FUNCTIONS

AUTO-LEVELLING

The Multicross 8 High Precision (Single Dot) automatically levels itself after turning on the device. The laser can level itself within an operating angle of approx. 3,5°. The auto-levelling system performs the necessary fine adjustments, with the help of electronic measuring sensors, one for each axis.

SLOPE

There are 2 different manners of using the slope function of the Multicross 8 High Precision (Single Dot): manual and electronic.

LASER DOTS

only on single dot versions: 040.08 & 040.08g

The laserdots, one exactly in the center each laser line, increases the visibility of the laser beam for the human eye.

Because the point is placed exactly centrally on the line, the point of the horizontal lines coincides perfectly with the intersection of the vertical lines. This gives you the opportunity to setup corners easier.

USE

Press the power button [A] to turn on the device. Two horizontal laser lines will be activated, auto levelling will start.

NOTE
The choice of the tripod determines the user-friendliness of the device.

If the workplace has a high brightness, for example when working outside in a sunny area, you will need a laser receiver to detect the laser beam. (see further)

AUTO LEVELLING

After turning on the device or when you turn off the slope mode, self levelling will automatically place the laserlines 100% levelled.
While levelling, the indicator LED Y-axis [F] flashes green.
When levelling is finished, and the laser lines are 100% levelled, the indicator LED Y-axis [F] will be green.
Auto Levelling

The laser can level itself in a range of approx. 3,5° in every direction. This means the laser can show 100% horizontal or vertical lines when placed on a sloped surface of approx. 3,5° maximum.
Auto Levelling

In case the laser is placed on a surface that exceeds the 3,5°, a levelled horizontal or vertical laser line will no longer be possible.
The indicator LED Y-axis [F] and the laser lines will start flashing.
Auto Levelling

Place the laser device on a flatter surface, within the levelling range of 3,5° or turn the adjustable feet [08] to bring the device within the 3.5° levelling range if possible. The laser will self level automatically when placed within its levelling range.

NOTE
When a tripod is used, the adjustable feet will have no effect.

SWITCHING ON/OFF LASER LINES

When switching on the device, only two of the four horizontal laser lines will be activated.

HORIZONTAL LASER LINES

To change the projected horizontal laser lines, press the H-button for horizontal lines [B].

Press the H-button [B] a first time to switch on all horizontal lines.
Press the H-button [B] a second time time to switch off all horizontal lines.
Press the H-button [B] again to switch on two of the four horizontal laser lines.
… (these three previous steps will repeat)

VERTICAL LASER LINES

To change the projected vertical laser lines, press the V-button for vertical lines [C]

Press the V-button [C] a first time to switch on two of the four verical laser lines and the plumb point (projected from the tripod thread [05]).
Press the V-button [C] a second time to switch on all vertical laser lines and the plumb point (projected from the tripod thread [05]).
Press the V-button [C] a third time to switch off all vertical lines and the plumb point (projected from the tripod thread [05]).
… (these four previous steps will repeat)

NOTE

When at least two vertical lines are switched on, you can measure an exact angle of 90° or show a plumb line (imaginary line between the cross on the floor and the cross on the ceiling)

USING A LASER RECEIVER

When you work over long distances or the workplace has a high brightness, laser lines will be less visible for the human eye. In this case, you can use a laser receiver to detect the laser lines.

Press the receiver button [D] to activate the reveiver mode. The indicator LED X-axis [G] on the device will light green.
When the receiver mode is switched on, the laser line will pulsing extremely fast. It appears to the human eye that the intensity of the laser line(s) will decreas slightly.
When switched on, you can locate the laser lines with a receiver.

Press the receiver button [D] again to deactivate the receiver mode.

It looks the laser lines will become brighter again (stops pulsing). Detection by a laser receiver is no longer possible.

NOTE

The Multicross 8 High Precision (Single Dot) will pulse with a frequency of 10KHz. That means your laser receiver must support a frequency of 10KHz. Please refer to your laser receiver manual for further support.
It is not possible to switch ON/OFF the receiver mode when the slope function is activated, since the receiver button [D] uses his secondary function when slope is active.
Switch on the receiver mode first in order to use the receiver mode in combination with the slope function.

SLOPE FUNCTION

When switching on the device, the self leveling mode is automatically actived. In case you need to project sloped lines, you can switch off the automatic levelling by activating the slope mode.
The Multicross 8 High Precision (Single Dot) offers 2 ways to use slope, manual and electronic.

Activate the slope with the slope button [E].
Change back to automatic levelling (turn off slope mode) by pressing the slope button [E] again.

NOTE

During slope is activated, the H-button [B], V-button [C] and Reveiver button [D] will change from their main function to their secondary function, which are shown with a white background on the buttons.
Slope Function

When activate slope function, all horizontal laser lines and two vertical lines will be activated. The plumb point projected from the tripod thread [05] will only be visible when at least two vertical lines are active before the slope function was activated.

When activating the slope function, receiver mode will automatically activated too.

MANUAL SLOPE

When using manual slope mode you can use the adjustable feet [11] to gently position te device at the desired slope. You can also physically position the device at the desired slope by using an inclined surface or a slope adapter (optional accessory) in combination with a tripod adapter.

NOTE
Manual slope is the only way te set sloped lines that exceed the levelling range of the device.

Activate the manual slope mode by pressing the slope button [E] in the center of the keypad [03].

When the manual slope mode is active, the slope indicator LED [H] becomes red and the indicator LED Y-axis [F] starts flashing green to indicate the Y-axis can be set (see further, electronic slope).

Bring the laser in the desired slope using the adjustable feet [11], a slope adapter (optional accessory) in combination with a tripod adapter or by place the laser on a sloping surface.
To deactiviate the manual slope mode, press the slope button [E] a second time.

Slope mode is now no longer active and your device will start levelling (indicator LED Y-axis [F] flashes green).

ELECTRONIC SLOPE

Electronic levelling works very similarly to manual levelling. However, setting the slope is done by the levelling motors within the levelling range of 3,5°.

NOTE
We recommend the use of a laser receiver in combination with a rod to set slopes. This will make it easier to find the desired heights on each corner of the sloped surface.
Manual Slope

Activate the manual slope mode by pressing the slope button [E] in the center of the keypad [03].

When the manual slope mode is active, the slope indicator LED [H] becomes red and the indicator LED Y-axis [F] starts flashing green to indicate slope can be set in parallel with the Y-axis.

Press or hold the V-button [C] to make the laser line descends on the side pointed by the arrow of the Y-axis.
Press or hold the H-button [B] to make the laser line rises on the side pointed by the arrow of the Y-axis.
To change to the Y-axis, press the receiver button [D].

The indicator LED Y-axis [F] stops flashing, the indicator LED X-axis [G] starts flashing. This shows the device is ready to be set the slope in parallel with the X-axis.

Press or hold the V-button [C] to make the laser line rises on the side pointed by the arrow of the Y-axis.
Press or hold the receiver button [D] to make the laser line descend on the side pointed by the arrow of the Y-axis.

The slope is now set on the X- and Y-axes.

If you like, you can go back to adapt the Y-axis by pressing the H-button [B]. The indicator LED X-axis [G] will no longer fl ash. The indicator LED Y-axis [F] will starts flashing. This shows the Y-axis is ready to set.

You can repeat this steps as much you like.

Turn off the slope mode by pressing the slope button [E].

The laser is going to auto-level itself again.
