EVICE 1 General Safety Instructions 1.1 Operator’s duty of care The runout measurement device RPV1300 has been designed and built after thorough selection of applicable harmonised standards. It therefore corresponds to the current state of the art and offers the highest degree of safety during operation.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE 1.2 Basic safety precautions The runout measurement device may only be used by accordingly qualified and authorised personnel who are familiar with these operating instructions and can work in accordance with these instructions! Prior to each use of the device it has to be checked for visible damage...
The runout of the individual wheel is also tested and – if necessary – optimised to be able to make a statement about this value. The laser sensors of the runout measurement device RPV1300 measure the rim on both sides, in the area of the hump (tyre seating on the rim) and the tyre over the tread lugs and evaluates it using the program.

RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE 6 Preparing for measurement recording Different preconditions have to be met on the vehicle wheel for correct measurement. • Drive the tyre for approx. 15 min. to warm it up and prevent flat spots • Check that the vehicle has rims and tires of the same size •...
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE 6.1.1 Setup of measuring device on vehicle wheel Depending on the version, 2 or 3 sensors are placed at the vehicle wheel. The positions of the laser sensors on the wheel are determined to create a distance (A) between sensor and measuring point in the range of 80 to 120 mm.
7.1 Entering vehicle, wheel and rim data in the program At least two laser sensors are connected to the PC and the PC is switched on. The program rpv1300 is running and is set to the start page. • Click on “Start measurement”.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE Measurement recording 7.2 Selecting the wheel to be measured Depending on the number of previously entered tyres and the rim data a selection of the wheels to be measured is now available. (Fig. 36) The circle symbol on each vehicle wheel indicates the current status.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE Measurement recording 7.3 Assigning the laser sensors After selecting the wheel for measuring click Next to go to the next program page (Fig. 42). The positions of the individual laser sensors have to be assigned to the program.

RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE If a distance warning appears while assigning the laser sensors, adjust the distance to rim or tyre and repeat the process. (Fig. 46) (Fig. 46) approx. 50 mm The exact position has to be determined because the position of the laser sensor for the tyre tread can be at any point outside the wheel centre.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE Measurement recording 7.4 Markings on the wheel Before starting the measurement you should always apply markings to wheel and rim. (e.g. using chalk). • The first marking is the starting point on the 1 tread lug.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE Measurement recording 7.6 Start wheel measurement When: all wheel data have been entered, the laser sensors have been positioned correctly and assigned to the program, (Fig. 52) the wheel to be measured has been marked on rim and tyre ...
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE Measurement recording 7.7 Error during wheel measurement • Shifting of the laser sensors on the wheel If the message - Measuring value error on the first tread lug! - appears during measurement, the program has detected an inaccuracy to the control point from the first tread lug.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE 8 Control measurement after matching 8.1 Control measurement When the runout on the wheel has been corrected by the matching procedure the program can be used to carry out a corrective measurement for this wheel. For this, the measuring device has to be aligned on the corrected wheel.
RPV1300 UNOUT EASUREMENT EVICE Control measurement After the measurement the program automatically changes to the result with the circle diagram. The individual results are displayed under the heading Evaluation ( Fig. 62 • Click on “Next”. (Fig. 62) This completes measuring of the individual wheel and...
