OVERVIEW

LOW BATTERY INDICATION (CLR215, CLG220)
When the voltage is low, the brightness of the laser is reduced and the low battery indication fl ashes at a frequency once every 0.5 seconds. From now on it is still possible to continue the work.
It automatically shuts down when the voltage is to low.

CHANGE BATTERIES

Change the batteries when the laser beams begin to dim. If the cross laser is not in use for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the battery compartment. This will prevent batteries from leaking and corrosion damage .

MAGNETIC WALL MOUNT

Use the magnetic wall mount to fix the laser to a wall or metallic structures or similar.

GREEN TARGET PLATE (CLG220-K ONLY)
Use a green target plate to improve the visibility of the laser beam in unfavorable conditions and greater distances.

CEILING CLAMP (CLG220-K ONLY)
Use the wall mount additionally to fix the laser magnetically to the ceiling kit. Use the ceiling kit to clamp the laser to ceiling channels, and racks.

WORKING IN SELF-LEVELING MODE

In self-leveling mode, the cross laser will level itself in a ±3° range and can project a horizontal beam, a vertical beam (CLR215 only) or both beams simultaneously.

1. Place the cross laser on a solid fl at a vibration-free surface or on a tripod.

2. Slide the locking switch to the ON position.

3. The cross laser will generate 2 laser beams.

4. CLR215 only:
   Choose the beams that you want to work with by pushing the button. Switch the ON or OFF beam by pressing the button for more than 1 second.

5. If the initial level of the cross laser is beyond ± 3° and the self-leveling mode is activated, the laser beams will flash In this case reposition the cross laser.

6. Before moving the cross laser, slide the locking switch to the OFF position. This will lock the pendulum and protect your cross laser.

WORKING IN MANUAL MODE

In manual mode the cross lasers self-leveling mechanism is disabled and the laser lines can be set at any slope required.

1. Place the cross laser on a solid flat a vibration-free surface or on a tripod.

2. Long press the I/O button (do not slide the locking switch!). The operation LED indicator will light up.

3. Same as in the self-leveling mode, the cross laser will generate 2 laser beams, but the laser beams are interrupted every 3 seconds.

4. CLR215 only:
   Choose the beams that you want to work with by pushing the operation push button.

5. Tilt the laser using a tripod and adjust to the desired angle and height.

6. For CLR215, long press the I/O button to turn off the manual mode. For CLG220, short press the I/O button to turn off the manual mode. It is possible to switch directly to the self-leveling mode by sliding the locking switch to the ON position.

ACCURACY CHECK

This cross laser left the factory fully calibrated. AEG recommends the user to check the accuracy of the laser periodically, especially if the unit falls or is mishandled. If the maximum deviation of the laser is exceeded in one of the accuracy checks, please contact one of our AEG service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).

1. Checking the height accuracy of the horizontal beam.
2. Checking the leveling accuracy of the horizontal beam.
3. Checking the leveling accuracy of the vertical beam.

Before checking the laser accuracy, after mounting the laser on the tripod, check the leveling of the tripod.

CHECKING THE HEIGHT ACCURACY OF THE HORIZONTAL BEAM (UP AND DOWN DEVIATION)

1. Set up the laser on a tripod or on a flat surface between two walls A and B, approximately 5 meters apart.
2. Position the laser level approximately 0.5 meters from wall A.
3. Switch ON the self-leveling mode and press the button to project the horizontal and vertical cross beams towards wall A.
4. Mark the center of the cross beams on the wall as a1.
5. Turn the laser 180° towards wall B and mark the center of the cross beams as b1 on the wall.
6. Move the laser level towards wall B and position it approximately 0.5 meters from wall B.
7. Mark on wall B the center of the cross beams as b2. If the b1 & b2 are not overlapping, adjust the tripod height to make sure b1& b2 are overlapping.
8. Turn the laser 180° towards wall A, and mark on the wall the center of the cross beams as a2.
9. 9. Measure the distances:
   • a= |a2 – a1|
   • b= |b1- b2|
10. The difference a-b| should be no more than 3 mm for CLR215 or 4 mm for CLG220.

CHECKING THE LEVEL ACCURACY OF THE HORIZONTAL BEAM (SIDE-TO-SIDE INCLINATION)

For this check, a free surface of approx. 5 x 5 meters is required.

1. Set up the laser on a tripod or on a solid surface between two walls A and B, approximately 5 meters apart.
2. Position the laser level approximately 2.5 meters from the center of the room.
3. Switch ON the self-leveling mode and press the button to project the horizontal line towards walls A and B.
4. Mark the center of the laser line point a1 on wall A and point b1 on wall B.
5. Move the laser level approximately 5 meters away and turn the laser 180° towards walls A and B.
6. Mark the center of the laser line point a2 on wall A and point b2 on wall B.
7. Measure the distances:
   • Δa= |a2- a1|
   • Δb= |b1- b2|
8. The difference | Δa – Δb| should be no more than
   • 3 mm for CLR215
   • 4 mm for CLG220

CHECKING THE LEVEL ACCURACY OF THE VERTICAL BEAM

1. Hang an approximately 4 m plumb line on a wall.
2. After the plumb line has settled, mark point a1 on the wall, behind the plumb line, near the plumb cone.
3. Set up the cross laser on a tripod or on a flat surface in front of the wall at a distance of approximately 2 m.
4. Switch ON the self-leveling mode, and press the button to project the vertical beam towards the plumb line.
5. Turn the laser so that the vertical beam will merge with the plumb line below the hanging point.
6. Mark point a2 on the wall, in the middle of the vertical beam at the same height as a1.
7. The distance between a1 and a2 should be no more than
   • 1.5 mm for CLR215
   • 1.6 mm for CLG220.
