Axle transducer on a leaf spring

Select a position to install the transducer on a single axle leaf spring where:

• The transducer is mounted to the top side of

the spring

• The transducer is parallel to the orientation of

the chassis

• The transducer is as far as possible from the

axle. It can be mounted to the front or rear of

the spring with the cable running away from

the axle

• The transducer is not at risk of damage from

any part on the vehicle throughout the full

range of movement of the spring

• The cable can be routed to the junction box without risk of damage from any moving parts and

allowing for the full range of movement of the transducer on the spring

When mounting the sensor, ensure it is in the correct orientation, with the groove at the top.
