VISION 100 CALIBRATION
Equipment Calibration Checks
There are two critical checks for proper calibration:
●
The position of the laser dot with respect to the centerline of the Aimer.
●
The vertical straightness of the laser to the vertical axis of the Aim Head.
Recommended Tools:
● Four foot carpenter’s level
●
Measuring Tape or Ruler
●
5/64" Allen wrench
Laser Parallel to Centerline of Aim Head
1. Locate an area that is reasonably level next to a wall or any vertical
surface with an opening at least 18 inches wide and 48 inches high.
Place V100 Aimer next to this vertical surface with floor slope adjust
wheel pointing towards the wall and front of the Aim Head
approximimately 30 inches from the wall.
●
Level Aim Head vertically (front to back) and horizontally (side to side)
as follows: Vertical leveling can be accomplished by using the
Level Vial on the top of the Aim Head and adjusting the Floor Slope
Adjust Lever (Fig. 2). Horizontal leveling is accomplished by placing a
carpenter level across the front top bezel and adjusting the mast
(Fig. 3).
2. Place an accurate straight edge (4 ft. long) along the length of the left
side of the Aim Head to the wall in front of the unit using the outermost
side of the front and rear bezel. Make a mark on the wall on the inside
of the straight edge (Fig. 4 / 1).
3. Using the level, draw a vertical line 24 inches above and below this
mark (Fig. 4 / 2).
4. Measure accurately from this mark at right angles 16 1/4 inches and
make a mark on the wall (Fig. 4 / 3).
5. Using the level, draw a vertical line 24 inches above and below this
mark (Fig. 4 /4). This line locates where the tracking point of the laser
should be.
Press the “On/Off” button to turn unit on. Press “Align to V ehicle” button
to activate laser.
6. Rotate laser pointer straightforward. Laser dot should intersect vertical
on wall (Fig. 4 / 5 & 6).
7. Rotate laser pointer up vertically approximately 10-12 inches. Laser
dot should intersect vertical line on wall at this point (Fig. 4 / 6).

Place V100 Aimer
approximately 30 inches
from a wall or other 90
degree plane on a reasonably
level floor. After you have leveled
the Aim Head, keep your calibration
marks (A & B) for future calibration.
