1.1
Introduction
The IW4/IW7 WB/WBV (4WD) belong to the group of roller brake testers.
This class includes two different measuring methods to record brake forces:
! the testing of drive torque or
! the testing of drive power.
The former is applied in the MAHA IW4/IW7 WB/WBV (4WD) brake tester. The
IW4/IW7 WB/WBV (4WD) consists of a proven roller set and an open-ended electronic system
based on a processor board with an integral operating system.
The standard test stand may be expanded to a complete test line by using the MAHA
accessories.
1.2
General Information about Brake Testing
To avoid skidding it is important that the brake forces of the individual wheels of one axle are the
same. Just as important is the minimum brake torque for each individual wheel, so that when
braking no vehicle brake is overburdened. Consequently, each wheel is tested individually on the
brake tester.
For measuring the brake force, a static and a dynamic method are available. Using the static
method the force necessary to rotate a wheel which is positioned on a plate, with applied brakes
is determined. The dynamic method is more practice orientated - whereby the wheel is brought
up to a predetermined RPM by the motor driven roller set and then the brakes are applied. A
sensor roller measures the wheel revolutions. A comparison of the drive roller RPM to the
sensor roller RPM determines how large the slippage is. For safety reasons, all MAHA brake
testers automatically interrupt the brake test at a slippage of approximately 30%.
The measurement principle is the same for both methods of testing. The drive motor is
supported in a rotary fashion (motor housing not supported); without any additional support, the
drive shaft and the housing would counter rotate when under load, depending on the force
distribution. The additional support consists of a flexible beam, on which the housing rests. The
steel beam bends corresponding to the torque produced by the motor, which the beam resists.
The torque is zero at the beginning of the static test. With the dynamic test method, the torque is
just high enough to set the drive rollers with the vehicle wheel in motion with the brakes not
applied.
A strain gauge is mounted on the transverse beam which converts the brake force into a usable
electrical value.
For the IW4/IW7 WB/WBV (4WD)) brake tester the dynamic test method is used. This method
ensures the most accurate measurement. There is simply no alternative for 4 wheel drive brake
testing.

IW4/IW7 WB/WBV
1.2.1
Vehicle with a Driven Axle
Drive the wheel axle to be tested onto the roller set. This will push both sensors rollers down
which measure the RPM of the wheels. Now both drive motors of the roller set will slowly
accelerated to nominal speed turning both vehicle wheels forward. When the drive motors have
reached nominal speed a comparison is made between the nominal drive roller speed and the
sensor roller speed in order to be able, at any time, to switch off the drive motors when a
slippage of 30% is exceeded. (This is to protect the drive motors against overload and the tires
against excessive wear.)
The READY indicator will light up, signaling that the test rig is ready to start the brake test.
During brake tests the vehicle is decelerated to a point, that at least one sensor roller exceeds
30% slippage and the drive motors are switched off.
1.2.2
4-Wheel Drive Vehicle
On non-permanent 4-wheel drive vehicles the brakes are tested with the 4-wheel drive switched
off, just like vehicles with only one drive axle.
Principle of 4 Wheel Drive
On 4-wheel drive vehicles the torque applied to the drive shaft is evenly distributed to all four
wheels, i.e. a quarter of the total torque will be applied to each wheel. The same applies for the
brake torques that arise when braking. When testing 4 wheel drive vehicles it must therefore be
ensured that no brake torque will be transferred from one vehicle wheel to the other. This is
accomplished if no torque is applied to the drive shaft of the differential during the brake test.
The following example will explain this in detail:
In order to simulate a defective brake, one brake is disabled. Now only one brake of the axle to
be tested is enabled. If the brake test is done on a standard test stand where the torque is not
eliminated from the drive shaft, the same force applies to the strain gauges of both drive motors,
i.e. the same brake torque will be indicated. This would lead to the false assumption that the
brakes are fully intact. If the test was conducted correctly, no brake torque would be indicated for
the wheel with the disabled brake and the actual brake torque applied to the other wheel would
appear.
If both wheels of the axle to be tested are rotating forward during the brake test, the vehicle will
be lifted out of the test rig, as torque is transferred by the drive shaft to the wheels of the other
vehicle axle. To prevent this, the wheels counter rotate with the same RPM, one vehicle wheel is
driven in forward direction and the other wheel in reverse direction. This eliminates the torque
built-up in the differential against the drive shaft and transmission of torque to the other vehicle
axle.

IW4/IW7 WB/WBV
Description
As the brake characteristics depend on the rotating direction of the wheels (the brake linings and
brake drums are ground in forward direction), only the brake torque of the wheel rotating in
forward direction is measured. For this reason, the brake test has to be done separately for each
wheel.
In order to obtain a reliable comparision between the brake forces of both wheels of the same
axle, the same pedal force will have to be applied at the brake test of the left and right wheel. To
accomplish this, a pedal force meter can be connected to the vehicle's brake pedal.
It is also possible to measure the current pressure Pm of the hydraulic brake by means of a
pressure sensor.
Testing of various 4-wheel drive types
There are three different types of 4-wheel drives:
a) Disengageable drive shaft leading to the differential
b) Visco-clutch (VC) in the drive shaft leading to the differential
c) Rigid drive shaft between the differentials
a) Disengageable drive shaft leading to the differential
On vehicles equipped with non-permanent 4-wheel drive, the brakes are tested with the 4-wheel
drive switched off, just like vehicles with only one drive axle.
b) Visco-clutch (VC) in the drive shaft leading to the differential
There are two different Visco-clutch types. The soft Visco clutch has a higher torsibility
(viscosity) than the hard Visco clutch, therefore no torque is transferred to the other wheels
when the drive shaft rotation is low.

Description
IW4/IW7 WB/WBV
As described above, brake tests on 4-wheel drive vehicles are feasible if both wheels on the
same axle counter-rotate at the same speed. As, in practice, the circumference of the left and
right wheel is not exactly the same due to different tire tread depths and uneven tire pressure,
the RPM of the two drive motors is normally different. Therefore the drive motors must control
their speed in order to obtain the same RPM for both wheels.
Approximately the same speed of the roller set drive motors will be sufficient for a 4-wheel drive
vehicle having a soft VISCO clutch in the drive shaft as no brake torque is transferred by the
VISCO clutch when the drive shaft rotation is low. Therefore the speed control of the drive
motors alone will be sufficient in this case.
Contrary to the above, when testing the brakes of 4-wheel drive vehicle having a hard VISCO
clutch in the drive shaft both wheels on the same axle must rotate synchronously during the
brake test, as the clutch viscosity is so low that even the slowest rotation of the drive shaft will
transfer brake torque to the other wheels through the VISCO clutch.
c) Rigid drive shaft between the differentials
To perform a brake test on a 4-wheel drive vehicle having a rigid drive shaft, the wheel rotations
must be exactly controlled in such a way that no brake torque can be transferred by the drive
shaft.
Controlling the synchroneous rotation of the wheels
In order to control synchronous rotation of the wheels, reflector strips are fastened to the sides
of the wheels which trigger a signal via two photo-electric cells, mounted on the side of the roller
set.
On vehicles equipped with a rigid drive shaft or with a hard Visco clutch the wheels cannot be
individually turned. If one vehicle wheel is turned forward in the roller set, the other wheel (on the
same axle) will be turning backwards in a synchronous manner. If one wheel is turned slowly in
forward or backward direction, one will note that the other wheel starts turning with a little delay.
This slight delay in following the other wheel to turn is caused by the gear play (backslash of
teeth) inside of the differential.
To perform a brake test on a 4-wheel drive vehicle having a rigid drive shaft, the wheel rotation
must be controlled in such a way that no brake torque can be transferred by the drive shaft. This
is achieved by staying within the gear play of the differential during the brake test. The
differential will be in a "balance" state.

IW4/IW7 WB/WBV
Description
To be able to effectively use this, the exact backlash of teeth is assessed in a learning mode:
Initially the left drive motor will be switched on to accelerate the left vehicle wheel to nominal
speed. As the right drive motor is switched off and thus running free, the left wheel is dragging
the right wheel along. The flanks of a tooth in the differential touch each other on one side. Now
the first limit position of gear play is measured by the reflector strips and the photo electric cells.
The procedure is now reversed, the left drive motor of the roller set is switched off and the right
vehicle wheel is accelerated to nominal speed. This time the left wheel is dragged along and in
the differential the flanks of teeth touch each other on the opposite side. The second limit
position of the gear play will now be measured. Out of the two measured limit positions the
center of gear play is calculated. This "center of gear play" is used to control the rotation of
wheels during the brake test.
During the brake test, both drive motors are accelerated to a speed where the "center of gear
play" is reached. One vehicle wheel will rotate forward, the other in opposite direction. As soon
as the nominal speed is reached by both wheels, and no brake torque is being transferred to the
drive shaft, brake testing may be started.
As with standard vehicles the drive motors will be switched off if excessive slip occurs.

Preparations for a Brake Test
The procedures described here are for normal operation of 4 wheel drive test stands. (4 wheel
drive switch to position "0"). There is a seperate description available for the 4 wheel drive
test. (See Tele-BPS II + RCF 30 operating manual).
If the test stand is equipped with an internal scale no weight may burden the roller set when the
test stand is switched on. Otherwise the weighing electronic will store this switch on weight as an
Offset value and the measurement will be distorted.
! Enable main switch
The needle of the display will complete an offset balance and return to zero.
! Press POWER ON key
Press POWER ON button or the '*' key on the remote control.
The white POWER ON lamp should now be lit up. The needles will again adjust and return to
zero. The test stand is now ready for operation!!
On test stands without a PC-console but equipped with a DIN A4-printer which is offline or
defective, the message "Printer defective (ONLINE?)" will appear after switch-on. If the test
should be carried out without the printer, the printer can be de-activated by pressing the Power
On button again.
! Select the measuring range (optional)
If the test stand is equipped with a manual measurement range button, use it to select the
desired measurement range. The integrated green lamp will light up when the large
measurement range is selected.
! Conduct a single-wheel test (optional)
Test stand which are not equipped with a remote control have a single wheel switch which
facilitates single wheel testing. Depending on the test stand version the Power-On key must
be pressed after a single wheel test.
The rollers will start up automatically after a single wheel test when the switch has been re-set to
the 0 position.
3.5
Running a Brake Test
The manufacturer does not accept any liability claims for damage to low lying vehicle parts.
Drive first axle to be tested onto the roller set switch into idle. After the delayed start-up, the
motors will be started individually. Should the motors switch off again immediately, the start-up
monitor has been triggered to protect your vehicle and/or its tires against damage. One or both
wheels may be jammed (seized bearings, jammed brake pads, etc.).

IW4/IW7 WB/WBV
Operations
3.5.1
Determining the Roller Resistance
Before the brake pedal is applied, check needles for roller resistance. The roller resistance can
have various values depending on vehicle type and load:
Car ca. 0,1 bis 0,6 kN
Truck ca. 0,5 bis 4,0 kN
The left-hand roller resistance should be approximately the same as the right-hand resistance. If
large differences exist, a bearing might be faulty or a brake be jammed.
If the roller resistance of one or both wheels is so excessive that tire damage by the rollers may
be anticipated or if the brake pedal has already been depressed, the start-up monitor will be
triggered when the wheel is started, immediately switching the test stand off.
3.5.2
Ovality Test (optional)
The ovality test serves to determine the quality of the brakes. "Ovality" defines faulty concentric
running of a wheel, e.g. out of round due to brake drum or disk brake deformation.
After the motors have started, wait until the yellow READY lamp lights up. The brake test can
now be started.
!
Apply moderate force to the brake pedal
Apply moderate force to the brake pedal - approx. half of the max. brake
force (switch-off value) and maintain brake force constant for at least one
wheel revolution. The needles in the display will show the ovality value.
The difference between the maximum and minimum display value of the
needle is ovaIity in kN.
!
Press Ovality key
If a remote control is being used for testing, the ovality key must remain pressed
for one entire wheel revolution. The ovality is automatically stored with the brake
values.
Ovality Measurement
Fig. 3-7: The ovality measurement
The ovality value should not exceed 20% of the constant brake force. This value only represents
a suggested guideline and is not based on any legal regulation.

3.5.3
Maximum Brake Force Test
On test stands with brake force application limiter (optional), the motors switch
off automatically if the brake pedal was depressed too fast, and/or the brake
force application limiter warning lamp lights up. In this case the vehicle must
be braked until the wheels block or, if this is not possible, the vehicle must exit
the roller set. Once the Ready-lamp lights up after the roller set is re-occupied
the brake force application limiter warning lamp will extinguish. Now the
test can be repeated. Make sure that braking is done slowly and constantly.
! Depress brake pedal completely.
Depress brake pedal slowly and evenly.
! Observe the instruments on the display panel
Observe the pointer instruments on the display cabinet. The pointers of the brake forces
should move forward corresponding to the applied pedal force.
! Terminate the measurement
As soon as one wheel has reached a slip of 30%, both rollers will be switched off. Now the
maximum brake force has been reached. This value will be displayed by the needles until the
motors are restarted (needle stop). Should the motor not switch off inspite of maximum pedal
force, the brake force reached at maximum pedal force is the maximum brake force.
On test stands equipped with a brake force application limiter (optional) the red "Application
limiter" lamp will be lit if the brake pedal is depressed too fast. In this case the test will have to be
repeated.
The ratio of maximum brake force of the service brake to the weight of the vehicle should not be
less than the legally permissable min. brake force!
Never drive a driven axle from the roller set unless both motors are running and the yellow
ready lamp is lit. This could lead to serious damage to the electrical and mechanical system of
the test stand!

3.6
Imbalance Display (Optional)
! Imbalance display
The imbalance display will show the
difference between the right-hand and left-
hand brake force in percentage (%). The
imbalance display will be activated when a
pre-set total brake force is reached.
The brake force difference should not
exceed the legal permissable value.
! Testing in the large measuring range
If a vehicle is tested using the large measurement range (measurement range switch-over on
the remote control or on the test stand) it can happen that the necessary trigger value to
activate the imbalance display is not reached because the attained brake forces were not
high enough. In this case, there will be no imbalance display.
3.7
Special Features on Test Stands with MB Mode
Selection of the operating mode
Test stands with MB-Mode are equipped with an operational selector switch making it possible
to switch between:
• "Automatic" :
the rollers will start up automatically after the switch-on time delay.and
• "Manual" :
the rollers are started one after the other manually by using the remote
control. Observe the green lamp which indicates in which operational mode the test stand is.
The green lamp will extinguish if the pit safety system is triggered.
Switching on the unoccupied test stand
The "Automatic" operational mode is started by turning on the main switch while the test stand is
unoccupied. Use the selector switch to switch to "Manual" operation.
Switching on the occupied test stand
The "Manual" operational mode is started by turning on the main switch while the test stand is
occupied. The test stand can only be switched to "Automatic" operational mode when it is
unoccupied.
Acknowledging malfunctions
Test stands with MB-Mode are also equipped with a malfunction button. If problems occur during
operation, the malfunction lamp will light up. Certain problems can be acknowledged by pressing
the malfunction button. (see defect codes).
If the trouble occurs while the test stand is occupied, it immediately switches to "Manual"
operation.

Maintenance, Error Codes
4.1
Maintenance of the Roller Set
The roller set should be inspected and serviced every 200 operating hours or once every 12
months, whichever comes first. The inspection should include a thorough check of the anchoring
of the roller set as well as all fasteners and screws. The chain tension must be checked for the
first time 14 days after initial commissioning and afterwards inspected on a monthly basis.
Fig. 4-1: Maintenance points on the roller set
! Remove the lateral cover plates of the roller set. Now grease the chain (1) along its entire
length well with a universal type lubricant (turn the rollers manually)
! The chain should have a slack of about 5 mm in either direction. If the chain does not have
enough tension, loosen the attachment screws (a). Turn the tension screw (b) until proper
tension is achieved. When this is completed re-tighten the attachment screws (a) and check
the chain slack again.
! The sensor roller hinges (2) must be regularly greased or oiled every 200 operating hours or
at least once a year.
