Automatic Balance Operation

Balance button to start an Auto-Balance cycle. This screen displays for
the duration of the balance cycle, showing the

may be run with an accurate Manual RPM value entered if there is no incoming RPM signal.
The
symbol will rock back and forth during the balance cycle to indicate activity, and the Weight
indicators will show + / - to show weight activity and direction. The balance cycle continues until the Limit
setting is reached, or the cycles fails and times out.

Manual Weight Movement - Automatic Balance Mode
The SB-1000 in Automatic Balance also allows the weights in the SBS Balancer to be operated manually.
The ability to move the balance weights is useful for performing diagnostic tests and allows operators to
manually balance machines where needed. From the Main screen press the Manual button to display the
Manual Weight Movement screen, showing the symbol in the status area of the screen.
If an incoming RPM signal is not detected, then this screen will
request a “Manual RPM” value be entered. The RPM value is
changed using the arrow keys.
Press
Manual,
Setup, or
Cancel to go on to balance
mode (
Cancel will not save the new RPM).
The Manual RPM value will be used until an actual RPM signal
is detected, which will then replace it.
The Manual Weight Movement screen can be used to move the weights in a balancer.
The
buttons will move one of the balancer weights in the indicated direction. The
buttons will
move the other balancer weight in the indicated direction. Pressing a button will cause a 30 ms motion
followed by a short pause, and then the weight will move continuously until the button is released. The
displayed arrow will fill in to show weight activity. Only one weight can be moved at a time.
Cancel will exit setup mode and return to the Main screen,
Setup will go to Setup Mode, and
Balance will start an auto balance cycle.
