0 CAUTION
Any damage caused by failure to follow the instructions in this manual or improper
machine use shall relieve SPACE s.r.l. 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 ARS660WD, ARS680WD and ARS680WS 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.4.2 on page 13. PC wrong switching off could lead to
HARD-DISK files "corruption".
•The switching off procedure set forth in par. 4.2 on page 13 does not affect detector
recharge cables, 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).
SPACE s.r.l. 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
ARS660WD, ARS680WD and ARS680WS systems are machines for the detection of all vehicle
special angles.
Angles are detected by four detectors with microprocessor technology and infrared
measurement system, and data transmission (without any cable connection between
detectors).
In ARS680WS models, the data of front cabin detectors are transmitted VIA RADIO through
modules .
Vehicle max. allowed wheelbase length for data transmission and angle measurement is
4.5m.
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. In
case of any doubts relating to machine use and maintenance, refer to the instruction manual and
then, if such doubts persist, contact an authorised after-sales centre or SPACE s.r.l. technical
assistance directly.
2.1 General Preventive Measures
•During operation and maintenance of this machine, always abide by the safety and
accident-prevention regulations in force.
•The machine must only be used by adequately trained and authorised persons.
•This machine must only be used for the purpose for which it was expressly intended.
SPACE s.r.l. declines all liability for injury or damage to persons animals and things
caused by improper machine use.
•Accessories and spare parts must be fitted by persons authorised by SPACE s.r.l.
and only original spare parts and accessories must be used.
•The machine must only be operated in places where there is no danger of explosions
or fire.
•Removal or changes made to safety devices, or warning signals on the machine can
cause serious hazards and represent a violation of European safety regulations.
•Before doing any maintenance jobs on the system, always disconnect the power
supply.
In case of doubt, do not interpret, but contact SPACE s.r.l. technical assistance in
order to obtain instructions suitable for performing operations in total safety.
•Do not allow unauthorised personnel to come near the wheel aligner during use.

3.6 Detectors
Detectors assembled on ARS660WD, ARS680WD and ARS680WS do not need any cable or
cord connection for angle measurement.
Detecting units consist of infrared data transmitters/receivers and CCD-type transducers
with infrared emitter focal point.
All the characteristic angles of vehicle axles are controlled with 8 CCD sensors (6 sensors for
the ARS660WD series) and infrared transmission.
Data transmission among infrared detectors is effective also under critical lighting
conditions.
For ARS680WS models, data are transmitted from front detectors VIA RADIO through
modules located inside front detectors and cabin.
For the transmission of data between the front sensors and the console in wheel aligner
ARS680WD and ARS660WD, the connection cable must be fitted in the special connector on
the lower of the sensor (see para. 3.6.1 on page 8).
Rear detectors do not communicate directly with cabin: their data are transmitted/received
through front detectors, via infrared ray transmission.
Power is supplied by rechargeable 6V long-lasting batteries. For ARS680WS models front
detectors and all rear detectors are recharged thanks to the cables for batteries recharge
positioned onto cabin.
In the case of ARS660WD and ARS680WD aligners, the front sensors are power conveyed
through the connection cables (see para. 3.7 on page 9) because they don’t have batteries.
For all detectors with rechargeable batteries, power supply and consumption data are the
following:

FRONT DETECTORS

If pressed at the same time, they allow detector
manual switching off.
Legend of Figure 5:

detectors: detector battery is under charge
For ARS680WD and ARS660WD front detectors:
indicating that power supply cable is fitted
B - •Red LED steady on: detector is on
•Red LED flashing (with
battery detectors):
detector is flat (when battery residual charge is lower than
or equal to 30%); it will turn off after a few minutes
3.7 Connection cables
The connection cables are fastened to the front sensors (see Figure 2).
Their job is to permit communication between the front sensors and the console as well as
power the sensors themselves.
The rear sensors never communicate directly with the console. Their data are
transmitted/received through the front sensors.
Always use the left cable with the left detector and right cable with the right detector.
Reversing the cables the communication is not possible. Cables are not interchangeable.

Detectors will anyway automatically switch off after 5 minutes approx. if no data are received

This signal is also visible on the detector through the flashing of start RED LED (see par.
