4.8 Blinding and Rounding
The balancer can display either an “actual” or “blinded and rounded” amount of
imbalance.
“Blind” is a tolerance or amount of imbalance required before an imbalance amount is
displayed. “Rounded” allows the balancer to display weight imbalance to the closest
increment. The blinded and rounded values can be changed by the service
representative.

When using the
“Static/Dynamic” button, STATIC or DYNAMIC can be selected
to include the middle display LED (as shown below). When the middle display LED is
on, the blind and rounding are disabled. The actual amounts of imbalance, for the
selected mode, will be displayed. (The blind and rounding are disabled.)
For example: Pressing the “Static/Dynamic” button from DYNAMIC LED lit to
the DYNAMIC plus the middle position LED lit, will display the actual imbalance
amounts on the inner plane and outer plane weight amount indicators.
4.9 Split Weight
®
Feature
Pressing either the “Left Plane Split Weight
®
” or the “Right Plane Split
Weight
®
” button will change the required imbalance correction weight amount into
two smaller size weights. The angle is adjusted by the balancer to produce the non-
rounded correction called for by the single weight before the split. This provides exact
imbalance correction without weight trimming. The non-rounded imbalance is split
regardless of whether blind and rounding are enabled. For this reason, Split Weight
®
is more accurate than applying a single weight with the blind and rounding enabled.
Split Weight
®
is especially useful when the imbalance amount is large or unavailable,
such as 6.0 ounces. Split Weight
®
eliminates the error caused by placing two 3.0
ounce weights side-by-side, which would leave a substantial residual imbalance:

BY HAND
USING SPLIT WEIGHT
Use the “Left Plane Split Weight
®
” or “Right Plane Split Weight
®
” when the weight
location interferes with a hubcap or trim ring, when one weight is too large, to avoid
weight trimming, or to substitute for a weight size that is out of stock.
