the position of the rim corresponding to
6 o'clock.
Some slight residual imbalances may
remain at the end of the test spin due to the
considerable difference in shape that may
be found on rims having the same rated
dimensions. Therefore modify the value
and position of the previously applied
weights for accurate wheel balancing.
APPLYING
BALANCING
WEIGHTS IN ALU
1P OR ALU 2P
PROGRAMS
The machine has two special Program
Types for aluminium wheels called ALU
1P and ALU 2P.
These two programs allow the user
to select the planes for balancing
weight application. This allows balancing
aluminium wheels having particular
shapes, difficult to perform with standard
program where the weight are applied in
precise positions.
The difference between ALU 1P and ALU 2P
program is that in ALU 1P program the user
can select freely both balancing positions,
instead in ALU 2P program the user can
select only the external balancing position.
The ALU 1P or ALU 2P program types
use only the Distance/Diameter sensor
to acquire the balancing planes chosen
by the user.
The use of the ALU 1P or ALU 2P program
types is divided into three parts:
• Acquisition of balancing planes as
indicated in the chapters Automatic
acquisition of wheel dimensions for
ALU 1P, ALU 2P program types and
104
Manual entry of wheel dimensions for
ALU 1P, ALU 2P program types
• Balancing spin;
• Search of the balancing planes for weight
application.
Note: guided acquisition and research of
balancing planes could be performed only
if the Distance/diameter sensor is installed
and enabled. If these conditions do not
occur follow the instructions described
on paragraph Use of the ALU 1P or ALU
2P program types without automatic
acquisition.
ADHESIVE WEIGHTS APPLIED WITH
THE WEIGHT HOLDER DEVICE AND
AFTER CHANGING THE 12 O'CLOCK
APPLICATION POSITION WITH
CLIP IN THE "ADHESIVE WEIGHT
APPLICATION POSITION" CHAPTER
(SUCH PROCEDURE IS ONLY FOR CAR
AND SUV WHEEL TYPES)
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the weight identified on the left
screen (internal weight);
2. Position the adhesive weight inside the
cavity of the weight-holder terminal of
the measuring arm (fig. 26,a,b), with
the backing paper of the adhesive strip
facing up. Then remove the protection
(fig. 26c).
3. Manually rotate the wheel until all the
internal imbalance position LEDs light
up (see figure 9). Block the wheel in
this position using the pedal brake or
electromagnetic brake (if present);
4. Slowly extract the sensor until you hear
the continuous beep indicating that
the internal balancing plane has been
reached. The left display helps the
operator in this operation by indicating
the direction in which the sensor must
be moved. See figure 23, 24, 25;
