3.4.2 Axle-Weighing System
An axle-weighing system consists of only two platforms. With this method, each axle of the vehicle is weighed separately and
then added together. The Ai-1 indicator displays the weight of the current axle and the corresponding individual wheels, while
also listing the previous axle weights and the total gross or net weight.

NOTE: To achieve the best weighing accuracy, release the parking brake and turn off the engine.
If the vehicle has self-leveling suspensions, disable them.
Axle-Weighing Procedure
1. Assign ID numbers to the wheel weigh pads (
Section 3.1.3 on page 13
) and pair Ai-1 indicator with the wheel weigh
pads (
Section 3.2.1 on page 16
).
2. Position the wheel weigh pads (
Section 2.2 on page 5
).
3. Select the vehicle to be linked to the weight if necessary (
Section 3.7.4 on page 24
).
4. Perform a full scale zero (
Section 3.3.1 on page 19
).
5. Position the first part of the vehicle onto the platforms.
6. Once weight is stable, press
.
• If weight is captured correctly the indicator executes the printout of the weight of each wheel and axle, if configured.
• If the scale is unable to capture the weight (
example:
due to instability) a prompt displays.
Press
to attempt weighing again or press
to cancel the weigh.
7. Remove the current vehicle axle from the platforms.
8. Repeat previous steps until remaining axles have been weighed.
9. Press
to execute the printout of the total weight, minus the tare value if needed.
NOTE: The next press of
resets the previous weight total and is considered the first axle of the next weight.
