- The balancing machine should not be used for purposes other than those described in the instruction manual.
- Under no way should the balancing machine be modied except for those modications made explicitly by the manufacturer.
- Never remove the safety devices. Any work on the machine should only be carried out by duly authorized specialist personnel.
- Do not use strong jets of compressed air for cleaning.
- Use alcohol to clean plastic panels or shelves (AVOID LIQUIDS CONTAINING SOLVENTS).
- Before starting the wheel balancing cycle, make sure that the wheel is securely locked on the adapter.
- The machine operator should not wear clothes with apping edges. Make sure that unauthorized personnel do not approach the balancing machine during the work cycle.
- Avoid placing counterweights or other objects in the base which could impair the correct operation of the balancing machine.
1.1.1 - Standard safety devices
- STOP push button for stopping the wheel under emergency conditions.
- The safety guard of high impact plastic is with shape and size designed to prevent risk of counterweights from ying out in any direction except towards the oor.
- A microswitch prevents starting the machine if the guard is not lowered and stops the wheel whenever the guard is raised.
1.2 - Field of application
The machine is designed for balancing car or motorcycle wheels weighing less than 75 kg. It can be operated within a temperature range of 0° to + 45°C. It can measure the geometric radial run-out of the wheels (optional).

3.1 - Anchoring
The machine can be operated on any at non-resilient oor. Make sure that the machine rests solely on the three support points provided (g.3). It is advisable to secure the system to the ground using the specic feet (see Figure 3) in the event of continual use with wheels weighing over 35 Kg.
3.2 - Electrical connection
The machine is supplied with a single phase mains cable plus earth (ground). The supply voltage (and mains frequency) is given on the machine nameplate. It may NOT be changed. Connection to the mains should always be made by expert personnel. The machine should not be started up without proper earth (ground) connection. Connection to the mains should be through a slow acting safety switch rated at 4A (230V) or 10A (115V) .
3.3 - Adapter mounting
The balancing machine is supplied complete with cone adapter for fastening wheels with central bore. Other optional adapters can be mounted:
a) Back-off screw B and remove threaded end-piece A. b) Fit the new adapter.
4
3.4 - Guard mounting and adjustment
a) Fasten the components to the base as illustrated in specic exploded view. b) The position of the wheel guard when closed can be adjusted with relative screw accessible at the back. Correct position is the one which keeps the tube exactly horizontal with wheel guard closed. c) Check that the microswitch is held down when the guard is closed. d) Adjust the angular position of microswitch control.
3.5 - Spacer WD
5
When balancing very wide wheels (9”), there is not enough space to turn the distance gauge. To withdraw the wheel from the machine side, t spacer WD on the adapter body and secure it with the standard issue nuts. When centring the wheel with the cone on the inside, t the DC spacer to obtain spring thrust.

4.1 - Brake pedal
This pedal allows the operator to hold the wheel when tting the counterweights. It must not be actuated during the measuring cycle.
6
4.2 - Automatic distance and diameter gauge
This gauge allows measurement of the distance of the wheel from the machine and the wheel diameter at the point of application of the counterweight. It also allows correct positioning of the counterweights on the inside by using the specic function (see INDICATION
OF EXACT CORRECTION WEIGHT POSITION) which allows reading, on the monitor, the position used for the measure-
ment within the rim (For calibration, see GAUGE CALIBRATION). The gauge can only be used with the counterweight pincers mounted.
4.3 - Automatic width gauge (optional)
Width gauging is through a SONAR device which measures the distance of the wheel without mechanical contact, merely by closing the guard and each time a valid measurement has been made with gauge DISTANCE AND DIAME-
TER GAUGE.
4.4 - Automatic wheel positioning
At the end of the spin, the wheel is positioned according to the unbalance on the outside or else according to the static unbalance (when selected). Accuracy is +/-20 degrees.

This program is designed to improve the quality of balan­cing without any mental effort or loss of time by the ope­rator. In fact by using the normal commercially available weights, with pitch of 5 in every 5 g, and by applying the two counterweights which a conventional wheel balancer rounds to the nearest value, there could be a residual static unbalance of up to 4 g. The damage of such appro­ximation is emphasized by the fact that static unbalance is cause of most of distur-bances on the vehicle. This new function, resident in the machine, automatically indicates the optimum entity of the weights to be applied by appro­ximating them in an “intelligent” way according to their position in order to minimize residual static unbalance.

5.6 - Eccentricity measurement (optional)
The much enlarged gures show the outer tyre surface and axis of wheel rotation.
Fig. A shows measurement of the total Peak-to-Peak eccentricity dened as maximum radial deviation of the tyre surface.
Fig. B shows measurement of the eccentricity of the 1st harmonic, i.e. the eccentricity of that circle which “recopies” the tyre shape, by averaging the local deviations of the tyre from the round shape.
Obviously the P.P. measurement is normally greater than that of the 1st harmonic. Tyre manufacturers normally supply two different tolerances for the two eccentricities.
At the end of the balancing spin it is possible to automatically measure the eccentricity of the tyre through the SONAR sensor installed on the guard. The sensor should be positioned by hand in front of the tyre tread.

6.1 - Language
This function allows selecting the language to be used for displaying descriptive and diagnostic messages regarding machine operation.
6.2 - Unit of unbalance measurement
It is possible to select whether to display the unbalance values expressed in grams or ounces .
6.3 - Unbalance display threshold
This consists of the unbalance threshold below which the wording “-OK-” appears on the screen at the end of the spin instead of the unbalance; the presettable values vary according to the unit of measurement selected.
6.4 - Unbalance display pitch
This represents the display pitch of the unbalance and varies according to the unit of measurement selected. The selection “5 g” (1/4 oz) enables display of the correction values on both sides such as to bring the static unbalance to 0 (theoretical). It is recommended to preset this function as standard use of the machine as it improves the balancing quality. The computer makes a complex calculation which allows cancelling the residual static unbalance by varying the value and position of the counterweights xed in steps of 5 grams (1/4 oz).
6.5 - Spin with guard closed
When “ON” is selected the automatic start of the spin is enabled when the guard is closed.
6.6 - Screen-saver time
When the machine remains unused for longer than the time preset with this function, the processor automatically returns to the Initial screen. Preset the time in seconds.
6.7 - Visual eccentricity check
At the end of wheel acceleration, as soon as the motor is disengaged, the guard can be opened for visual control of any wheel eccentricity as the rotation speed gradually drops. Do not strike the wheel during the entire deceleration stage; to brake the wheel, close the guard. However, avoid using the brake as far as possible because this may compromise unbalance measurements. The unbalance values measured are only displayed when the wheel has come to a standstill. This function is active for only one machine run.
6.8 - Acoustic signal
When “ON” is selected. the sending of an acoustic signal (beep)) is enabled in the following cases:
- when any push button is pressed;
- when dimensions are acquired in automatic mode;
- when the correct angular position for weight application is reached in the Measurement screen;
- when the correct angular position for weight application is reached in the Position Repeater screen.

The machine can be customized by presetting: a) The name appearing on the Initial screen (screen-save). b) The name of 4 different machine users ( USER NAME). An “ideal” keyboard appears on the monitor with the set of characters available for composition of the wordings. The Customer’s name consists of three lines, each max. 30 characters. The USER NAME consists of a wording max. 15 characters.
7.3 - Enabling of eccentricity measurement (option)
Enables/disables measurement of the tyre eccentricity during an unbalance measurement spin.
7.4 - Calibrations
When
7.4.1- Gauge calibration
Select the gauge to be calibrated and follow the instructions appearing on the monitor.
N.B.:
- In the width SONAR calibration it is necessary to enter one dimension which can be measured as follows:
A - GAUGE “ZERO” DISTANCE SONAR “ZERO” DISTANCE
7.4.2 - Wheel balancer calibration
For calibration of the machine, proceed as follows:
- Use a medium-sized wheel with steel rim. Example: 6” x 14” (± 1”)
- Preset the wheel dimensions with GREAT CARE.
- Follow the instructions appearing on the monitor.

7.4.4.1 - To check the encoder
When the spindle is rotated:
- the angular position “POS” should vary from 0 to 128;
- the wording “UP” should appear when rotated clockwise and “DOWN” when rotated in the opposite direction.

Check for correct ope­ration of the distance gauge; the number increases when the gauge is pulled out.
operation of the diame­ter gauge; the number increases when the gauge is rotated outwards
Check of the eccen­tricity sonar (option): the number decrea­ses when a surface is approached to the sonar.
Check of the width sonar (option): the number decreases when a sur­face is approached to the sonar.
In the event of failure or faulty operation of the wheel balancing machine, notify the Technical Service of all the para­meters displayed.
7.5 - Control of serial output RS232C (option)
This option enables/disables the sending of the measured unbalance and phase values to serial output RS232C.
Transmission speed = 9600 baud Data format = 7 bit Start 7 bit Data 1 bit Even parity 1 bit Stop
At the end of each unbalancing measuring spin, the balancing machine enables the RTS signal, then places the “$” character on standby to be able to transmit the data; all functions remain on hold until data transmission is enabled, at the end of which the RTS signal is reset to the inactive state. The items of data transmitted via serial line are in ASCII format and are separated between each other by the <cr> character (0x0d).
Sending sequence is as follows:
- 0000 <cr>
- Value of correction weight, left side <cr>
- Correction phase, left side <cr>
- Value of correction weight, right side <cr>
- Correction phase, right side <cr>
The rst 5 zero bytes represents the start of transmission message. The correction values are expressed in grams, in steps of .1 gram. The phase values are expressed in degrees, in the range 0% 359.
