To return to the dynamic imbalance display, press [F+P2] again. The LED next to the button will turn off.
Note: in some cases, static imbalance is forcibly set by the machine according to the current settings. For
example, if the MOTO Wheel Type programme is enabled and the width set is less than 4.5 inches, the
machine will auto- matically set the static imbalance display.
Electromagnetic clamping brake (available only on some machine models)
The electromagnetic clamping brake is useful to block the wheel in any position defined by the user and
to simplify some operations such as the application or removal of balancing weights.
If present, the electromagnetic clamping brake is also used in the automatic or manual stopping of the
wheel on imbalance positions described in chapter 8.5 SWI Wheel stop procedure on the positions of
imbalance.
To activate the electromagnetic clamping brake, press [P9]. To deactivate the electromagnetic clamping
brake, press [P9] again.
The electromagnetic clamping brake is deactivated automatically in the following cases:
• Every time a balancing launch is run;
• Every time a SWI procedure is performed (stop of the wheel on the imbalance positions) at low speed;
• After one minute of continuous activation (to avoid overheating of the brake itself ).
The electromagnetic clamping brake can be used manually only in NORMAL mode. It cannot be used in
the SERVICE mode.
If the electromagnetic clamping brake is equipped on the machine but disabled, by pressing [P9] a triple
beep is emitted indicating this condition. To enable the electromagnetic clamping brake, contact technical
support.
Illuminator (only in some machine models)
The illuminator is quite useful because it allows shedding light on the internal part of the rim which is
normally barely visible, thus making balancing operations easier.
To turn on the illuminator, press [F+P9]. To turn off the illuminator, press [F+P9] again.
The illuminator is also automatically managed by the machine that turns it on in the following cases:
• When the Distance/Diameter sensor is extracted;
• After a wheel stop procedure on the position of imbalance (SWI procedure) which resulted in the
balancing
position of the internal weight;
• When the wheel itself is in the balancing position of the internal weight by manually rotating the wheel
after a launch;
SWI wheel stop procedure on the positions of imbalance
Machines equipped with the electromagnetic clamping brake are capable of automatically stopping the
wheel at the first imbalance angular position that is reached during rotation. This allows the operator to
have the wheel in position ready for the application of the balancing weight thus increasing work and
productivity speeds. The procedure is referred to with the short English acronym SWI (Stop the Wheel
on Imbalance). Within this manual, this acronym will be used to refer to the wheel stop procedure on the
positions of imbalance. The SWI procedure has three different operating modes indicated in table T8.2.
