0 WARNINGS
Any damage caused by failure to observe the indications in this manual or by incorrect
machine use shall exempt Ravaglioli S.p.A. from all liability.
0.1 Preliminary safety information
Before starting up the appliance:
•Read the instructions and the entire manual before using or working on the wheel aligner.
This manual is an integral part of the product. Its aim is to provide the user with
instructions on how to operate the wheel aligner RAV TD8060TWS/TWSR and RAV
TD8080TWS/TWSR. Look after the manual for the entire working life of the machine and
keep it in a place that is known and easily accessible. Refer to it every time you have any
doubts. All product operators must be able to read the manual.
•Make sure the power supply is in conformity with the specifications shown on the plate.
The plate showing voltage and frequency details is positioned on the rear of the appliance.
Please read this plate carefully. NEVER connect the appliance to a power source with
voltage or frequency different to those shown.
•Adequately position the power cable of the wheel aligner. The machine features a 3-pin
plug with integrated ground. This can only be fitted in a socket that also has a ground
point. If it is not possible to fit the plug into this type of socket, contact an electrician. Do
not try modifying or using the plug incorrectly.
On switching off the machine:
•Never switch off the PC inside the machine by disconnecting the plug or by means of the
PC switch itself. Always follow the procedure described in para. 4.2 on page 15. Incorrect
PC switch-off can "corrupt" the files inside the HARD-DISK.
•The switch-off procedure described in para. 4.2 on page 15 does not affect the measuring
head recharging supports which therefore continue to be energised.
In emergency conditions and before any maintenance jobs:
•Isolate the machine from any power sources by means of the master switch and
disconnect the plug from the power socket.
•Do not try servicing the machine arbitrarily because the opening and removal of the doors
could expose you to hazardous voltages; maintenance jobs must only be performed by
authorised after-sales service personnel.
Working environment and cleaning the machine:
•The working environment must be kept clean, dry and not exposed to atmospheric agents
and must be well lit.
•Do not clean the machine with jets of water and compressed air.
•To clean the plastic panels or shelves, use a damp cloth (avoid using liquids containing
solvents).
RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. shall be entitled to make any changes to the models described in this manual
for technical or commercial reasons.

1 INTENDED USE
The RAV TD8060TWS/TWSR and RAV TD8080TWS/TWSR systems are machines for
determining all the angles relating to vehicle wheel alignment.
These angles are measured by four sensors incorporating microprocessor technology and
infrared data reading and transmission system [without using cable connections between the
sensors].
Data transmission from the front sensors to the console is by radio frequency communication
by means of modules .
The machine must only be used in a field of temperature from 0° to 40°.
2 STAFF TRAINING
The machine must only be used by specially trained and authorised personnel. To ensure
best machine management and that measurements can be efficiently made, operators must
be properly trained in order to acquire the know-how needed to use the machine according to
the instructions provided by the manufacturer. In case of any doubts relating to the use and
maintenance of this machine, refer to the instruction manual; if doubts still remain, contact
authorised after-sales services or the RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. technical department.
2.1 General precautions
•During machine operation and maintenance, always follow all applicable safety
and accident-prevention norms.
•The machine must only be used by authorised and adequately trained personnel.
•This machine must only be used for the purpose for which it was specifically
made.
RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. disclaims all liability for injuries to persons or anuimals and
damage caused to things by incorrect machine use.
•Accessories and spare parts must only be fitted by authorised RAVAGLIOLI
S.p.A. personnel and original accessories and spare parts must always be used.
•
The machine must only operate in places where there is no risk of explosion or
fire.
•Removing or altering safety devices or the warning signals on the machine can
represent a cause of serious hazard and is an infringement of European safety
laws.
•Before doing any maintenance jobs on the system, disconnect the power supply.
In case of doubt, do not interpret but contact the RAVAGLIOLI S.p.A. after-
sales
service to receive instructions on how to perform operations in conditions of
utmost safety.
•Avoid unauthorised persons coming near the wheel aligner during operation.

3.7 Sensors
The sensors of the RAV TD8060TWS/TWSR and RAV TD8080TWS/TWSR unit require no
cable connections for angle measurement. The measurement units consist of infra-red data
transceivers and CCD type transducers with infra-red emission focal point.
All the characteristic angles of both vehicle axles are controlled by CCD sensors (6 sensors
for the TD8060TWS/TWSR serie and 8 sensors for TD8080TWS/TWSR serie) and infra-red
transmission.
Data transmission between the infra-red sensors is effective even in critical lighting
conditions.
Data transmission of the front measuring heads is VIA RADIO by means of modules
housed inside the front measuring heads and the console.
The rear sensors do not communicate directly with the console. Their data are
transmitted/received through the infra-red transmission of the front sensors [see para. 3.7.3
on page 10).
Power is supplied by rechargeable 6V long-life batteries; recharging of front and rear
measuring heads is done through the supports for recharging the batteries of the measuring
heads located on the console.
For all the sensors featuring rechargeable batteries, the power and consumption data are as
follows:
