DSP 7700 Wheel Balancer
Purpose
This manual will assist service personnel in troubleshooting and repairing the
DSP 7700 Wheel Balancer.
Operation
When service is requested, it is important to verify that the unit is being used
properly. Always check for proper AC line voltage. For proper line voltages, refer to
“CPU/Display Board Test Pad Voltages,” page 6-1.
Read and become familiar with the contents of this manual before servicing the
DSP 7700 wheel balancer. It is also essential to have read and understood the
operation manual. Refer to “Operation Instructions DSP 7700 Wheel Balancer,” Form
4244T. Hands-on operation experience is recommended; try all the features, balance
a wheel, etc. Understanding the operation of the balancer will make servicing easier
and safer.
Hazard Definitions
Watch for these symbols:
These symbols identify situations that could be detrimental to your safety and/or
cause equipment damage.
Because components in this manual are referred to by Hunter part numbers, refer to
parts drawing 12-13, for parts identification.
Purpose Of Components
The spindle encoder board, 45-863-1, operates with the movement of the slotted
spindle encoder disk, 17-63-2, providing two square waves and a home pulse to the
CPU/Display board, 45-867-1. The two square waves occur in “quadrature” or 90
degrees out of phase with each other. Refer to illustration.

WAVES
1/512
REVOLUTION

0V
The CPU/Display board senses the order and frequency of the edges to determine
the direction and speed of the shaft. Each passing of a slot in the disk through a
detector causes a high (+5V) and low (0V) edge on each channel. There are 128
slots in the disk, so the position of the shaft is determined to 128 x 2 edges x 2
channels, or 512 positions. There are three, red LED’s on the board for visual
checking of the two channels and the home pulse.
There are two force transducers, 109-87-3. A ceramic element located between the
two steel caps, produces voltage change when the force upon the caps is changed.
The transducers receive force vibrations (due to the rotating imbalance) through the
welded steel structure. Also on each transducer is a temperature sensor. The change
in temperature (since calibration) is calculated at every spin. The signals are then
compensated for any temperature-dependent system effects. The force transducer
signals are sent through the cables (these cables are a permanent part of the
transducers) to the CPU/Display board.
The knob board, 45-675-1, has a rotary encoder for manual entry of wheel
dimensions. The rotary encoder produces the same kind of signal as the spindle
encoder board, with the exception that the device uses mechanical switches (rather
than optics), and there is no home pulse. The direction and speed of the knob is
noted by the CPU/Display board for update of the dialed-in wheel settings.
The keypad overlay provides “key pressed” signals to the CPU/Display board by
connecting pins 1 through 9 to pin 10 (ground) of J2 on the CPU/Display board.
Refer to Appendix, “Wiring Diagrams and Schematics.”
The nine keys are scanned and the display is updated 200 times-per-second. One
LED display update requires 96 shifts of data “bits” (one for each LED). These 96
shifts occur every 1/200 of a second, while the DSP is scanning and responding to
the knob and switches.
When a spin starts, the DSP chip checks for locked rotor, excessive time to forward
rotation, excessive time to minimum speed, etc. The DSP chip also makes sure that
the following conditions are met during the spin:
Placement
The balancer should be placed in a dry area, which is not subjected to water spray.
Clearance for the operator at the front of the balancer should be at least 3 feet. The
electrical power cord should be positioned so that it cannot be walked on, driven
over, or tripped over.
Floor Requirements
The balancer should be placed on a solid concrete floor. Any floor condition, which
might allow the balancer to move during a spin, is unacceptable.
If the location selected is a cement floor that is hollow underneath, place the balancer
over a supporting beam or close to a supporting wall.
With the proper floor requirements, the DSP 7700 will perform well, with or without
being bolted to the floor. If desired, three of the hold-down hooks used during
shipment can be placed in the slots next to the feet to bolt the unit to the floor. Refer
to “Installation Instructions for Bolt-Down Kit,” Form 3667T.
Verify proper grounding of the unit by taking an ohm reading between the frame and
the ground pin of the power cord.
Remove the motor panel assembly and check the belt tension. Adjust to 50 lbs. + 5
lbs., if necessary. Refer to “Motor, Belt, and Pulley,” page 3-7.
Be certain that the balancer is turned off (“O” is depressed on the ON/OFF switch,
located on the motor panel assembly).
Turn the unit on by depressing the “I” side of the ON/OFF switch.
Press the START key. Verify that the shaft is turning clockwise when
viewing it from the end of the shaft.
Verify that the unit completes a balance cycle and the shaft brakes to a
stop.
If the shaft turns the wrong way, unplug the unit, unplug the motor wires
from the power board, and swap positions.
Check if each of the remaining keys function, causing a short beep. The
NEXT and ENTER keys can be checked by performing the “Set-Up”
procedure.
Check if the knob causes changes to the corresponding display wheel
dimension indicators.
Calibrate the balancer per the operation manual. Refer to “Operation
Instructions DSP 7700 Wheel Balancer,” Form 4244T.
Perform the “Calibration Check” procedure. Refer to “Quick Calibration
Check Procedure,” page 5-9.
If desired, perform the “Set-Up” procedure, programming the balancer
settings to the customer’s needs. Refer to “Operation Instructions DSP
7700 Wheel Balancer,” Form 4244T.
Check the spindle threads and lubricate them, if necessary. Clean the
spindle threads by running the edge of a rag between the threads, while
turning the spindle by hand. Lubricate the spindle shaft and wing nut
threads. A lubricant containing Teflon®, which evaporates leaving a long
lasting film of lubricant, such as SuperLube® by Permatex is
recommended.
Purpose
The intent of this section is to provide helpful information during servicing that may
not be obvious from part drawings.
CAUTION: Removal of the radius arm will result in the loss of the
manual and optional auto dataset calibration and will break
the factory Loctite seal.

ON/OFF Switch, 18-270-2
To remove the ON/OFF switch, reach inside the cabinet and push out on the switch,
while depressing one of the molded plastic tabs on the switch. This will disengage
the switch from the mounting hole. Pull out a portion of the wiring harness through
the mounting hole and disconnect the old switch.
Connect the new switch to the wiring harness. On the new switch, there are two sets
of terminals separated by a plastic rib. Plug the black wire (from L1 on the DC drive
board) and white wire (from L2 on the DC drive board) into one set of terminals, and
plug the tan and gray wires (from power source) into the other. Refer to illustration
below for connections.

Spindle Encoder Board and Bracket Assembly, 45-863-1
When plugging-in and unplugging the connector to the encoder board bracket
assembly, support the board by hand to avoid deflecting the bracket. This could
make the optical switches on the board press against the brass encoder disk and
possibly bend the encoder disk.
It is important that the cable be secured properly to prevent contact with the pulley
and belt.
Do not remove the two screws holding the board to the mounting bracket, as they are
pre-adjusted at the factory. To install the assembly, slide the three optical switches
on the PC board over the brass spindle encoder disk, 17-63-2, inside the pulley
section of the spindle.

MOUNTING
SCREWS
Turn the spindle by hand, looking, and listening for any contact between
components. Bend the bracket, if necessary, to ensure that the board does not rub
on the spindle and that the encoder disk does not rub on the optical switches.
Turn the balancer on and check for proper optical switch operation by observing the
three LED’s on the PC board while turning the spindle clockwise as viewed from the
end of the spindle. The LED’s should flash as shown in the illustration below.

DSP 7700 Wheel Balancer Service Manual Removal, Installation, and Adjustment of Components • 3-3
If the LED’s do not operate correctly, remove the bracket assembly, but leave the
cable plugged-in. While holding the encoder assembly by the bracket, turn on the
balancer and block each optical switch with a business card. The LED corresponding
to each switch should turn ON when blocked.
If the board functions, but the installed assembly does not produce the proper LED
sequence, the position of the assembly must be adjusted. If LED-3 sequences with
LED-1 and LED-2, the board is too close to the spindle centerline. Loosen the two
mounting screws of the bracket and adjust the assembly until LED-3 turns off once
per revolution of the shaft. If LED-3 never turns off, the board is located too far from
the spindle centerline. If the board must be moved closer to the spindle centerline,
loosen the two mounting screws of the bracket and adjust the assembly.
The DSP 7700 has automatic encoder signal checking at every spin. Refer to
“Display Error Codes,” page 5-6.
“EPROM”
Remove and discard the old EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
from U2 position on the CPU/Display board, 45-867-1. Install the new EPROM with
the notched end facing in the same direction as indicated by the notch printed in
white ink on the PC board. Refer to illustration.

EPROM.
Calibrate the unit per the Operation Manual. Refer to “Operation Instructions DSP
7700 Wheel Balancer,” Form 4244T.
Perform the Set-Up Procedure (select the display programmables) per the Operation
Manual. Refer to “Operation Instructions DSP 7700 Wheel Balancer,” Form 4244T. If
error codes appear, refer to “Display Error Codes,” page 5-6.
Cables
If replacing a cable, which is routed through the weight tray, be sure to re-route the
new cable through the same hole in the same manner.
The spindle encoder cable should be installed with end marked “This end to DSP BD
J5” at J5 of the CPU/Display board. This ensures that the cable shield connection
originates at the CPU/Display board and not the encoder board.

Clean the mounting surfaces so that the ball sockets and ceramic ball are completely
free of any dirt or debris. Install the new transducer, making sure that the flat surface
area (if present) of the ball is not contacting the ball seat as illustrated below:
YES NO NO
Move the transducer in small arcs to allow the ball and transducer to become seated.
Position the assembly so that the long edge of the board is parallel with the floor
(excessive angle will cause the board to contact the weight tray, upsetting the
imbalance vibration readings).
Plug the cable connector into J8 of the DSP board for a left transducer, or into J7 for
a right transducer.
The sliding Dataset arm must be installed parallel with the main shaft to operate
properly. Rotate the arm to the down position to verify that the reading is still within
one digit of the 295 calibration reading.
Install the Auto Dataset system using the same screws previously removed.
If Auto Dataset potentiometers are faulty, the Auto Dataset Potentiometer Assembly
should be replaced as a unit. Refer to “Inner Auto Dataset Potentiometer Assembly
Replacement,” page 3-6.

It is also possible to use the potentiometer test pad voltages on the DSP
board to “center” the potentiometers. Display reading 00 00H
corresponds to zero volts at the potentiometer test pad. “POT 1” test pad
is the diameter (TP10) potentiometer, “POT 2” is the distance (TP9)
potentiometer.
To “Center” the distance potentiometer (adjust potentiometer shaft for mid-rotation
when the Dataset arm is pulled halfway out):
Put the balancer in diagnostic mode and advance to display variable 26.
This will give a real-time reading of the distance potentiometer value,
followed by an “H” (which indicates hexadecimal format).
Pull the arm out to scale at 230.
With the scale at 230, lift the distance potentiometer off the rack just
enough to rotate the gear. Rotate the gear to obtain display reading
between 00 00H and 00 09H.
Set the potentiometer and gear back onto the rack. Pull the arm in and
out, making sure that the display shows 00 00H at approximately mid
rack travel.
1. Position the end of the indicator flush with the scale of the belt
tension tool.
2. Place the index finger inside the rubber finger strap of the belt
tension tool.
3. Position the belt tension tool on the section of belt between the
motor and the spindle.
4. Push down on the belt tension tool until the tool clicks.
5. Read belt tension where the top edge of the arm crosses the scale.
Refer to the above illustration.
6. Belt tension should be set to 50 ft-lb., ± 5 ft-lb.

2. Using a small pry bar, move the motor to obtain the correct tension
on the belt. To decrease belt tension, move the motor upward. To
increase belt tension, move the motor downward.
3. Hold the motor in place and tighten four motor mount bolts.
4. Verify proper belt tension and readjust, if necessary.
5. Secure the motor panel assembly to the base assembly using two
screws previously removed.
Connect AC power cord to the power supply.
Verify the motor’s rpm as follows:
1. Press and hold the “Next” and “Enter” keys while turning the unit on.
2. Press the “Start” key.
3. The rpm of the motor will display on the console. It should be 150
rpm ± 2 rpm.
If necessary, adjust the motor speed as follows:
1. Remove two screws securing the motor panel assembly to the base
assembly.
CAUTION: Do not touch any components of the circuit board, other than
the potentiometer, while the balancer is plugged into the
electrical supply.

4 . Diagnostics Mode
The DSP 7700 uses the Hexadecimal system to show diagnostic values instead of
the decimal system. The Hexadecimal system is based on units of sixteen rather
than units of ten that the decimal system uses:
DECIMAL SYSTEM:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17...
HEX SYSTEM:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 11...
EX: DECIMAL SYSTEM 6298
Press the NEXT key while the “Standard” LED is lit to see the first diagnostics value
(1 should appear, alternating with a five character value across the weight amount
indicators). If the NEXT key does not respond this way, both outer keys were not held
down firm enough during power-up, (the balancer responded to only one of the keys,
initiating normal balancer operation).
Each press of the NEXT key will present a five character value across the weight
amount indicators. The corresponding index will alternate with that number.
Each character of a displayed value can be the numbers 0 through 9 or the letters A,
b, C, d, E, or F. The last character is always “H” which stands for “hex” format
characters.
The following is an example of the characters as they appear on the display screen:
For example, DSP 7700 software version 1.0.0, has twenty-nine diagnostics
variables which might show on the screen as shown in the table below:
. 00 01H 0001 1
. 00 00H 0000 0
. FF FFH FFFF -1
After the last diagnostics value has been presented, pressing the NEXT key will return
the unit to the normal weight displays. Be sure to turn the balancer off and then back
on when finished with the diagnostics mode.
In diagnostic calibration, all the limits are tighter, especially for the temperature
sensors on each transducer. “CAL Err” is acceptable to appear on a balancer that
always shows “CAL rdy” if calibrating while not in diagnostics mode.
Pre-Troubleshooting Checklist
When service is requested, it is important to verify that the balancer is being used
properly.
Verify that the “blind” is set to a value larger than the “round.” Refer to “Setup
Procedure in Diagnostics Mode,” page 4-3.
Verify that the calibration weight studs are not loose or bent.
Was the “enter TDC” step 2 of the calibration procedure performed correctly?
Is the wheel shifting position during the spin without the operator realizing it? The
wing nut may not be tight enough. A two handed “rocking” motion of the wheel is
recommended.
Is the wheel shifting its position during the spin because of dry spindle and wing nut
threads? When the threads are not well lubricated, a large portion of the effort to turn
the wing nut goes into overcoming the thread friction, instead of pushing the wheel
against the balancer hub faceplate. It may feel tight, but it is not pushing the wheel
against the hub to nearly the same degree as if the threads were lubricated.
Is the wheel shifting position during the spin because of excessive oil or debris on the
hub faceplate or wheel? Make sure these surfaces are clean and dry.
NOTE: The customer should not coat the hub surface with oil to
keep it from rusting.
Is the wheel (especially a large wheel) centered properly? Check for proper centering
by holding the Dataset arm tip near, but not touching the rim lip while turning the
wheel. Look for up and down movement of the rim with respect to the stationary
Dataset arm tip. Large wheels are more difficult to center due to the extra weight
having to travel up the cone.
Make sure the cones are not dry and that the wheel is “rolling” as the wing nut is
tightened. This lets the pilot hole roll, instead of slide, while it travels up the wheel
cone.
Try lifting the wheel as the wing nut is being tightened.
On very heavy wheels, try wheel coning from the outside of the wheel. This forces
the cone into the pilot hole by the full wing nut force instead of just the spring
pressure.
Is the wheel bent? Check by holding the Dataset arm tip close-to, but not touching
the rim lip while turning the wheel. Look for left and right movement of the rim with
respect to the stationary Dataset arm tip. If the wheel is bent, the dialed-in Dataset
reference setting on the display is only correct for one spot (where the wheel was
measured). A weight placed at any other angular location will be in error and result in
residual imbalance amounts.
Check for debris accumulating inside of the spindle spring mechanism.
Check for physical damage to wheel cones, cup, and wing nut.
NOTE: Test pads TP9 and TP10 are coated, therefore it will be
necessary to “poke” through the coating with the meter
probe.
The balancer spindle travel from steps 1 and 2 is used in the calibration, so the
spindle encoder board must be plugged-in to obtain a successful Dataset calibration.
Spindle angle travel between cal steps 1 and 2 is used to determine to high accuracy
the distance between the spindle centerline and Dataset arm shaft centerline. This
makes the diameter reading accurate to 0.1 inch, yet does not require a fixed vertical
or horizontal mounting distance of the arm relative to the spindle. The arm does
need to be parallel with the spindle, however. To check for parallel, touch the arm tip
to the back of a cone with the arm in the up position, and then in the down position.
If the scale readings vary by 3mm or more, report this to the Service Center. The arm
can be repositioned by filing a slot in the leftmost mounting hole on the front of the
balancer, allowing the rear of he Dataset arm to be moved up or down.
Put the balancer in diagnostic mode and advance to display variable 31.
Refer to “Diagnostics Mode,” page 4-1. Write down the value in variable
31. This is the potentiometer value recorded from the last arm
calibration, at which the trigger should occur due to the diameter
potentiometer.
Change to display variable 27 (real time inner diameter potentiometer
reading) and observe if reading 31 occurs when the arm is rotated
slightly upward from the home (storage) position. If so, the problem is
somewhere else.

Leave cal weight installed and spin again. Remember that “cal err” may appear since
all limits are tighter, but this is not a problem because the calibration is saved in the
diagnostic mode (pass or fail).
Check limits of variables 3 and 7 as shown above. This must be done after
calibration to be of diagnostic value.
Turn balancer off, then back on while pressing the outer two keys to enable

After drift symptoms reappear, repeat steps and compare new variables for 3 and 7
to previously recorded variables. It is important that the ambient temperature be
close to that at the time of the beginning of the test. If not, normal temperature effects
on the force crystals will be mistaken for drift.
The numbers should not be different by more than 1%. Replace corresponding
transducer if required.
NOTE: Newly installed transducers may “settle in” for a week after
being compressed. Calibration may be required daily for the
first week.
