1.1 GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Step 1 Insert Front Eccentric Axle assembly (eccentric without scale). Rotate eccentric axle until small scribe mark aligns with indicator arrow on base. Tighten mounting screws. Step 2. Insert Floor Slope Eccentric Axle assembly (attached indicator scale & handle). Tighten mounting screws. Step 3. Place flat washer on 5/16”-18 x 2.5” bolt and push bolt through hole inside of base. Secure bolt in place using one 5/16” steel flat washer and nonlocking nut.
2.0 SYSTEM COMPONENTS 3 2.1 CONTROL PANEL The CONTROL PANEL consists of FIVE areas of interest. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ADJUST SELECTION MODE BUTTON ON/SELECT BUTTON INTENSITY CHECK + BATTERY CHARGE METER LAMP POSITION INDICATOR ARROWS BATTERY CHARGER SOCKET 4 5 2.1.1 ADJUSTMENT SELECTION BUTTON When a beam type is selected by pushing the ON/SELECT button the Audit Adjustment LED will turn on indicating that the aimer is in Audit adjustment mode.
3 When auditing the headlamp, the arrows indicate if the lamp is within or out of allowable limits of +/- 4 inches. 2.1.5 BATTERY CHARGER SOCKET The HBA 5 is powered by an internal battery supply that will provide a sufficient amount of power during working hours. An 110V ac power supply adapter is provided with the system for charging. A red LED light labeled “Charge” lights up to inform the operator that the battery is receiving power and is charging. 2.1.5.
at time of initial setup. Make sure to loosen the attachment screws for the axle block before attempting to adjust the wheel. Damage will occur if this step is not accomplished first. 2.4.3 WHEELS TO WHEELBASE MOUNTING Mounting Bolt There are three wheels on the wheelbase. Two wheels have an axle block that allows them to fit inside the wheelbase, and be adjusted. Each axle block has two bolts, one for mounting to the wheelbase, and a second for clamping the wheel axle into the block.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Position HBA 5 in front of vehicle with front wheels in floor rail and approximately one foot outside of vehicle. Lower the alignment head to lowest possible position. Adjust the alignment head until level vial is centered. (This is for a starting position only) Install laser on top of alignment head placing position pin in hole located in center of bezel Turn on the laser.
3.4.3 POSITIONING THE ALIGNMENT HEAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE Move the alignment head in front of the headlamp, and observe the indicator arrows on the control panel. The indicator arrows will inform the operator which direction to move the alignment head. The alignment head is in position when the green center LED lights up indicating that it is in position to audit or adjust the headlamp.
3.7.1 LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM & FOG/DRIVING PROCEDURE The operating flowchart is a step by step procedure to follow when aligning the low beam and high beam lamps 1. Turn laser on. If using adjustment handle scale recording from previous alignment, skip steps 2 & 3. 2. Measure height of laser beam at both front and rear wheels using a tape measure. 3. Adjust rear eccentric wheel so that the height of the laser is equal at both front and rear wheels of vehicle. 5. Place the HBA 5 at center of vehicle.
4.2 LASER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE ASSURANCE NOTE: LASER IS CALIBRATED AT FACTORY, CALIBRATION IS REQUIRED ONLY IN THE EVENT OF TAMPERING WITH ADJUSTMENT SCREW OR ASSURANCE OF LASER ACCURACY. Step 1: Move the HBA 5 to a level floor surface with a recommended six feet (very minimum of four feet) of unobstructed floor in front of the alignment head. Step 2: Level the alignment head.
• Switch lamp to LOW BEAM mode and visually observe placement of low beam on rear alignment screen of HBA 5. Pattern should be in a relative position of alignment and appear as pictorial. Q: The lights keep blinking on the control panel, what does this mean? A: Continue blinking of the lights on the control panel indicates either the internal battery requires charging, or that the system is not in front of a light pattern. It will require twelve (12) hours to full charge battery in system.
