Aimer calibration can be checked by using it to aim a headlight and then comparing the aim on a wall screen. Aim a light as described in
the instructions, and check if the projection of the beam on the internal screen is the same.
Following tolerances are allowed:
The Standard SAE J600 allows a tolerance of ±0.3º (±1.6 in, or ±40mm) for the vertical aim, and ±0.6º (±3.2 in, or ±80mm) for the
horizontal.
The tolerance limits are shown in the figure below.

Calibrating the Aimer
High beam headlamps and auxiliary driving lights are aimed so that the center of the high-intensity zone is located at the horizontal
and straight ahead vertically.

CHECKING THE AIMER
Once the beam is aligned, place the aimer in front of one of the lights, as described in the instructions, and check if the projection of the
beam on the internal screen is the same.
Tolerances are the same as described in the previous page.

The same procedure may be done by checking the aimer using the high beam instead of the low as a reference.
