Manual lamp alignment

What can be done ?
The light output of the lamp can be adjusted manually using the motor functions on the lamp house or
by turning manually on the adjustment knobs on the lamp house. In both cases a preview is given in the
Lamp light output history.
Z-axis alignment is the fast alignment to improve the light output. While the X and Y axis alignment is fine
alignment to further improve the light output.
How to align
1. For the Z-axis alignment, tip on left or right arrow keys below Z alignment. (image 5-12)
Tip first in one direction and look to the preview to see if there is an improvement. If there is an improve-
ment, continue in the same direction. If not, tip in the other direction until the maximum light output is
obtained.
2. For a fine adjustment, adjust the X and Y axis. Tip on the corresponding buttons.
Adjust the X-axis (left - right keys) and the Y-axis (up down keys) for maximum current light output (Foot-
lambert Measured). Carefully adjust for maximum light output. Once over the maximum, tip slightly in
opposite direction to reach the maximum light output again.
Do this for each direction and minimum repeat this adjustment cycle twice.
