The safety test lane Eurosystem uses modular design. It is easily expandable and has the following function groups as standard equipment: side-slip tester, shock absorber tester, roller brake tester. In addition all kinds of MAHA test equipment can be connected. Test equipment from other manufacturers can be integrated in some instances.
Eurosystem / Profi-LON Description Installation The test lane may only be installed and commissioned by MAHA service technicians or by authorized service partners. MAHA regulations and instructions for installation and expansion of the test lane must be complied with. The manufacturer’s CE Conformity Certification becomes void when installation is done by unqualified technicians.

Description Eurosystem / Profi-LON 1.7.3 Brake Tester Consists of the roller set, model IW 2, and the control module. Single Wheel Program (Optional) Profi-LON: Use this switch to select single wheel test (Left or Right). i.e. only the left or the right-hand roller set is on. Position “0“ means standard. i.e. both rollers start as soon as the test stand is occupied and both sensor rollers are pressed.
Page 13
Eurosystem / Profi-LON Description 1.7.3.1 Measurement Principle The motor-driven test stand rollers transmit the rotation to the tires of the test vehicle axle. Using the vehicle brakes the tires are braked until the pre-defined slip between vehicle tires and test stand roller is reached. The brake force applied to do this is measured. 1.7.3.2 Technical Data IW 2...
Description Eurosystem / Profi-LON Remote Control (Option) The test lane can be equipped with a remote control. When using a remote control differentiate between test lanes with or without PC’s. The test lane Profi-LON with a multi-function display (without PC) requires a remote control to store the measurement values.
Eurosystem / Profi-LON Description Pedal Force Meter (Optional) The pedal force meter must be connected to the remote control IFB3 to measure the pedal force. Then it is simply attached to the shoe or the brake pedal. Once the pedal is pushed down the pedal force meter automatically measures the applied force and transmits it to the test stand.
Injury to persons incurred due to non-compliance with these operating instructions are not covered by the product liability regulations. MAHA is not liable for damage to the test lane and/or vehicles incurred due to non-compliance with these operating instructions. Warning means that instructions that are not complied with or incompletely complied...
No vehicle with a rigid 4-wheel drive may be tested on the brake tester with a standard roller set. This can lead to damage to both vehicle and test lane. Please ask your MAHA service representative for more information.
