GENERAL REGULATIONS Carefully read the instructions in this manual, before using the headlight beam tester. Do not allow unqualified persons to use this device. The workplace should be dry, well lit and ventilated. Working areas should be equipped with an exhausts gas aspirator, since the headlight tester must be used with the engine running.
INSTALLING RAILS Two sets of rails, each secured to the floor by screws and plastic raw plugs. The rails are positioned at right angles to the test vehicle’s line of travel. The two rails must be level with each other, shimmed as necessary, and re-checked after tightening down.
COMPLEX SYSTEMS INCLUDING XENON AND BI-XENON HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS It is essential that this equipment is aligned exactly on the centre line of the dipped beam pocket. If when carrying out a normal test/adjustment a clearly defined headlamp pattern cannot be seen, it will be necessary to move the vehicle closer to the test equipment.

For headlamps with a centre not more than 850mm from the ground, the beam image horizontal cut-off is not between the horizontal 0,5% and 2% lines, i.e. the red tolerance band. For headlamps with a centre more than 850mm from the ground, the beam image horizontal cut-off is not between the horizontal 1,25% and 2,75% lines, i.e.
BRITISH AMERICAN TYPE, (CHECKED ON MAIN BEAM)- CHARACTERISTICS: (NOTE:1) Headlamps tested on main beam have a symmetrical main beam pattern with a central area of maximum intensity (hot spot). This type of lamp generally has a circular lens Reason for rejection The “hot spot”...
BRITISH AMERICAN TYPE (CHECKED ON DIPPED BEAM)- CHARACTERISTICS: (NOTE:1) Asymmetric dipped beam pattern with an area of high intensity intended to be directed along the nearside of the road. Circular lens. Reason for rejection The upper edge of the “hot spot” is above the horizontal 0% line. The upper edge of the “hot spot”...
CALIBRATION We suggest the unit is periodically checked for calibration in situ. If the unit is covered by a service agreement with the MOT package installer, they will carry this out on your behalf. Should you wish to regularly check the calibration yourself, we recommend you purchase an Alignment Device from your local dealer.
LASER PASSING THROUNG THE LENS First, place the tester in front of the beam and adjust the inclination wheel on “0” position. Once the bubble level is centred, set the inclination value indicated by the car manufacturer instructions. When inclination is not more zero, laser projection will automatically start. ATTENTION: To avoid battery discharge, do not leave “0”...
