INTRODUCTION
The Air-Weigh Steer Axle Deflection Sensor is a major
component of several Air-Weigh Tractor/Truck Scale kits.
Properly installed, it allows the user to determine the weight
on a spring-ride steer axle.
For the most accurate weighing, follow the installation
procedures in this guide exactly.
See the user manual included with your kit for
complete scale installation, calibration and operation.
You must have the ComLink and display installed
and powered to be able to check A/D readings using
the DIAGNOSTICS menu in the display. Alternately,
you can also use the optional Field Deflection
Sensor Tester to get measurements directly at the
sensor.
Do not move the vehicle until after alignment tool
removal, Step #19.
Following sensor installation, do not calibrate
until after the vehicle has been in normal operation
for a week or 800 miles, whichever comes first. This
allows for a break-in period for the sensor. Do not
operate the vehicle with the alignment tool in place.
The heavy calibration must be done using a
maximum vehicle load.
