0 CAUTION
Any damage caused by failure to follow the instructions in this manual or improper machine
use shall relieve RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. of all liability.
0.1 Preliminary Safety Information
Before starting the machine:
Read the instructions and the entire manual before using or working on the wheel aligner.
This manual represents an integral part of the product and is intended to inform the user
on how to use the RAVTD3000 wheel aligner. Keep the manual for the entire life of the
machine. Keep it in an easy to access place and refer to it every time the need arises. All
machine operators must be able to read the manual.
Make sure the power supply is in conformity with the specifications shown on the plate.
Voltage and frequency data plate is positioned on machine back side. Please, read plate
data. NEVER connect aligner to a voltage or frequency other than the specified ones.
Duly arrange wheel aligner power cable. This product features a 3-wire plug with built-in
grounding. It can be plugged into a socket with built-in grounding, only. Should a
grounded socket not be available for machine connection, contact an electrician. Do not
tamper with or misuse plug.
Upon machine switching off:
Do not switch off the built-in PC by unplugging it or by turning PC switch to off, but
follow the procedure set forth in par.6.2 on page16. PC wrong switching off could lead to
HARD-DISK files "corruption".
The switching off procedure set forth in par. 6.2 page 16 does not affect battery recharge
supports, which continue being powered.
In emergency conditions and before performing any maintenance:
Insulate the machine against any power source using the special master switch, and
remove plug from power socket.
Do not try to service this unit arbitrarily, as the opening or removal of machine doors
could expose user to hazardous voltage. Maintenance operations shall be carried out by
authorised service personnel, only.
Work environment and machine cleaning:
The work environment must be kept clean and dry, and must not be exposed to
atmospheric agents. It must also be well lit.
Do not clean the machine using jets of water and compressed air.
To clean plastic panels or surfaces use a moist cloth (avoid using liquids containing
solvents).
RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. shall be entitled to make any changes to the models described in this
manual at any time for reasons of a technical and commercial nature.

1 INTENDED USE
The RAVTD3000 system is an equipment designed for detection of all vehicle characteristic
angles. Applications: double axle cars and light commercial vehicles with wheelbases ranging
between 1800 mm (min.) and 4700 mm (max.).
Angles are detected by two sensors placed between the front and rear wheels, each fitted with
two Megapixel cameras which detect the spatial position of 4 three-dimension targets on the
wheels.
Infrared measurement of reciprocal angles between the sensors (no cable connection). Data
are transmitted from sensors to cabin VIA RADIO through modules .
Machine operational temperature range: 0 to 40°C.
2 OPERATOR TRAINING
The machine must be used by specifically trained and authorised personnel, only. To ensure
proper machine use and that measurements can be efficiently taken, operators must be
correctly trained and acquire the skills consistent with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer. For any questions on the use and maintenance of the machine, please read
the instruction manual or the manuals supplied with the individual pieces of equipment (PC,
monitor, printer, ...) and then, if such doubts persist, contact an authorised after-sales centre
or RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. technical assistance directly.
2.1 General Preventive Measures

3.4 MEASURING HEADS
The measuring heads of the RAVTD3000ATS/ RAVTD3000NRC/ RAVTD3000HP
/RAVTD3000 do not need any cable or cord connection for angle measurement or data
transmission.
Detecting units consist of 2 megapixel cameras for each measuring head. Each camera
features a set of high efficiency infrared LED's, used to light the 3D targets fitted on the
wheels of the vehicle.
Measuring heads communicate directly with the cabin. Data are transmitted VIA RADIO
through modules located inside heads and cabin.
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.
For measuring heads with rechargeable batteries, power supply and consumption data are
the following:
