GSP9700 Series Road Force Measurement System Operation 1. Getting Started 13
Using Control Knobs (GSP9702)
The control knobs are located to the right of the CRT screen. The control knobs are
used to control the on-screen switches and to manually input data. The control knobs
are identified as the upper, middle, and lower control knobs. The on-screen switches
that are available are dependent upon the current mode of the balancer.
For example, in the “Balance” primary screen, the upper knob (1) controls the grams
to ounces on-screen switch. The middle knob (2) controls the static, dynamic and
non-rounding on-screen switch, and the lower knob (3) controls the load roller and
P/LT tires on-screen switch.

Resetting the Program
The wheel balancing program may be reset at anytime by using the “
R
” key,
located on the CRT support console directly beneath the CRT. To reset the balancer,
press the reset key twice within a four-second period without pressing any other keys
in-between. This prevents a single accidental keystroke from resetting the system.
When the balancer is reset, the information collected for the wheel balance in
progress is erased and the display returns to the “Logo” screen.
Using the Screen Saver/Merchandising Display
If the CRT displays the same image for a long time, the image may become “burned
in” and will be visible even when the display is turned “OFF.” This is a characteristic
of all computer CRT displays. Therefore, after the designated time has passed, the
screen saver will appear on the CRT if “Screen Saver” is not disabled.
NOTE: The system is still running when the screen saver is enabled.
When any “softkey” is pressed or the spindle turned, the program will reappear on the
CRT. This keystroke or spindle movement is recognized only by the screen saver
program and will not affect the balancer program. After the screen is on, additional
key presses will operate the program normally.
NOTE: The screen saver is not affected by rotating the control
knob(s).
