Dual-Plane Self-Calibration Procedure
The Dual-Plane Self-Calibration Procedure ensures the Balancer is producing accurate readings by
aligning the software with the existing spindle positions and hardware on the Balancer.
Note: The Balancer comes from the factory calibrated. You do not need to perform this calibration
when you receive the Balancer. You only need to perform this calibration if you are seeing
multiple incorrect Wheel balances.
Before performing the Dual-Plane Self-Calibration Procedure, ma ke sure the Balancer is anchored
down and/or rigid to the floor and that the shaft and centering cones are clean and undamaged. Dirt or
damaged components can cause inaccurate readings.

To perform the Dual-Plane Self-Calibration Procedure:
Front Cone Mount the Wheel securely on the Balancer Shaft using the Quick Nut. As shown
above.
Program the correct Distance, Width, and Diameter values into the Balancer using the Inner Arm
and the Outer Arm or enter them manually.
Balance the Wheel until 00 displays in the Inner and Outer Display Windows.
Press and hold the C and D buttons on the Control Panel until the Inner and Outer Placement
Indicators stop flashing and CAL CAL appears in the Display Windows.
Lower the Hood, then press Start to begin the Calibration procedure. If the Auto-Hood function is
enabled the Wheel will automatically spin when the Hood is lowered.
The Wheel spins briefly, then stops.
Add 100 appears in the Display (Add 3.5 if ounces is selected).
DST-64T / DST642D Wheel Balancers
A clean, undamaged 15 to18-inch Steel Wheel is required for this procedure.
Do not use an Aluminum Wheel to calibrate the Balancer, unless that Wheel has a lip
on the inner and outer Edges that will allow the 100 g clip-on calibration weight to be
hammered onto the Wheel.
Remove any accessories such as the Truck Spacer Ring, Inner Cone, Mounting
Spring and Quick Nut Cup from the Balancer Shaft.
Do not use a Trailer Wheel to perform this calibration. Trailer Wheels are too narrow,
and will provide poor results.
If a Tire is mounted on
the Wheel, verify that
the wheel is inflated to
the correct pressure, is
clean and in good
condition.
Pay close attention to
this procedure. If not
done correctly, the
Balancer will not
produce accurate
readings, leading to out
of balance Wheels.
