BinMaxx XL Overview
BinMaxx XL allows the user to measure the content weight of each
bin, records the lift number and GPS coordinates of the truck on
eachlift,andcansendallliftinformationwirelesslytoanofce
PC. BinMaxx XL can be installed on multiple trucks, and the user
can access and manage all truck information from a single PC
application.
Truckinformationissavedin.csvleformat,whichiscompatible
with Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs. This
informationcanthenbemodiedasnecessaryandexportedinto
the company’s routing and/or billing systems.
There are two separate components necessary for installing and
using BinMaxx XL. The BinMaxx XL scale kit contains a complete
BinMaxx scale and a GPS receiver and Bluetooth transmitter to be
installed in the truck cab; you will need one of these kits for each
vehicle.TheBinMaxxXLOfcekitcontainsthePCapplication
needed to run BinMaxx XL and a Bluetooth receiver to set up the
connectiontotheofcecomputer.YouwillneedoneBinMaxxXL
Ofcekitforallofyourvehicles.
Throughout this manual, the Bluetooth transmitter in the truck cab
is referred to as the Mobile DataLink, while the Bluetooth receiver
installedontheofcePCisreferredtoastheBase DataLink.For a
full list of parts in your BinMaxx scale kit, see the Parts List included
in your kit.

BinMaxx Overview
The BinMaxx Front-End Loader Scale calculates and displays the
content weight of any bin to within 40 pounds and can display an
accumulated net weight of all bins lifted. Users can also record the
date and time of each lift using the optional Air-Weigh Date/Time
Printer (part # 1250). The weights of individual lifts can be printed
immediately, or all lift measurements can be printed at a later time.
This installation guide provides information for installing BinMaxx
scaleswithpartnumbers1710and1711,whicharespecically
designed for McNeilus front end loaders.
The BinMaxx kit for McNeilus vehicles includes a dash-mounted
display, a BinMaxx ComLink module, two proximity sensors, arm
deectionsensors,armbrackets,andallrequiredcables.

Installing the Cab Electronics
Installing the ComLink in the Cab
Choose one of the three methods described on the following page
to install the ComLink into the truck cab. We recommend that you
install the ComLink in a place where it can be accessed fairly easily
and will be safe from damage. We have found that one of the best
installation locations is under the cab access panel.
.

Installing to an Existing Wiring Harness
Secure the ComLink to any appropriate existing wire harness using
nylon ties secured through the holes on each side of the ComLink.
Installing to a Flat Surface with Adhesive
1. Identifyalocationinthecablargeandatenoughforthe
ComLink to rest on.
2. Clean the surface using one of the alcohol pads supplied in
the installation kit. Remove all dust, grease, and debris from
the surface.
3. Remove the red strips from the back of the ComLink,
exposing the adhesive tape.
4. Press the ComLink against the cleaned area using steady
force. Be careful not to crack the case.
Installing to a Flat Surface with Screws
InstalltheComLinkusingself-tappingscrewstoanyatlocation
available in the cab.
