How does it work

The KIMAX 2 on board scale is an axle pressure meter that measures the pressure on the air suspension system to indicate the load on each axle for the entire vehicle. The KIMAX 2 has a 3-digit display indicating the actual weight of the vehicle or the weight of the individual axles. LEDs warns the driver in case of overload.
KIMAX 2
A mechanical system on the vehicle maintain a fixed level of the chassis height through a level valve which add or subtract compressed air to the bellows according to the actual load on the vehicle. Top of bellows, shock absorber and level valve are fixed on the chassis of the vehicle.

Protecting your setup and calibration

When your setup, configuration and calibration is done, you can protect these settings and values by activating a software lock on Kimax 2 radio, Kimax 2 universal and Kimax 2 sensor. In the locked position you are able to read all measured values from your Kimax instrument. Further more you can read the values in the service menus, - you are not able to change the setup, configuration or calibration by accident. The software lock is not hacker proof protection, you can easily (decide to) unlock your instrument in order to modify the calibration. Locking Kimax 2 radio and universal The factory setting is unlocked when you get a new instrument, you read a - U when you power your instrument up. After the setup, configuration and calibration is done you can lock your Kimax 2 radio and Kimax 2 universal by powering up the instrument once again while you press Enter and Roll button. Unlocking Kimax 2 radio and universal When you decide to recalibrate your system, you need to unlock the Kimax 2 radio or universal. A locked instrument is displayed as a - L when you power it up. Pressing both Enter and Roll button while you are powering the instrument up once again will unlock the menus, and you will have access to all setup, configuration and calibration menus again.

When you setup your Kimax 2 sensor, you have decided is it a Slave 1 or a Slave 2 instrument (described in section 4 of this manual). Locking a Kimax 2 sensor is carried out by setting the rotary switch located on the lower left corner on the PCB inside the sensor box.
Locking Kimax 2 sensor The factory setting is unlocked SL 2 when you get a new Kimax 2, this means it is intended for a trailer or a semitrailer. When your trailer or semitrailer is set up, configurated and calibrated you can lock it by rotating the switch from unlocked position 2 to locked position 4. In order to rotate the switch you need to open the box by means of untighten the 4 screws on the top and remove the cover.
When you are using your Kimax 2 sensor as a Slave 1 instrument, typical application is on your truck in combination with a display in your cabin, the rotary switch has to be in position 1 for unlocked set up configuration and calibration and in position 3 for locked position. All sensor boxes has to be locked individually by rotary switch, you can not lock them through your Kimax 2 radio and Kimax 2 universal.

Electrical connection Always disconnect the battery before you perform any installation work on the system of the vehicle. Do not route the cables next to ignition cables or other cables carrying large current. Make sure that the cables are not exposed to tensile or shearing forces. Protect the cables with rubber grommet if you route the cables through holes. For connecting cables use crimp connectors or another approved method. Avoid shortcircuting the system by faulty connections or Squeezed cables. Fasten the cables at suitable intervals. Basic installation When you use your Kimax 2 radio instrument on a single vehicle, you only need to connect the brown wire from pin 1 in the cable set to chassis (- supply) and the black wire from pin 2 to +24 V through a (ignition) switch and a fuse and you are done. Unused wires in the cable set are kept insulated from chassis and any other conducting circuits.

Unused wires in the cable set are kept insulated from chassis and any other conducting circuits. Getting your system to work: When you have connected your Kimax 2 radio and your Kimax 2 sensor to the electrical system on your vehicle, you need to go to section 4 of this manual for instruction on setting up the communication between Kimax 2 radio and Kimax 2 sensor and learn how to customize the Kimax system to fit exactly to your vehicle. When you have finished the setup of your system, you need to go to section 3 of this manual for instruction on calibrating the Kimax system. When you have finished the calibration of your Kimax system, you can go to section 5 of this manual learning how to protect your setup, configuration and calibration. The Kimax 2 radio is calibrated together with the bellows and the actual weight of the truck. The sensor on the trailer is calibrated together with the bellows and the actual weight of the trailer. In this way you can swap from one trailer to another trailer and you still can read the actual weight of the entire vehicle on the Kimax 2 radio (both trailers have to be equipped with a Kimax sensor). When you have finished your electrical installation, you need to go to section 4 in order to arrange the setup and configuration of the system. Some CAN-bus systems are very sensitive and respond immediately when you load circuits with additional power consumption. In these cases we recommend the standard truck - trailer installation. The power consumption of one Kimax 2 equals the consumption of a 3 W lamp on a 24 Volt system. Advanced trucktrailer installation: On a lot of trucks you are able to use the existing electrical wires routed in-between the truck and on the trailer, which means you do not have to add an extra connector to the truck and trailer.

First of all you have to identify the supply hoses for the bellows. Depending on the layout of your vehicle you can have one or two bellows each side on each axle. Your air suspension system can be deviated in a left-hand side and a right-hand side with individual air circuits and individual level controlling valves due to minimizing rolling. In all cases you will get the best accuracy and the fasted response, when you use Kimax 2 Instruments with double air-inlet for each axle. In cases of steering axles or rear axles with common air circuit you can use a single input Kimax 2 instrument in order to save cost in installation and investment.

Cut the supply hose between the level valve and the bellow, assemble the hose again by using a T-piece. Connect the instrument to the air bellows by means of an approved 6 x 1 mm polyurethane hose. A throttle has to be put in every 6 mm hose at the T-piece end. It is important to mount the throttle in T-piece end of the hose, it will not work i the correct way, when you put it in the sensor end of the connecting hose. The throttles protect the pressure sensors in the Kimax 2 instruments against burstpressure. Further more the throttles protect the air circuit against unexpected leakage when one of the 6 mm hoses has a damage. Unexpected loss of compressed air may affect your breaking and steering capability.

All air-inlets on Kimax instruments and all belonging fittings are quick-release type. You need to make a clean cut in a right angle with a sharp knife before you connect a new tube to a Kimax instrument. You can release the locking mechanism by push-in the releasing ring on the air-inlet. (An 7 mm open-ended spanner is a suitable tool for pushing-in the release ring meanwhile you slightly pull out the tube).

Air-sensor installation on your vehicle When you suspension system is deviated in a left hand side and in a right hand side by use of a level control valve in both left and right side, you can connect a KIMAX instrument by using the standard fitting you get together with your instrument according to the below diagram. Basic layout
When your lift-axle is engaged, the pressure in air 3 left equals air 2 left and the pressure in air 3 right equals air 2 right, axle 2 and 3 share the weight of the rear of your vehicle. When your lift-axle is disengaged (lifted from the road) the pressure in air 3 right and air 3 left is 0 bar and all the weight of the rear-end of your vehicle is carried and weighed by axle 2.

SG-sensor installation
Front axle installation On vehicles with steel spring suspension (parable springs or leave springs) e.g. on front axles, we recommend SG sensors. The SG sensor senses the bending of the front axle caused by load of the vehicle. The SG sensor has to be glued on the front axle in order to read the bending of the front axle (more preciseto read the strain in the front axle). Gluing the SG Sensor to the front axle has to be done with a lot of care, when it is carried out. Both the SG sensor and the front axle needs to be at 20 C at least, not only on the surface of the axle, but the entire axle needs to be at 20 C ! - Typically that means that the vehicle has to stay in the workshop one night over before you start the gluing process. The surface of the front axle, where you are going to fit the SG sensor must be extremely clean and without of any dust, oil and grease. Cleaning: The very best way to clean the axle from dust and spots of oil, is to wash it with warm water and soap, and then you clean the axle surface with a oil removing chemical. The optimal position for fitting the SG sensor is on the top of the centreline in the middle of the axle, as indicated on the drawing below. You have to remove all paint and corrosion protecting materials from the axle in an area at least with the dimension as described in the below drawing. This area has to be even, dry and clean. The easiest way to make the surface even is to use a grinding machine with emery paper first grain 80-120 later grain 180220.

All dust from grinding the front axle, has to be remove by washing the grinded area with cleaning solvent and white cleaning paper. You have to continue the wiping process until you does not pick up any dirt by using white cleaning paper. The SG sensor itself has to be grinded slightly by emery paper grain 220 and wiped off with cleaning solvent and cleaning paper on the 12 x 18 mm pad on the bottom side immediately before gluing the sensor to the axle. Gluing: Apply a tiny drop of Z70 on the 12 x 18 mm pad on the bottom side of the SG sensor and put it immediately in position upon the axle and press it with your thumb for 2 minutes until the glue has cured. The position of the SG sensor has to be like it is in the drawing below. After curing the SG sensor fix the flex tube shielding of the cables to the axle by mean of cable strips. Now you are ready to connect and test the SG sensor.
Scale 1 : 1
Testing: Connect the SG sensor to the KIMAX 2 instrument through the SG extension cable according to the circuit diagram. You will get a waterproof junction when you connect the SG sensor and the SG extension with the adapter. Switch on the KIMAX 2 instrument and go to the OAA reading for the relevant axle (in most cases the front axle) you will typically get a reading in the range 5.00 to 15.0 which is a relative value, ranging up to 99.9 %. Load the axle (when testing a front axle make some people enter the cabin, 4 adults ~ 300 kg) and you read an increasing OAA value100 kg ~ 0,1 % increasing OAA value. Protecting the SG sensor

Alarms
Kimax 2 offers you two different alarm levels. A1 which is an individual alarm level for each axle, when the A1 level is exceeded, the associated axle diode starts flashing. A2 is an external vehicle alarm. When the A2 level is exceeded the output on the yellow wire is switched to ground through a NPN open collector output. The A2 output has a 10 K pull up resistor and is protected by a diode. The load of A2 output is limited to 200 mA DC. Typical external alarms are warning lamps mounted in such a way that they are visible from outside the vehicle. You will need a lamp on the truck and a lamp on the trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: Why is configuration and calibration not done by the manufacture? What is HFA and why is it changeable? (HFA = Trailer/Truck Addressing) Why do I have to configure CF? (CF = Configuration of axles) Why do I have to calibrate both LO and HI? (LO = Low weigh, HI = High weigh) Why do I have to calibrate each axle? What is the OAA values? What is the ADL and the ADH values? It is because the manufacture cannot know which type or brand the system will be installed on, when all types or brands are unique in there suspension and they have different number of axles. HFA id an address, it tells the instrument where it is installed, so it can know which axles there belongs to it. Plus it tells the other instruments which axles it has connected. HFA is changeable, because a box can mount on either a truck or a trailer. The only thing the manufacture have decided is that a master must be mounted on a truck and it has to be set at HFA = 1 or HFA = 0. To adapt the instrument for your special vehicle, with the consideration of axles and there placement. Plus it will give you a visual sight of how your vehicle looks like on the display of the instrument and it tell the instrument which axles it has to measure. It is to adapt the instrument for your special vehicle, so it will measure the right pressure. The reason that there are two menus for this is purely mathematics. The axle load indicator functions by calculating a straight line and to do this it needs to get two set of coordinates existing of (x,y), and that is what you tell the instrument in LO and HI. It is because each vehicle is unique; in both weight and the air bellows in your suspension can vary among the other axles. The OAA values is a value in percent (0,00-100%). This value tells you if the sensor is working properly, when the pressure is increasing the OAA value must also go up. If not, the sensor could be defect. The ADL and the ADH values are bit values (0.00-65.5). These values are the ones that the instrument is using when it calculates the axle pressure. The values emergence when you calibrate LO and HI. Test a Kimax 2 in the workshop How do I refit my Kimax on a new vehicle Why is my measured values very unstable Why is my Kimax 2 not responding when I try to save new values
