Functions & Facilities
The functions and facilities of the brake tester in alphabetical order.
Automatic operation (not for UK MOT use)
In automatic operational mode, the brake tester will start automatically when a
wheel set is driven onto the rollers and stop either when the wheels lock, when stop
is pressed or when driving out of the rollers.
When the brake tester is turned on it is in automatic mode.
It changes to manual mode when registering a vehicle on the PC.
It returns to automatic operational mode after having concluded a test
or after having pressed PRINT.
If STOP has been pressed so that the AUT and MAN lights are lit.
The brake tester will not start up automatically when driving a wheel
set onto the rollers. Then press STOP again before driving onto the
rollers.
Imbalance
In manual operational mode: Press DAFF after having started the rollers. The
difference of braking effect between the left and right wheel is indicated by the
positions of the pointers. The result is shown at the bottom display (as %).
In automatic operational mode: The imbalance is shown when the brake force
exceeds 40 kgf.
You toggle between imbalance and air pressure by pressing AIR and DAFF.
One-wheel operation (accessory).
In one-wheel operation one wheel is rotating whilst the other is stationary.
Press TEST and START. Choose the wheel by using UP for the left wheel and
DOWN for the right one. The display shows which one has been chosen. Press
START to start the chosen wheel.
One wheel operation is used for MOT testing and to test damaged vehicles.
Four-wheel operation. (accessory).
The brake tester can be fitted with a facility to test four-wheel drive vehicles. This
makes it possible to test one wheel whilst the other wheel on the same axle is
reversing to avoid that the torque is transmitted to other axles during the test.
Brake force is measured only on the non-reversing wheel.
Press 4WD. Drive the first set of wheels onto the rollers and press START. The
green light lights up on the side of the wheel to be tested and the relevant pointer
shows the brake force. Press OK to store the result. Press START to test the other
wheel and press OK to store the result.
