7. Setup
The Setup screen provides the user with many possibili-
ties required for presetting the machine in relation to his
own requirements. Such settings remain unaltered even
when the machine is switched off.
The following buttons
are enabled:
: return to previous window;
: return to measurement screen;
from to : for parameter selection.
7.1 LANGUAGE
This function allows selection of the language to be used
for displaying descriptive and diagnostic messages regar-
ding machine operation.
7.2 UNIT OF UNBALANCE MEASUREMENT
It is possible to select whether to display the unbalance
values expressed in grams or ounces.
7.3 U N B A L A N C E T H R E S H O L D S -
WEIGHTLESS (
also see
CORRECTION METHOD
)
For standard balancing without WeightLess the threshold
can be preset, below which the wording “OK” appears on
the screen at the end of the run instead of the unbalance
value. The default value is 5 g. For balancing with Weight-
Less the threshold for the static rest unbalance can be set.
The value preset corresponds to the weight of a wheel with
6” width and 15” diameter. The default value is 5 g. It is
recommended to use this value, as it can be used for most
vehicles and tyres. The machine automatically calculates
the static thresholds for other dimensions and for the corre-
sponding dynamic (couple) thresholds.
The tolerance varies based on the correction method
selected.
In the case of WEIGHT LESS, set the static tolerance limit
and the average weight of a reference wheel of 6” in width
and 15” in diameter.
The following buttons are enabled:
parameter selection during setting
parameter decrease/increase during
setting
default parameter setting recommen-
ded by the manufacturer
return to previous frame.
7.4 UNBALANCE DISPLAY PITCH -
MINISTAT
This represents the unbalance display pitch and varies in
relation to the unit of measurement selected. The selection
“5 g” (1/4 oz) enables display of the correction values on both
sides such as to bring the static restunbalance to 0 (ideal).
It is recommended to preset this function as standard on the
machine as it improves the balancing quality. The computer
makes a complex calculation which allows cancelling the
residual static unbalance by varying the value and position of
the counterweights fi xed in steps of 5 grams (1/4 oz).
7.5 RUN WITH GUARD CLOSED
By selecting “ON”, the wheel balancer automatically starts
to spin when the wheel guard is lowered.
7.6 SCREEN-SAVER TIME
When the machine remains unused for longer than the
time preset with this function, the processor automatically
returns to a screen with screen-saver. Preset the time in
seconds.
7.7 WHEEL LOCKING ENABLE
Enables/disables wheel locking in the correction posi-
tion.
The possible options are:
OFF: disabled
ON:
enabled
ALUM : enables wheel locking in position for the ALUM
correction mode only.
You can also lock the wheel using [F1] + [STOP].
