Measuring Heads; Battery Recharging Procedure; Run-Down Process - SICE A 926 Manual De Instrucciones

Never switch off the machine when there is a page other than the logo page because
such an action might damage the PC.
If this should occur, when the PC is switched back on, the software will request the user
to press any key to perform the "SCANDISK" operation.
This operation is used to check that the PC has not been damaged and, if necessary, to
update some files that might have been damaged.
At the end of the process, if the program reboots normally, then no problems have
occurred. Instead, if any message appears that blocks the program start-up procedure,
contact the nearest technical assistance centre.
Switch on the measuring heads by pressing the "Power" key on the keypad (fig. 25).
The green LED indicates that the measuring head has powered up.
To switch off the measuring heads, press the "Power" key again.
The measuring heads can also be powered down automatically ("auto switch-off") by a special
software procedure in the following cases:
- if the equipment has been inactive for about five minutes, with no communications between
measuring heads and central unit and no measuring head key pressed.
- if the equipment has been inactive for about ten minutes, with no angles recorded and/or no
measuring head or central unit key pressed.
when the battery power level falls below the minimum value required for operation.

Note
Each sensor head is powered by a NiMH battery that is recharged by connecting the sensor
head recharge cable to the electrical connector panel (H, fig. 11). The green LED on the sensor
head connector lights to indicate when charging is in progress.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by the use of non-original
batteries or battery chargers.

Battery recharging procedure

Battery charging is managed directly from the head board. The charging cables carry 12 V DC
voltage directly from the PC power unit.
The batteries may also be charged by connecting the sensors to the central unit with the
emergency cables.
The possible signals displayed by the sensor head during charging are described as follows.
• Green LED on: charging in progress;
• Yellow LED on: charging error;
• both LEDs off and sensor head working: battery charged;
• both LEDs off and sensor head not working: battery faulty or absent

Run-down process

For maximum durability and optimum operation, the NiMH type batteries used in the wheel
balancer sensor heads must be periodically run-down.
