Part 2 Software Guidance
Introduction
Bee alignment program
Developed by Lawrence – Bee team and launched in the market since 2014, Bee has been
a big winner in the wheel alignment industry.
The program can work in XP, Windows 7 and 8 computer systems. It is equipped with
essential functions for alignment. The technological platform applied is the most scientific
and advanced one, ensuring high precise measurement results. The open background
caters for different requirements in displaying language, company information and printout,
etc.
Dongle
Dongle is a key part of the machine. For
standard machines, it’s packed and hanged
at the back side of the computer.
User of the machine shall always keep
plugging the dongle in the computer so as to
run the alignment program. The user is
responsible for keeping the dongle safe. In
case of loss, it’ll be high cost and
time-consuming to buy a new one.
Machine codes and labels
There are four types of labels that differentiate each machine. These labels show numbers
of the key components. Every machine is unique. In case two more machines are
purchased, users shall not mix using them.
The first one is the dongle label. B5 refers to models with
fixed beam while B9 refers to models of auto beam. The
written number on the label shows its identity.
19
The second one is the beam label which sticks at the back
side of the camera beam. It often shows only the Camera
ID and Targets ID which means they should work together.
If mixed up, the measuring result will be incorrect.
The third one is the PC label which sticks at the PC cover.
It shows full information, including PC ID, dongle ID,
camera ID and targets ID. It means this computer will work
only with the dongle, camera beam and targets of these
IDs.
The forth one is the target label. It shows only the target
ID.

Perform a 4-wheel alignment
Reasons for wheel alignment
There are many reasons why wheel alignment shall be performed in a vehicle, for example:
Non-center steering wheel during driving
Get a new tire for the vehicle
Collision
Steering or suspension parts such as tie rods, control arms, bushings or idler arm have
been changed.
First 3,000 km drive for a new car
21
Trans-axial repair for a front-wheel-drive car
Vehicle pulling from one side to another
One or more tires showing signs of premature or uneven wear
Basic wheel alignment procedures
1. Gather information from the vehicle owner – ask about any symptoms of misalignment.
Inquire if the vehicle has been in a collision or has had any parts replaced recently.
2. Perform a test drive to verify owner’s complaint – try to recreate the problem. If unable to
duplicate, have the vehicle owner explain further or have him/her drive with you.
3. Place vehicle on the alignment lift – center the vehicle on the lift and turnplates. Raise the
lift to a solid, level lock position.
4. Inspect the tires for any signs of abnormal wear – tires often reflect many misalignment
conditions.
5. Perform a thorough component inspection. Replace defective parts prior to performing
the alignment. Always check tire pressure and ride height.
6. Mount measuring targets to the vehicles wheels. Use the safety straps in the event of grip
failure.
7. Begin the Bee alignment procedure for the vehicle.
8. Perform rolling compensation – the purpose of performing compensation is to eliminate
measurement errors due to the wheel runout and clamp mounting error.
9. Measure caster, camber, and toe.
10. Determine what needs to be done – Examine the vehicle and any reference materials to
determine the procedures for angle corrections. Determine what items are needed to
correct any problems (i.e. aftermarket kits, special tools, etc.).
11. Make any needed angle corrections – center the steering wheel carefully when
prompted. Use this order of adjustment:
a. Rear camber
b. Rear toe
c. Front caster
d. Front camber
e. Front toe
12. Re-center the steering wheel and readjust front toe if needed – crooked steering wheels
are the leading cause of customer dissatisfaction with wheel alignments.
13. Print the results – the printout is useful for showing the customer before and after results.
Many shops keep a printout on file for future reference.
14. Perform a test drive to verify proper alignment.
Begin Bee procedure
On starting the computer, the Bee alignment program will run automatically.
If user does not prefer the auto run-up of the program, delete the setting in the computer
system first. (START→Start-up)
22

Lower the lift to the ground. Fix the turnplates and
insert the bridges.
Drive the vehicle slowly and carefully onto the lift.
The vehicle must be center on the lift for alignment.
The two front wheels should stop at the turnplate
centers.
To ensure safety, block the rear wheels with wheel
chocks before rolling compensation.
Attach and hang the targets
At the back of each target, there is a label showing target ID and which wheel it shall mount.
Never mix mounting them.
The targets are suggested to hang at the corresponding racks as stated below.
Left front (No.1) Left upper rack

Calibration
Preparation of the software data before calibration
Check and confirm the camera in config.ini
36
Check the Camera ID on the label at
the back side of the camera beam.
Make sure it’s the same with that in
config,ini.
Confirm the type of targets and use the corresponding calibration program
Hardware preparation before calibration
Conditions of the calibration bar
The axiality tolerance should be ±0.05mm and the lubrication of the calibration kit is
sufficient.
Confirm the height of the lift
The height of the lift should be the same with the normal alignment height.
Check the voltage, wind speed and vibration source
Ensure stable voltage, normal environment and remove the vibration source etc.
Calibration Operation
Mark the lines on the front and rear of
the alignment platform.
Note:
a. The middle of the calibration
bar should coincide with that of
the two runways.
b. The rear-wheel position should
be 2700mm from the
front-wheel turntable center.
c. The calibration bar should
always be vertical to the runways
during calibration.
d. Never grab the calibration bar
on carrying.
37
Generation of the calibration data
The name of the generated file is config.ini.
After calibration, send config.ini to Lawrence. Lawrence will send back a new config.ini.
Replace the new one with the old one in the folder.
Maintenance and transport of the calibration kit
a. Always handle the calibration kit gently.
b. Keep the calibration kit away from water and corrosion.
c. Spray WD-40 on the axles every three months.
d. Use the original packing boxes for transportation. Squeezing is forbidden.
Daily maintenance
Maintenance of the camera lens
a. Never demount the cameras or lens without permission.
b. Keep the cameras and lens away from vibration resources and moisture.
c. Blow the dust on the lens with a rubber blower. If unsuccessful, use the camera paper to
gently clean away the dust or dirt on the surface.
d. Avoid electrostatics with earth line or an anti-static needle.
Maintenance of targets
a. Never demount the target without permission.
b. Keep the targets away from water and oil.
c. When there is oil or dust on the surface of the target, wipe it gently with a towel sprayed
with neutral glass detergent.
Method to check the stability of the power pressure and the static
(earth wire)
The unit should work under normal environment.
a. The normal working voltage for the unit is
210V~240V. A multimeter can be used for check.
b. A power polarity detector should be applied to
check whether there exists the valid earth wire.

How to perform steering-wheel correction function
If over 70% of the car being aligned result at non-centered steering wheels which tile to the
same side, please use the steering wheel correction function to correct the machine. Below
are the procedures.
Find a car with a straight steering
wheel. Drive it onto the pit.
Select the model and do push
measurement.
Click button “Toe”
Press Shift + Click Toe at the
same time
The system will ask for
password. Input “Admin” and
then click OK.
In this interface, click OK and
then Save and Exit.
After that, in future, for any car being aligned, they’ll have a straight steering wheel.
Note: If you have a calibration kit, it’s better to do calibration first, and then straight steering
wheel correction. This function is to compensate for the possible error due to improper
calibration. If calibration can be done perfectly, this function is not necessary.
