TREADREADERTM HANDHELD • PRODUCT MANUAL
The TreadReaderTM HandHeld scanner is a compact and lightweight device. It is
quick and easy to use and eliminates errors associated with manual depth gauges.
TreadReaderTM is suitable for wet or dirty tyres and is ideal for all tyre inspection
applications in workshops, service centres, inspection lanes, commercial vehicle
yards and at the roadside. Accurate tread depth readings for tyres of all vehicle
types, such as passenger cars, LCVs, HGV, buses, and trailers, can reveal uneven
wear symptomatic of problems such as wheel misalignment or worn suspension. The
calculated data can be imported into different eet management systems to log tyre
scans and produce wear analysis or tyre lifetime modelling.
The scanner is positioned on one edge of the tyre and operated by pushing it across
the tread face. A 3D scan of each tyre constructed from up to 300,000 measurement
points is used to calculate treads depths with an accuracy of <0.2mm or 0.008”. The
3D models of the tyre tread obtained using the TreadReaderTM HandHeld scanner
can be viewed, alongside the calculated tread depths, on a tablet or mobile phone.
A report for the operator is instantly generated containing vehicle identication, 3D
tyre scans with colour-coded tread warning, and error alarms for every axle and tyre
position.

There are three buttons on the HandHeld scanner. The LEDs indicate power (on/off),
wi- connectivity, battery level and scanner status.
Below is the general description of the use and interaction of the buttons on the
HandHeld scanner. Throughout the manual there are other uses for the buttons and
combinations of button presses. For more detailed information please see chapter 5.
Holding down the power button for 2 seconds will turn the scanner on/off. The top
LED will be lit when the HandHeld scanner is on, and a vibration will indicate the on/
off event.
