1.3 Operation
1.3.1. Self test
After it is switched on, the device carries out a self
test and then automatically switches to “dynamic”
mode
1.3.2. Wheel assembly
Select the correct cone to centre the wheel on the balancing flange.
As shown below, there are 2 easy ways to mount the wheel.
a. The first way of mounting a wheel is
shown opposite.
Using this method, the wheel rim is stretched
onto the balancing shaft from the exterior.
If you are using the largest cone, the
extension piece for the clamping cone must
also be used.
This method increases the risk of
clamping errors and is therefore only
recommended for use with steel rims.
b. When using the second method, first
position the tension springs on the
balancing shaft and then a suitable
cone. The wheel rim can be stretched
onto the balancing shaft using a
pressure hood.

1.3.3. Selecting the balancing type
DYN
Dynamic – mode (standard):
This function calculates the radial and lateral
run-out of an aluminium or steel wheel rim.
The balancing weights are positioned on the
exterior and interior of the wheel.
STA
Static – mode:
This function calculates the radial run-out of a
steel wheel rim.
The balancing weights are positioned centrally
on the wheel rim.
ALU -1-
These functions calculate the radial and lateral
run-out of an aluminium wheel rim.
The balancing weights are positioned at a pre-
defined point.
ALU -2-
These functions calculate the radial and lateral
run-out of an aluminium wheel rim.
The balancing weights are positioned at a pre-
defined point.
ALUS
These functions calculate the radial and lateral
run-out of an aluminium wheel rim.
The balancing weights are positioned at a
location that has been pre-defined by the user.
We recommend selecting the ALUS mode to balance aluminium wheel rims. This mode not only
takes into account the exact cross section of your wheel rim, but also helps you to precisely position the
adhesive weight.
If using ALU 1, the following measurements must be observed when attaching adhesive weights:

1.3.4. Entry of the tyre sizes
a) Basics:
In motorcycle mode, an optional measuring tip (+ 100 mm) must be used.

Manufacturer ATH-Heinl GmbH & CO.KG
- 10 -
b) Wheel data and entries for calculating the imbalance:
The following data must be recorded in the DYN, STA and
ALU1 modes:
[A] Distance between wheel and machine
[B] Rim width
[D] Rim diameter
This data is recorded by positioning the gauge on the
wheel rim. The [A] and [D] data is automatically recorded
by the machine.
The rim width must then be entered using the [B+] / [B-]
buttons.
The following data must be recorded in ALU2 and ALUS
mode:
[A] Distance between the machine and the first adhesive
point
[B] Distance between the machine and the second
adhesive point
[D] Rim diameter
[dE] Rim diameter at the second adhesive point
All wheel values are recorded by the automatic plunge.
During the measurement process, firstly move the plunge
to the first point and then, after a brief wait, it can be
moved to the second point.
The [A]; [B]; [D] and [De] data is then automatically
recorded by the machine.
In this process, the ALUS programme does not need to be
selected in advance.

1.3.5. Starting the balancing process
Start the balancing process using the
STARTbutton or by closing the wheel protector
/
Turn the wheel until all the diodes on the display
light up
The weight must then be applied to the wheel.
The machine provides you with the following aids
to ensure precise positioning:

a) HID function
- The HID function allows you to position the external balancing weight in a hidden spot behind the
spokes.
- This function is available in ALU2 and ALUS mode.
After the balancing process, the HID programme
can be started by pressing the T + OPT buttons +
The display then shows SPO – 12H.
Turn the wheel until all the diodes on the display
for the external position light up.
Confirm this position using ALU

The display will then show SPO – -1-.
Now turn the wheel until the left spoke is at the 12
o'clock position.
Confirm this position using ALU
The display will then show SPO – -2-.
Now turn the wheel until the right spoke is at the
12 o'clock position.
Confirm this position using ALU
The
display will then show the INTERNAL
IMBALANCE and SPL in the third field.
By turning the wheel until all the diodes for the
external position light up, the respective value will
also be displayed.
Next, position the weight against the gauge and
use this to position the weight on the wheel rim.

Continue to turn the wheel until all the diodes for
the external position light up in order to pinpoint
the second value. The respective value will then
also be displayed.
Next, position the weight on the gauge and use
this to position the weight on the wheel rim.
b) Optimisation
- It is possible to minimise the static imbalance of the wheel using the OPT function. The unbalance
of the wheel rim is evened out with the unbalance of the tyre.
After a balancing run, you can test the static
imbalance by pressing the F button.
If the imbalance is over 30 g, an optimisation
process is recommended.
Make a mark at the position of the valve on the
tyre, the entry cover of the balancing machine and
the wheel rim so that the mark lines up with the
valve.
Press the OPT button to start the optimisation
process.
A display then appears which tells you to turn the
tyre 180° on the wheel rim.
Remove the wheel from the balancing machine.
Measure the air pressure and remove the tyre
using a suitable tyre changer.

Fit the tyre on the wheel rim again and turn it
180°.
Fill the wheel with the same air pressure.
The wheel can then be mounted on the balancing
machine again. Pay attention to the marks on the
entry cover when doing so.
Start the balancing process using the STARTbutton
or by closing the wheel protector
/
The optimisation that has been calculated will then
appear on the display.
Turn the wheel when stretched until the display
opposite appears.
Mark the TYRE at the 12 o’clock position.
Turn the wheel when stretched until the display
opposite appears.
Mark the WHEEL RIM at the 12 o’clock position.
Remove the wheel from the balancing machine.
Measure the air pressure and remove the tyre
using a suitable tyre changing machine.
Fit the tyre on the wheel rim again and, whilst
doing so, turn the tyre until both marks on the tyre
and the wheel rim line up.
Fill the wheel with the same air pressure.
Start the balancing process using the STARTbutton
or by closing the wheel protector
