Equipment Overview Mirror The headlight tester is aligned with the vehicle by using the movable alignment mirror. The optional laser aligner is integrated in the mirror holder. Column The column envelopes a precision profile which carries the slide rails. The counterweight which can be used to set the housing to the desired test height is located in the interior of the column (automatic locking).
Light Measure- The light intensity or illuminance of the headlights can ment Unit be checked using the light measurement unit. Setting Dial Use the setting dial to move the projection screen up and down in the housing to achieve the desired inclination value.
Setting Wheel Use the setting wheel to move the projection screen up or down in the housing. As the inclination of the headlight hot spot in relation to the driving surface is usually expressed in percentage, the setting wheel has a percentage (%) dial. The inclination values (light-dark border of the vehicle headlights) can be set from 0 to -6 % using the dial.
Definition of Technical Terms 2.6.1 Pitch Angle Angle of inclination of light-dark limit against the test surface. The inclination of headlight lighting bundle against the test surface is expressed as a percentage, using 10 m as a reference parameter: H − X 100 1000 2.6.2...
Light-dark limit Boundary for light distribution between ‘top dark’ and ‘bottom light’ for low-beam lights. Inflection point Synonymous with the light-dark limit for asymmetric low-beam lighting. The deviation of the inflection point is expressed in %. 10 meters is used as the reference dimension.
Operation Aligning When using guide rails, position the device centrally in front of the vehicle. Without guide rails, the device must be adjusted in front of each headlight. Please observe your national guidelines and specifications. The device is correctly aligned when two symmetrical reference points on the front of the vehicle are located on the black line of the alignment mirror.
Setting the Headlights Switch on the headlights. Set the projection screen to the required inclination value using the setting dial. The headlights should be tested individually, the other(s) should be turned off or covered if necessary. Observe the projection screen. If the headlight setting is checked through the folding mirror, note that all screen markings are displayed mirror- inverted.
Measuring the Luminous Intensity / Illuminance Light intensity or illuminance of low and high beams is indicated in Lux (lx) and Kilocandela (kCd) by the light measuring unit. Adhere to the following rules in order to get correct test results: •...
