• wait for the data acquisition and for the turn-right arrows to appear;
• turn the wheels to the right (relative to the centre position) until the "STOP" message appears;
• wait for the data acquisition and for turn-left arrows to appear;
• turn the wheels once again to the left to straighten the steering.
The standard procedure detects the steering angle using the measuring head goniometers.
If the full steering procedure has been selected, proceed as follows:
• release the turntables;
• align the wheels by following the on-screen indicator until "STOP" is displayed;
Note: if the vehicle on which the measurements are being made has very low front and rear
spoilers, preventing the measuring heads' transverse goniometers from making a reading, the
software will display a warning message prompting use of the spoiler procedure, and the
program will continue from the spoiler procedure selection window.
Reset the graduated scale in order to measure
•
• lock all measuring heads perfectly level;
• turn the wheels to the left until the "STOP" message appears;
• wait for the data acquisition;
• turn the wheels further to the left until the steering wheel locks;
• read the graduated scale on the turntables, the internal (left wheel) and external (right wheel)
maximum steering angle and enter the read values in the corresponding fields on the relevant
data input window.
• turn the wheels to the right (relative to the centre position) until the "STOP" message appears;
• wait for the data acquisition;
• turn the wheels further to the right until the steering wheel locks;
• read the graduated scale on the turntables, the internal (right wheel) and external (left wheel)
maximum steering angle and enter the read values in the corresponding fields on the relevant
data input window.
• turn the wheels back to the left to straighten the steering.
The maximum steering procedure requires the use of turntables with suitably sized graduated scale.
At the end of the steering procedure, a screen appears with icons indicating the operations to
be performed next:
Position the steering wheel with the spokes straight
Lock the steering wheel
If the steering box recording function is enabled, the program will display the icons shown
below, indicating the operations to be carried out:
Measure the angle of difference between the current steering box position and
the steering wheel straight position.
Remove the steering wheel.
Put the steering wheel back in place with the spokes straight.
Lock the steering wheel.
