Frame Torque Data
Payload meter records the top five peak positive and
negative frame torque values and the time they
occurred. The frame torque is a measure of the
twisting action along the centerline of the truck.
Positive frame torque is measured when the
suspension forces on the front of the truck act to twist
the frame in the clockwise direction as viewed from
the operator's seat. Negative frame torque is
measured when the forces from the suspensions act
in the opposite direction.
For example, if the left front and right rear pressure
rises as the right front and left rear pressure drops,
the truck frame experiences a twisting motion along
the longitudinal centerline. In this case, the payload
meter will record a positive frame torque.
The five highest values in the positive and negative
direction are stored in permanent memory within the
payload meter.
Sprung Weight Data
The payload meter is constantly monitoring the live
payload calculation. This value naturally rises and
falls for a loaded truck depending on road and driving
conditions. The payload meter records the top five
highest payload calculations and the time they
occurred. This information is stored in permanent
memory inside the meter.
Maximum Speed Data
The payload meter records the top five highest
speeds and the time they occurred. This information
is stored in permanent memory inside the meter.
