Functional Description
- The roller brake tester can be used to test the brake systems of two-track vehicles and has a
certification for vehicle inspections in accordance with § 29 StVZO in relation with appendix VIII
main inspections
- The right and left brakes will be inspected independently.
- The pairs of rolls are each driven by an electric motor which is mounted on swivel bearings and
transfers the occurring torsional forces to a bending beam.
- The integrated microprocessor control evaluates the measuring results.
- The rotational speed of the wheels is measured by means of the rotating sensor rolls. If the
difference between the rotational speed of the wheels and the input speed is about 25% (slip),
the test stand will be switched off for safety reasons.

Description of the Process
5.3.1
Set of Rollers
- Depending on the version, the roller set is available as a self-contained or a two-part model. Two-
part roller sets are primarily used when installed on top of repair pits. Depending on the national
regulations, safety elements are required for securing the pit during the construction of the pit.
- Depending on their design, self-contained roller sets can be mounted into a foundation or at floor
level with ramps. If the roller set is installed at floor level, access and exit ramps are required.
- The roller set is pre-wired and has to be connected to the control box.
- The display units are to be connected with the control box.
5.3.2
Control Box
- The main power supply must be on site where the control box has been installed.
5.4
Display Units
- The display units are connected to the control box.
5.4.1
Moving-needle analogue display
- The moving-needle analogue display is equipped with a retaining clip. It can be mounted on a
foot or attached to the wall by means of wall brackets.
- It must be mounted in such a fashion that it can clearly be seen when sitting in the vehicle.
5.4.2
PC-Display Units
- In general, the information defined by the manufacturer of the PC display needs to be followed.
- When operated in connection with a needle display, the PC display can be mounted somewhere
out of sight of the vehicle, up to a distance which is in range of the customary connection
devices.
- Without any needle display the PC display should be mounted in sight of the testing area.
