinMaxx Comlink. When selecting ERASE ALL a caution will be displayed. “USE CAUTION! PUSH “OK” TO ERASE ALL”. Pressing OK will permanently delete all Lift and Weight data stored in the BinMaxx ComLink.
Display Setup Select DISPLY SETUP, Press OK. CALIBRATION DISPLY SETUP PWR UP MODE The display will show: LBS / KGS – Sets display as pounds or kilograms BRIGHTNESS – will change the display brightness LITE TIMEOUT – sets the display timeout time Select LBS / KGS, Press OK.
When (Now Prompt) is displayed, any time the truck is powered up, it will prompt the driver to Reset the Lift # and/or the Weight to zero. If the driver does not want to reset the Lift # or Weight at power up, select DON’T PROMPT, Press OK.
In this mode the BinMaxx system is looking for the Empty and Heavy Calibration weights to be input into the system. If the Air-Weigh calibration weight is used, the Heavy weight is 2580 lbs and the Empty weight is 480 lbs. If another weight is being used to calibrate (Empty / Heavy bin as an example), enter the Empty / Heavy bin weights as measured on a scale.
Select CALIB DATA, Press OK. The screens will display Lift and Drop calibration data. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to page between screens. Select ECU ID, Press OK. The screen will display the BinMaxx Version number, Model number and unit Serial number.
IV. ERROR MESSAGES The following error messages may be displayed during BinMaxx operation. ERROR DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSE MESSAGE SCALE The scale did not deduce a Net Bad or damaged SYSTEM weight change after the lift; deflection sensor; ERROR deflection sensor value at 0...
RECOMMENDED AIR-WEIGH CALIBRATION TANK A refuse front-end-loader vehicle with a BinMaxx scale installed must be calibrated before it can be placed in service. In order to calibrate a BinMaxx scale, Air-Weigh recommends that our calibration tank (P/N 1280) be used to perform the calibration.
