If the wheel balancer 

switches off, when 

switch on the gauges 

activate again. 

 
14.2 Temporary disabling of the width external sensor 

If the machine displays error code 

ERR 065 

(Width sensor not in the rest position) when powered up, even if in rest position or 

ERR 

067

 (The Width sensor is enabled but disconnected) it means that an anomaly occurred in the acquisition system. However, it is 

possible to temporarily disable the width sensor by pressing on icon   

. The disabling condition is highlighted by the  

  

status icon, indicating that the automatic acquisition system is disabled and that the machine is ready for use. As it is not possible to 
use the automatic acquisition system, the wheel dimensions must be entered manually. By turning the machine off and back on 
again, the error code will re-appear and you will once again need to proceed as described above. If the automatic acquisition system 
is malfunctioning and it blocks the machine in a permanent acquisition function, the temporary disabling could be done also after 
the machine is switched on.  

Note: the temporary disabling of the Distance/Diameter sensor also acts on the sensor for the automatic acquisition of width. 

 
15. MACHINE CALIBRATION 

To function properly, the machine must be calibrated. Calibration allows storing the mechanical and electrical parameters specific to 
each machine so as to provide the best balancing results. 

 
15.1 When to carry out machine calibration 

Table T15.1 lists the cases in which machine calibration should be carried out.  

Table T15.1: Conditions for carrying out machine calibration
