DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE

The headlight tester is a device that allows to test headlights of all types, for motor vehicles, cars and trucks in general.
The machine can be installed as a moving station on rubber wheels. (FIG. 1)
The optical box is adjustable in height by means of a slider on precise, silent, plastic runners on an aluminum column marked
with a centimeter scale for exact positioning in connection with the headlight. (FIG.2)
The tester is equipped with laser pointing system, on the side of the optical box, there is a switch turning on the laser pointer
to allow exact positioning with the centre of the headlight. (FIG.3 & FIG.4)
The unit is equipped with a LCD display, to indicate light intensity, and a switch to select beam you want to read. (FIG.5)
On backside there is a knob with graduated range to position control panel in connection to the desired inclination to verify
beams properly. (FIG.6)
Inside optical box a printed graduated panel allows to verify exact position of high/low/fog beam.
Vertical lines indicate degrees of horizontal orientation of low beam.
Horizontal lines are useful to verify or regulate correct inclination. (FIG.7)
The visor that facilitates the alignment of the device to the vehicle is equipped with laser. (FIG.8)

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

The following rules must be followed carefully to prevent damage to the operator and machine.
• Read the machine labels, do not cover them for any reason, and replace them immediately if they should be damaged.
• The device should only be used by authorized personnel, trained in its use.
• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.
• The working environment should be dry and sufficiently ventilated.
• When moving the machine, pay attention to other people, especially children, in the vicinity.
• Do not bump shelves or scaffoldings where there may be a danger of falling objects: you and the machine could be
damaged.
• The storage temperature should be between -5° and +55°C.
• The working temperature should be between +5° and +45°C.
• Provide an adequate exhaust system for the exhaust gas, since the headlight test must be performed with the engine of
the motor vehicle running. Accidental inhalation of carbon monoxide can cause serious damage to the organism, with a
fatal outcome in some cases.
• Contact our agent in your zone, who can indicate the most suitable system for your company.
• Do not leave the headlight tester in the sun or in the immediate vicinity of hot objects like heaters, radiators, etc.
• Do not leave the headlight tester out in the rain or in an excessively damp place as its electronic circuits could be
damaged.
• If the headlight tester will not be used for a long period, we recommend that you cover it with a dust cover.
• There is a battery in the headlight tester that could cause a fire or explosion hazard if handle improperly. To prevent this risk
do not heat or use open flames near the battery and, when replacing it, use one with the same characteristics.
• When you encounter any malfunction in use of the machine, contact the retailer or send the machine to the nearest service
center.
• In case of parts replacements, order ORIGINAL replacement parts from a concessionaire or authorized retailer.
• Tampering with any part of the machine will invalidate the warranty.
