Boresight Alignment - Christie Mirage WQ-L User Manual

Boresight Alignment

• Boresight alignment is an advanced feature and should only be performed by experienced
• You can also use the Grid or Edge blend test pattern to perform boresight alignment.
1. Display the Boresight test pattern by
pressing Test on the IR remote and use the
Left arrow key to cycle to Boresight.
2. Adjust the lens focusing ring until each
square displayed in the Boresight test
pattern is focused. If all three squares are
in focus, no further action is required.
3. If boresight is required, see the image on
the right to understand how the adjustment
screws on the lens mount affect the
corresponding squares on the test pattern.
4. Use a 5 mm hex key to loosen the three
locking set screws on the lens mount. The
set screws must be backed out several
turns, so that they do not contact the inner
lens mount plate.
5. Fine tune the focus of square one, by
adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with minimal flare.
6. Adjust square 2, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with
minimal flare.
7. Adjust square 3, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with
minimal flare.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7, as required until all squares on the test pattern are equally focused. If the
boresight is acceptable, continue to step 11. If the boresight does not appear to be converging
to an acceptable level of image quality or if the lens will not focus over the correct range of
throw distances, then the boresight requires coarse adjustment. See step 9.
9. The original factory boresight can be recovered approximately by positioning the three set
screws. Position the set screws flush with the front face of the lens mount plate and in contact
with the inner lens mount plate. This may require adjusting both set screws and cap screws.
10. If further action is required, repeat step 2.
11. Lock the set screws, and re-check the boresight quality. Tighten the set screws to prevent them
from shifting.
12. When the image is focused, lock adjustments in place by tightening the adjustment screws until
just tight.
