Configuration
The configuration is a onetime customization of your Kimax 2 instrument, which adapts it to fit
your vehicle. When a Kimax 2 instrument leaves Sense-Tech Weighing Systems ApS, it is pre-
configured to fit your vehicle, based upon the information given to Sense-Tech Weighing
Systems ApS, when the order was placed. However if the Kimax 2 instrument unexpectedly
needs additional configuration, the following pages describes how to calibrate a Kimax 2
instrument. Visit www.kimax.com and navigate to the Support section and choose Training
Center. Here it is possible to see some animations showing how to configure a Kimax 2 Radio.
Communication
A Kimax 2 instrument needs to be taught where it is placed in order to make the
communication between more instrument function properly.
Through the HFA menu the Kimax 2 instrument can be set up to be either a Master or a Slave
instrument. Since the Kimax 2 Radio is intended for use inside the cabin of the truck it needs
to be a Master instrument. You can set up your Kimax 2 Radio to be either a Master instrument
with or without sensors. If it is chosen to use a Kimax 2 Radio as a MUS
14
, it needs to be
connected to a Kimax 2 Sensor (like in scenario 2 below) in order to measure the axle load of
a truck.
Instrument type Master/Slave HFA setting
Kimax 2 Radio MUS (Master without sensors) HFA = 0
Kimax 2 Radio MMS (Master with sensors) HFA = 1
Kimax 2 Sensor SL1 (Slave placed on truck) HFA = 2
Kimax 2 Sensor SL2 (Slave placed on trailer) HFA = 3
Once you have made the communication setup you are ready to customize the
instrument(s) to your vehicle. This has to be done in order to make the system work
properly.
