14.8  Optional balancing programs

14.8.1 ECO-WEIGHT mode (standard on some 

models)

TO USE THE ECO-WEIGHT PRO-

CEDURE IT IS NECESSARY THAT 

THE DISTANCE-DIAMETER CALI-

PER ARM IS ENABLED IN THE 

“OPTIONS” MENU DESCRIBED IN 

PAR. 15.1.

THE ECO-WEIGHT PROCEDURE 

CAN ONLY BE USED WITH THE 

PROGRAM ALU-S.

This procedure represents a modern system for the 

reset of the unbalance in order to reduce weights con-
sumption. This procedure ensures a fastest execution 
of the operations, thanks to a lesser number of spins 
and repositioning.
After making the wheel spin in ALU-S mode, the moni-
tor shows the total of 2 adhesive weights to precisely 
correct STATIC and DYNAMIC unbalance.

It is possible to fit a single weight at a predetermined 
distance from the machine, so as to optimize the weight 
consumption and reduce both the DYNAMIC and any 
remaining STATIC unbalance as much as possible.
Unlike  the  standard  STATIC  procedure,  the  ECO-
WEIGHT  procedure,  though  only  using  one  weight, 
also  considerably  reduces  the  DYNAMIC  unbalance, 
because the fitting distance of the weight on the rim 
is also calculated.
From ALU-S unbalance results page, if there is con-

siderable static unbalance, press the button 

 to 

display on the following monitor screen:

Press button 

 to select such procedure and bring 

automatically the wheel into weight fitting position.

is not recommended to carry out ECO-WEIGHT 
procedure)
