This function is automatically enabled when an Easy ALU program is selected.
It modifies the selected positions for the application of adhesive weights, so as to ensure
perfect balancing of the wheel using commercially available adhesive weights (i.e. multiples
of five grams). The accuracy of the machine is thereby improved, avoiding rounding off or cutting
the weights to be applied to come closer to the actual unbalance values.
The modified positions, where the adhesive weights are to be applied, are identified by the user
according to the information given by the wheel balancer (see the BALANCING WEIGHT APPLIC-
ATION section).
This programme divides the outer weight Pe into two weights P1 and P2 located in any position
chosen by the operator.
The only condition is that the two weights and the original outer weight Pe must be within an
angle of 120°, as shown in fig. 23.
Fig. 23. Conditions for using the Hidden Weights programme
The Hidden Weight programme is to be used on alloy rims, only and exclusively in conjunction
with the EASY ALU1/EASY ALU2 programme, when:
- when the outer weight would rather be hidden behind two spokes for aesthetic reasons;
To use this programme, proceed as follows:
1. Select either EASY ALU1 or EASY ALU2 before starting. by selecting the EASY ALU 1 Balancing
programme icon or the EASY ALU 2 Balancing programme icon. The mask for measuring the
unbalance on alloy rims is displayed.
2. Perform the wheel balancing procedure as described in the chapter "EASY ALU1, EASY ALU2
Programmes", but without applying the outer weight.
3. Select the Hidden weight icon. If the wheel is balanced on the outer side, the machine displays
the message shown in Fig. 24b on the screen.
