Characteristic angles of both axles of the vehicle are controlled and compensated by 4 CCD
sensors and 2 electronic inclinometers located inside the two measuring heads.
Data transmission among infrared measuring heads is effective also under critical lighting
conditions.
In models RAVTD3000ATS.B; RAVTD3000NRC.B; RAVTD3000HP.B, RAVTD3000.B, power is
supplied by rechargeable 12V long-lasting batteries. Batteries are recharged when they are
inserted into the recharge supports located on the cabin (see par. 3.1).
WARNING: always switch measuring heads off upon removing and/or inserting the batteries;
manual switch-off is carried out by pressing simultaneously the most external red and green
buttons (see par. 3.4.2).
In models RAVTD3000ATS; RAVTD3000NRC; RAVTD3000HP; RAVTD3000 power is supplied
by the special cables coming from the cabin, which supply the 12V needed for operating the
heads (see 3.4.1).
Such cables can be used in battery operated models as an emergency power unit or for
recharging the batteries without removing them from their housing.

5 TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION
5.1 Transport and unpacking
The machine is supplied packed in a box fastened to a pallet to facilitate transport. To
transport the machine to the point where it is to be installed, use a lifting and transport
mechanism such as a fork-lift truck or lift with forks.
The machine must be stored in its packaging, in a dry and ventilated environment (with a
temperature between -25° +55°C).
Never overturn or position the packaging horizontally. The pallet must always rest on a flat
and solid surface. Do not stack other packages on top of the packaging. Always position so
the instructions can be easily read.
DURING UNPACKING, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT ANY INJURY CAUSED BY
CONTACT WITH PACKAGING MATERIAL (NAILS, ETC.).
Make sure you have received all standard parts as previously listed.
The packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene, nails, screws, wood, etc.) must be collected
up and disposed of through authorised channels, except for the pallet, which could be used
again for subsequent machine handling.
5.2 Installation
Install the machine in a dry, covered and well-lit place, possibly closed or protected against
the elements.
Before positioning the machine, make sure the place chosen complies with applicable safety
regulations and check the minimum distances from walls or other obstacles.
5.2.1 Power connections
Before connecting up the machine, carefully check:
power line specifications correspond to machine requirements as shown on the machine
plate;
there is an earth lead and this is of suitable size (section greater or same as max section
of the power cables).
that all the component parts of the power line are in good condition;
Connect the machine up to the mains by means of the 3-pole plug provided (230 V single-
phase) through the wall socket.
If the plug provided is not suitable for the wall socket, fit a plug that complies with local and
applicable regulations. This operation must be performed by expert and professional
personnel.
5.2.2 Cabinet mounting
The mounting of the cabinet model RAVTD3000ATS, NRC and HP, is simply to fix the
monitor and the positioning of the PC and printer in their housing (see chap.3.1).
The mounting of the cabinet model RAVTD3000 is shown instead in special instruction,
which is provided with the equipment.

5.2.3 Clamp/Target Mounting
Targets have to be mounted onto wheel clamps at an angle of 20°. To do this accurately,
adopt the following procedure:
Mount targets onto wheel clamps at an angle of approximately 20°, as shown above, and
fit them to the vehicle.
N.B. Make sure that wheel clamps are secured in place with the spokes positioned
strictly vertically (12 o'clock), as shown above.
In the menu item "Configuration" select the option "target assembly".
As soon as targets are in place and have been optimised, the screen represented in the
figure below will appear.
Carefully align the 4 targets by matching the arrows with the targets above. If one or
more targets are not properly orientated, an "X" symbol will appear (see the rear-left
wheel clamp in the example below). At the end of the alignment procedure block the grub
screw with the lock nut.
Figure 7
Apply the two stickers provided for each wheel clamp/target combination
which identify the front left (FL), front right (FR), rear left (RL) and right
rear (RR) positions.

5.2.4 Mounting the measurement head unit supports
In order to be able to fit the measurement head unit supports it is necessary to drill two M8
holes on each side of the vehicle lift. This should be done in such a way that the distance
from the centres of the measurement head units to the centres of the turn plates is 1200mm.
If you need to work on vehicles with long wheelbases, turn plates can be moved forward up to
another 400 mm. The maximum distance from the rear wheels to the centres of the
measurement head units is 3100 mm.
Figure 8
The figure below shows the left and right hand head unit mounting bracket hole patterns.
Note: The distance from the centre of the plate is slightly different (5mm). This is due to the
asymmetry of the support itself with respect to the two holes.

7 MEASURING HEAD AUTOMATIC SWITCHING OFF
The system makes the measuring heads switch off when the PC is switched off from the
introduction page. Measuring heads will anyway automatically switch off after approx. 5
minutes if no data are received (ex. cabin is off).
Anyway, they can always be manually switched off (see par. 3.4.2 on page 9) when they are
not used.
8 FLAT BATTERY INDICATION
System displays a flat battery warning signal (Figure 12).
This signal is also visible on the sensor itself through the flashing of start RED LED (see par.
3.4.2 on page 9).
Figure 12
When the residual charge is LOWER than or EQUAL to 30%, system displays the page of flat
battery indication (Figure 12). The head will automatically switch off after a few minutes. Try
not to reach this condition, and charge batteries as soon as possible.
To quit the signal page, press F1 .
