Description
A precise electronic headlight tester, for both vehicle inspection centers and repair shops
The CAP2500 measures headlight aim using a photodiode sensor: the operator directly reads the cut-off value and light intensity, without needing to visually interpret a test chart.
Its onboard software adapts to the application. At technical inspection centres, it guides the verification procedure; in workshops, it assists in adjusting low beams, high beams, and fog lights to the correct settings.
