American Aimers V100 Photometric Headlight Aimer - Manual (Page 18)

✺
TROUBLESHOOTING: MISALIGNING LAMPS (Continued)
STEP 1:
Verify laser calibration. See Instruction
Manual Calibration procedure.
STEP 2:
If laser is calibrated correctly, then it may be
necessary to recalibrate the V100 head setting for
left to right level.
STEP 3:
To correctly adjust the V100 aim head to
correct misalignments, identify shop floor
conditions by viewing the following examples:
EXAMPLE 1:
Vehicle sets on
level surface.
Aimer moves left
to right on level
surface.
EXAMPLE 2:
Vehicle sets on
level surface.
Aimer sets on
level surface
where aimer is
being aligned to
vehicle.
EXAMPLE 3:
Vehicle sets on
not level surface.
Aimer sets on
not level surface,
same as vehicle.
EXAMPLE 4:
Vehicle sets on
level surface.
Aimer sets on
not level sur-
face.
Note: properly
adjusted base.
EXAMPLE 5:
Vehicle sets on
not level surface.
Aimer sets on
level surface.
Note: properly
adjusted base.
NOTE:
For the vehicle and the aimer to
be aligned parallel, it is critical
that the aimer and the car are
on the same plane when
aligning the V100 to the
vehicle.

EXAMPLE 1: Ideal Shop Floor
When aligning the aimer to the car the aim head should be
level left to right.
EXAMPLE 2: Shop Floor Settling Uneven
As long as the V100 head is level left to right as is the car
during Aimer to Vehicle Alignment , the aimer can roll off
level without causing misalignment of the lamps.
EXAMPLE 3: Shop Floor Settling Level
This example shows that if the aimer and vehicle are both
on the same plane and the surface is not level, then
alignment will not be affected.
EXAMPLE 4: Vehicle Surface Level, Aimer Surface
Uneven
Place the aimer in front of the vehicle where the alignment
to vehicle takes place. Using the base adjusting sections,
level the V100 aim head left to right so the head now reads
level while setting on the uneven surface. See Page 4, Fig.
11 of the Assembly Instructions for level reading.
EXAMPLE 5: Vehicles Surface Uneven, Aimer
Surface Level
Place the aimer in the area in front of the vehicle where
alignment to vehicle takes place. Using a level, take a
bubble reading of the uneven surface where the vehicle
sets. Using the base adjustments sections, set the level of
the aim head to be off level the same amount as the
vehicle. This will put the vehicle and the aimer on the same
plane. See Page 4, Fig. 11 of the Assembly Instructions for
level reading.
