I. Introduction
Thank you for having purchased the CAP2600 headlamp adjustment system. This system, which is fitted
with camera technology developed by CAPELEC, is an autonomous control and adjustment system
adapted to all types of headlamp.
Please read this manual carefully before using the appliances in order to obtain the best results. Keep it in
a safe place to be able to consult it if necessary.
Remark: The information in this document is subject to change without notice. CAPELEC cannot be held
liable for direct or indirect damage of any type, nor for losses or costs incurred through non compliant
use.
WARNING
The lens of the system must never be exposed to sunlight.
The concentration of sunlight can cause heating and a risk of damaging the
equipment and/or burns.

2.3 Main functions
There are 5 main modes available when the appliance is powered on:
Control
The control menu is used to check the headlamps on all types of vehicle depending on current legislation.
The appliance will guide you through a complete control of the different vehicle lamps.
Passing beam adjustment
This function is used to adjust the passing beam lamps.
High beam adjustment
The high beam adjustment is used to set these lamps at 0% lateral and vertical. The operator is guided
through the adjustment by arrows indicating the direction. Further, the intensity of the high beam is
indicated on the screen.
Fog lamp adjustment
This mode displays the angle measured on the fog lamps so that the operator can proceed with an
optimum angle adjustment.
Configuration
This menu gives access to several sub-menus used to configure the different CAP2600 functions, such as
the printer mode, the date and time etc.

2.4 Power supply
The CAP2600 operates on lithium-iron batteries. It has a 10 hour autonomy in continuous operation.
The charger supplied with the appliance has a battery load indicator:
Remark on the charger:
The connection point is the adapter block which must remain accessible.
A charger different from the originally supplied charger must not be used under any circumstances.
Remark on the batteries:
The replacement of the batteries must be by original parts.
Disposal of the batteries:
Dispose of the batteries in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to your country. Do not
dispose of used batteries in the dustbin: in most countries the incineration of batteries is prohibited, as are
their burial or disposal in public landfills.
Please contact the competent authorities for more information on the measures adopted by your country to
collect, recycle and destroy used batteries.

III Placing the CAP2600
3.1 Vehicle preparation
Firstly, check the tyre pressure. If the pressure is not correct, either inflate or deflate to the
recommended pressure within the - 0 bar and + 0.3 bar limit. In all cases, the pressure must be
balanced.
For vehicles fitted with discharge lamps, operate the windscreen wiper system when the lamps
are lit.
Move the vehicle forward at low speed, gently stop the vehicle in the lamp checking zone with
the wheels straight. Otherwise (for example after an axle check), the vehicle should be
advanced the equivalent of one wheel circumference (without constraints on the axles) and then
gently stopped.
For vehicles with non traditional suspension (e.g. servo suspension), the engine must be started
before carrying out any measurements, and the vehicle must be stabilised with the engine
running.
Put on the handbrake (progressively for manually controlled brakes) or, for automatic models,
place the gear stick in the P position (Park).
When the vehicle is fitted with a manual lamp adjustment system, either inside the vehicle or on
the lamps, place the system in the position set by the manufacturer depending on the load. If
the system is not operational, the control is carried out in the current configuration.

3.2 Positioning in the length axis of the vehicle
1 - Bring the CAP2600 in front of the centre
of the vehicle, such that the lens of the
adjustment system is located between 20
and 50 cm in front of each lamp for the
measurement (the ideal distance being 35
cm);
2 - Identify two fixed points on the vehicle,
symmetrically placed in relationship to the
central axis (example: upper left and right
corners of the windscreen, angles of the
bonnet, windscreen wiper nozzles if their
base is not deformed);
3 - Pivot the box to place the laser line on the
selected fixed points of the vehicle.
4 - You can begin the control procedure (or
adjustment). During this phase you will move
the CAP2600 in front of the headlamp to be
checked (or adjusted) while maintaining the
angular position thanks to the laser.
WARNING Laser radiation:
- Class 2M laser device
- Do not look directly into the beam nor directly observe using "magnifying" optical instruments.
- The vehicle must be empty of occupants when the laser beam is being adjusted.
- Laser adjustment must be used momentarily.

3.3 Positioning the optical block in front of the headlamp.
Electronic positioning assistance will help you when positioning the optical block in front of the
headlamps. It is automatically activated before each angle measurement for passing beams.
The indications displayed on the screen indicate in which direction the box is to be moved.
When the optimum position is reached "Ok" is displayed on the screen and the appliance
automatically switches to the next phase.
Operating mode:
1 - Place the headlamp adjustment system in front of the headlamp to be checked, by visually
placing it below the centre of the headlamp.
2 - Follow the instructions on the screen in order to place the optical block at the correct height.
3 - Finally, place the optical block accurately by following the instructions until "Ok" is displayed
on the screen.

WARNING: During this operation make sure that the front of the appliance is not exposed to a
parasite external light source (sunlight, spotlight), this could cause incorrect positioning.
Visual positioning:
If you do not have the electronic assistance, manual positioning is carried out by placing the
lens and the centre of the headlamp opposite each other.
1 - First place the optical block laterally in front of the headlamp
2 - Measure the height on the centre of the headlamp and position the centre of the lens at this
height.

IV. Control
In the control menu , the CAP2600 will guide you through the entire vehicle headlamp control
process.
Step: Controlling dipped beam lamps
During this step you will control the left and right side lamps of the vehicle.
First you must position the CAP2600 in front of the headlamp to be controlled. (See chapter III).
The example above corresponds to the measurement of the left dipped beam lamp. The measured vales
displayed in red indicate a value that is outside the statutory limits.
Step: Controlling the fog lamps
During this step you will control the left and right side fog lamps of the vehicle.
First you must position the CAP2600 in front of the headlamp to be controlled. (See chapter III).
