2. Adjusting the beam angle
Alter angle of illumination (Optional)
The angle of illumination can be adjusted using the ‘Zoom Adjustment Screw’
(ZAS) on the front of the illuminator. Using a 4mm hex/allen key, turn the ZAS
clockwise to widen the angle of illumination. Turn the ZAS anti-clockwise to
narrow the angle of illumination. Please refer to the table below to set your
required angle of illumination.
Please note: The default setting for the Zoom illuminator will be 90°

6. Troubleshoot
Ensure all tests are undertaken by a qualified, trained engineer.
Ensure safe working practices are followed at all times.
Step 1: Basics
• Ensure power is 12-24V AC/DC
• Check photocell is working-cover photocell, light should turn on.
• Ensure power supply is suitably rated to product - check page 5 for
specifications
• If longer cables used, ensure sufficient voltage is provided to allow for
voltage drops across the cable
If OK…
Step 2: Lamp Test
• Check current draw of lamp corresponds to specification on page 5
To check lamp current remove +ve (red) lead from external power source and
connect multimeter (set to 10A) in line with the lamp. [One lead of multimeter
in common (COM), other lead into 10A socket of multimeter; set multimeter to
read Amps]. For correct current draw, see page 5.
Step 3: Set-up Camera, lens and illumination
• Check alignment of lamp and angle selected
• Check camera lens – fully open at night & set correctly
• Check performance specification of illuminator with camera and lens to
ensure required distance is achievable
Step 4: Call VISTA for further assistance
Note down:
• Model and serial number of illuminator
• Camera make and model
• Lens make and model
