Wheel data entry for wheel
balancers with an ultrasonic
sensor (if present)
To enter the distance, diameter and width values
automatically, proceed as follows:
- bring the automatic internal measuring arm into
contact with the inner side of the rim (fig.16)
During this phase, the graphic shown in figure
16a will appear on the display.
Take great care to position the arm correctly so
as to ensure accurate data reading.
- Keep the arm in contact with the rim until the
machine has acquired the wheel's diameter and
distance values. During this phase, the graphic
shown in figure 16b will appear on the display.
- if only one measurement is taken, the machine
interprets the presence of a rim with balanc-
ing using a clip weight (Dynamic Balancing
Programme)
- when the automatic internal measurement arm
returns to the rest position, "Lr" will appear
automatically on the left display and the type
of wheel will be shown on the right display:
- P (Passenger Tyre) for medium sized wheels
(wheels with a tyre shoulder that does not
protrude much from the rim);
- Lt (Light Truck Tyre) for large sized wheels
(such as off-road, trucks or wheels with a tyre
shoulder that protrudes considerably from
the rim).
- use the arrow buttons
the type of wheel being used
- If you press the
indicated above, the width can be entered
manually using the keypad.
- in this phase, it is possible to perform a new
acquisition of the rim planes.
- lowering the guard confirms the selection that
was made (manual width entry or wheel type
selection) and a spin is performed and the
wheel width is automatically measured.
Note:
- automatic width acquisition is re-enabled only
with a new acquisition of the automatic internal
measuring arm;
- if the wheel guard is closed or in the case of a
fault of the sensor located on the guard, the
machine will automatic setup for manual width
entry when the internal measuring arm is moved

to the rest position.
As a geometric value is displayed, the corre-
sponding indicator on the LCD display lights up.
- Check the values measured and then return
the arm to the rest position.
- If an incorrect value has been acquired during
the measurement phase, move the arms to the
rest position and then repeat the operation.
Manual wheel data entry
In the event of failure of the automatic measur-
ing system, all geometric data can be entered
using the keypad:
- Press the button
- Measure the width of the rim using the calliper
provided (fig.17);
- Modify the displayed width value by pressing
the
button to increase or de-
crease the value until the desired number is
obtained. The width can be set in millimetres
or the values already set can be converted from
inches to millimetres by pressing the
button;
- Press the
button to confirm the previous
value and set the machine for diameter data
entry;
- Read the rated rim diameter value on the tyre;
- Modify the displayed diameter value by
pressing the
the read number is set. The diameter can be
set in millimetres or the values already set
can be converted from inches to millimetres
by pressing the
- Press the
button to confirm the previ-
ous value and set the machine for distance data
entry;
- Measure the distance between the body and
the inner side of the rim with a tape measure.
- Modify the displayed distance value by press-
ing the
