The Balancer™ B150
The Balancer™ B150 is an electronic lift axle control system, designed to automatically lift and lower the axle based on trailer weight. The B150 senses the weight of the trailer by measuring the fixed axle suspension pressure. The B150 uses customizable control pressures to determine when to lift and lower the axle.
The B150 also provides controls for external valve heater and a max load indicator.
Features
- Automatically lifts and lowers based on weight
- Max load indicator
- Approved for use in the Western Provinces
How it works
Load Control
The load control feature uses pressure measurements made by the built in pressure transducer. When connected to the fixed axle’s suspension, the pressure measurements can be used as a rough estimate of weight. The B150 allows the installer to select the pressures at which the axle should lift and lower. Selection of these pressures is important to ensure the lift axle lowers in time to avoid overweight issues and lifts in time to avoid unwanted wear to the lift axle.
Max Load Indicator
External Heater
The external heater control will turn on a B150 output wire when the module detects a possibility of freezing. If this wire is connected to an external heater, it can be used to warm a valve and decrease the possibility of a valve freezing.
