The program allows total wheel unbalance to be reduced by compensating, when possible, tyre and rim unbalance
values. It requires two spins, rotating the tyre on the rim on the second spin.
At the end of the procedure, mark the rim and tyre positions indicated by the machine with a piece of chalk and remount both so that they coincide.

This function allows balancing the four wheels of a vehicle, plus the spare wheel if necessary, and obtaining information
on how to mount them in order to reduce to a minimum the vibrations due to the residual eccentricity of each wheel.
The TYRE SET function can be enabled or disabled from the MENU; to best use this function, proceed as follows:
1. Prepare adhesive symbols to identify the wheels.
2. Mount the first wheel, measure the dimensions, balance it and identify it with the number 1.
3. Dismount the wheel and mount the next one, close the guard and balance the wheel without acquiring the
dimensions again.
4. Repeat step 3 for the remaining 3 wheels, plus any spare wheel, each time identifying the wheel with a progressive
number from 2 to 5.
5. Each time the spindle is opened, the wheel balancing machine indicates the best way to mount the wheels balanced
up to that point. On the left-hand side of the screen, a stylized vehicle is displayed with the four tyres plus the
spare wheel; at each spin, the number of the wheel to be mounted in each position is indicated on each of them
(right/left front/rear axle).
6. The procedure can be reset by measuring the dimensions like for a new wheel. If the spindle is incorrectly opened,
the balancing sequence is interrupted and consequently the end result will be incorrect.

6.15.1 Runout
6.15.1.1 When and why TO USE MATCHING
The software associated with the eccentricity measurement is a powerful tool to determine the need to perform
the relative rotation between the wheel and the rim in
order to reduce the eccentricity to within acceptable limits. The criterion used is based on the fact that a rim with
acceptable tolerance, mounted with acceptable tyre, can
statistically generate an unacceptable total eccentricity
that can be improved by matching.
ER 100 is capable of automatically measuring the eccentricity of both the tyre and the rim from the inside.
The latter measurement generally corresponds to the rim
eccentricity in the tyre fitting area.

BPC (Best Possible Correction) Provides the best possible solution for reduction of vibrations noticeable in the
vehicle.
Many elements affect the vibration perceived in the vehicle due to wheel unbalances:
▪ Residual static unbalance
▪ Residual dynamic (or torque) unbalance
▪ Wheel weight (the heavier the wheel, the less the unbalance will make it vibrate)
▪ Wheel diameter (on which the application radiuses of the counterweights depend)
Comparison between conventional balancing and the BPC method
CONVENTIONAL BALANCING:
▪ Given a set tolerance of 5g, a wheel is considered balanced also with a residual unbalance of 4.9g per plane in
approximately the same angular position. This means that a static unbalance of 9.8 grams is tolerated, even
though the static unbalance is deemed the main cause of vibrations noticeable by the driver.
▪ The balancing tolerance for all wheel types, not taking any unbalance of 10g into account, produces different
vibrations on a 13” or a 22" wheel. The residual vibrations are inversely proportional to the wheel weight.
▪ The angular position of the residual unbalances is not taken into account.
BALANCING USING THE BPC METHOD:
▪ With this method, the balancing tolerance value is reprocessed based on the wheel dimensions and the permissible
residual static and torque unbalances, which are numerically different (greater torque unbalance than static
unbalance is permitted).
▪ The tolerance no longer refers to the correction planes but is UNIQUE and indicates the residual vibration limit
value permissible on the wheel.
▪ An indicator on the screen provides information on the residual vibration obtained after balancing with respect
to the maximum tolerable vibration.
▪ Bymeans of complex mathematical calculations, it indicates how many and where correction weights should be
added for the best possible reduction of the vibrations noticeable by the driver. This means that the customer
receives the best possible service.
ENGLISH
No alternative method can be more accurate, using moderate weights with steps of 5g.
The machine also measures by HOW MUCH the “noticeable vibration” in the vehicle has been reduced with respect to the
conventional method, indicating the percentage reduction, i.e. by how much it has improved with respect to conventional
machines.
Less vibration, more satised customers!

Correctly set the length of the correction weights in order to improve the balancing quality.
Default parameter setting: Resets the default machine settings.
The zinc weights used for balancing generally become very long as the weight increases; in this condition the
weight can no longer be considered concentrated at the barycentre and the effect, for example, is a weight of
only 47 instead of 50 grams.
Correctly setting the length of the correction weights allows the wheel balancing machine to automatically compensate for the fact that all the weight cannot be applied at one point.

10.1.1 Introductory notes
This machine has been designed so as not to require routine maintenance, apart from accurate periodic cleaning.
It is important to keep the machine perfectly clean in order to prevent dust or impurities from compromising the
operation of the balancer.
Specialist staff must be authorised and especially trained
concerning the dangers that may arise during operation
and the correct methods for avoiding them.
They must always work with great care and pay full attention.
If, exceptionally, the staff removes the guards to carry out
a particular specialist technical maintenance, inspection
or repair job, they are required to put them back after
work.
After work, staff must make sure that foreign objects, in
particular mechanical pieces, tools or devices used during the operative procedure that could cause damage or
malfunctions are not left inside the balancer.
For safety, before starting work, maintenance, inspection
and repair staff must disconnect all power sources and
take all the necessary preventive safety measures.
As well as operating frequencies, the operations described
below indicate the qualifications that staff must possess
in order to perform the operation.

As extraordinary maintenance must be performed by service
staff or, in any case, by specifically authorised and trained
people, is not dealt with in this manual.
10.1.2 Safety rules
Performing specialist activities on the equipment, particularly if the guards need to be dismounted, exposes people
to serious danger due to the presence of potentially live
parts.
The rules shown below must be scrupulously followed.
People must always use the Personal Protective Equipment indicated in the Installation Manual. During activities, unauthorised people may not access the equipment
and WORK IN PROGRESS signs will be erected in the
department in such a way that they are visible from every
place of access.
Some protection fuses are located on the power board
(see wiring diagrams) accessible by dismantling the weight
shelf). If fuses require replacement, use ones with an
identical current intensity.
10.1.4 Periodic cleaning

11.1 DISPOSING OF THE BALANCER
The balancer must be disposed of after dismounting the
various parts.
For disposal operations, as well as wearing the Personal
Protective Equipment indicated in the INSTALLATION
MANUAL, refer to the instructions and diagrams in this
manual. If necessary, request specific information from
the manufacturer.
Once you have removed the various parts and components,
separate them into the different types of materials according
to the differentiated waste disposal regulations in force in
the country where the machine is dismantled.
12. Spare parts
ENGLISH
12.1 IDENTIFICATION AND ORDERING
METHOD
The various parts can be identified using the explodeddrawings, the electrical drawings and diagrams in the machine
technical file which is archived by the Manufacturer to
which a request can be made.
For off-the-shelf parts, the technical manuals or the supplier’s original documents can be provided if the Manufacturer deems this to be useful.
If not supplied, this documentation is also included in the
machine Technical File, archived by the Manufacturer, as
regards by Ministerial Decree 98/37/EC.
In this case, contact the Technical Service to identify the
required piece.
If the required pieces are not in any position or they cannot be identified, contact the Technical Service, specifying the type of machine, its serial number and year of
construction.
This information is indicated on the machine identification plate.
If the various components must be stored before being
taken to the dump, make sure to keep them in a safe place
protected from atmospheric agents in order to prevent them
from contaminating the ground and the water table.
