OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TURNING LASER BEAMS ON/OFF
Push the ON/OFF buttons for the X-Plane 1, Y-Plane 2, and Z-Plane 3 lines to turn ON and OFF their respective laser lines. These buttons are only active once the Pendulum Lock/Unlock Slider Switch 9 has been set to the Unlocked position. If the Pendulum Slider Switch is moved from the Unlocked to the Locked position while the laser beams are active, they will be turned OFF. The different laser lines can be operated independently or simultaneously.

X-Plane Laser Line Y-Plane Laser Line Z-Plane Laser Line

NOTE: The plumb spot can be found by locating the top and bottom laser line intersections while projecting both the Y-Plane and Z-Plane Laser lines simultaneously. The bottom laser line intersection can be used to locate a specific point on a floor layout while the top laser line intersection projects that same point to a ceiling.

PENDULUM SLIDER SWITCH & SELF-LEVELING

The laser assemblies are mounted on a pendulum so that the instrument can self-level. The Pendulum Slider Switch 9 must be in the unlocked position for the instrument to self-level. If the instrument is tilted by >4° from the horizontal plane, the pendulum will not be capable of self-leveling; the active laser beams will flash to indicate that the instrument is not level and cannot self-level. The instrument must be repositioned on a more level geometry for the self-leveling pendulum to function appropriately.

MAGNETIC MOUNTING BRACKET

A magnetic mounting bracket is included with the product. The instrument can be mounted on the bracket via its 1/4″ threaded screw 13. The bracket may be magnetically attached to any ferromagnetic structure such as steel studs, ducts, structural beams, and steel doors. The bracket also features a keyhole for mounting the instrument using a screw or nail to non-ferrous structures. Once mounted to a structure via the mounting bracket, the instrument can be rotated on the bracket through 360° to direct the laser beams.

MANUAL TILT MODE
Manual Tilt Mode locks the laser pendulum in place to allow the user to cast laser lines at any angle. This is useful for angled construction such as stairs or railings. While the pendulum is locked, press and hold the Z-Plane button 3 for three seconds to enable Manual Tilt Mode. Once enabled, press any of the laser buttons 1, 2 , and 3 to enable the corresponding laser. While in this mode, the laser lines will blink once every five seconds. To turn off manual tilt mode, press and hold the Z-Plane button 3 for three seconds.

RECHARGING BATTERY

When the Red LED on the Battery Level Indicator blinks, the battery needs to be recharged:
Charging Battery via 93CPLG USB-C Port

1. Connect supplied charging cable’s 11 USB-C connection to the USB-C port 5 of the 93CPLG.
2. Connect the charging cable’s USB-A port to a charging source (5V DC, Min 1.5A, not included).
3. The Battery Level Indicator 4 will illuminate to indicate charging status. See the table below for details.
4. A full charge can take up to 4 hours, depending on the charger’s output. Charge completely before using.

VERIFYING ACCURACY OF LASER LEVELS

X-PLANE TILT
Position the instrument on the floor as shown and turn on the X-Plane laser beam (FIG. 1). Mark two locations (a, b) on the wall, where a is perpendicular to the window of the horizontal laser and b is H ft from point a. Rotate the instrument 180° and project the beam back through point a. mark point c on the wall, the maximum distance between b and c is shown in the HORIZONTAL BEAM TILT table. To check the horizontal beam tilt of the other two horizontal lines , rotate the instrument 90° and repeat the above steps (FIG. 2).

Y-PLANE AND Z-PLANE BEAM PERPENDICULARITY
Position the instrument on the floor and turn on both the Y-Plane and Z-Plane beams. Mark two 3″ (76 mm) lines where the beams cross on the floor (a, b) and on the ceiling (c, d). Mark four short lines 10″ (254 mm) away on the floor in each direction from where the laser lines cross (FIG. 3). Pick up and rotate the laser level 180° and position the beams to line up with the previously marked floor lines (a, b). Mark two short lines where the beams cross on the ceiling (e, f) (FIG. 4). The maximum distance between the parallel lines ( d and f, or c and e) is shown in the Y-PLANE / Z-PLANE BEAM PERPENDICULARITY table.

90º ACCURACY BETWEEN Y-PLANE AND Z-PLANE BEAMS
Position the instrument on the floor and turn on one of the beams. Mark the center of that beam at three locations (a, b, c) with a spacing of 14′ (4.25 m) (FIG. 5). Turn on the other beam and align so it crosses through b. Mark point e 14′ (4.25 m) from the instrument on the laser line that also passes through mark b (FIG. 6). Rotate the instrument 90° and over the initially marked line so the side laser line passes through b and e and mark point f (FIG. 7). The maximum distance between a and f is shown in the 90º ACCURACY BETWEEN Y-PLANE AND Z-PLANE BEAMS table.

MAINTENANCE
