Step 4
Adjust the offset setting of the output signal at empty vehicle to a value in a range of >0.5 V to <1.3 V by the offset function
(e.g., 1 V). For this, the Kimax-SCU offers a simple way to carry out an automatic adjustment of slope and offset (Fig. 42).
Step 5
In case the analog output voltage has already saturated at 4.5 V, although the maximum total weight of the vehicle has not
yet been reached, the gain must be reduced.
Caution: If the gain is changed in this step, step 4 must be performed again. Therefore, the Kimax-SCU offers a
simple way to carry out an automatic adjustment of slope, offset and gain (Fig. 42), also explained in detail in the
Kimax-SCU manual.
