USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
The laser can be operated with the help of remote control. The effecve range of the remote control is 328 (100m). Press the On/Off button both on the device (№7 pic.2) and remote (№9 pic.3) to start the operaon from the remote control.

POWER SUPPLY FOR ROTATING LASER:
The rotating laser is supplied with rechargeable batteries and a charger (AC/DC converter).
NOTE: Do not use alkaline batteries and chargers at the same time, as they may damage the laser.

1. Charge the rechargeable batteries if the power indicator blinks (№13 pic.2).
2. Connect the charger to an electrical outlet.
3. Insert the connector into the pin socket (№5 pic.1).
4. The indicator on the charger lights orange when charging. If the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the indicator lights green.
5. It’s possible to remove batteries from the tool. Unscrew screws in the battery compartment cover (№3 рic. 1).

IMPORTANT: You can operate the tool while it is charging.

Detector

1. Press the fixator on the battery compartment and remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Remove battery 9V. 3. Insert new battery 9V. Observe the polarity. Close the battery compartment cover.

The remote control
The battery compartment is located on the back side of the remote control.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Remove batteries.
3. Insert batteries type “AAA”. Observe the polarity. Close the battery compartment cover.

INSTALLING THE LASER LEVEL
Place the tool on the stable support in a horizontal or vertical position. The tool can compensate for a tilt automatically up to ± 5°. NOTE: to project the vertical plane in automatic mode, place the tool with the keypad up.

Use 5/8ʺ (at the bottom or on the side of the tool) thread to set a tool on the tripod. For precise positioning above the target location, use the plumb- down point. Due to its high accuracy, the device reacts very sensitively to vibrations and changes in position.

HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL PLANE (AUTOMATIC MODE)

1. Press the button ON (№14 pic.2). Power indicator (№13 pic.2) and the Remote operation Indicator (№8 pic.2), will light up. The shock warning Indicator (№12, pic 2) will blink. If the tool is out of range (±5° ), the Manual indicator (№20, рic. 2) and laser diode will blink, and rotation will not begin.
   Turn off the tool and remove the inclination more than ±5°.

2. Verify that the instrument is in automatic mode. The Manual indicator (№9, рic. 2) will blink while self-leveling.

3. The tool is ready for work. When the Power indicator (№1 рiс.2) is lit, the Manual indicator (№9 рiс.2) has stopped blinking, and the laser beams are projected. The tool is now leveled and the laser head rotates clockwise at 600 rpm. The shock Warning indicator (№12 pic.2) will stop blinking in 60-sec after switching on.

SHOCK WARNING MODE
The tool is equipped with a warning function about displacement. Such a function prevents automatic self-leveling on the revised height. As a result, it avoids errors during laser marks.

OPERATION FROM THE TOOL KEYPAD

1. SHOCK WARNING mode is activated automatically in 60 sec after switching on and self-leveling. Indicator (N212 pic.2) starts blinking. In 60 sec when the self-leveling is completed, the mode is activated and the indicator (N212 pic.2) lits constantly.
2. If the tool shifts from its initial position after the activation of SHOCK-WARNING mode, laser head rotation stops, and the laser emitter will blink frequently. SHOCK WARNING indicator (N212 pic.2) and manual mode indicator (N29 pic.2) will blink frequently on the keypad of the tool.
3. Check the position of the tool. If necessary return it to its initial position.
4. Press the button (N211 pic.2) to switch off a SHOCK WARNING mode. The tool starts to self-level automatically. The manual mode indicator (N29 pic.2) will blink while the tool is self-leveling.
5. To switch on SHOCK WARNING mode again, press the button (N211 pic.2). Indicator (N212 pic.2) starts blinking. In 60 seconds after the self-leveling process, the mode is activated and the LED indicator (N212 pic.2) lits constantly. If the SHOCK WARNING mode isn’t switched on, the tool will self-level after every displacement.

OPERATION FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL

1. The symbol appears on the display of the remote of SHOCK WARNING mode is on.
2. If a displacement occurs, icons will blink on the display.
3. Press the button (№4 pic 3) on the remote to switch off a SHOCK WARNING mode. The tool will automatically self-level. The icon will be off.
4. To switch SHOCK WARNING mode again, press the button (№4 pic.3). SHOCK WARNING icon will appear on the display of the remote.

④ INCLINED PLANE (SEMI-AUTO MODE)
A ROTARY 500 HV Servo / ROTARY 500 HVG Servo can project an inclined plane of (±5%) along the X-axis or Y-axis.
