IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions. Do not operate equipment with a damaged power cord or if the equipment has been damaged - until it has been examined by a qualified authorized service technician. If an extension cord is used, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the machine should be used.
INTRODUCTION ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Make sure the balancer is unplugged before disconnecting any wires in preparation for replacing any boards, cables or other items within the unit. Use the “Lockout and/or Tagout” procedure. SERVICE GUIDELINES / HANDLING STATIC SENSITIVE PCB’S Electrostatic discharge can destroy high impedance ICs if uncontrolled.
CHAPTER 1 AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION LOCKOUT AND/OR TAGOUT SYSTEM PROCEDURE 1. Notify all affected employees that a lockout or tagout system is going to be utilized and why. The autho- rized employee should know the electrical power the machine uses and it’s hazards. 2.
CHAPTER 1 AC/DC POWER DISTRIBUTION AC / DC DISTRIBUTION The balancer is supplied with a power transformer. It is critical to have the proper input voltage in order for the balncer to operate correctly. The transformer is rated at 9VAC @ 1900 milliamps. 9VAC is supplied to the Power Supply pcb.

THEORY OF OPERATION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The EEWB314A wheel balancer is designed to compute static and dynamic imbalance of car, light truck, motorcycle and truck wheels. Wheels are attached to the shaft using precision centering adapters and retainers. The shaft rotates on precision bearings on the shaft support.
CHAPTER 2 THEORY OF OPERATION TERMINOLOGY Figure 2-1 Display Layout Before using the wheel balancer it is suggested that you become familiar with the terminology of the machine’s com- ponents. Refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2. 1. Display for inner plane imbalance 2.
CHAPTER 2 THEORY OF OPERATION BALANCER COMPONENTS UPPER DISPLAY The upper display is made up of 4 major components. Main processor, Power Supply, Digital Display, Keypad. The upper display processes all information along with providing all electrical requirements to all sub compo- nents.
CHAPTER 2 THEORY OF OPERATION ENCODER The encoder is built into the shaft with no adjustments. The encoder disk is built onto the shaft and cannot be replaced without replacing the vibratory member.The new incremental encoder is fitted in the vibratory tube and consists of a reflective slotted sleeve which is mounted on the main shaft and the optoelectronic unit.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE SHAFT IMBALANCE, WHEEL ADAPTER TO SHAFT REMOUNT TEST This test proves the wheel balancer centering device is balanced, turns true and proves the centering device inside taper and balancer shaft outside taper (mating surfaces) are true. 1.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOT USING CORRECT DIAGNOSTICS PROCEDURES! Balancers are relatively simple pieces of machinery. With proper diagnostic procedures, balancer problems should be quickly resolved. The Basics that the technician must never overlook are: 1. AC Power. The unit must be supplied with correct AC power. 2.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS OF HAND SPIN BALANCER All the service codes are part of P codes. The procedure for activating a P code is described below. 1. Press the P key, the left window displays letter “P” and right window displays current P code number. If the machine does not activate a P code in this power cycle, it displays a number of “0”.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE 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.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE P14 USER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE The calibration function compares current transducer output to P Key factory calibration transducer output (P83). If the range is not acceptable the balancer reverts back to the known last calibra- tion.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE P18 ALU-S MODE Aluminum Static: See the operation manual for a detailed explanation. P19 ALU-S SINGLE PLANE BALANCING MODE See the operation manual for a detailed explanation. P20 TOGGLE VEHICLE / MOTORCYCLE SOFTWARE Enters the balancer software into a motorcycle software mode. See the operators manual for a detailed expla- nation of the use of the motorcycle software.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE P50 READ OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF POTENTIOMETER OF SAPE. This displays the output voltage of the distance potentiometer. Slide the SAPE in the home position. Hold the P key and turn Diameter funtion knob until P50 is displayed and release the P key. Display in the Right Hand window should read 4.00VDC +/- 0.10.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE P 83 FACTORY CALIBRATION PROCEDURE NOTE: THE F80 CALIBRATION MUST BE DONE BEFORE THIS OPERATION. NOTE: THE MOTORCYCLE BALANCER REQUIRES A 28MM SHAFT, CONE AND WING NUT TO FIT THE SHAFT BE USED. A balanced tire and wheel assembly can be substituted if a Pruefrotor is not available. The calibration proce- dures are the same and can easily be performed.

CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE Attach the 3.5 ounce weight (100 gr) on the inside of the Pruefrotor/Tire & Wheel. (Figure 3-9) • Spin the Pruefrotor/Tire & Wheel by lowering the hood or pressing the enter key. • Displays “CAL” ‘2” when the shaft reaches 90 RPM’s. The machine is taking data and doing calculations.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE P84 EMPTY SHAFT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE CAN ONLY BE DONE USING THE PRUEFROTOR. 1. Hold the P key and turn Diameter funtion knob until “P” “84” is dis- played and release the P key. The display changes to “CAL” “SHF” for one second.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE SERVICING THE BALANCER NOTE: BEFORE OPENING THE MACHINE FOR SERVICE, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY LINE. The balancer is supplied with a power transformer. It is critical to have the proper input voltage in order for the balancer to operate correctly.
CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE MAIN PROCESSOR REPLACEMENT Tools required: • Programmed EPROM The Processor must be programmed with software before it can be used. Disconnect the power from the unit. Locate the Main Processor PCB, on the rear of the Display PCB.

CHAPTER 3 CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE VOLTAGE REGULATOR The balancer can operate using AC power or using the Snap-on Versavolt battery pack used to power Snap- on power tools. The balancer will accomodate either the 12V, 14.4V or 18V battery pack. The voltage regulator is designed to keep the incoming power from the battery regulated to 12VDC.
