BALANCING MODE Be sure to balance the car wheel in CAR mode and to balance the truck wheel in TRUCK mode. 6.4.1 DYNAMIC MODE The initial screen when switching on is in DYNAMIC mode. The dynamic mode is used for most passenger and light truck wheels using the most common location for corrective weights.
6.4.3 STANDARD ALU MODE (only for CAR mode) All the ALU modes are dynamic balance. Choose the option that best fits the available locations as shown in the figure 16. From the measurement screen, press to select the modes ALU1 ALU2 ALU3 ALU4.
6.4.4 UNBALANCE OPTIMIZATION – OPT (only for CAR mode) This function is used to determine the best mating of tire and rim that will result in the least amount of total unbalance of the wheel. It severs to reduce the amount of weight to be added in order to balance the wheel.
CHAPTER 7 – SET UP SELF-DIAGNOSIS Fig. 16 Diagnosis of phase Rotate the wheel in direction of rotation, the readouts display from 0 to 255. Rotate the wheel in reverse direction of rotation, the readouts displays from 255 to 0. Diagnosis of inner piezo Push the balancing shaft from any direction, the readouts change.
SELF-CALIBRATION Make sure to calibrate the machine in CAR mode using a car wheel or in TRUCK mode using a truck wheel. Make sure to entry the exact date of the wheel mounted.
