Measurement Screen in Motorcycle Mode The measured value display in motorcycle mode is reduced to a single dial gauge. It is always located on the left of the user interface, regardless of the test stand side selected. The functions correspond to those in the semi- automatic car mode.
Page 17
Measurement Screen in Quad Mode The measured value display in quad mode corresponds to that in car mode, only the measurement range is dimensioned smaller by default. Burger Menu Functions In the left column, it is possible to select between the functions for the different test devices (depending on the configuration of the test stand): Brake tester Shock absorber tester (optional)

3.9.2 General/Network The "Network MAHA (X13)" is permanently configured and cannot be changed! (Ethernet interface X13 on the central module) On the other hand, the "Customer network (X12)"can be customized according to the requirements.
Page 30
X13 MAHA The X13 MAHA interface is primarily used to connect a MAHA access point so that the test stand can be accessed via the access point's WiFi. The network interface at X13 MAHA tries to obtain IP addresses via DHCPv4/v6 for 30 seconds when the central module is started (or a cable is plugged in).
Page 31
X12 EXT interface then operates with static IP. Procedure for configuring the X12 EXT interface Connect a laptop or similar to the X13 MAHA socket of the central module via a network cable. The network interface of the laptop must be configured as a DHCP client.
Page 32
Call up the WebApp of the central module via a web browser. The central module can be reached either via the IP 192.168.201.1 or via the name of the ZM + .maha (in the delivery state this would be e.g. http://maha-mbt.maha).
Page 33
After successful login, the password can also be changed here. Offline activation If the test stand is not online, the user can log in using a software key ("maha- key"). This file must be downloaded to the end device beforehand and is available on the MAHA homepage in the support area under "Software/Connect...

Operation Safety Instructions WARNING • Observe the statutory accident prevention regulations. • Before the vehicle inspection, remove any foreign particles stuck in the tyre tread. • Drive the vehicle on/off/over the test stand with the vehicle slowly (walking speed) and centrally. •...
Page 35
Parking in the security area is not allowed. • The accessibility of the emergency stop switch and emergency stop pushbutton must be ensured. Safety Devices WARNING The safety devices (some of them optional) must be inspected regularly by an authorised service technician. Statutory requirements must be observed. The test stand must not be operated with defective safety devices! •...
Page 36
The yellow and black marker tape around the roller set and pit serves to cordon off the test stand and must be replaced if defective. Item no. 19 6014 (38 mm) / 19 6015 (50 mm). • Warning and information signs Warning and information signs are affixed to the test stand.
Page 37
Variant 2: Establishing a WiFi Connection If the test stand is to be controlled wirelessly, a WiFi router (e.g. TP-Link) can optionally be connected to the ZM (Ethernet X13 MAHA). This creates a separate WiFi for the brake tester and enables networking with corresponding accessories (e.g.
Page 38
• Connect WiFi router “TP-Link” with power sup- ply and switch on. • In the Network and Sharing Center, select WiFi router SSID “TP_LINK_xxxx” and establish a connection. • Enter the wireless password “PIN”. Mobile devices (Android or iOS) Info: On the bottom of the optionally available WiFi router there is a label on which the name is printed next to "SSID"...
Page 39
4.3.4 Variant 3: Integration of the Test stand into Company Network Alternatively, the ZM of the test stand can also be integrated into a company network. For this purpose, the Ethernet port X12 "EXT" can be configured analogue to a LAN interface of a PC, see section “General/Network”: This means that the brake tester can be reached within the network by connecting a computer via network cable to a usual network socket of this network.
