In this case either 6 or 3 sensors could be installed (1 or 2 per axis) to monitor the axle load. | In this case either '''6 or 3 sensors''' could be installed ('''1''' or '''2''' per axis) to monitor the axle load. | ||
It is still possible that the load distributed between the two out of three axes could be more or less equal and therefore 1 or 2 sensors could be enough. | It is still possible that the load distributed between the two out of three axes could be '''more or less equal''' and therefore '''1 or 2 sensors''' could be enough. | ||

Next, in the Sensor configuration menu, press '''+''' the button and select the '''Add the head axle''' option. | Next, in the Sensor configuration menu, press '''+''' the button and select the '''Add the head axle''' option. | ||

After that a virtual sensor for a steering axle will be created and it will have a MAC FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F1 | |||

In the settings fill the '''Number of rear axle №1''' with a sensor’s number, that is installed on a rear axle. A sensor’s number is determined by its position from 1st to 10th in the list. | |||
Enter the weight of a rear axle without a semi-trailer in '''Load of rear axle №''' | |||
In case there are several rear axles, add another one by pressing the button then enter the number of a sensor installed on it and also its weight without a semi-trailer. To delete an accidentally created rear axle, press the + button. | |||
[[File:Image231d1.png|center|frameless|632x632px]] | |||
Then enter the following aspects: | |||
1) a weight of a truck (calculated by adding up the weight of all its axles without a semi-trailer) or the weight of a dump truck | |||
2) '''a distance between the front axle center and the rear axle center''' | |||
3) '''a distance between the front axle center and a trailing arm (or a gravity center of a dumper). The value should not be more than a distance between the front axle center and the rear axle center or totally equal to it.''' | |||
4) '''a distance between the front steering axles (in case they are two); if there is only one steering axle, enter the minimum value of 51 cm.''' | |||
5) '''select the ''2'' rear axles mode, if there are two steering axles''' | |||
6) '''press the ''Save'' button''' | |||
[[File:Imageв12в121.png|center|frameless]] | |||
'''WARNING!''' The central unit computes a weight of a steering axle and a total weight of a semi-trailer truck, only if the calibration tables are saved in the sensors’ memory!!! | |||
To delete a virtual sensor of a steering axle, hold its button until the '''Disconnect''' option appears. | |||
[[File:Image45м45.png|center|frameless]] | |||
To view the steering axle readings from a peripheral device (e.g a GPS tracker) via the RS-485 interface, go to the '''RS-485 configuration''' section to select a virtual sensor of a steering axle. Enable the '''Weight, RSSI''' parameter and set a certain network address for it. | |||
[[File:Image21312с1.png|center|frameless|615x615px]] | |||
To connect a central unit to an I5 indicator in order to view the sum of all the sensors, including the virtual sensor of a steering axle, configure the i5 so it’s able to read or request the network addresses that are set for the certain sensors in the central unit. In the I5’s '''Display settings''' select the '''TD total level''' option. | |||
