  • Page 28 Manually turn the wheel clockwise passing the imbalance point (previously identified) up to the point at which you want to apply the external weight W2 and press [P1] to confirm. The angle formed by weights W1 and W2 must not be less than 120° and must include external weight W. If external weight W is not included between the positions of weights W1 and W2, the machine will display error code Err 052, thus indicating to repeat the procedure in step 7.

  • Page 29: Second Operator

    18. SECOND OPERATOR The machine has two separate memories allowing two operators to work simultaneously with different settings. This feature can make operations at the workshop quicker because when, for example, an operator is busy with removing or remounting a tyre, the other operator can use the machine to perform balancing operations and vice versa.

  • Page 30: Utility Programs

    19. UTILITY PROGRAMS Utility programs are available only in NORMAL mode. 19.1 Selection of 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 weight unit of measurement as indicated in table T19.1.

    guard raised. clamping brake will be enabled for 30 seconds. The three SWI modes have functions that are slightly different one from the other although, in all modes, the ultimate goal is to block the wheel at an angular position of imbalance and make operator’s tasks quicker. 19.4.1 Automatic SWI procedure During the automatic SWI procedure, the machine will measure rotational speed during braking at completion of the spin and, when this reaches a predetermined value, it will release the brake allowing the wheel to spin freely by inertia.
