4 OPERATIONS
4.1 VEHICLE SETUP
Before to begin every measurement, clean the headlight. If the vehicle has a trimmer to
set the alignment headlight, set it in the position “0”.
-Line up the wheel of vehicle
-Verify the absence of deformation of the bodywork that can change the
alignment of the light.
-Verify the wheel pressure.
-Turn on the vehicle
If the vehicle is fitted with hydropneumatic suspension, it is necessary to adjust the
balance in standard mode
Note: In the Indoor rooms it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation or suction
of exhaust gas.
4.2 ALIGNMENT OF INSTRUMENT WITH THE VEHICLE UNDER TEST
Warning: the laser devices may give risks to safety and health for humans. The operator
then must consider such risks during use, taking care not to direct the laser in direction of
persons. It is recommended to define specifically the area of use
-Check that there are not people near the test area
-Position the headlight tester with the lens at 50 cm from the headlight
-Unblock the column
-Turn on the line laser

4.5 OPTICAL SHIELD
The optical shield adjustment must be carried out using the rear dial, setting the slope
descending value shown on the following table:
the vehicle's headlight. This value is expressed as a percentage (%). If this value is not
given, set the value to 1 for the height of the projector up to 80 cm, set 1.5 if height of
projector is more than 80 cm.

information)
On the right side you can insert the type of vehicle illumination, like the number and type
of lamps, and you can decide the sequence of measurement, and the minimum and
maximum illuminance limits according with the current law
Once you have aligned the instrument and set in plane, go to the left lighthouse.
Insert the vehicle data, press CONFIRM (F3)

Wait for the stabilization of the light value, you can see in real time if the current value is
according with the law limits that you previously insert in the vehicle data dialog form, if the
illuminance isn't into the allowed interval you can see a bar in the display, its length is
dependent by lux value, as soon as the value is into the allowed interval you can see “OK”
on the display. When you finish the measurement you can confirm with "OK", regardless
the result of the test.
