Audit Electronic Tire Inspection Tools

• Record and adjust air pressures
• Record data from complete physical tire condition inspection
• Measure and record four tread depth readings per tire
• Verify tire size, make, model and retread design per wheel position

AUDIT tools are user-friendly, high tech tools designed to fully integrate with and enhance all Budini systems. These tools will significantly reduce the time and labor costs associated with collecting and recording physical tire conditions, air pressure data and tread depth measurements. Actual data collection time per wheel position, including any re-airing required, is approximately 40 seconds; compared to 2 minutes - the industry average utilizing current methods which does not include re-airing. AUDIT Tire Inspection Tools are simple to use and built to survive the environment. And because they are data collection tools and not data entry tools, they lead the mechanic through the process.

Vehicle ID numbers can be selected from any of Budini's tire software systems for direct download to the DATA-AUDIT hand-held controller. Vehicle layouts are transferred as well and displayed on the 128 X 128 pixel graphic screen. The operator is directed via a user-friendly, menu driven prompt. The blinking wheel position on the graphic vehicle layout indicates the current status of the data collection process. DATA-AUDIT hand-held unit features oversized keypad buttons for easy operation and will operate for up to eight hours at a time before recharging via the docking station. With each download, DATA-AUDIT is capable of collecting data on 150 different vehicle identification numbers with more than 4000 wheel positions (up to 27 wheel positions for each of the 150 vehicles). The DATA-AUDIT also allows an operator to select up to 4 different physical tire conditions from a predetermined list for each tire/wheel position.
The wireless AIR-AUDIT will immediately read and record tire air pressure and then automatically inflate or deflate a tire as designated by the software parameters.

The TREAD-AUDIT will display and record four tread depth measurements in 32nds of an inch or in millimeters, accurate to 1/64" of an inch or 0.4 mm for each wheel position.

All information collected into DATA-AUDIT can be quickly transferred to a PC. The time and expense of manual data entry is completely eliminated.

The Audit Tools were developed and manufactured in the United States by a team of experienced engineers and tire management specialists.

A complete set consists of three components:

	The DataAUDIT is the main hand-held computer that guides the operator step-by-step of the tire inspection, prompting all the menu options and required actions by the operator. Data collection tool Links to TreadAUDIT by Cable and to the AirAUDIT by Radio Frequency Stores up to 150 inspected vehicles Rugged design, water resistant Built-in screen light enables inspection at night or in the dark Built-in screen warmer enables inspection at below freezing temperatures 8 hour rechargeable battery No keyboard Data transfer to computer by RS232 cable
	The TreadAUDIT takes accurate tread depth measures 0.1mm or 0.1/32 accuracy Tread depth sensor Fast and accurate reading Stores reading into DataAUDIT (Cable) Takes 4 tread depth readings per tire Works in mm or /32nd
	The AirAUDIT is also a computer.  It communicates in radio-frequency with the DataAUDIT to take an automatic air pressure reading.  If a compressor is available the AirAUDIT will automatically inflate or deflate the tire to its recommended pressure according to the database settings in TMS, R.DA.CO, BTSS, and BAUM 1PSI accuracy Air pressure sensor Stores reading into DataAUDIT (by Radio Frequency) Works in PSI or BAR 8 hour rechargeable battery life Automatically inflates / deflates tire to recommended pressure
