Mounting Locations

Choose the optimal mounting position for the AXS on each axle group, ensuring a clear line of sight between scales.

Note: If drilling the chassis is necessary to mount the scales, confirm that this is permissible with the manufacturer.

Mount the scales facing outward. A mounting bracket may be needed for installation on the dolly or prime mover. Avoid mounting the scales inside enclosures or near heat sources/exhaust systems.

TCA Compliance

It is a requirement by the TCA that installation must be completed by an authorised Airtec Technician and an Installation Log must be completed and emailed to: [email protected]

Mounting

Mount the unit in a suitable position on the outside of the truck or trailer. The unit must be mounted so that it is level and out of direct sunlight.

Airtec has a range of mounting brackets available to suit your vehicle type.

Air Supply

Connect the air system to the airbag side of the ride height control valve. Attach the fitting and reduce the size to ¼”. Run a ¼” airline from the fitting to the scales, and insert it securely into the fitting.

Tips

For faster pressure stabilisation, run a larger air line closer to scales and reduce to ¼“ airline at the scales. Dual Sensor scales can be plumbed to single height control airbag systems - either side for quicker response time - but you can't use a single sensor on dual height control airbag systems.

AXS Power Connection

AXC-1001 Wires

Important Installation Note

All scales must be powered by a fused 7-32 VDC, activated by ignition status 'on'. Airtec does not recommend powering AXS Scales from the vehicle's EBS (Electronic Braking System). If you must power the AXS Scales through the EBS system, please consult the EBS manufacturer to ensure proper installation and compatibility.
