Calibrating with a Previous Axle Alignment
- Switch off the ignition when the vehicle has come to a stop. This is the only way to ensure that the rear axle steering is in the straight-ahead position.
- Connect the battery charger for the battery support mode. Refer to Electrical Equipment Battery, Charging.
- Position the front wheels so they are straight. -->
- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle. (Guide the diagnostic cable through the door window.)
- Turn off all vehicle exterior lamps.
- Close all vehicle doors.
Calibrating with or Without a Previous Axle Alignment
- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to the vehicle. (Guide the diagnostic cable through the door window.)
- Place the -VAS6430/6- centered on the calibration beam from the -VAS6430/1A-.
- The opening -arrows- must surround the nut and bolt -A- when the -VAS6430/6- is pushed onto the calibration beam.
- Fold up the right and left bracket -A-.
- Tighten the right and left clamping screw -1- hand-tight.
- Place the -VAS6430/1A- with the -VAS6430/6- in front of the vehicle.
- Position the -VAS6430/6- in distance -A- to the night vision camera.
- Distance -A- = 120 cm ± 2.5 cm, measured between the - VAS6430/6- and the lens on the Night Vision System Camera - R212-.
- Attach the measuring sensor for the front wheels to the calibration beam.
- For the following work steps, the hoist must be in the lowest position -A-.
- Place the -VAS6350/3A- -arrow- in the guide of the - VAS6430/6- and tighten.
- Switch on the -VAS6350/3-. A laser beam is beamed on the vehicle.
- Turn the lever on the back of the calibration board to align the laser beam so that it is in the center of the camera lens in the horizontal position.
The specified height is now reached and the -VAS6350/3A- can be switched off.
- Level the bubble level -A- using the adjusting screw -1-.
The bubble level adjustment -A- serves to balance the ground conditions.
- Move the -VAS6430- sideways -arrow B- until the display on the alignment computer is within the tolerance range.
- Secure the -VAS6430- by tightening the bolts -2-and-3- slightly. (This prevents the -VAS6430- from rolling away).
- Turn the precision adjustment screw -1- on the calibration beam until the display on the alignment computer is located within the tolerance range.
- Level the bubble level -A- using the adjusting screw -1-.
- Balance the bubble level -B- using the adjusting screw -2-.
- Turn the -VAS6350/3- back on and check the specified height and correct if necessary. A laser beam is beamed on the vehicle.
- Turn the lever on the back of the calibration board to align the laser beam so that it is in the center of the camera lens in the horizontal position.
The specified height is now reached and the -VAS6350/3A- can be switched off.
- Connect the connector -A- for the -VAS6430/6- to the power
- Turn on the switch -B- for the -VAS6430/6-.
TIP:
After switching on the -VAS6430/6- an inner initialization takes place. Both LEDs -C- blink at the same time and an acoustic tone will sound if the initialization is successful and was performed without any faults. Then the -VAS6430/6- is in the ready mode. The green LED will blink slowly.
- Check the bubble level and correct the adjustment if necessary.
- Push the button -A- to activate the heating function.
An acoustic signal will sound when the heating function is activated. The heat-up phase has begun.
As soon as the specified temperature is reached, the green LED will stay on.
The heating elements switch off automatically after 20 minutes. An acoustic signal will sound approximately 1 minute before the heating elements switch off automatically.
Press the button -A- at any time to reset the timer back to 20 minutes. An short acoustic signal confirms that it has be reset.
