You might need to realign the laser periodically in order to maintain its optimal position—no more than 2” (5 cm) directly above the center point of the light beam. If you align the laser in this way, the path of the laser is parallel to the path of the light and will stay 2” (5 cm) above the center point of the beam at any throw distance or mirror position.

You align the laser using the three mounting/alignment screws shown in Figure 6-27 on page 6-25.

However, the decision of whether or not to align the laser is entirely up to you. If the laser strays from its optimal position, but it gives you enough accuracy for your needs, you do not have to align it.

Figure 6-23 shows the ideal position of the laser from the center of a perfectly round light beam:

Safety Precautions

In addition to observing all of the cautions in the section titled “Precautions” on page 6-2, you must observe the following cautions whenever using or servicing the Laser Aiming Device (LAD):

1.CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

2.Using the Laser Aiming Device with any fixture other than Technobeam may result in damage to both the laser and the fixture as well as exposure to laser radiation.

3.Precautions should be taken to ensure that the laser beam is not unintentionally directed at mirror-like (specular) surfaces (most importantly, at flat mirror-like surfaces).
