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.

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:

3.8.3 Use of clamp STDA30E /STDA48E
The centre crosspiece of clamps STDA30E is mobile; the clamp can therefore be raised
and/or lowered by at most 180 mm in the event of an obstacle (a wide truck wheel for
instance) preventing communication between the two measuring heads.
To lower the two measuring heads to the same level, the crosspiece features 3 notches, each
60 mm high.
ALWAYS LEVEL THE CLAMP BEFORE LOWERING THE CROSSPIECE (see following
examples):

3.8.4 Run out for vehicles with clamp STDA30E
In the event of the operator wishing to use the truck wheel clamps STDA30E on a motor-
vehicle, great care must be taken as these are very long compared to the vehicle clamps . At
the end of the run out procedure and when lowering the wheels, the clamp could touch the
floor and consequently move or break thus affecting the result of the following tests.
During the run our procedure, the screen shows an instruction to turn the wheel, taking as
reference the knob, indicated by the flashing point.
By following this procedure, the run out terminates with the clamp in vertical position (knob
at top) and the clamp touches the floor when lowering the wheels.
To prevent this, take as turning reference not the knob but a point of the wheel shifted by 90°
with respect to the knob (see Figure 9 and Figure 10), so the procedure terminates with the
clamp in horizontal position.
Figure 9
-Turn the wheel by 180° (knob position TOWARDS THE LEFT). Press the centre key of the
measuring head. Acquisition of measurements.
Figure 10
NOTE: The wheel clamps must all be horizontal when lowering the vehicle, once the run out
procedure has terminated.
This way, during the measuring head ALIGNMENT AND LEVELLING STAGE, it will not be
possible to level the clamps, but if clamps STDA30E (para. 3.8.1 on page 11) are used on a
vehicle it will NEVER be necessary to shift the movable crosspiece of the clamp downwards
because the size of the wheels of a vehicle will never block the measuring head signal.

Switch off the machine by the main switch situated at the rear of the equipment.
IMPORTANT:
The switch-off procedure does not affect the sensor recharge
supports which continue to be powered.
5 AUTOMATIC SENSOR SWITCH-OFF
The system switches the sensors off automatically whenever the presentation or screen-saver
pages are displayed.
The sensors will in any case switch off after 5 approx. minutes unless they receive data (eg.
the console is off).
It is in any case best to always switch off the sensors manually (see para. 3.7.4 page 10)
when these are not used.
6 LOW-BATTERY INDICATOR
The system displays a low-battery indication (Figure 15).
This signal is also provided on the sensor itself by means of the flashing of the red switch-on
LED (see para. 3.7.4 on page 10).
Figure 15
When the remaining battery charge is 30% or BELOW, the program shows the low-battery
indication page (Figure 15). The sensor goes off after a few minutes. Try not to reach this
situation, by charging the sensors just as soon as possible.
To exit from the signal page, press F4 .
