Description of function
Display and key pad
The display and key pad are arranged on the ergonomic front
panel.
Distance gauge arm
The distance between left correction plane and machine is de-
termined by means of an integrated gauge arm with scale. The
reading shown on the scale is also entered via the key pad in the
same way as for rim diameter and rim width.
Entry of rim diameter and rim width is via the key pad, whereby
the relative function key is held pressed while the wheel is ro-
tated to change the desired value. On releasing the key the
chosen input is stored.
The input range is identical with the working range of the ma-
chine (see § 15. Technical data).
Balancing mode
s
Readings in different balancing modes (weight position on the
rim) can be given on the display, depending on the type of wheel
to be balanced (car, light truck, PAX, steel or alloy rim).
Measuring run and measured values
All measurements are taken and stored in one run during the
automatic program. On completion of measurement two aud-
ible signals are given.
Amounts and locations of unbalance are read out separately for
each correction plane.
Main shaft lock
The machine has a pedal-operated main shaft lock which is
used to retain the wheel in the correction position so that the
balance weights can be fitted. This lock is designed only to fa-
cilitate orientation of the wheel and must not be used for braking
the main shaft.
Store wheel profiles
Wheel profiles permit the storage of values for wheels that are
balanced frequently in order to save having to enter the wheel
data etc. each time. It is possible to store up to 4 wheel profiles.
Error codes
Errors in operation or failures in the electronic or mechanical
system are signalled via respective error codes (see § 11.
Error codes).
Readjustment by the operator
If several measuring runs are necessary to balance a wheel be-
cause balance weight size and position have to be adjusted re-
peatedly, this is often due to insufficient measurement accu-
racy.
In such case the operator has the possibility of readjusting the
machine (see § 13. User calibration).
Optional wheel guard
As the maximum speed of the wheel during balancing is below
100 rpm a wheel guard is not mandatory in Germany, however
an optional wheel guard can be supplied. With mounted wheel
guard, the electronic unit can be programmed via code C13 so
that measurement is started by closing of the guard.
