stage three, manual alignment
Once Pre Alignment is complete you will enter Manual Alignment.

NOW place or uncover
the reflector
When you install or uncover the reflector the Right hand Figure
(AQ) will jump up as high as 135%, this clearly shows that the ZetaBeam can see the reflector and you
can press Enter to move to Auto Alignment.
As long as there is a received signal of at least 80 to 100% ideally over 100% you can move onto the
next stage : Auto Alignment No.11.
If the ZetaBeam AQ does not rise significantly you will need to use the Left Right Up Down keys to move
the Eyes of the ZetaBeam onto the reflector and once you have targeted the ZetaBeam onto the reflector
the AQ will rise significantly.
In the example below we can see that the reflector is below the eye line of the ZetaBeam head,
so in this case you would need to lower the angle of the beam (-Y) until you receive an AQ of over
100%.
Reflector is lower than the beam head... use -Y to bring the beam onto the reflector

down
The ZetaBeam
can be moved on both X and Y axis to a maximum 5 degrees using
the left (X-), right (X+), up (Y+) and down (Y-) keys. Looking at the reflector this
will move the beam across the reflector. Holding the keys down will quickly scroll
through to your desired position, on release of the button the screen will revert to
the actual beam position and can be seen stepping towards the requested position.
To confirm the beam is seeing the reflector covering the reflector at any time should
drop the AQ and prove the beam is on the reflector.
In the example above moving the y axis down
(y-) resaults in a greater AQ
Try and achive as high an AQ as possible, it must be at least 80 to 100% ideally above 100%. Once
you have achived this you can move onto Auto Alignment.
