A. Important notices
Please observe before using the VOSSOBW501
SGsensor
VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
is suitable for axles in commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles and light
duty vehicles.

Before starting with the assembly process of the VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
, carefully read these
assembly instructions and make sure that you have understood these.
Before starting with the assembly process, provide the required materials and tools,
mentioned in chapter “C. Assembly instructions”.
The sensor / system must be installed and connected in accordance with the regulations valid
for the vehicle and country in question.
Make sure ignition is switched off and battery is disconnected before starting any installation.
The sensor has to be stored dry and free from humidity.
Do not remove the sensor from the ESDprotection bag before installing it in the vehicle.
Do not use the sensor data to control safety-relevant vehicle functions, e.g., ABS or ESP.

Please observe during the assembly of the VOSSOBW501
SGsensor
The assembly of the VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
must be conducted by professional mechanics
subject to these assembly instructions.
Incorrectly assembled sensors can result in failure of the system.
Before using the sensor, components must be checked. They have to be clean and must not
show any signs of damage. In case of any damage, the sensor has to be replaced.
Handle sensor with care to avoid damage due to mechanical shock and electrostatic
discharge.
VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
is measuring the strain of the material. To make sure the sensor can
measure correctly, the surface has to be clean, straight and free from grease or other release
agents (see chapter “C. Assembly instructions 1. Grinding and cleaning of surfaces”).
To protect the sensor, it hast to be covered by a protection cover and by sealing. The cable has
always to be protected by a corrugated tube. Avoid bending the cable around sharp edges
and below the specified minimum bending radius of 35 mm. The sensor will be adhesive
bonded and the cable fixed on the chassis (see chapter “C. Assembly instructions 2. Assembly
of VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
”). It is recommended to apply a first fixation of supply cable at a
distance of 150 mm behind the protection cover.
The sensor has a 3-wire harness. For connection and setup instructions see chapter
“C. Assembly instructions 3. Setup of VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
”.
Observe the manufacturer's safety instructions and handling of adhesive and sealing material.

1. Grinding and cleaning of surfaces
Before starting cleaning, make sure that the vehicle is safely parked, the engine of vehicle is turned off (no
voltage on electrical supply lines), and the vehicle axle is ina temperature range of +10 °C to +30 °C
(+50 °F to +86 °F).
Provide the following materials/tools: angel grinder with grain 80, drilling machine with 60 and 120
grain, abrasive paper 120, abrasive paper 240, cleaning cloths, lint-free cloths and cleaning solvent:
acetone + 2-propanol (mixing ratio 1:1).
Use the middle of the axle as assembly area for the VOSSOBW501
SG sensor
. Minimum
100 mm x 60 mm needed as installation space incl. protection cover. The surface of sensor installation
(ca. 30 mm x 20 mm) has to be grinded flat.
Use gloves, while working. Prepare yourself with further personal protective equipment, if needed
according to local regulations. We recommend wearing working gloves and safety goggles.
Step 1
Before starting the grinding process, area must be free from
grease and release agents.
Polish the surface by using angle grinder with grain 80.
Do not grind an indentation.

grain 60
Step 3
Continuously polish the surface by using drilling machine
with grain 120.

grain 120
Step 4
Grind the surface fine by hand by using abrasive paper with
grain 120.
This step should be performed on an area at least as
large as the sensing part, ca. 30 mm x 20 mm.

Step 5
Grind the surface fine by hand by using abrasive paper with
grain 240.
This step should be performed on an area at least as
large as the sensing part, ca. 30 mm x 20 mm.

Step 8
Use lint-free cloth and cleaning solvent for the final cleaning.
During this process, you need to change the cloth,
until the cloth remains white after wiping. This may
take several attempts. Prepared surface has to be
completely free of dirt, paint, dust, oil and grease.

Step 8.1
Use lint-free cloth and cleaning solvent for the final cleaning.
During this process, you need to change the cloth,
until the cloth remains white after wiping. This may
take several attempts. Prepared surface has to be
completely free of dirt, paint, dust, oil and grease.
