3.18 Blinding and Rounding
In non-SmartWeight mode 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. “Round” allows the balancer to display weight imbalance to a desired
increment. The blind and round values can be changed in the “Setup” procedure.
Refer to “Service Mode Setup and Features,” page 114.
While in the “Balance” primary screen, blind and rounding may be disabled by
rotating the control knob to highlight the magnifying glass. The actual amounts of
imbalance for the selected mode will be displayed when “Blind and Rounding” are
disabled as shown below.
3.19 Split Weight® Feature
Press to 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 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.
Use when the weight location interferes with a hubcap, trim ring, when one
weight is too large, to avoid weight trimming, or to substitute for a weight size that is
out of stock.
Split Weight® Operation
Each time is pressed, the two weights are increased to the next largest
weight size and are placed (fanned out) further down the rim, as shown below.
