Tread Detection

Measurement methods and data display

Precautions:

• Avoid using the examiner in an environment exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light to avoid affecting the measurement accuracy.
• When using a examiner to detect tire tread, avoid projecting the examiner’s laser line on the secondary grooves. Refer to the figure below to demonstrate the correct and incorrect measurement methods.
• Some unconventional tires have complex tread patterns (Including but not limited to the types of tires shown in the figure below). After using the examiner for tread detection, users need to match the detection data with the grooves of the detection area one by one to eliminate invalid detection values.

1. The screen must be kept facing the outside of the vehicle when using the examiner, as shown in the following figure.
2. The measured values are displayed from inner to outer to show the values of each groove.

Operation Steps

1. Swipe the screen up or down to switch to the Scan Tire function module, and click the function module icon to enter the following prompt interface

2. Read the detection method prompted on the screen and click Enter to go to the tire tread detection interface.
   Note: Check the box before No more tips and click Enter to skip the prompt page and directly enter the detection interface the next time you click Scan Tire.

3. The system starts the detection from the left front wheel of the vehicle by default, but you can also manually select any tire for detection. After clicking on the tire icon, attach the magnetic head of the device to the tread of the corresponding tire, and press the measurement button on the device to start the detection. At this time, a scanning animation is displayed on the icon corresponding to the current tire, and a green laser is emitted in the laser window of the device.
   Note: The system defaults to 4-wheel detection mode. If you need to switch to the 6-wheel detection mode, you can click Check Settings on the main interface and modify the quantity of tires.

4. After completing the current tire detection, the scanning cursor automatically jumps to the next tire icon in a counterclockwise direction.

5. After all tire tests are completed in turn, the tire icon will identify the tire detection results in different colors.

Green Groove

| Indicates that the detected groove wear degree is within the normal range, its depth is greater than or equal to the safe value.

Yellow Groove

| Indicates that the detected groove wear degree is within the warning range, its depth is greater than the safe value but less than the normal value, it is recommended to replace the tire.

Red Groove

| Indicates that the detected groove is seriously worn, its depth is less than or equal to the dangerous value, and the tire needs to be replaced immediately.

Groove depth value

| Display the numerical value of each groove depth (2-5 grooves) of the tire.

Note: When performing 6-wheel mode detection, each tire only shows the minimum value of all groove depths..

If the detection fails, the following pop-up window will pop up on the screen. Please confirm that the magnetic head of the device fits the tread of the tire and press the measurement button again to measure again

After all tires are detected, swipe the screen to the left to view the current detection report.

Tire Tread Data

| Display the tire tread data for each tire, including each groove depth data. Green indicates normal depth, yellow indicates warning depth, and red indicates dangerous depth.
Stopping Distance| Predict the stopping distance of the detected vehicle under limited road conditions and vehicle speeds and compares it with the ideal stopping distance.
Tire wear| Display the wear status of currently detected vehicle wheels.
Maintenance & Repair Recommendat ions| Based on the current vehicle detection data, maintenance proposal will be given on whether tires need to be replaced and four-wheel alignment performed.

• Click Re-measure to return to the scan tire interface and start the next set of tire inspections.
• Click the Share button to generate a QR code, scan the QR code to share the detection report.
• Click Back to return to the main interface, please note that existing the measurement process will clear the current measurement data.
