Alarms
Kimax 2 offers you two different kinds of alarm levels.
A1 is an individual alarm level for each input channel. When the weight of one or more
channels exceeds their stored A1 levels, the associated axle LEDs will start flashing.
A2, A3 and A4

are external vehicle alarms. When the weight of the vehicle exceeds the
stored A2, A3 or A4 level, the output on the respective alarm wire (A2 = yellow wire, A3 =
white wire and A4 = blue wire) is switched to ground through a NPN open collector output.
The A2, A3 and A4 outputs have 10 K pull up resistors and are protected by diodes. The load
of the A2, A3 and A4 outputs are limited to 200 mA DC.
Typical external alarms are warning lamps mounted in such a way that they are visible from
outside the vehicle. You will need a lamp on the truck and a lamp on the trailer.
Connection diagram for external alarms and DTCO:
The A2, A3 and A4 alarm outputs can be connected to a DTCO to log when and for how long
you exceed the A2, A3 and A4 level.

A3 and A4 are only present if it is required by the part number in question.
