1 General Safety Instructions
1.1Operator’s duty of care
The runout measurement device RPV1300 has been designed
and built after thorough selection of applicable harmonised
standards. It therefore corresponds to the current state of the art
and offers the highest degree of safety during operation.
The device may only be structurally modified with written
authorisation by the manufacturer!
Device safety can only be implemented during practical operation
if all required applicable measures have been taken. The
operator’s duty of care includes planning such measures and
checking their implementation.
In particular, the operator has to ensure that
•the device is only used for its intended purpose
•the device is only used in a fully functioning state and free
from defects
•the complete operating instructions are permanently
available in a readable condition at the operating location of
the device
•only accordingly qualified and authorised personnel operate
the device
•personnel are regularly instructed in all relevant health and
safety issues and are familiar with the operating instructions,
in particular with the safety instructions contained therein
•all safety and warning notices attached to the machine are
not removed and are legible.

1.2Basic safety precautions
The runout measurement device may only be used by accordingly
qualified and authorised personnel who are familiar with these
operating instructions and can work in accordance with these
instructions!
Prior to each use of the device it has to be checked for visible damage
and it must be ensured that the device is only operated when free from
defects! Any defects that are identified must be reported to a superior
immediately!
Laser product
CLASS 2
TYPE 1
Warning - laser radiation
This symbol indicates potential danger to persons. (risk of injury)
Some basic instructions must be followed for all lasers:
- Never look directly into the beam!
- Define beam paths precisely!
- Avoid dangerous reflections. Pay particular attention to reflective or
shiny surfaces as these can cause reflections.
- Turn off the laser after work has finished!
The lasers used are Class 2 laser products. The laser radiation
generated is not hazardous to the eyes for short periods of exposure
(up to 0.25 s). If you accidentally look into the laser beam for a short
period, the eye is protected by the blink reflex.
NEVER INTENTIONALLY LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM!
If you have reason to believe that your eyes has been damaged by the laser beam,
seek the advice of an eye specialist immediately.
Please refer to the accident prevention regulation (VGB 93 Laser
radiation) for further safety instructions for working with lasers.
The user is independently responsible for proper operation and
compliance with safety regulations.
The system must be protected against moisture at all times.
This applies in particular during transport and storage of the entire
device case.
Ensure that the storage location is dry and free from dust and that the
storage temperature does not fall below 0 °C.

2.1 Authorised intended use
•The runout measurement device RPV1300 has been developed to allow optimisation of
runout of large tractor wheels and other heavy vehicle wheels for agricultural and
earthmoving machinery.
•It is exclusively intended for quickly measuring runout of the vehicle rim while simultaneously
measuring runout of the vehicle tyre.
•Using the runout measurement device allows determination of the ideal positioning of the
tyre on the rim through measuring.
•The wheel for testing has to be clamped well centred to the vehicle (tractor) or another
suitable rotation device, e.g. a mounting machine (see page 18).
•The wheel for testing has to have a clear, countable number of tread lugs and be new or as
new.
The operator of the runout measurement device rather than the
manufacturer shall be liable for all personal injury and property damage
caused by incorrect use!
2.2 Description of the area of application:
Tolerances caused by production often cause deviations in runout of rim and tyre. These deviations
can have a negative effect on the runout of the wheel through accumulation of the tolerances,
causing the vehicle to vibrate and even “bob”.
(Vehicle vibrations)
The runout of the individual wheel is also tested and – if necessary – optimised to be able to make a
statement about this value. The laser sensors of the runout measurement device RPV1300 measure
the rim on both sides, in the area of the hump (tyre seating on the rim) and the tyre over the tread
lugs and evaluates it using the program.
The RPV1300 program uses the recorded measurement values to determine the best possible
position of the tyre in relation to the rim.
Afterwards, the smallest runout between the two components can be achieved through targeted
rotation of the tyre on the rim (matching).

5 The RPV1300 Program
We have taken great care to ensure that the entire program is straightforward and clear so that
the user can monitor and operate the device at all times with ease.
You will learn how to use this program to determine the rim and tyre geometry of a vehicle
wheel in a very short time.
In just a few steps, help texts and graphical illustrations guide you through the different parts of
the program and provide sufficient information about the program at all times.
Before you begin with your first measurement, however. the most important program
parameters have to be set up for individual use.
5.1Setting up the software
•Start the program.
Click on the RPV1300 icon on the desktop or in Windows select:
START - ALL PROGRAMS - HAWEKA – RPV1300 / RPV1300.
After program start select the option “Settings” for the first basic setting.
The “Start measurement” button only becomes active when at least 2 laser sensors are
connected to the PC.

6 Preparing for measurement recording
Different preconditions have to be met on the vehicle wheel for correct measurement.
•Drive the tyre for approx. 15 min. to warm it up and prevent flat spots
•Check that the vehicle has rims and tires of the same size
•Check that the tire pressure is correct
•Remove any dirt from wheel and tyre and clean these.
•Check wheel for sufficient tread depth (tread lugs have to be clearly visible)
6.1Preparatory measures
Variant 1
Jacking up the car
(Fig. 28)
•Secure vehicle against rolling away.
•Lift the vehicle at the axle to be measured
using a suitable lifting device until the wheel
can be rotated freely.
•Prevent vehicle from inadvertent lowering.
(e.g. support stands)
Variant 2
Vehicle wheel on tyre mounting machine
(Fig. 29)
•Clamp the vehicle wheel using a suitable* lorry
tyre mounting machine, following instructions
and ensuring exact centring.
•The wheel has to rotate freely.
∗
Observe the rotational speed of the
tyre mounting machine.
See table on page 24.

6.1.1 Setup of measuring device on vehicle wheel
Depending on the version, 2 or 3 sensors are
placed at the vehicle wheel.
The positions of the laser sensors on the wheel
are determined to create a distance (A) between
sensor and measuring point in the range of 80 to
120 mm.
(Fig. 30)
Laser sensor for tyre
The laser sensor is placed approx. 50 mm away
from the centre (to the left or right) of the tread so
that it faces a tread lug. (Fig. 31)
When setting up the laser sensors
ensure that all laser sensors are
aligned on a level passing through
the vehicle axle.
The measuring points have to be on a level with the
vehicle axle, with a tolerance of ±1 cm (Fig. 32).

7 Measurement recording
7.1 Entering vehicle, wheel and rim data in the program
At least two laser sensors are connected to the PC and the PC is switched on. The program
rpv1300 is running and is set to the start page.
•Click on “Start measurement”.
•Enter vehicle data. (Fig. 33)
Entering the correct wheel geometry with
number of tread lugs and wheel diameter is
absolutely required for evaluation.
•Click “Next” to finish vehicle entry and continue to
the next program page. (Fig. 34)
•Select front or rear axle on the model on the right.
•Enter tyre and rim information in the corresponding
fields.
Information about centring:
How well is the wheel mounted on the hub? (Fig. 35)
GOOD: The distance between inside rim
opening and wheel hub is the same for
the entire circumference.
BAD: The wheel is not fixed centrally on the
wheel hub, the gap is not the same all
around.
NOT TESTED: No information about concentric fit
between wheel and hub.
GAP VALUE: You can enter a value (mm) for the gap measurement here. This information will
later appear as a note on the log.
The gap value has NO influence on the result of the evaluated measuring points!
SUSPENSION: This note field can be used for entering details about the actual situation of the
axle suspension on the vehicle. This information will be displayed on the log.
