  • Page 2: Control Panel

    1. CONTROL PANEL The machine control panel is shown in Figure F1. The control panel allows the operator to give commands and enter or modify data. The same control panel displays the balancing results and machine messages. The functions of the various sections of the control panel are described in table T1. The rear side of the control panel contains the CPU-C1 electronic control board that collects, processes and displays data.

  • Page 5 1.2 NORMAL, SERVICE, STAND-BY operating modes The machine features three operating modes: • NORMAL mode. T his mode is enabled when the machine is switched on and allows the machine to run wheel balancing; • SERVICE mode. In this mode, there are a number of utility programs available to enter settings (e.g. unit of measure in grams or ounces) or controls for machine operation (such as calibration). • STAND-BY mode. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the machine automatically switches to the STAND-BY mode to reduce power consumption. The green STBY LED present on the control panel flashes to indicate that the machine is in this mode.

The sensor’s contact point on the rim will assume an intermediate position between 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock depending on the diameter of the rim. See also table T3.3; 6.

  • Page 23: Machine Calibration

    4. MACHINE CALIBRATION To operate the machine properly, it must be calibrated. Calibration allows storing the mechanical and electrical parameters specific to each machine so as to provide the best balancing results. 4.1 When to carry out machine calibration Table T4 lists the cases in which machine calibration should be carried out. Calibration must be carried out whenever one or more of the conditions listed are active.
  • Page 24 To run the machine calibration, proceed as follows: 1. Start-up the machine; 2. Remove the wheel and any other accessories from the shaft; 3. Press [F+P3]. The writing SER SER will be displayed (this means that we have entered the SERVICE mode) (service program);...
  • Page 25 16. Calibration is completed: the machine automatically exits the calibration program and returns to the NORMAL mode, ready to perform the balancing. If during machine calibration there are some anomalies, error codes will be displayed (e.g. Err 025). See chapter 6.1 Error Codes and act accordingly to eliminate the problem and to continue/repeat/cancel the calibration in progress.
  • Page 26 . The writing SER SER will be displayed (this means that we have 3. Press [F+P3] entered the SERVICE mode). . The writing CAL CAR (calibration for auto-vehicle and off-road vehicle wheels) 4. Press [P3] will be displayed; 5. To select the MOTO (motorbike wheel) calibration type, press [P4] or [P5] .
  • Page 27 Fig.4.2.2 4.3.1 How to exit from auto-vehicle calibration mode for the MOTO Wheel Type You can exit the ongoing calibration procedure at any time by pressing [F+P3] . The machine will return to the SERVICE mode displaying the writing SER SER. To return to the NORMAL mode, press [F+P3] again.
  • Page 28 5. OPTIMISATION The optimisation program is used to minimise the amount of balancing weights to be applied on the rim by opposing the imbalance of the rim to that of the tire. Therefore, use this program when the wheel requires the application of heavy balancing weights. To access the optimisation program proceed as follows: 1.
  • Page 29 Fig. F5.3 - “Bring the valve to the 12 o’clock position” message 3. Bring the valve to the 12 o’clock position, mark the valve position on the tire (see figure F5.4). Fig. F5.4 - Marking of the valve position on the tire 4.

Rotate the wheel until all position arrow LEDs light up and then mark the 12 o’clock position as shown in figure F5.4;...
  • Page 31 Note: This program can be used with any Program Type and with any Wheel Type. It can also be used to divide the static weight into two separate weights (especially useful with wheels for motorbikes). To use this program, proceed as follows: 1.
  • Page 32 Fig. F6.4 Input of the weight W2 position 7. Rotate the wheel manually until the point where you want to apply the external weight W2 is reached and press [P1] to confirm. The angle formed by the weights W1 and W2 must not be less than 120° and must include the external weight W. 8.
  • Page 33 8. UTILITY PROGRAMMES Utility programs are available only in NORMAL mode. 8.1 Selecting the imbalance display resolution The machine has two wheel imbalance display resolutions. The two resolutions are defined as X1 (high resolution) and X5 (low resolution). The resolution with which the imbalances of the wheel are displayed varies depending on the unit of weight as indicated in table T8.1.
  • Page 34 8.2 Selection of the static imbalance display To view the static imbalance, press [F+P2] . The machine will show the static imbalance value on the display as seen in figure F8.1 and the LED next to the button lights up. Fig.
