The red LED indicates that the sensor has powered up.
Once communication between the sensors has been established, the green LED (3, fig. 25) will
start to flash.
To switch off the sensors, press the "Power" key again.
The sensors can also be powered down automatically ("auto switch-off") by a special software
procedure in the following cases:
- if the equipment has been inactive for about five minutes, with no communications between
sensors and central unit and no sensor key pressed.
- if the equipment has been inactive for about ten minutes, with no angles recorded and/or no
sensor or central unit key pressed.
when the battery power level falls below the minimum value required for operation.

Note
Each sensor head is powered by a NiMH rechargeable battery.
To recharge the batteries, have to put the sensors in the battery charger placed on the cabinet.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability arising from the use of non-original batteries and
battery chargers.
Run-down process
For maximum durability and optimum operation, the NiMH type batteries used in the wheel
balancer sensor heads must be periodically run-down.
The run-down process consists in draining all four batteries completely with a constant
absorption current, and then recharging them.
We recommend running down the batteries every 15 - 30 days, depending on the number of
recharge cycles performed (the more frequently the batteries are charged, the more frequently
the run-down procedure is necessary). To run down the batteries, leave the sensor heads on (from
the sensor head test screen) until the batteries are fully drained.
Note:
Rechargeable NiMh AA penlight batteries are used. When fully charged, new batteries with will
ensure 8 hours of continuous operation.
The equipment's simple interface makes operation quick and easy to learn. The operating
procedures are generally standardised throughout the program, as summarised below.
The functions available in each program context are shown as special icons on a bar at the
bottom of the screen.
To select a specific function, press the key (from F1 to F10) indicated on the icon in question.
To facilitate and simplify the use of the machine, each key is generally associated with the same
type of command in the various program contexts.
In particular:
- F1 invokes the on-line "Help".
- F2 equivalent to "Esc", returns to the previous window (except in the starting screen
where a password must be entered to shut down the program and switch control to
Windows
- F3 equivalent to "Enter", advances to the next window.
