…and connect it following on the middle connection of the machine. 7. Activate the width measuring gauge To get access to the settings you must use the shown procedure. 1. At first push the C-Button after this push additionally the T- Button 2.
SETTING AND CALIBRATION System setting By means of the system setting the basic settings can be determined. Display of unbalance g / Oz Automatic start when closing the protective bow on / Out Calibration of automatic measuring device (2D) Calibration of second automatic measuring device (Optionally 3D) Calibration program HID program ®...
Calibration of piezo transducer The machine MUST BE calibrated after the fixing and minimum before the season or after a longer standstill. Clamp an already balanced wheel (14” or 15“) and input the parameters (see Utilization, item 4). For getting into the calibration system you must press the adjacent key combination: 1.
Page 24
4. Place the measuring gauge on the position “100mm” 5. Press the button ALU 6. In the display appears [CAL] – [215] 7. Place the measuring gauge on the position “215mm”. Hereby you must take the head of the measuring gauge on the bowl of the balancing shaft.

Safety instructions Only skilled persons can operate the machine. If the operator makes unauthorized alterations and/or changes on the machine the CE verification is invalidated and ATH-Heinl is excluded from liability for damages resulting from such alterations and/or changes. Safety devices are not allowed to be removed or to be taken out of operation Only use the machine according to its intended and specified use.
Utilization 1. Self-diagnostic After switching-on the machine makes a self- diagnostic and changes then automatically into the mode „Dynamic” 2. Mounting the wheel Choose a suitable cone to centre the wheel on the balancing adaptor. As shown below there are 2 simple possibilities to clamp the wheel. a.
Page 29
3. Choose of balancing mode Dynamic – Mode (Standard): This function determines the radial and lateral runout of a light alloy or steel rim. The balancing weights will be placed on the outer and inner side of the clamped wheel. Static –...

Starting balancing process Starting of the balancing process by pressing the button START or closing the protection bow. Turn the wheel until all diodes in the display illuminate. Now the weight must be placed on the wheel. The machine offers you the following help for the exact positioning: Internal External...
Page 33
After this appears in the display SPO – -1-. Turn now the wheel until the left spoke are at the position 12 o´clock. Confirm now this position with ALU. After this appears in the display SPO – -2- . Turn now the wheel until the right spoke are at the position 12 o´clock.
Page 34
Turn the wheel further until all diodes illuminate again for the outer position for localizing the second value, in doing so the corresponding value will be displayed. Now place the weight on the measuring gauge and put it by means of it on the rim. b) Optimization With this OPT function it is possible, to minimize the static unbalance of the wheel.
Page 35
Following the wheel can be clamped again on the wheel balancer, in doing so pay attention to the marking on the clamping cup. Starting of the balancing process by pressing the button START or closing the protection bow. After this you will see the possible optimization. After this turn the wheel on the machine until the displays show the attached figure.
MAINTENANCE Reparation works are only allowed to be done by authorized service partners or, after consulting ATH, by the customer. Before maintenance and reparation works the machine must be switched off from the power supply. (Main switch off, disconnect plug). There must be taken measures against switching on. Works on the electrical parts respectively the supply lines are only allowed to be done by skilled personal/technicians.
Troubleshooting Errors Reason Remedy Wheel balancer is not correct Check anchoring fixed on the floor Wrong calibration Make calibration newly Balancing shaft not fix Check fixation of balancing shaft Different balancing results Shaft deformed Check balancing shaft Piezo transducer not fix Check fixation of piezo respectively defect transducer or exchange...
Maintenance and service instructions Adjustment of drive belt tension 1. Take off carefully the cover (weights rack). 2. Loosen the fixing screws of the motor. 3. Slide the motor with the clamping screw, thus pay attention to the correct belt tension. 4.
