Introduction and scope
VanWeigh® is an overload monitoring system for use on twin axle vehicles with mechanical or air
suspension systems.
Scope
This document is intended as a guide to the installation and commissioning of VanWeigh®.
It covers two transducer types currently supported in a VanWeigh® system:
•
VanWeigh® axle transducers. These measure suspension deflection on mechanical spring
suspension systems
• Air pressure transducers. These measure changes to air pressure on air suspension systems
Different system configurations can be used to support different chassis types. The system can be
configured to use either type of transducer and any combination of the two.
