Introduction
Compatible with AXM and AXS Series
The AXC-2001 is a compact, plug-and-play adapter that wirelessly links Airtecs AXS and AXM Series Smart OBM systems to approved third-party telematics devices. Using Bluetooth 5.3, it automatically pairs with truck gauges and forwards real-time axle weights and Gross Combination Mass (GCM) data via the M8 RS-232 connector to telematics devices such as Teletrac Navman, MT Data, BlackBox, and Netstar.
Designed for seamless integration, the adapter enables fleet operators, logistics teams, and compliance managers to access live and historical weight data remotely—boosting visibility, efficiency, and compliance with mass management regulations.
Built for reliability, the AXC-2001 features secure wireless connectivity, broad telematics compatibility, and fast, straightforward installation. Proudly Australian-designed and manufactured, it saves time and cost by simplifying the connection between Airtec SmartOBM systems and your telematics service provider.

Wiring
The AXC-2001 has a 40 centimetre power and RS-232 communications cable. See Integration Section for telematics specific wiring.
Installation
- Access the telematics device. This may require removal of the dashboard trim or overhead compartment panel.
- Connect the AXC-2001 to the telematics box with the required cable connection (See Integration Section)
- Secure the AXC-2001 close to the telematics box but away from antennas using screws or cable ties on the mounting tabs or double sided tape.
- Check the LED status indicator is flashing green to show it is connected the the truck scale and transmitting data to the telematics unit (See Operation Section)
- Reattach dashboard trim or overhead compartment panel if required.
