6. General description
The headlight tester (HBT) is a device suitable for the check of all types of headlights of motor vehicles, vehicles and
heavy duty vehicles.
The HBT is movable, based on rubber wheels (1), it is equipped with a system of alignment to the vehicle via visor,
visor can be mirror visor or laser visor (2).
The optical box (3) is adjustable in height through a sliding system on precise and silent plastic skates and balanced by
a spring mounted inside a sheet steel cover and column, column displays centimeter scale for the exact positioning in
connection with optical box working height.
The HBT is equipped with an analog or digital (4) luxmeter. Luxmeter displays the light intensity value read by the HBT
and referred to the headlight under test.

7. MEASURE GUIDELINE
Measurement methods and recommendations follow the regulation:
ISO 10604 Road Vehicles –Measurements equipment for orientation of head lamp luminous beams.
7.1 Getting Started
Before you start the measurement procedure, you have to verify that:
−the headlights are clean and dry
−vehicle wheels are in a straight position and nothing is affecting correct
vehicle alignment (e.g. mud, snow, ice, etc….);
−the vehicle has no distortions to the chassis
−the tire pressure is correct
−the headlight position regulator inside the cockpit must be set on "0"
position;
−the vehicle is on a flat surface.
−the vehicle manufacturer's provisions (e.g. full tank, etc. see ISO 10604)
If area overall slope is higher than 0.1%, a rework of the
working area can be required to obtain a flat reference surface.
Vehicle area can be reworked with a proper adjustable platform
and headlight tester area can be completed with precision rail
installation.
Vehicles equipped with air suspension: engine must be on for five minutes before starting the
test. Start headlights check only with engine on.

HEADLIGHT BEAM TESTER LEVELLING
Position the headlight tester in the center of the related working area.
Check the position of the level inside the optical box, if it is not correctly levelled
follow the process to get unit in plain:
−Loose the lever and adjust the position to be in level
−Once the correct position is found, tighten the snap lever
−Double-check the correct leveling
7.2 Headlight tester (HBT) positioning
Place the headlight tester in front of the vehicle headlight at a
distance between 20-40 cm. Measure the height from the floor to
the center of the vehicle headlight and adjust the optical box to the
corresponding height using the graduated scale printed on the
column.
Use as reference the arrow on the top of the sliding assembly to point
the reference height.

7.2.1 Mirror visor alignment method
YES
NO
Look for two symmetrical points on the front of the vehicle (e.g. top
of the windshield or the headlights themselves). Rotate the optical
box looking in the mirror the two marks collimate with the black line
screen-printed on the mirror
7.2.2 Laser visor alignment method
Headlight beam tester equipped with laser visor facilitates operator in aligning the unit in front of the car
Before you begin the alignment, define a dedicated working area to avoid staff exposure
to the laser ray.
The laser device is class 2 according to la norm EN60825-1
Direct observation of the laser ray is not dangerous if eyelid reflex is preserved breaking
the radiation of the cornea in less than 0.25 seconds if eyes have no ocular applications
(such as glasses). This case direct exposure is not recommended.
Once alignment operations are completed, switch off the laser
Look for two symmetrical points on the front of the car,, (e.g.. windscreen or headlights themselves). turn the optical
box until the two reference points match with the line projected by the visor.

by 3 AA-type stylus
batteries. How to replace:
unscrew the 2 screws
placed on the plastic lid,
remove the discharged
batteries, replace them
with new ones paying
attention to the polarity
7.2.3 Headlight beam optical center alignment
BEAM TYPE INTRODUCTION
The actual versions of headlight beams on
the market can be summarized in three main
groups from the point of view of the end
user:
✓Parabola version
✓Lenticular version
✓LED matrix version
Parabola version consisting of a back
slices panel and a bulb emitting the
light projection.
Lenticular version consisting of a
frontal lens emitting the light
projection straight from the bulb
through the lens
LED Matrix assembly version
consisting of specific single LED
assembly in a detailed cell.

HOW TO CENTER THE BEAM
All TECNOLUX headlight testers are equipped
with laser pointing system to ensure the
correct aiming of the center of the beam/the
bulb of the beam
✓Parabola version
✓Lenticular version
✓LED Matrix
Parabola version:
Optical laser pointing system must
be directed on the beam bulb
Lenticular version:
Optical laser pointing system must be
directed in the center of the lens
Matrix LED version:
LED Assembly beam has to be
checked, starting from low beam
position centering Master the
MASTER LED shape
7.3 Measurement Process
Test must be performed with the engine on. If you are operating indoors, before starting the
engine, switch on the exhaust gas extraction system to expel the exhaust gases outside the
working environment in accordance with the current legal provisions.
In case of vehicles with air suspension turn on the engine five minutes before starting the test and proceed with
engine on.

CONCEPTS OF HEADLIGHT BEAM ASSEMBLY
INCLINATION = VERTICAL AXEL BEAM INCLINATION
DIRECTION = HORIZONTAL AXEL BEAM DEVIATION
7.3.1 EC HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT
Read headlight nominal inclination on the top of the headlight case
provided by the Manufacturer and set same nominal inclination on the
HBT inclination knob placed on the back of the optical box.
ATTENTION!
Remember that the adjustment of the headlights still complies with the
current law, which stipulates that for the low beam positioned at a
working height max 80 cm related vertical inclination must be 1%
Low beam vertical inclination for a working height higher than 80 cm,
reference vertical inclination must be at least 1.5%
