IMPORTANT
bear in mind that the wheel's rated diameter (e.g. 14") refers to the planes
on which the tyre beads rest, which are obviously inside the rim. The val-
ues measured are with reference to external planes and, as a result, are
smaller than the nominal values due to the thickness of the rim itself. The correction
value therefore refers to an average thickness of the rim. This means that the data
measured on wheels with different thicknesses may vary slightly (2 or 3 tenths of an
inch maximum) from the rated values. This is not a lack of accuracy of the measuring
devices, but reflects reality.
If the automatic measuring arm fails to operate, the geometric data can be entered
manually by following the procedure indicated in the "manual wheel data entry" section,
function present within the utility and configuration programmes.
DETECTION PLANS BY POINTER LaserPlane
The detection of the geometrical data relative to the real
balancing planes for the application of adhesive weights,
can be facilitated by the laser line on the lever of the au-
tomatic detector.
To enable this line it is necessary to press the button on
the automatic arm (A, Fig. 12a).
The laser line is thus visible inside the rim for 10 seconds,
after which, if necessary, the button on the automatic arm
must be pressed again.
Wheel data entry for wheel balancers with width measuring
To enter the distance, diameter and width values automatically, proceed as follows:
- bring the automatic internal measuring arm (A, Fig. 10) into contact with the inner
side of the rim as shown in Fig. 13a and at the same time bring the automatic external
measuring arm (B1, Fig. 10) into contact with the outer side (Fig. 13b).
