weighing system based on the automotive
CANOpen standard. It provides Gross or Net
vehicle weight as well as axle group loading
and overload alarms for the truck and trailers.
Up to 8 trailers can be connected to the
system. Trailers can be swapped and the
system automatically reconfigures and
sets up the new connected trailer.
•The meter’s 4.3” bright graphic color display
with LED backlight allows wide viewing angle
under all lighting conditions. It can be set to
day or night display modes according to user
selection.
•4 arrow keys and 4 soft keys allow easy
operation and navigation among the meter
menus and modes. Password protected setup
wizards makes the system calibration straight
forward and intuitive.
•Weight data is displayed graphically on the
system diagram, making it intuitive and easy to
understand. Alphanumeric tabular display is
available as well.
•The 9150 meter has RS232 interface to a
printer or in-cab PC.The user can setup the
printer formats. USB interface enable backup
and restore of setup parameters and user
data.
•Weight indications are compensated and
corrected for out-of-level conditions of
Trucks and Trailers.

load cells, transmitters and meter. Faults
and alarms are graphically displayed on the
screen showing the operator where the

1. Meter front panel
The front of the 9150 instrument has four
“soft keys” (F1 – F4), four “arrow keys” and
one On/Off key. All keys are tactile and are
backlit for greater visibility. In the center of
each soft key and arrow key there is an
embossment indicating where to press a
key.
The function of the soft keys is shown at
the bottom of the display close to the
respective key. In the example below are
the texts ‘Menu’, ‘Alarm’, ‘Net’ and ‘Print’.

2. 9150 Basics
Alarms
If there are active alarms a red flashing symbol will be
displayed. Depending on the alarm settings an alarm
may also make the built in buzzer sound and/or
activate meter outputs. Outputs are used e.g. for light
and/or audible indications outside the cab.
If there is an alarm press the F2 (Alarm) key to show
the alarm list. To silence the alarm press F4
(Acknowledge). If the cause of the alarm is already
removed the buzzer will become silent, outputs will
deactivate (if used), the alarm icon will disappear and
the alarm list will be cleared.
If the alarm cause is still present the buzzer will
become silent, outputs will deactivate (if used) and the
alarm icon will change to black and white non flashing.
The alarm list will still show the alarm.
If there is an alarm caused by an error and not by a
weight alarm the key F3 (Troubleshoot) is available.
Pressing F3 will open the diagnostics screen showing
the Smart box that the error is related to. The color
picture shows the status (Red – error / Green – OK) of
the
Smart box and its inputs/load cells.
