Section 11 — Balancing Rotors217Suggested Trial Weight Mass and LocationYour instrument can assist with balancing operations by calculating anappropriate trial weight mass and location for you.MORE: See Machine Information for help with calculating the trialweight mass.Manually Enter Balancing DataYou can enter amplitude and phase values manually for the initial, trial,and trim readings. Doing so enables you to:• Interrupt the balancing process without saving the values, thenre-enter these later and continue balancing.• Experiment with different trial weight masses and placementsto see the effect on the imbalance, without having to attachweights to the machine.• Calculate the effect of further trim balances.• Change the units used in a final balancing report by selectingdifferent units, then re-entering the collected values.To enter a value manually:1. Work through your balancing setup process as usual.2. Press to take a reading — The CH1 icon will display.NOTE: For a dual plane balance, the CH2 icon will also display.3. To enter your own values for CH1, press (or press for CH2for two channel measurements).4. Press to enter an amplitude value > Press to enter aphase value.5. Press twice to exit and return to the Initial, Trial, or TrimReading menu and continue your balancing job.
