Control Panel Quick Reference
Screen Saver Mode (Video)
By default, the 1250 video version wheel balancer is
shipped with the screen saver mode set to dim the dis-
play back light after a period of inactivity (20 minutes).
Press and hold the SHIFT key and press 0; then 18 to
cycle through the screen saver modes. For each
mode, the balancer will display a short demo of the
active back light option. The mode options are as fol-
lows:
In most cases, to reactive the back light, just mount-
ing a wheel, rotating the wheel or pressing a key will
provide the input to wake the balancer back up.
Weight Display and Weight Position
Windows
Two weight display windows, one inboard and one
outboard, are positioned above the wheel cross sec-
tion diagram. After a wheel measurement cycle, the
balancer calculates the corrective weight amount and
indicates it in the appropriate display window. All
weight readings are shown in ounces or grams.
The “ Total Static” window indicates the value of the
total static unbalance. See MATCH BALANCE
(Optimization) on page 16 for further details.
Located on either side of the wheel cross section dia-
gram are the weight position bars, one inboard and
one outboard. After a measurement cycle, rotate
wheel until the center weight position bar blinks, indi-
cating the correct weight placement position is at top-
dead-center.
Note: When in laser mode (T2-Tape Laser Locator),
special blinking bars appear on either side of the cen-
ter bar to indicate the correct outboard weight place-
ment position. Also remember that the laser beam dot
will stop blinking when it is at the correct weight place-
ment location.
