EQ 2100
Selecting this wheel type however does not allow the balancing of wheels for trucks because they have
rims that are significantly different.
The choice of the CAR or SUV Wheel Type is at the discretion of the operator who should run balancing
tests to determine which Wheel Type gives the best results for the particular wheel that is subject to
balancing.
To select the SUV wheel type, press repeatedly [P6] until the SUV LED of the Wheel Type group LED
lights up.
All Programme Types listed in table T3.2 are available for the SUV Wheel Type. Weight positions along
the section of the rim are the same as indicated in Figure F3.
Entering wheel dimensions
The dimensions of the wheel to balance can be entered in two ways:
• Manual Mode. This mode is always available.
• Automatic Mode. Only some models are equipped with sensors for the automatic entering (partial or
total) of wheel dimensions.
Note: all machines are equipped with graduated scales for manual measuring of the distance.

3. Read the distance value on the graduated scale as shown in figure F3.3. The distance value is always
expressed in millimetres;
4. Press [P1] to modify the distance and then press [P4] or [P5] within 1.5 seconds to enter the read value.
If you do not press buttons [P4] or [P5] within this time limit, the machine will return to the previous

5. Measure the width of the wheel with the special gauge or read the value of the width indicated on the
rim. The value of the width can be in inches or millimetres according to the selected unit of measure.
6. Press [P2] to modify the width and press [P4] or [P5] within 1.5 seconds to enter the read value. If
either one of these two buttons is not pressed within in this time frame, the machine will return to the
previous screen. In this case, you can press [P2] again to enter or edit data;
7. Read the value of the diameter indicated on the rim or tyre. The value of the diameter may be expressed
in inches or millimetres according to the selected unit of measure.
8. Press [P3] to modify the diameter value and then press [P4] or [P5] within 1.5 seconds to enter the
