Page 9: Electronic Levelling
Electronic Levelling This headlight tester comes standard with an electronic position sensor which determines the inclination angle of the device. The software compensates possible deviations in the X- and Z-axes while calculating the position of the headlights. The headlight tester may be set up on uneven surfaces even if the ground unevenness is outside the permissible tolerances, provided that the maximum unevenness does not exceed the headlight tester’s self-levelling capacity of 3%.
Page 10: Angle Symbols
2.5.2 Angle Symbols Once the adjustment of the inclination sensor has been completed, an angle symbol appears in the info bar to indicate the adjusted/active inclination axes.

Page 30: Energy Management And Troubleshooting
Energy Management and Troubleshooting Charging the Battery The charger plug is plugged into the round hollow plug socket on the side of the housing (see illustration). If the ‘cable connection’ option (VZ 990312) is installed, the power supply and data transmission take place via the XLR plug on the underside of the SEP. In this case, the hollow plug socket is not connected.
Page 31: Battery Status
Battery Status 5.2.1 Battery Life The battery has a nominal capacity of 13,400 mAh and allows up to 15 hours of continuous operation in the workshop at an optimum ambient temperature of 20 °C. 5.2.2 Display of Charge Level The charge level is calculated via the current drawn or supplied. This function is only available once the battery has been fully charged, as the actual battery capacity must be determined by the electronics.
