Installing the Load Weigher
Install and adjust the provided load weigher as directed in the instructions accompanying the
load weigher. Information regarding load weigher selection and threshold settings is provided
in Section 4. Please refer to “Load Weigher Adjustment for Dispatching” on page 4-30.
Installing Brake Monitoring
A spare iBox input (SP2D), or a programmable input (Brake Switch) on an ICE-MIAC board,
may be used for the brake contact. The brake monitoring contact may be provided as part of the
brake assembly. If not, a micro-switch (rated for at least 1/4 Amp, 125VDC) must be provided
by the installer and mounted such that when the brake picks, the switch activates (see note
below). Refer to job prints for electrical connection information.
The brake monitoring contact provides a path between the iBox 110VDC (#3) bus and the SP2D
or Brake Switch input. If the brake fails to pick (or drop) at the proper time, this signal will
cause the controller to generate a Brake Pick Fault (see “Brake Pick Fault, BRAKE PICK
FAULT” on page 6-17) or Brake Drop Fault (see “Brake Drop Fault, BRAKE DROP FAULT” on
page 6-16). The fault message is shown on the iBox LCD display, on the iView Operational Sta-
tus tab and in the iView Event Log.
On the iView > Controller > Configuration >
Brake > Control tab, switch parameters are pro-
vided to specify the polarity of the SP2D/Brake
Switch input (active high or low). In addition,
parameters direct the system to monitor for a
brake pick and/or brake drop fault. If neither
pick or drop monitoring are checked, the con-
troller will ignore the SP2D/Brake Switch
input.
When installing the switch, take all necessary precautions not to interfere with normal brake design
or operation.
