What to do if the VFC value is not in range on Cormach MEC 5 Wheel Balancers?
- M
  Melissa ShortAug 3, 2025
  If the VFC value is not within the range of 40.0 ÷ 44.0, and the displayed values are too high, too low, or zero, especially when the machine is knocked, it could be due to several reasons: * The connection cable might not be properly welded to the pick-up. In this case, weld the cable to the pick-up. * The connection cable might not be correctly connected to the CPU. So, check the correct connection of the pick-up cable to the CPU. * The pick-up might be too compressed. If so, remove the compression springs and ensure the pick-up moves freely.

If this is the case, reactivate the sensors. * There might be an interruption in the sensor cable, so replace the interrupted cable. * The sensor board might be burnt. If the sensor calibration program doesn't display the calibration values, replace the sensor board.

  Laura HarrisonAug 18, 2025
  If your Cormach Wheel Balancers machine isn't reading all positions (0 ÷ 255), the shaft doesn't stop rotating, or it only performs a half-turn before stopping, it could be due to: * A dirty encoder disc. Clean the encoder disc. * An interrupted encoder disc cable. Replace the board and then the cable. * A burnt encoder board. Replace the board and then the cable.
