1. Rough Alignment
• Vertical: Place scale or straightedge on highest
hub and raise or lower the movable shaft to
within 20 mils (0.020”) of the stationary hub.
• Horizontal: Place scale or straightedge on hub
nearest to you and adjust the movable shaft to
within 20 mils (0.020”) of the stationary hub.
2. Correct Obvious Soft Foot
Loosen all the bolts and nd any obviously loose
shim packs. Add shims as needed to make a snug
t.
3. Follow Tightening Sequence
Follow the same sequence throughout the align-
ment process, and tighten in 3 passes: snug rst,
50% on second pass, completely tight on the
third pass. (View sequence on next page)

4. Make a Final Soft Foot Correction
Loosen one bolt at a time and check for soft
foot with a 2 mil (0.002”) shim or feeler gauge.
Correct any foot with 2 mils or more of soft foot,
then tighten the bolt before proceeding to the
next foot.

Set Up
1. Turn on the EVO Display Unit.
2. Mount the ‘S’ sensor on the stationary shaft or
coupling hub and hand tighten the nut. Turn the
sensor on by pressing the power button on the
Bluetooth module.
3. Mount the ‘M’ sensor on the movable shaft or
coupling hub and hand tighten the nut. Turn the
sensor on by pressing the power button on the
Bluetooth module.
Start the Horizontal Alignment Program
1. From the main menu on the display
unit touch the horizontal alignment icon.
2. The lasers will turn on and the screen graphic
will show the orientation of the sensors.
Aim the Lasers
1. Loosen the green clips and slide the sensors up
or down until the line laser beams hit the middle
of the opposite sensor. Note that the sensors will
be at different elevations.
2. The display unit screen will show values in the
black boxes in the upper left and right corners of
the screen when the lasers have been acquired by
the sensors. (see pg 4 for screenshot)

Enter Dimensions
1. Starting on the left side of the screen display,
touch the dimension entry block. Enter the
indicated dimensions to the nearest 1/8” using
the keypad.
2. Touch the check mark to continue entering
until all dimensions are entered.
3. Select the RPM of the equipment to set the
alignment tolerances, then press the check mark.
Measure Misalignment
1. Rotate the sensors to the 9:00 position and
press the ashing measurement button.

MEASURE
2. Rotate the sensors to the 12:00 position, being
sure they move outside the red portion of the circle
on the screen. Press the measurement button
again to take the second measurement.
3. Rotate the sensors out of the red portion of the
circle towards 3:00. Press the measurement button
again to take the nal reading.

The results will be displayed on screen.
Evaluating the Results
1. Vertical results are displayed at the top of the
screen, horizontal results at the bottom.
2. Green coupling icons indicate values which are
in tolerance.
3. Orange values are within 2x tolerance.
4. Red values are more the 2x the tolerance level.

CORRECTION
Using the Verti-Zontal™Process
First Correct the Vertical Misalignment
1. Press the shim icon in the bottom right
corner of the screen. Then press it again on
the conrmation pop-up screen.
2. Loosen all the bolts on the movable machine.
3. Follow screen instructions for removing or
inserting shims.
Do not re-tighten the bolts.
Next Correct the Horizontal Misalignment
1. First press the ‘live reading’ icon in
the bottom right corner of the screen.
2. To ensure the live readings are for the horizon-
tal direction make sure the sensors are at either
3:00 or 9:00.

3. If the sensors are not in proper position, values
will not be displayed and the sensor position will
be represented by a red circle.
4. Make the largest adjustment rst. The arrows
indicate the direction of adjustment.
5. Continue to adjust the movable machine,
watching the live readings, until both the angle
and offset are within tolerance.
6. Tighten the bolts using the tightening sequence
established in Pre-Alignment.
7. Some machines move laterally when tighten-
ing the bolts. Make sure that the displayed values
remain in tolerance as you tighten the bolts.

RE-MEASURE & DOCUMENT
Re-Measure
1. Press the re-measure button, then press
it again on the conrmation pop-up screen.
2. Re-measure to verify the results are within
tolerance. If they are not, repeat the
Verti-ZontalTM Correction Process (top of page 7).
Document the Results
1. Press the le save icon.
2. Press the white le name box to open the
keypad. Enter a lename and then press the
check mark.
