CHECKOUT, CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE gENERAL This book incorporates all motorized “y2Kb/c” balancers manufactured in Conway Arkansas. The test codes for each digital display balancer are alike, and so are the results. The JBC balancer uses “F” to begin any service procedure, the Snapon balancer begins all service procedures with a “P” code. All “F/p” codes run parrallel.
Checkout and maintenance Be supplied with correct power and ground. Give a display output. Accept Keypad input. Process commands through the Computer. Receive and process encoder/transducer inputs. Brake Display proper weight amount and location. The technician should watch a machine work and make performance assessments based on what is seen. If subsystem failure is suspected, use diagnostic tests to confirm the failure.
Checkout and maintenance FUNCTIONs OF sNApON / JBC VpI BALANCERs All the service codes are entered using F/p codes. The procedure for activating an F/p code is described below. F/p> key, the left window displays letter “F/p” and right window displays current Press and release the <...
Checkout and maintenance F/p CODE DEsCRIpTIONs OF THE BALANCER F/P 1 TOGGLE FINE WEIGHT MODE When F/p 1 is activated, the machine displays “FIN” “ON” for one second (round off 0.05 oz or 1 gram). Toggle F/p 1 again changes back to the normal round off and display changes to “FIN” “OFF” for one sec- ond (round off 0.25 oz or 5 gram).
Checkout and maintenance F/P 14 USER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE The JBC vPI and SOT balancers feature a user calibration program which requires only a few minutes to complete. Perform this procedure when the balancer has been moved, disturbed, or whenever accuracy is questioned.
Checkout and maintenance F/P 36 TOGGLE ANGLES OF LEFT AND RIGHT WEIGHTS. Begin procedure by mounting a tire and wheel assembly. Enter all wheel parameters and spin the tire and wheel assembly. After F/p36 is activated, machine displays “pOs” “ANg” first. Once the shaft moves, machine displays encoder position in integer form (from 0 to 511) in left window and angle in floating form (from 0.00 to 359) in right window.
Checkout and maintenance F 52 READ OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF THE WIDTH POTENTIOMETER This function is only available with the JBC vPI System III balancer. Slide the SAPE in the home position. <F> key, toggle the <Up / DOWN> arrow keys until “F” Press and release the “52”...

Checkout and maintenance The display will change to “sAp” “E-1” “FIN” for one sec- ond and the changes to “dis” “to” “FLA”. Pull the distance gauge to the outside flange of the backing collar, use the flat head of the calibration weight as an in- dex (80-5).
Checkout and maintenance F/P 83 FACTORY CALIBRATION PROCEDURE NOTE: THE F80 CALIBRATION MUST BE DONE BEFORE THIS OPERATION. 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. However custom parameters must be used for this proce- dure if using a balanced tire and wheel assembly Beginning with a balanced Tire and Wheel assembly •...

Checkout and maintenance Attach the 3.5 ounce weight (100 gr) on the inside of the Prue- frotor/Tire & Wheel. (Figure 3-15) • 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 ma- chine is taking data and doing calculations.
Checkout and maintenance F/P 84 EMPTY SHAFT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE <F/p> key, turn the shaft until the display reads “F/p” “84” is displayed. The display Press and release the changes to “CAL” “SHF” for one second. Then it displays “SPN” “1“. Spin the empty shaft by pressing the <ENTER>...

Checkout and maintenance sERVICINg THE BALANCER NOTE: BEFORE OPENING THE MACHINE FOR SERVICE, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY LINE AND USE THE LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURE. DANgEROUs HIgH VOLTAgEs ARE pREsENT IN THIs EQUIpMENT The balancer is supplied with 110/230 vAC . It is critical to have the proper input voltage in order for the balancer to operate correctly.
Checkout and maintenance MAIN pROCEssOR REpLACEMENT Before flashing the new main PCB on an IBP Processor, check and adjust the SAPE potentiometers for the correct voltage settings (F/p 50, F/p51, F52) see chart below. The distance setting is very critical for correct operation before flashing.
Checkout and maintenance make sure all the SAPE arms are in the home position. Remove the “dummy plug” from the secure disk slot and install the new software. Please NOTE that the secure disk will only go in one way DO NOT FORCE the media into the opening. Power up the balancer.

CHApTER 2 DIAgNOsTIC CODEs gENERAL OVERVIEW: ____________________________________________________ Balancers that have been manufactured since 2000 contain diagnostic codes to aid the technician in trouble- shooting and repair of the balancer. There are 5 different types of diagnostic codes (Start up Errors, Error Codes, H Codes, E Codes and IBP Codes).
Chapter 2 Diagnostic Codes Some notes about the operations of the wheel balancer: All measured angular positions are related to the mass to balance the wheel; they are not the positions of the imbalance mass itself. If the balancer is in service mode, some of the normal behavior is changed: •...
Chapter 2 Diagonostic Codes 2.3 SELF-TEST DuRING START-uP (CRT/HNA/HWT) A series of tests is accomplished after the machine has been turned on. If a test is not successful: • a series of audible signals is given, or • an error code is read out. On HNA/HWT or CRT models, a three-tone signal is given once, if the machine is operative.
