Align with Compass/Align with Target
The normal way of aligning the SunEye is to align it using the compass to point South (or North
in the Southern Hemisphere). In some cases, such as metal rooftops, the compass in the SunEye
can be affected and erratic incorrect compass readings may result. In this situation, it is no lon-
ger possible to use the compass to align the SunEye. “Align with Target” mode provides an
alternative alignment to a reference azimuth using other visual information available at the site.
The targets could be a distant tree or pole whose direction is known, or a rooftop reference such
as the seams or tiles on a roof surface. The azimuth of the target is not necessarily South (or
North in the Southern Hemisphere).
To use “Align with Target”, use the following procedure.
1 In the preview mode, tap the arrow in the far upper left corner, and select “Align with Target”
from the drop down menu, then press
Close .

2 Set the target. Tap Set Target...to enter the Set Target menu.
• To aim and set the target using the compass, select “Use Compass”, align with the reference, and
tap “Set Target” to return to preview mode. Note that for this to function properly, the compass
must be operating correctly and not be affected by the nearby metal.
