POSITION INDICATORS
AND ALARM INDICATOR
LIGHTS
The wheel balancer has two round indicators for
the positioning of unbalances.
Each indicator has a button for changing the
unbalance unit of measurement from grams to
ounces and vice versa.
By selecting the central part of the indicator, an
automatic centred position search starts if the
unbalance is higher than zero.
At the end of the dimension and unbalance
measurement cycle, warning indicators may
come on if the set acceptable tolerances are
exceeded (see the "Wheel balancer parameter
configuration" section):

WARNING OPT
This recommends performing the unbalance
optimisation procedure. Select the icon to
start the unbalance optimisation procedure
(see the "Unbalance Optimisation pro-
gramme" section).
2.
WARNING ROD
This recommends performing the RUNOUT
analysis procedure. Select the icon to display
the radial runout measurement of the wheel
assembly when the icon is selected, the radial
run-out measured for the wheel assembly is
displayed if a wheel assembly is mounted,
or the radial run-out at the seats of the tyre
bead if a rim only is mounted (see the "Runout
programme" section).

PROGRAMME CHANGE
This icon is activated when the operator
changes the machine's balancing programme.
Press the icon to confirm the selected bal-
ancing programme. After this operation, the
machine may request confirmation of the
acquired dimensions; in this case, proceed as
described in the "wheel spin and automatic
dimension measurement" section.
The working environment has different spin
types that the operator can select based on his
requirements, i.e.:
•
detection
acquisition of the complete wheel
and rim
•
detection
acquisition of the complete wheel
and rim as well as lateral run-out of
the wheel and rim
By checking this FLAG, the machine cycle time
increases as data regarding the geometry of
the wheel and rim being examined is acquired.
