Checking With Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester: Vas6813: Notes

NOTE:

The check occurs by determining the brake rotor thickness "and" the wear value with the :VAS6813 , both must be measured three times respectively around the circumference.

The wear value -C- for the :VAS6813 is engraved on the brake rotor cup.

The values -A and C- can be different depending on the location.

The values -A and C- can be different depending on the brake rotor.

Value -A- is a value from the production of the new brake rotor

The wheel is installed.
The brake rotor thickness is checked.
The measuring device is checked. Refer to Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester .

NOTE:

For additional information on the :VAS6813 refer to the supplied Owner's Manual.

Measurement:

The brake rotor must be clean.
The brake rotor must be dry.

WARNING:

Health Risk.

Always wear a mouth and nose mask when using compressed air to clean the ceramic brake rotor.
Never clean the brake rotor with water or any other fluid.

At a distance of 120° the marks for the measurement for deterring the wear can be found

The following described measurement must take place on all three measurement locations to guarantee a correct check.

-A- new value, -C- wear value, -B- number of the measurement location, -D- mark for the laser beam for the measurement of the wear value.

For example the third measurement location -B- from "1 to 3" can be seen.

NOTE:

The values -A and C- are different depending on the location.

The values -A and C- are different depending on the brake rotor.

-- Place the :VAS6813 flush on the outer edge of the brake rotor.

-- Switch on the :VAS6813 .

-- Move the :VAS6813 -1- along the outer edge -2- until the laser beam points exactly on the mark -D- on the brake rotor.

-- Determine the wear on all three measurement locations of the brake rotor from "1 to 3".

-- Read the displayed value on the :VAS6813

If one of the three wear values -C- is reached or falls short, the brake rotor must be removed for further checking.
