Each axle is monitored with an environmentally-sealed electronic sensor which monitors the load applied to each axle. The information is then displayed to the driver on the twin channel digital indicator and an audible alarm sounds if the total vehicle or axle weight maximum is infringed.
The driver is alerted to three conditions:
SAFE -indicates loads up to 90% either front or rear axle and total load
WARNING -indicates loads between 90% and 100%
OVERLOAD -alerts the driver to an axle load infringement up to 110% of Full Scale Deflection
