Software Load Indicator FH/FM Version 2

• • • • • •

Indicates axle weight, load weight, and overall weight for the truck and trailers Measuring accuracy +/– 150 kg per axle The calculated weights are displayed in the instrument panel Clear symbols indicate which weight is being displayed Suits vehicles with air suspension Adapted for Dynafleet

The Volvo load indicator system is an electronic/pneumatic system for measuring axle load and carried load. It is designed for trucks and trailers with air and leaf spring suspensions. It measures axle weight, load weight, and gross vehicle weight for the vehicle and trailers. This is achieved by a pressure sensor connected to the air bellows on the truck/trailer. Results are clearly shown digitally on a display. The figures presented in the display are very reliable and provide a good indication of any possible overloads. Reliability is important considering the fact that an overload could be hazardous in traffic, and could also result in fines. The measurements have shown an accuracy of +/– 150 kg per axle when calibration has been performed correctly. Calibration In order to maintain reliability in the system, the readings displayed should be checked on a regular basis. A new calibration should be performed when necessary. Reference values both with and without loads for vehicle combinations are measured on a scale and recorded, and are transmitted to the control module using Volvo’s aftermarket tool. Number of sensors Varying numbers of sensors are necessary, depending on the type of trailer to be connected to the vehicle. The following can be taken as a general rule: Normally it is sufficient with one sensor per axle combination, front and rear. If the compressed-air system for a single axle combination is divided left and right, two sensors will be required, one for each side. If the axle combination consists of a bogie or several axles but with interconnected compressed-air system, one sensor will be enough. If the system is divided right and left, each side will need one sensor apiece.

A maximum of 4 pressure sensors can be connected to the control module. To sum. up: For maximum accuracy one sensor per air spring circuit. Note that these four vehicle combinations show only in principle what the system can measure. Quite often there is no problem if the vehicle has a double or triple axle. In most cases the air system is connected up. when several axles are installed, that is, the air bellows on the various axles and inter-linked and have the same pressure. It is enough, therefore, to connect a pressure sensor to ny of the bellows in order to measure the axle load for the vehicle combination in question. Functions The control unit for the system has the same housing dimensions as a Volvo radio and can be installed in the same way inside the cab. Simply pressing the appropriate button digitally registers the load on a display. Data Communications Load indicator communicates with other electronic systems as per SAE J1708 and SAE J1587.
