CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE
Effective

P CODE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE BALANCER
P2 RIM WIDTH INCH / MILLIMETER
Selecting P2 toggles the balancer between inch and millimeters for rim width. Unit will display
“DtH I NCH”
for
inches pressing P2 again toggles to millimeters and the display changes to
“DtH”
for millimeters.
P3 GRAM / OUNCE
Selecting P3 toggles the balancer between Grams and Ounces.
P4 CALIBRATION WITH ADAPTER OR DISABLE ADAPTER COMPENSATION
Some special tires and those wheels whose center holes are not the primary reference but are lug centric
require an adapter or a Motorcycle Adapter. In this case, the adapter may introduce an unbalance to the spin
system (Motorcycle Adapter). This means that this unbalance has to be taken away after tire unbalance is
measured. This P code is used to measure the unbalance of shaft and adapter together and saves it in memory
and set an adapter compensation flag to tell the program to use adapter compensation after tire balance is done.
Also the P4 is a toggle switch, it is used to turn this flag off.
• After P4 is activated, machine displays
“CAL ADP”
for one second. And then it displays
“SPN 1”.
Operator spins the shaft just like ordinary balancing. When the machine is taking data and calculation, it
displays
“CAL BAL”
to tell the operator the machine is working on the balancing procedure. Once the
calibration is done, machine displays
“ADP FIN”
to indicate the calibration is successful. Once the
shaft stops, machine displays
“--- ---“
and exits the P4 automatically. The machine is now in an idle
state.
• When the machine is working under the application of an adapter, the balancing mode display is different
for ordinary balancing. In ordinary balancing the machine displays
“--- 2PL”
while the machine is taking
data. In balancing with an adapter, the machine displays
“AdP 2PL”
as it takes data. This reminds the
operator he is under adapter compensation mode. So if the operator does not use an adapter and the
machine displays
“AdP”
in left the window, the operator should turn off the adapter compensation by
toggling
P 4
, or just recycle the power.
P7 TOGGLE MILLIMETER AND INCH FOR DIAMETER
If a metric tire is to be balanced, the diameter can be changed to enter the tire parameters in millimeter opposed
to inches. The default is set up to inches. Pressing P7 again toggles the balancer back.
“dIA ICH”
= inches,
“dIA ---”
= millimeters.
P12 READ COUNTERS.
The balancer has 4 counters that keeps track of total number of cycles for a certain parameter. The balancer
will automatically cycle through the counters after P12 is pressed. The order of the counters.
1.
Display
“Ctr ALL”
for one second.
Counter number of all spins.
2.
Display
“Ctr CAL”
for one second.
Counter number of spins since last calibration.
3.
Display
“Ctr SrV”
for one second.
Counter number of service spins.
4.
Display
“Ctr USR”
for one second.
Counter number of user spins.
