13.2 STANDARD, SERVICE, STAND-BY operating modes
The machine features three operating modes:
STANDARD mode. This mode is enabled when the machine is turned on and allows using the machine to perform wheel
balancing.
SERVICE mode. In this mode, various programs are available for performing settings (such as measurements in grams or
ounces) or checking the machine operation (such as calibration).
STAND-BY mode. After 5 minutes without user activity, the machine automatically switches to STAND-BY mode to reduce
electrical consumption (both with wheel guard raised or lowered). The STAND-BY green LED on the control panel flashes
when the machine is in this operating mode. All acquired data and settings are retained in STAND-BY mode. When in
SERVICE mode, the machine cannot be switched to STAND-BY mode.
To exit STAND-BY mode, proceed with one of the following options:
Press any key (with the exception of [P7] );
Turn manually the wheel;
Remove the Distance and Diameter sensor from the rest position.
Note: The machine will also exit STAND-BY mode by pressing the [P8] Start . In these cases spinning will also be started
up immediately.
14. TEMPORARY DISTANCE/DIAMETER SENSOR DISABLING
If the machine displays the error code Err 016 “dis out” (Distance/Diameter sensor not in the rest position) at switching on,
although being in rest position, it means that an anomaly occurred in the acquisition system.
It is possible to temporarily disabling the Diameter/Distance sensor by pressing keys [F+P2] . The
LED on the control board will light up and flash indicating the automatic acquisition of Diameter/Distance is disabled
and the machine is ready to be used.
As it is not possible to use the automatic acquisition system, the wheel dimensions must be entered manually. By turning the
machine off and back on again, the error code will re-appear and you will once again need to proceed as described above.
If the automatic acquisition system is malfunctioning and it blocks the machine in a permanent acquisition function, the temporary
disabling could be done also after the machine is switched on.
15. MACHINE CALIBRATION
To operate properly, the machine must be calibrated. Calibration allows storing the mechanical and electrical parameters specific
to each machine so as to provide the best balancing results.

Use and Maintenance Manual –VER. 2016-02 Page 12
15.1 When to carry out machine calibration

To use the machine, select or set the following:
Program Type (program for wheels with steel, aluminium or special aluminium rims). Default = program for wheels with
steel rims;
Wheel Type (car, truck, SUV). Default = truck;
Size of the wheel to be balanced. The measurements can be entered manually (always) or in partially automatic mode.
Dynamic or Static Balancing. Default = Dynamic;
Display resolution X1 or X5. Default = X5.
The selections described above can be entered before or after the spin. For any variation of the selections or data settings, the
machine will run a recalculation by displaying the new imbalance value.
When the required selections/settings have been made it is possible to run a spin cycle by pressing [P8] Start . At the
end of the spin, the machine displays the wheel imbalance values.
Apply the weights displayed by the machine in the indicated positions, and then run a second test spin. Normally, weights should
be applied at 12 o’clock, with the exception of special programs for ALS1 and ALS2 aluminium.
16.1 Program Type
The machine allows the choice between eight different Program Type of balancing as listed in table T16.1.

Programs can be selected in NORMAL mode by pressing key [P4] or [P5] . On the first press of one of
these two keys, the Type of Program currently selected is shown on the displays; if, within a lapse of 1.5 seconds, neither of the two
keys is pressed again, the display returns to its previous status without changing the Type of active Program. The following LEDs
will light up on the control panel depending on the Type of active Program:
Program Type LED. See Picture F13.1.
Imbalance Weight Position LED. See Picture F13.1.
Note: Selecting the STD Program Type eliminates the Static Imbalance display selection.
The selected Program Type also affects the automatic acquisition mode of the wheel measurements as stated in the
Automatic Acquisition column of Table T16.1. The position of the balancing weights along the section of the rim in the various
Program Types is shown in figure F16.1.

Not suitable for balancing truck wheels
Each of the above programs sets specific values to measure wheel sizes and calculate imbalances. The special features of each
program are listed in the following paragraphs.
To select a specific Wheel Type, press the [P6] key repeatedly until the relative LED lights up, as shown in table T16.3.
16.2.1 CAR wheel type (passenger cars)
Selecting the CAR Wheel Type allows balancing passenger car wheels. For off-road vehicles, it may be appropriate to select the SUV
Wheel Type (see paragraph below).
To select the CAR wheel type, press the [P6] key repeatedly until the CAR LED of the LED Wheel Type group lights up.
See table T16.3.
16.2.2 TRUCK wheel type
Selecting a TRUCK wheel type allows balancing truck wheels.
To select the TRUCK wheel type, press the [P6] key repeatedly until the TRUCK LED of the LED Wheel Type group
lights up. See table T16.3.
16.2.3 SUV wheel type (off-road vehicles)
Selecting the SUV wheel type allows balancing off-road vehicle wheels. These vehicles are generally equipped with wheels that are
larger than normal, and the tyre is relatively large compared to the diameter of the rim (i.e. not the low profile or super low profile
types). The selection for this wheel type does not allow balancing truck wheels, because the latter have rims with considerably
different profiles.
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 to be balanced.
To select the SUV type wheel, press the [P6] key repeatedly until the SUV LED of the LED Wheel Type group lights up.
See table T16.3. For SUV wheel type all Programs Type listed in table T16.1. are available.

Use and Maintenance Manual –VER. 2016-02 Page 18
The positions of the weights along the section of the rim are the same as those shown in figure F16.1.
16.3 Entering wheel size
The dimensions of the wheel to balance can be entered in two ways:
Manual Mode.
Semi-automatic Mode.
Note: All machines are equipped with a graduated scale for manually measuring distance.
16.3.1 Manual entry of wheel dimensions for the STD and Program Types
To manually enter a wheel size, proceed as follows:
1. Fit the wheel on the shaft and tighten it with the ring nut.
2. Extract the distance sensor and place it on the wheel as shown in Picture F16.2.
3. Read the distance value on the graduated scale as shown in Picture F16.2. The distance value is always expressed in
millimetres.
4. Press [P1] key to change distance and then press the [P4] or [P5] key within 1.5 seconds
to enter the read value. If you do not press the [P4] or [P5] key within this time limit, the machine will
return to the previous display. In this case, you can press the [P1] key again to enter or edit the data.
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 measurement.
6. Press the [P2] key to change the width and press the [P4] or [P5] key within 1.5 seconds
to enter the read value. If neither of these two buttons is pressed in this time limit, the machine will return
