Selecting Balancing
Options
Hood Start
The balancer can be set to automatically start the spin
cycle as soon as the hood is lowered completely and the
hood safety interlock systems are engaged. Press and
hold the SHIFT key and press 3. To return the balancer to
normal mode, repeat the key sequence.
Round Off
The default weight measurement on the balancer is 0.25
ounces. The balancer can be set to a non-Round Off mode
that displays weights in 0.01 ounce increments. Press and
hold the SHIFT key and press 6 to toggle between the
Round Off and non-Round Off modes.
Ounce/Gram
In the default mode, the balancer will operate in ounces.
The balancer can be set to operate in grams by pressing
and holding the SHIFT key and pressing 9. Toggle back to
ounces by using the same key sequence. LEDs on the
control panel indicate which weight measurement is cur-
rently selected.
Operator A/B
Two operators can utilize the balancer without
clearing or changing each others data. This is
handy when one operator is running the Match
Mount procedure and the other operator needs the bal-
ancer. If operator A is at a point in the Match Mount pro-
cedure where the wheel is removed from the balancer,
operator B can access the machine by switching to the
other operator memory. When B’s balance is complete, he
can toggle the machine back to A’s memory. All of opera-
tor A’s data is still present, and the Match Mount proce-
dure can be continued without having to start over. Press
and hold the SHIFT key and press 7 to toggle between the
2 operator memories. LEDs on the control panel indicate
which operator memory is in use.
Clear
This function clears the data in the currently
selected operator memory only. The other mem-
ory is unaffected. Press and hold the SHIFT key
and press 2 to clear.
Blank Rim
This feature blanks out the wheel diameter
measurement on the control panel display. The
balancer continues to use the measurement
even though the display is blank. This feature is typically
utilized when the customer is within view of the balancer,
and may become concerned by the measurement shown
for the wheel diameter (typically when metric or odd size
wheel diameters are displayed). Press and hold the SHIFT
key and press 4 to blank the display. Repeat the key
sequence to reactivate the display.
Reading the Displays
Weight Displays
The two weight displays (one for the inner plane, and one
for the outer plane) are positioned with a wheel cross sec-
tion diagram. After spinning the wheel, the balancer will
calculate the weight needed and display it in these dis-
plays. The display to the left of the diagram will show the
weight to be applied to the inner plane of the wheel and
the display to the right will show the weight for the outer
plane.
Error messages and system messages will also be
shown in these displays.
Weight Position LEDs
Each weight display includes weight position LEDs.
Located between the weight display and the diagram,
these LEDs indicate the proper location for weight appli-
cation. After a spin, rotate the wheel until the center posi-
tion indicator LEDs flash. This indicates that the position
specified by the balancer for weight application is at top-
dead-center.
Display Messages
Both inner and outer displays will show 0.00 when the
balancer is first turned on or after clearing the memory.
The balancer may also display the following messages:
Err - An error was detected after the start button was
pressed. The error is in one of the wheel measurements
entered into the balancer. Check your measurements and
re-enter as needed.
Err 3 - Circuit malfunction. Call the Hennessy Service
Department at (800) 688-6359.
Hood (hod) - The hood has been raised during the bal-
ancing cycle. The balancer will automatically brake to a
stop. The hood must be down with the safety interlock
engaged for the balancer to spin.
Hub - The hub nut has come loose. The balancer will
automatically brake to a stop when the wheel is 13 inches
or larger in diameter. Retighten the hub nut and respin.
