Laser range finder GLM 100-25 C

Only GLM 100-25 C may be used as a laser range finder for aligning SCT 815 S4/S7.

The laser range finder GLM 100-25 C is used to position SCT 815 S4/S7 in front of the vehicle and to adjust the height of the prismatic reflector. The following properties of the laser range finder GLM 100-25 C ensure that SCT 815 S4/S7 can be positioned precisely as specified in the brief instructions specific to the vehicle:

• Continuous distance measurement
• Display of inclination angle
• Rear edge as reference point for distance measurement

Functional description

The front radar sensor for the makes Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Kia and Hyundai must be calibrated using a prismatic reflector. For the front radar sensor to be calibrated, the prismatic reflector must be positioned in front of the vehicle at a distance and height specific to that vehicle. The adjustment device SCT 815 S4/S7 is used to put the prismatic reflector in that vehiclespecific position.

As soon as the prismatic reflector is in its vehicle-specific position, the calibration must be started using diagnostic software. The front radar sensor emits signals focused and reflected back to the front radar sensor by the prismatic reflector. The calibration will be successful if the prismatic reflector is precisely aligned. The calibration may fail if the prismatic reflector is not precisely aligned or the measurement bay requirements are not met.

Initial commissioning

SCT 815 S4/S7 installation

1. Make sure all components specified in the scope of delivery are present.
2. Position the guide tubes with the tube connectors (1) over the holes in the base plate.
3. Use the hex socket head cap screws (3) and washers (4) to secure the tube connectors on the base plate at 4 Nm.
4. Slide the preassembled tool holder (1) onto the guide tues, and use the knurled screw (2) to secure it.
5. Position the mount for the line laser (1) with the holes over the tube connectors on the guide tubes.
6. Use the countersunk screws (3), washers (4) and hex nuts (5) to secure the mount for the line laser on the tube connectors at 4 Nm.
7. Slide the prismatic reflector (1) onto the tool holder.
8. Secure the plastic screws (1) on the tool holder.

Warning: The plastic screws are intended as a stop so the prismatic reflector cannot slide off the tool holder by accident. 3 plastic screws are included in the scope of delivery. The third plastic screw is intended as a spare.

Checking the accuracy of the inclination measurement (before each calibration)

Check the accuracy of the grade measurement before each front radar calibration. This is accomplished by means of a reverse measurement. To do this, lay the measuring tool on a table and measure the inclination. Turn the measuring tool by 180° and measure the inclination again. The difference between the displayed values must not exceed 0.3°. In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be recalibrated.

To do so, select CAL in the settings. Follow the directions on the display. We recommend that you perform an accuracy check and if necessary a calibration of the measuring tool after extreme temperature variations and after impact to the tool. After a temperature variation, the measuring tool must acclimatise for a while before calibration is performed.
