LAUNCH X-831M Wheel Aligner Installation and Parts Manual
Precautions
Please read the User’s Manual and the Installation
and Parts Manual carefully before operating
X-831M Wheel Aligner.
Only the qualified technician can operate the
Wheel Aligner.
The operator must have knowledge of computer
application and basic theory of wheel alignment.
The power voltage of X-831M wheel aligner is of
AC220V±10% 50±1Hz / AC110V±10% 60±1Hz(It
can be customized according to the requirements
of customer). The 3-terminal socket must be used,
and the earth terminal must be well grounded. If
the power voltage is not stable, please purchase
and use AC voltage stabilizer.
Before installing the wheel aligner, the lift should
be installed at first according to the requirements.
Regularly check the lift for fastening and leveling,
ensuring the test accuracy and personnel safety;
Take away the roadblocks around the lift to prevent
influencing operation.
Don’t install X-831M on a vibrated object or an
oblique surface. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture.
Turn off the power after operation. Check all bolts
and parts after maintenance, and tighten the
slackened bolts and parts in turn for safety.
Since computer visual technology is used in
recognizing the targets mounted on the wheels
through the camera with high resolution, it is
necessary to keep X-831M wheel aligner away
from the outside infrared rays (e.g. sun-lights) from
directly lighting to the targets and reflecting to the
cameras. It is also necessary to avoid blocking the
light way from the targets to the cameras for a long
time during the instrument is working.
The targets of X-831M wheel aligner are the key
components for testing. Do not damage their
structures when using and storing. Keep the
surface of target clean. Please use the soft cloth
dipped with an appropriate amount of the neutral
detergent or the absolute alcohol to wipe the
surface of target lightly if there are some smuts on
it.
When using and storing, please pay much
attention to prevent water from entering into the
targets.
The wires inside the post and the lateral beam are
connected compactly. Don’t move them after first
installation.
The precision position calibration has been
performed for the cameras after first installation,
the user can not move or wobble the post or lateral
beam during or after using it.
Without approval of the supplier, please do not
disassemble the post and the lateral beam in order
to avoid damaging the components, influencing the
test accuracy and increasing the costs and
difficulties of maintenance and repair. For the
damage caused by unauthorized disassembling
will not be covered by the Warranty.
The fastening method should be selected correctly
and flexibly according to the actual conditions of
the rim, the turning force should be equal when
fastening, after fastening, please check the wheel
clamp again.
The force should be equal when using each knob,
please don’t fasten it too tight in order to avoid
damaging the locking mechanism or other parts.
After using, please cut off all power supply timely.
The cameras of X-831M wheel aligner are the key
optical components for testing. Do not impact them
when using, keep the surface of the camera lens
clean. Please use the lens paper to wipe the
surface of the camera lens lightly if there are some
smuts on it.

Wheel Aligner!
This installation manual is only suitable for the
installation of X-831M wheel aligner (post type)
manufactured by Launch, this type of wheel aligner
mainly includes two installation components: the post
assembly and the lateral assembly. For easy use and
measurement, the following four factors should be taken
into consideration during installation:
Horizontal distance from the center of the turntable
on the lift to the post;
Installation height of camera;
Distance between left and right camera;
Camera installation inclination degrees.
The operator must have knowledge of computer
application and basic theory of wheel alignment.
The post height of the wheel aligner is 2653mm, and the
working height of the lift is between 0~1800mm. Correct
installation is very important to the alignment
performance and the types of the vehicle that can be
aligned, please do read this manual carefully.
X-831M wheel aligner is a precise computer system that
needs AC220V±10% 50±1Hz / AC110V±10% 60±1Hz
power supply. Good ground helps to protect the
equipments and persons. If power supply cable needs to
be lengthened, its load must not be less than 220V 8A.
So in order to protect electronic products such as
X-831M Wheel Aligner, it is advisable to use AC power
supply voltage stabilizer.
Note:
Installation engineer must confirm that power
supply satisfies the above-mentioned requirements
before switching the wheel aligner on.
Precautions before Installation
Spot Inspection Item Table before Installation must be
provided by business personnel before installation. It is
convenient for installation engineer to learn beforehand
if the spot satisfies the use requirements of the wheel
aligner and then select suitable installation position.
