Start
Used to draw up the dipped-beam headlamp report, to print a result ticket and to access the WEB
interface expert report.
Dipped beam
It is used to accurately adjust the dipped-beam headlamps: dip angle, lateral angle and light intensity
measurement.
High beam
It is used to adjust the high beam: dip angle, lateral angle and light intensity measurement.
Fog lamps
It is used to adjust the fog lamps: dip angle and light intensity measurement.
AFS calibration
It is used to calibrate the AFS function. A specific diagnosis tool is required to interact with the calculator.
Configuration
This menu gives access to several sub-menus used to configure the different CAP2600 WORKSHOP™
functions, such as the printer mode, the date and time etc.

II. Positioning the CAP2600 Workshop™
2.1 Vehicle preparation
The following information is provided as a recommendation. Please refer to applicable regulations.
For light vehicles:
Preparation:
-Check the tyre pressure
-When the vehicle is fitted with a manual beam adjustment system (in the passenger compartment
or on the headlight inserts), select the position intended by the manufacturer depending on the
load
-When the vehicle is fitted with an adaptive lighting system (AFS), deactivate it by selecting "dipped
beams"
-When the vehicle is fitted with a headlamp cleaning system, check its operation and clean the
insert if necessary.
For heavy goods vehicles:
Vehicle preparation:
Before the inspection,
-Set the load compensation system to the appropriate position
-Disable the AFS
-Clean the headlamp inserts
Vehicle and headlamp beam tester position:
-Position the vehicle with the wheels straight without using the parking brake (a wheel chock can
be used).
-The engine will be left running if necessary to maintain the air suspension

Edit: 30/07/19 | Rev A | Page: 15
2.2 Positioning in the vehicle length axis
- Position the CAP2600 WORKSHOP™ in front of
the centre of the vehicle, so that the lens is
located between 20 cm and 80 cm in front of each
lamp.
- Identify two fixed points on the vehicle,
symmetrically placed in relationship to the central
axis (for example: upper left and right corners of
the windscreen, non-deformed bonnet angles,
windscreen wiper nozzles if their base is not
deformed).
- Pivot the box to place the laser line on the
selected fixed points on the vehicle.
- Start the measurement procedure. During this
phase you will move the CAP2600 WORKSHOP™
in front of the headlight while keeping the angle
obtained with the laser. It is advisable to check its
position in relation to the vehicle between each
lamp.
WARNINGS
- Laser radiation
- Class 2M laser device
- Do not look directly into the beam nor directly observe using optical instruments.
- The vehicle must be empty of occupants when the laser beam is being adjusted.
- Laser adjustment must be used momentarily.

Edit: 30/07/19 | Rev A | Page: 16
2.3 Positioning the optical block in front of the headlamp
The positioning assistance optimises the optical block alignment in front of the lamp. It is activated
automatically before each measurement. The indications displayed on the screen guide the user. When
the optimum position is reached, "validated" is displayed. The CAP2600 WORKSHOP™ automatically
moves to the next step.
The work method:
1 - Place the headlamp adjustment system in front of the headlamp below the centre of the lamp.
2 - Follow the instructions on the screen to align the optical block at the correct height.
3 - Place the optical block taking into account the assistance until "validated" is displayed on the screen.

inspection process. The sequence of steps is described in the following section.
Step 1: Enter the vehicle registration plate
From the WEB interface, enter the vehicle registration plate (1) and click "Send" (2).
The plate appears on the headlight beam tester screen and in the "vehicle to be processed” column.

Note: You can also manually enter a registration plate directly on the CAP2600 WORKSHOP™ by clicking
.
Step 2: Vehicle slope measurement using the ANYWHERE module
Position the ANYWHERE modules as close as possible to the vehicle wheels on the left side as shown
below. Module A (laser) on the front wheel and module B (target) on the rear wheel.
To activate the module A laser, press the switch for 2 seconds. Point it to the module B target line.
Press the switch again to validate. The laser flashes 3 times and sends the measurement. Then it turns off
automatically.
