4 DATA BANK AND TOKEN INSTALLATION IN THE ALIGNER SW
N.B.: before proceeding with the data bank installation, double check that the aligner
program is updated to the latest version available (see chapter 2).
4.1 Selecting the type of installation
Depending on the condition of the SW it may be necessary to carry out two different installation
paths.
To understand which procedure to carry out, see the keys present on the initial page of the program.
If the following keys are shown (data bank update or Dummy Mode):
The wheel aligner is working with old data bank or in “Dummy Mode” (only one generic vehicle is
showed with no data and no databank loaded). Loading in this wheel aligner the token and the data
bank means that the wheel aligner is ready to work with its data bank.
If this is your case, proceed with the installation described in chapter 4.2.
If the following keys are shown (F3, the yellow button with dots):
This page occurs because it is the first time that the wheel aligner software is installed on a new or
formatted PC.

To proceed with the installation of the token and the data bank on the equipment, see chapter 4.
N.B.: to proceed with the installation of the data bank, be sure to have on the USB drive one and only one
folder called AS9 and that it contains the files shown above.

7 POSSIBLE ISSUES
7.1 USB drive not plugged
If the icon of the USB drive is shown with a red cross on it, then the USB drive is not correctly plugged
on the wheel aligner PC.
Check that the USB drive is well plugged on the wheel aligner PC.
Press F1 to go back to the logo page. Now press CTRL+W to exit the wheel aligner program. Open
the USB drive folder. If the USB drive doesn’t work, change the USB drive and repeat the procedure
described in chapters 3 or 5.
7.2 AS9 folder missing, empty or in wrong position
If it is not possible to see the buttons F3 and F4, then the folder AS9 has not been created correctly
inside the USB drive, as explained in this manual.
To create the AS9 folder, follow the procedure described in chapters 3 or 5.

Cod. M0251 ‐ Rev. 2.4
(03/2022)
7.3 Data bank missing or more than one AS9 folder in the USB drive
If the button F4 is not shown, then:
1. Inside the folder AS9 created in the USB drive there are no data bank files.
To have them, follow the procedure described in chapters 3 or 5.
2. Inside the USB drive there are more than one AS9 folders.
Delete the unnecessary AS9 folders and create only one, as described in chapters 3 or 5.
7.4 Wrong or missing database
If the page warning that the database is wrong or missing appears on screen, proceed as follow:
1. Check which database has not been found by the system. Its name is written in the right side of the
screen.
2. Check that the software version installed is the most updated (see chapter 2).
3. Check that in the USB drive, inside the AS9 folder, there is the file that has the same name as the
missing database (see chapters 3 or 5).
4. Correct where necessary and repeat the data bank installation (see chapter 4).

8 ACTIVATION AND UPDATE OF SW & DB "ONLINE" IN-
SOFTWARE
This chapter describes the new functionality, available only in software higher than 5.0.0, called
“DATABASE ONLINE”, that will allow the download of the updated databases and tokens, as well as
the SW updates, directly from the aligner program (chap. 8.1).
The feature “DATABASE ONLINE” also allows the first activation of the equipment (see chapter 8.2),
with no need to use an internet browser and perform the manual procedure (described in chapter
3 and following). This is when the warranty period starts.
It’s also possible to re‐set the equipment from the beginning (chapter 8.3), even if the “Config” file,
usually provided by the manufacturer in a USB drive with the equipment, is not present.
IMPORTANT! The PC of the equipment must have a functioning internet connection, that has to be
set by the customer. Only in this case the page “Database Management” (see chapter. 8.1) will show
the button F2 , that will connect directly to the manufacturer’s Database server.

9 ACTIVATION OF THE “ON-LINE” ALIGNMENT SW FOR
CARDLESS PC
The activation of equipment without a smartcard
reader must be done "ON‐LINE".
Just enter the serial number and associated
authorisation code to correctly configure the set‐
up model.
An internet connection is required to do this.
The serial number and associated code are
indicated in the document provided with the
equipment and is also included in a .pdf file on the
USB key supplied with the alignment
software.
This operation is normally performed in the factory.
It is described below because it must be repeated if the operating system needs to be reset or the
software reinstalled on the same PC.
The activation procedure can be performed multiple times, but only on the original PC to avoid
illegal installations.
If you need to install the software on another PC because the original one crashes for example, you
must ask the manufacturer for a "REINSTALLATION CODE" which allows the serial number to be re‐
associated (One‐shot code), and can only be used once ‐ See chap. 0 ‐ Reactivation of the alignment
software on different PCs than the original.
Page 54/57DATABANK WEB SITE
Cod. M0251 ‐ Rev. 2.4
(03/2022)
To activate the PC on‐line, SW 5.1.0 or later must be installed, and an internet connection must be
available.
Press the F4 key on the home page
Enter the machine serial number and authorisation code, the information is indicated in the
hardcopy document and also in a file (named S9CRDL99999641.pdf or 3DCRDL99999641.pdf, for
example) on the USB key provided with the alignment software
Press the F5 key to confirm
Page 55/57DATABANK WEB SITE
Cod. M0251 ‐ Rev. 2.4
(03/2022)
Confirm the activation with the F4 key.
The program restarts automatically and displays the page shown below.
The equipment is now correctly configured. You must now complete the activation by transmitting
the data required for initiating the manufacturer’s warranty.
Press the F4 key and follow the indications in chap. 8.2
Reactivation of the alignment software on different PCs than the original
The activation of the equipment, using the serial number and authorisation code supplied, is only
possible on the original PC.
If the PC crashes and needs to be replaced, you must ask the manufacturer for a “RE‐INSTALLATION
CODE” which allows the original serial number (One‐shot code), which can be used only once, to be
re‐associated.
Enter the “one‐shot code” supplied by the manufacturer
(the original code cannot be used on another PC)
Press F5
The procedure to complete the activation to
initiate the warranty (see chap. Errore. L'origine
riferimento non è stata trovata.) was carried out
beforehand. Do not, therefore, perform other
ti
Attention: This code has limited validity and must be used within 24 hours of its creation.

10 “SMART CARD” CLONING ON CARDLESS SYSTEMS
Equipment originally operating with the SMARTCARD protection system in the event of a reader or
smartcard failure, may need a replacement reader device and/or smartcard, a valid authorisation
code for the on‐line activation of the cardless PC.
To be able to receive the authorisation code for “on‐line” activation, you must communicate the
following to the manufacturer:
‐ equipment serial number
‐ original number of the faulty SMART CARD
‐ email address to which the code will be sent
When the manufacturer receives the order, a document will be sent
with the serial number of the equipment and an associated
authorisation code.
The requirements defined on the original Smartcard (database
version, and any options such as Shoot & Go, ADAS, TEqLink, etc.),
will be “cloned” (identical reset) on the new authorisation code.
To be able to use the alignment SW, you will need to install SW 5.1.0 or later, so remove the
smartcard reader which is no longer necessary and perform the “on‐line” SW activation as described
in chap. 9.
