Fig. 39 Aligning the optical axis
Sight The sight indicates the alignment of the optical axis between the SR unit and the reflector in
the probe using a 5 x 5 LED matrix. The LEDs light up to represent the position of the light
beam on the reflector at the end of the probe. The crosshairs show three fields for aligning
the probe.
‡ Adjust the optical alignment as shown in Fig. 39 by altering the two screws on the device
flange using a 19 mm wrench, while monitoring the LEDs at the same time.
A horizontal adjustment of the probe causes the light spot in the sight to shift horizontally;
a vertical adjustment causes it to shift vertically.
The alignment is correct when the lit LED is located within the valid field within the
crosshairs, or is completely within the internal ring marking of the crosshairs.
Note Further notes and meanings of the LED matrix of the GM 35 refer to „Checking on the
Display of the Evaluation Unit“ on page 54
