product is scrapped.
We also urge you to adopt other environment-
friendly practices: recycle the internal and ex-
ternal packaging which comes with the product
and dispose of spent batteries (if the product
has them) properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of
natural resources used to produce electrical
and electronic equipment, minimise the use
of landfills to dispose of old products, and im-
prove quality of life by preventing the discharge
of potentially hazardous substances into the
environment.

GLOSSARY

Calibrator
Precision device on which the measuring sen-
sors are fitted for calibration; this instrument is
constructed to very high precision standards and
must be stored with great care.
Calibration eliminates any shifts in transducer
position due to small knocks or temperature
variations.
CCD (Charge Coupled Device)
Special type of sensor used in TV cameras; has
excellent light sensitivity.
Characteristic angles
This term refers to all the angles that can be nor-
mally measured on a wheel aligner (total front/
rear toe, left/right and front/rear half toe values,
left/right and front/rear camber, left/right caster,
left/right king-pin angle, and steering angle dif-
ference at 20°).
Clamp
Adapter between the wheel and the measuring
sensor.
Equatorial plane
Ideal vertical plane that divides the wheel into
two equal parts.
Head
Synonym of "sensor"
Inclinometers
Electronic devices that measure their angle of
inclination with respect to the vertical; they are
used to measure camber.
Infrared rays (IR)
Electromagnetic waves that are invisible to the
naked eye.
Longitudinal goniometer
CCD sensor that measures the angles using the
infrared ray that is parallel to the symmetry axis of
the vehicle; goniometers that measure the angles
between the front and rear parts of the vehicle.
Oscillating footboard
The function is similar to that of the rotating
platform, but it is used for the non-steered
wheels only.
Rotating platform
Base equipped with a disk on which the steered
wheels of a vehicle rest; it is used to reduce fric-
tion between the wheel and the ground, in order
to favour the settling of the suspensions and
cancel the measuring errors during the steering.
It is highly important to keep the area between
