Left Peripheral Camera -R244- /Right Peripheral Camera -R245-, CALIBRATING

The Left Peripheral Camera -R244- /Right Peripheral Camera -R245- are installed inside the left and right exterior mirrors.

The following describes calibrating the Left Peripheral Camera -R244-. Calibrating the Right Peripheral Camera -R245- is identical.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

-- Set-up requirements, refer to Calibration Requirements .

-- Install and align the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 with Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS 6350/6. Refer to Calibration Tool VAS 6350 WITH Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS 6350/6, INSTALLING AND ALIGNING .

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

Setting up the calibration device

Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 installing: 

-- Check the dimension of the holes.

-- Equip the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 appropriately. Use spacer pieces.

-- To do so, secure three wheel bolt adapters in the hole circle to the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1.

-- Position the paddle on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 and secure using the clamping screw.

-- Place the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 on the wheel bolts on the left front wheel.

The Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting VAS 6350/1 is positioned by the "O rings" in the adapters and held in place.

NOTE:

Attach the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mounting VAS 6350/1 onto the wheel so that any installed "anti-theft" wheel mounting bolts are not connected to the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1.

-- Position the equipped Calibration Tool VAS 6350 with the Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS 6350/6 -4- near the vehicle.

-- Adjust the paddle -2- with a clamping screw so that it moves freely and easily just over the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -4- calibration platform.

Installing the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser VAS 6350/3: 

-- Install the Guide Pin VAS 6350/6-5 -2- all the way using the 3/8" fine toothed ratchet on the left rear wheel and install the Line Scan Laser Mount VAS 6350/6-6 together with the Left Post Mount VAS 6350/3 -1-.

-- Slide the Line Scan Laser Mount VAS 6350/6-6 so that the outer edge of the Guide Pin VAS 6350/6-5 is flush with the outer edge of the laser housing -arrow-. Tighten the clamping lever.

Calibration Tool VAS 6350 with Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS 6350/6 orientation 

-- Switch on the Calibration Tool - Linear Laser VAS 6350/3 -3- and adjust the laser beam forward toward the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 -2- such that a line appears on the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -4- calibration field.

-- Adjust the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -4- calibration field such that the outer edge of the black line on the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -4- calibration field is exactly on the laser beam.

-- Adjust the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -4- calibration field relative to the outer edge of the black line -1- so that it lines up exactly with the free-hanging paddle on the Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings VAS 6350/1 -2-.

-- Bring the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 with Night Vision Calibration Tool VAS 6350/6 into a horizontal position.

-- To do so, twist plastic feet under the calibration field of the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 so that air bubble in level is located exactly in the center of the indicator -arrow-

WARNING:

Make sure light does not reflect off the Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS 6350/6.

Reflections affect the camera and may make it impossible to perform the calibration.

Dimension measurement -h- : 

-- Measure the height of the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -2- calibration field, dimension -h-, from the surface of the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -2- calibration field (not the aluminum frame) down to the floor. Measure the hole in the Calibration Tool VAS 6350 -2- calibration field.

Dimension -h- and the distance dimension must now be entered into the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in "millimeters".

Performing calibration

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is attached.

-- Select the Diagnostic  mode and start the diagnostics.

-- Select the tab test plan  .

-- Select select individual tests  and choose the following sequence.

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester continues with the calibrating procedure from here on.

WARNING:

Make sure light does not reflect off the Peripheral Camera Calibration Device VAS 6350/6.

Reflections affect the camera and may make it impossible to perform the calibration.
