Indication And Use Of Wheel Balancer

DYN (Standard/Default) mode

Clean wheel, take off counterweights, check pressure of wheel. Choose the way of installation according to the type of wheel.

Main shaft-wheel—
suitable cone( small head towards inside)—quick handle nut

Main shaft-suitable cone(big head towards inside)
—wheel—quick handle nut

Attention May add a wheel, and hold the wheel to help install the thread hub. When installing or taking off wheel, do not let wheel move on the shaft, to avoid scratching shaft.

Turn on machine

Input a b d value
Turn on machine, choose right way to install wheel according to the type of wheel. Set “a” “b” “d” values:

• set “a” value move the gauge to measuring position as illustrated as Fig.1, hold the gauge still in position for approx. 4 seconds, successful memorization is given, then return the gauge to position
  0.(The value measured in automatic mode appear on the display). Or press and to set manually.

• set “b” value set nominal diameter “b” marked on the wheel or use the width gauge to measure the value of ”b” as Fig.2, then press and .

• set “d” value this value measured in automatic mode same time as “a” value setting, or press and to set manually.
  

Put down the guard and press to perform a measuring spin.
In a few seconds the wheel is brought to operating speed and begin measuring unbalance, the unbalance values remain on instruments 1 and 3 when the wheel stopped. Press may check the real unbalance value under threshold.
Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, until the right LED lit up full, clip weight on 12 o’clock position (Fig.3)

Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, until the left LED lit up full, clip weight on 12 o’clock position(Fig.4)

After finishing cliping the counterweights, put down the guard or press ，to perform balancing spin again, if comes out 00 00，means balancing succeed. (Fig.5)

ALU-1 mode (ALU-1, ALU2 same operation, only the position to add weights

different)

Set “a” “d” “b” values
Press until ALU1 indicator lit up
Put down the guard and press to perform a measuring spin.
In a few seconds the wheel is brought to operating speed and begin measuring unbalance, the unbalance values remain on instruments 1 and 3 when the wheel stopped. Press may check the real unbalance value under threshold.
Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, the displays with right LED’s lit up full indicate the correct angular position where to mount the counterweights, 12 o’clock position (9H=Off) or 9 o’clock (9H=On) position outside, asFig.6, add the counter weight.

Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, the displays with left LED’s lit up full indicate the correct angular position where to mount the counterweights, 12 o’clock position (9H=Off) or 9 o’clock (9H=On) position inside, as Fig.7, add the counter weight.

After finishing mounting the counterweights, put down the guard and press ，to perform balancing spin again, if comes out 00 00，means balancing succeed. (Fig.8)

ALU－S mode

This mode is used for special rim, if ALU1/ALU2 can not be used, you should choose ALUS mode.
Input aI, aE, d value

• Set “aI”: pull gauge out let the gauge head touch the position of FI for 4 seconds, may press and to change
• Set “aE”: pull gauge out let the gauge head touch the position of FE for 4 seconds ，may press and to change
• Set “d”: read from rim, press and to input
  

Put down the guard and press to perform a measuring spin.

12 o’clock position to add weight
Set SLC as OFF according to 8.1
Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, until the right LED lit up full, add weight on 12 o’clock position (Fig.10)

Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, until the left LED lit up full, add weight on 12 o’clock position (Fig.11)

After finishing mounting the counterweights, put down the guard and press ，to perform balancing spin again, if comes out 00 00，means balancing succeed.

Use gauge head to add weight
Set SLC as ON according to 8.1

Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, until the right LED lit up full (Fig.14)

Take off proper counterweight to be hold by the gauge head as Fig. 16

Pull out gauge until there is a square comes in the middle

Release the counterweight and let it stick on rim (Fig. 18)

Anticlockwise moving wheel slowly, until the left LED lit up full (Fig.19)

Take off proper counterweight to be hold by the gauge head as Fig. 16
Pull out gauge until there is a square comes in the middle window (Fig. 20)

Release the counterweight and let it stick on rim (Fig. 21)

Then turn down safe guard and press to start spin, comes Fig. 22 means the wheel
