INCONSISTENT UNBALANCE READINGS
In some cases, when a wheel that has just been balanced is repositioned on the balancer, the machine can detect
an unbalance.
This is not a machine problem but is due to faulty mounting of the wheel on the flange. In other words, when
mounting the wheel after initial balancing, it has taken another position with respect to the balancer shaft axis.
If the wheel has been mounted on the flange with screws, the screws may not have been tightened correctly (criss-
cross sequence) or the tolerances of the holes drilled in the wheel may be too large. Small errors, up to 10 grams
(0.4 oz), are to be considered normal in wheels locked with the relative cone: The error is normally greater for
wheels locked with screws or studs.
Following
balancing,
if
the wheel is still unbalanced when
installed
on the vehicle, this could be due to an
unbalanced brake drum or
the tolerances of the holes drilled in the rim and drum are too large.
ALARM SIGNAL
The machine has a self-diagnostics cycle which identifies the most frequent malfunctions during the normal work
cycle. These malfunctions are processed by the system and shown on the display.
The information in the POSSIBLE REMEDY column requires work to be performed by specialist technicians or other authorised people
who must always work using the Personal Protective Equipment indicated in the INSTALLATION manual. In some cases, this work can
be performed by a normal operator.
ERROR
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Black
The wheel balancer does not switch on
Err. 1
No rotation signal
Err. 2
Speed too low during detection
During the unbalance measurement revo-
lutions, the wheel speed has fallen to
below 42 rpm
Err. 3
Unbalance too high
Err. 4
Rotation in opposite direction
After pressing [START], the wheel
starts turning in the opposite direction
(anticlockwise)
Err. 5
Guard open
Err. 7/
Err. 8/
Err. 9
NOVRAM parameter read error
▪
Verify correct connection to the mains
▪
Verify and eventually replace the fuses on the power card
▪
Verify monitor function
▪
Replace the computer board
▪
Check in self-diagnostics that the encoder functions properly
▪
Replace the phase pick-up board
▪
Replace the computer board
▪
Make sure that a vehicle wheel is mounted on the wheel balancer
▪
Use the self-diagnostics function to check the encoder
▪
Disconnect the piezo connectors from the board and do a spin
(if no error is detected, replace the piezo sensors)
▪
Replace the CPU board
▪
Verify wheel dimension settings
▪
Check detection unit connections
▪
Perform machine calibration
▪
Mount a wheel with more or less known unbalance (less than 100
grammes) and verify the response of the machine
▪
Replace the computer board
▪
Check in self-diagnostics that the encoder functions properly
▪
Check the bearing/spring of the phase generator
▪
Reset the error
▪
Close the guard
▪
Verify the function of the protection Switch
▪
Switch off the machine and wait for at least ~ 1 min.; re-start the
machine and check it works properly
▪
Repeat machine calibration
▪
Replace the computer board
Important: Always read and follow the instructions.
