Symtech BCA 4 - Manual (Page 9)

Move BCA 4
ISOColor to end of straight edge, turn on the laser and adjust
height of optical head so that the mounted laser will shoot down the straight edge.
Adjust the rear floor slope wheel until the level in the optical head is centered. Readjustment of
height of optical block may be necessary.
Adjust the rear height adjustment set screw of the laser assembly (Lock Tight has been installed
on screw at factory, minor pressure should break seal) till laser is viewed at both ends of straight
edge equally.
Laser is now calibrated, installing lock tight or other adhesive to adjustment screw is
recommended.
5.2 MAINTENANCE

6. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Level in optical head is not centered during alignment procedure?
Answer: Level vial is used ONLY when checking the calibration of the FLOOR SLOPE LASER.
Question: The high intensity (hot spot) area of the headlamp is of a different color that
the other lamp?
Answer: All lamps are legislated to be created equal, but this has proven not to be the case. Lamp intensities
will vary from lamp to lamp. The intensity of the lamp will determine the color of the high intensity
zone.
Question: Do I have to check for floor slope every time I perform a headlamp
alignment?
Answer: Floor slope need only be performed one time in each bay that the BCA 4
ISOColor is to be used.
When determining the floor slope, record the reading of the rear eccentric wheel on the sticker
provided, Each time you are in that bay, refer to the sticker and adjust the rear eccentric to that
measurement.
