2 Allvis Measuring System
2.1 General Description
Allvis Electronic Measuring System
A lightweight telescoping electronic measuring arm made up of
aluminum and composite materials forms the main component
of the system.
A quick release socket built into the rear end of the telescoping
arm accepts any one of six snap-in height calibration rods – rod
numbers A to F.
A socket located on the inside of the self-centering magnet
allows it to be snapped onto the ball of any one of the height
calibration rods.
The housing of the electronic control unit with digital display
located on the front end of the arm incorporates an easy to
operate twist-lock socket for each of the 4 different lengths of
datum height rods.
An adjustable rotating datum height level assembly is built into
the top of the housing of the electronic control unit. Level
adjustment is by thumb wheel.
Measurement control buttons are located on the front face of
the electronic control unit and a battery compartment for the
two AA batteries is built in to the lower part of the housing.
Distance measurements from center of the rear calibrated rod
holder to center of the front datum height rod holder is
generated by electronic impulses produced by a rotating wheel
inside the arm.
For operating instructions - refer to item numbers 2.2 to 2.10

Allvis – Manual (EN 2021-05-25)
2.3 Height Calibration Rods
The measurement system includes 6 height calibration rods.
Each rod a different length, from A which is the shortest to F
the longest. For best results, use shortest rod possible while
allowing sufficient working height under the vehicle.
2.4 Magnetic Attachment
This attachment was developed to suit most vehicle models on
the market. Use it when a round or oval hole <Ø35 mm is
specified as the zero point on the vehicle dimension data
sheet.
2.5 Datum Height Rods
6 rods are included ranging in length from 160 to 900 mm. Rod
length is determined by the data sheet and should allow for
the specified reading to be observed when the rod has been
locked in place on the measuring arm. The rod should be about
100 mm longer than the height value on the data sheet,
allowing for the extra length needed to insert the rod through
the head. Insert the rod into the measuring head at the front
end of the measuring arm. Position the flat side of the rod
towards the “release” mark, set it at the desired height and
secure by twisting it to the “lock” position.
2.6 ADJUSTABLE LEVEL
The adjustable level located on top of the measuring head is
used to calibrate the measuring arm to a datum plane. The
level swivels 180 degrees and the attached calibration wheel
allows very accurate datum calibration.
With the measuring arm set up and adjusted to an undamaged
control point the level should be swiveled to the adjustment
position where the exposed adjustment wheel can be used to
calibrate the datum plane.
See 4.2 Using level…..Read the part (IMPORTANT)!
When the measuring arm is moved to the damaged part of the
vehicle to check datum height the level must be swiveled to
the opposite locked position where it will be used to bring the
arm into a level plane for accurate height measurement.

3 Creating vehicle Dimension Data Sheets
This section describes how to install and use the Allvis
software.
3.1 General
Measurements on Allvis data sheets reflect measured values
taken from vehicles after they leave the production line also
from information received from vehicle manufacturers and
great care has been taken to produce accurate and reliable
data.
Measurements on Allvis data sheets should be seen as
guideline values, since dimensions of vehicles of the same
model and year can vary as a result of manufacturing
tolerances or previous repairs, also as a result of
manufacturer’s subsequent design changes.
When significant deviations are detected, or uncertainty about
accuracy of the data sheet compared to actual measurements
on the vehicle exist,
take the following action:
•Check that the selected vehicle model year and type
are correct.
•Check that the points measured have been correctly
identified and correspond to data sheet references.
•Check that the correct height measuring attachments
and adaptors specified on the data sheet are being
used.
•Check that the height calibration has been performed
according to instructions and to the specified
measurement point.
•When in doubt, contact the distributor or the on-line
technical support.

4 Measuring
The technician must have a clear understanding of the
damage to the vehicle before attempting to use the Allvis
measuring system and vehicle dimension data.
Being well informed and aware of specific structural damage
to the vehicle beforehand will highlight possible faults or
inconsistencies in measurement values on data sheets at an
early stage, also incorrect mounting, calibration or measuring
points selected by mistake.
Measurement values shown on data sheets and the way the
measuring arm is being used should be constantly reviewed
to ensure that it is being used correctly. Likewise checking to
see that the right vehicle has been selected in the database is
equally important.
When in doubt check the above points thoroughly, and if the
problem persists, contact the ALLVIS distributor or submit your
question to our on-line tech support. Refer also to items 3.1 –
3.2.
4.1 Mounting the Magnet Attachment
Make sure that the mounting points on both sides of the
vehicle are in the right location, and that they have been
cleaned.
Select a suitable height calibration rod and snap the magnetic
adaptor onto the ball of the height rod and test attach it in the
selected mounting position. Make sure that the magnetic
attachment is firmly seated and that there is no play.
Remove the magnetic attachment with height calibration rod
and mount it in the socket at the rear end of the measuring
arm. Use firm downward pressure to click the rod in place.
Continue to 4.2 Using Level to Calibrate Height Plane.

18
Allvis – Manual (EN 2021-05-25)
4.2 Using Level to Calibrate Height Plane
To ensure the accuracy of the measurement it is important
that the calibration of the height plane with the help of the
level is conducted correctly. For this reason follow the
following description carefully.
1. Select a calibration point in accordance with the data
sheet.
2. Turn the level so that the adjustable brass knob is
exposed and so that the level is in a straight line with
the measuring arm.
3. Check the data sheet for the appropriate height
calibration reading. Take a suitable height calibration
rod and adaptor and push it into the socket on top of
the electronic measuring head. A twist-lock action will
secure the rod at the desired height.
4. Take the measuring arm with magnetic attachment
connected and attach the magnet in the selected
mounting position making sure that the attachment is
firmly seated and that there is no play.
5. Pull out and adjust the measuring tool so that the
measuring adaptor (socket) fits the calibration point.
6. Now adjust the level by means of the adjusting knob so
that the bubble is exactly in the center, and between
the markings on the level.

19
Allvis – Manual (EN 2021-05-25)
Important!
(AFTER CALIBRATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED)
•If the calibration point is BEHIND the magnetic
attachment in relation to the points to be measured,
the level MUST be turned 180 degrees/ one half turn,
before measuring can begin.
•If the calibration point is in the SAME direction as the
points to be measured, the level should NOT be
turned.
When the vehicle is not placed horizontally level (from side to
side) measurement values can be affected, although in most
cases only marginally (see 4.6).
Pay attention to the level during measuring operations to
ensure that the calibration has not changed, or disturbed by
changing the level’s adjusting knob or by swiveling the level.
The calibration of the measuring arm is now complete and
measuring operations can begin. Refer 4.3 – 4.6.

20
Allvis – Manual (EN 2021-05-25)
4.3 Length Measuring
Before starting to measure it is important to check the
calibration of the measuring arm. This is done by compressing
the arm altogether and pushing the ON/0 button for at least
three seconds so that the display goes off. With the measuring
arm still compressed push the ON/0 button and the digital
number 900 (900mm) will appear.
The measuring tool is now calibrated and will start measuring
from 900 mm.
If during measuring operations any doubt exists about the
calibration of the measuring arm, repeat the above procedure.
1. Read the length dimension between the magnetic
attachment and the measuring point to be measured
according to the data sheet.
2. Read the height dimension given on the data sheet and
select a suitable height measuring rod and adaptor
(socket).
3. Push the height measuring rod and adaptor into the
measuring tool and set it to the height dimension given
on the data sheet.
4. Mount the magnetic attachment in the intended
attachment point. Pull out and adjust the measuring
tool so that the selected measurement point can be
reached.
(It can be advantageous here to use the hold feature to
freeze the measurement value, especially if it is difficult
to see the display while measuring. Press the HOLD
button briefly to freeze the measurement value. To
return, press the HOLD button again briefly.)
5. Read the measuring arm’s display and compare the
length measurement value with the value on the data
sheet.
(It can be advantageous here to enter the measured
value in the data sheet table in order to create a
before or after report.)
