Definition of dimensions (DIM):

A = Offset

The distance measured from the bal-
ancer (“0” on the offset arm) to the inner
plane of the rim (inner weight location).

W = Width

The width of the wheel at the rim
flanges, measured with the calipers as
shown in figure 42.

Note:

Only use calipers provided by the wheel bal-

ancer manufacturer because others may not be the
same.

D = Diameter

The diameter of the wheel as indi-
cated on the tire.

Figure 41 - Manual Measurements Screen

When necessary, the wheel dimensions can be

inserted or edited in manual mode. At the initial screen
or during calibrations follow these instructions on-
screen when setting DIM option 

.

Manually Setting “A” DIM

1.

Press SELECT option 

to highlight (in red) the

rim offset (A) DIM.

2.

Position offset arm at clip-on weight location on

wheel and read the number, on the slide out offset
arm, at the cabinet (this is the correct offset DIM).

3.

Using 

+

or 

-

, manually set the offset

DIM on-screen (highlighted red) to match the offset
number of the mounted tire.

Manually Setting “W” DIM

1.

Press SELECT option 

to highlight (in red) the

rim width (W) DIM.

2.

Figure 42 - Caliper Location Diagrams

3.

Using 

+

or 

-

, manually set the rim width

DIM on-screen (highlighted red) to match the meas-
ured caliper width of the mounted rim.

Manually Setting “D” DIM

1.

Press SELECT option 

to highlight (in red) the

rim diameter (D) DIM.

2.

Inspect mounted tire sidewall to determine the

exact diameter that is printed on the tire.

-

, manually set the tire diam-

eter DIM on-screen (highlighted red) to match the tire
