John Bean BFH 1000 Series Operators Manual
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing the
BFH 1000
Series Computer Ride Diagnostic Wheel Balancer. This wheel bal-
ancer is designed for ease of operation, accuracy, reliability and speed. With proper maintenance and care your
wheel balancer will provide many years of trouble-free operation.
BFH Ride Diagnostics Balancer - Precautions To Observe
Your BFH 1000 Series Ride Diagnostics Balancer utilizes the latest in electronics and instrumentation technology,
incorporating three separate scanning lasers along with an embedded computer (PC). Following the precautions
listed below will help to ensure continuous and satisfactory operation of your unit.
1) Install the balancer on a dedicated power line in order to avoid electrical noise and power line fluctuations.
Avoid power cord length greater that 15 feet.
2)
The BFH1000 Series Ride Diagnostic Wheel Balancer utilizes red scanning lasers which actually create an
image of the wheel being diagnosed. Install the balancer away from direct sunlight so that the laser beams can
be detected by the scanner. Avoid placing high intensity lamps and infrared heaters near the BFH balancer.
3) Diagnose and balance only those wheels which fit within the specifications of the BFH Balancer:
Rim width = 3 - 20 inches
Rim diameter = 8 - 30 inches
Max tire diameter = 44 inches
Minimum distance required from cabinet to rim edge = 56 mm (2.20 inches) for wheel sizes 13-18 inches in
diameter.
Minimum distance required from cabinet to rim edge = 81 mm (3.19 inches) for wheel sizes 19-24 inches in
diameter.
4) The BFH balancer is designed to properly scan the profile of existing rims. Extreme geometric combinations
of rim diameter and flange offset can inhibit the proper viewing of the rim profile. These exceptional rims can
be properly balanced by manually entering the distance, diameter, and width of the rim.
5)
The wheel guard of the BFH1000 Series Ride Diagnostic Wheel Balancer also serves as the housing for one of
the scanning lasers. Since the laser must remain stationary once the spin cycle begins, do not lean on or
otherwise disturb the wheel guard until the spin cycle has been completed.
Instructions on use, operational requirements and routine maintenance of the machine are covered in this manual.
This unit uses an open source Linux operating system for its user interface. This open source code is available
for the cost of shipping and handling to owners of the BFH1000 Series Ride Diagnostic Wheel Balancer.
Requests must be made to the attention of balancer product management at the Conway AR address listed on
the back of this manual. Please include the owners name, address and unit serial number with all requests.
STORE THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.
