NOTE: Disregard a short spin cycle with Err - 2 - displayed
on the control panel during this initial testing.
4. Now lower the hood to check the activation of the AUTO-
HOOD START.
BALANCER OVERVIEW
This machine is a two-plane, microprocessor-based computer
balancer. Any imbalance in a wheel, either static or dynamic, is
detected into two correction planes (the inner and outer flanges
of the wheel) where corrective weights can be applied. Pressing
the FUN button selects either DYNAMIC, STATIC, or ALLOY
modes which changes the location of these planes.
Determining the Planes
When the distance gauge is pulled out and held against the
wheel flange, the distance measurement shown on the pull
out slide refers to the "A" OFFSET MEASUREMENT. This
measurement tells the computer the location of the INNER
plane of the wheel for Dynamic and/or Alloy balancing.
CONTROL PANEL AND DISPLAY
Control Panel Legend
1 - INNER weight position indicator lights.
2 - Weight reading or information display window. INNER
3 - GR. / OUNCE display.
4 - Weight reading or information display window. OUTER
5 - OUTER weight position indicator lights.
6 - Wheel DIAMETER setting keys.
7 - Wheel OFFSET setting keys.
By using the WHEEL CALIPERS, the wheel width or the "b"
MEASUREMENT tells the computer the location of the OUTER
plane of the wheel for Dynamic and/or Alloy balancing.
The wheel diameter will be referred as the "d" DIAMETER
MEASUREMENT. This is the diameter of the wheel at the
weight location. You can determine the diameter of the wheel /
tire on the tire sidewall to determine the wheel diameter. This
tells the computer how far from the center of the hub the weights
will be applied.
Balancing a Wheel
When a wheel is spun, the balancer detects any imbalance
present. The computer calculates the weight needed to correct
the imbalance and the location for weight application. The
weight required to correct the imbalance is displayed on the
control panel, and the weight positioning lights assist the
operator in positioning the weight application location at
top-dead-center. Weight displays and positioning lights are
provided for both inner and outer planes of the wheel.
