ZING 24 ALIGNMENT

2. Locate mirror #1 located at the bottom 

of the laser periscope, shown below.

3. Adjustments of this mirror are made 

using the three (3) 3/32” allen head screws, 

each of which move the laser/red dot 

in a different direction on the target. 

The movement each screw controls are 

shown below:

NOTE: Small adjustments can make a big 

difference in laser location. To avoid “loss” 

of the laser and red dot fire, use very 

small adjustments when attempting to 

center the burn mark. If at any point you 

are unable to get a burn mark or see the 

red dot diode, call Epilog Tech Support.

4. Press the POINTER button on the Zing 

keypad to turn on the red dot diode. In 

this step we will be using the red dot 

diode location on the alignment target 

to help gauge how far we need to adjust 

the CO2 laser location to get a burn mark 

directly center on the alignment target.

•  For this step, assume that the red dot-

diode location will move twice as far 

as the CO2 laser location. 

•  For example: if the burn mark generat-

ed during the 

Pre-Aligment Procedure

 

is 1/8” away from the center of the 

alignment target, use the adjustment 

screws on mirror #1 to move the loca-

tion of the red dot diode by 1/16” in the 

appropriate direction.

5. After making any neccessary adjust-

ments using the adjustment screws on 

mirror #1 and the red dot diode as a ref-

erence point, replace the piece of tape 

on the alignment target and follow steps 

5-8 of the 

Pre-Alignment Procedure

 to 

create another burn mark. 

6. Repeat this process until the burn mark 

is at the center of the alignment target 

and once complete, apply a dab or su-

per glue or another similar adhesive to 

each adjustment screw on mirror #1, let-

ting it also drip down to the adjustment 

screw plate, thereby helping to “lock in” 

the alignment.

Adjusting Position/Mirror #2 & Red Dot

The goal of this step is to align the red 

dot diode to a new burn mark using the 

adjustment screws on the red dot diode 

and to then adjust both the red dot di-
