Machine Information
Entering machine information is optional. It enables you to specify some
of the physical properties of the machine being balanced.
Rotor Weight, Diameter, and Speed
Entering the rotor's weight and diameter helps your instrument calculate
the appropriate size and placement of trial weights based on your
machine's physical properties. The aim is to calculate a trial weight
which will cause a significant change from the initial reading.
To enter the rotor's weight and diameter:
1. Press Balance.
2. Press Setup.
3. Press Machine Information on the Balance Setup menu.
4. Use the options on your screen to enter the values.
TIP: If you need to enter a decimal point, press > Press .
5. Return to the Balance Setup menu if you need to change a
measurement unit (e.g. for rotor weight or diameter).
6. Press Weight Lin Dist.
7. Change the units as required > Press .
NOTE: Once you take the initial reading, your instrument will
display the suggested trial weight mass.
NOTE: A suggested angle and weight will NOT be provided by the
instrument if you are using Manual input mode without a
tachometer connected.
