AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
AUTO-LEVELLING
This rotation laser first levels itself automatically after turning on the
device. After being levelled, the laser starts spinning. The laser can level
itself within an operating angle of approx. 5°. The auto-levelling system
performs the necessary fine adjustments, with the help of 3 electronic
measuring sensors, one for each axis (X, Y and Z).
TILT SECURITY
The tilt-security avoids measuring errors. By default, the laser will be
active with the tilt-se-curity activated. After turning on the laser or after
activating the tilt-security, the tilt-security is prepared during 60 seconds.
During this time you can install the laser in the correct position. 60 seconds
after you hit the last button, the tilt-secu-rity is active.
When the tilt-security sensors detect a small shock (e.g. a vibration, a gust
of wind, …) the laser will stop turning and start flashing and beeping. This
give you the opportunity to check if the laser is still in the correct
position after the shock. You must exit the tilt function, place the laser in
position and restart the laser to continue. A new preparation process of
approx. 60 seconds willstart before the Tilt-security is active.
Tilt security is the best choice if accuracy is the most important.
BASIC MODE (TILT-SECURITY AND WIND FUNCTION OFF)
In the basic mode the laser will stop spinning if the sensors detect a slight shock, such as a vibration or gust of wind. The laser will re-level automatically and start spinning again when it is levelled again. This function is a compromise between accuracy and efficiency.
WIND FUNCTION
The wind function is often used when you need to work on a vibrating surface,
or in windy conditions. Also, when quick levelling is needed. The laser
doesn’t stop spinning when the wind function is active, even if the sensors
detect slight shocks. The levelling takes place while the laser is spinning.
You can continue to work.
IMPORTANT
Keep in mind that this is the least accurate method of working. Measurement errors can occur.
USE
Press the power button [A] to activate the device.
NOTE
The choice of the tripod defines in a large way the user-friendliness of the device.If the workplace has a high light intensity, for example when working outside in a sunny area, you will need a laser receiver to detect the laser beam.
HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT
After turning on the device, the laser light blinks without spinning. The LED indicators X-axis [L] and Y-axis [M] blink green during levelling. When levelled, the laser beam and the LED indicators X-axis [L] and Y-axis [M] will light continuously and the laser will start spinning at 600 rotations per minute, the optimal speed for usage with a receiver.By default, the Tilt security will be prepared after turning on the device.
NOTE
The device should not be placed on a surface with a slope of more than 5°. If this is the case, the laser is outside the self-levelling range, in which case the laser diode will continue to blink and the LED indicator slope [N] will flash red.
PLUMB LINE
Thanks to the plumb line, which are projected via Plumb point up [02] and Plumb point down [08], this device can also be used to bring a plumb lead point of the floor to the ceiling, or visa versa.
- Mark the starting point.
- Place the laser beam exactly on this starting point
- Now you can mark the opposite plumb point accordingly.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
Put the device on its feet in vertical mode [10] for vertical alignment (the keypad should be at the top). The LED indicator Y-axis [M] will blink during levelling. When levelled, the laser beam and the LED indicator Y-axis [M] will light continuously and the laser will start spinning at 600 rotations per minute, the optimal speed for usage with a receiver.
NOTE
The device should not be placed on a surface with a slope of more than 5°. If this is the case, the laser is outside the levelling range, in which case the laser diode will continue to blink and the LED indicator slope [N] will flash red.
POSITIONING THE VERTICAL LASER LINE
In vertical alignment mode, the laser can be positioned exactly. The laser will continue to level while positioning the vertical laser line.
- Use the arrow LEFT button [D, d] or arrow RIGHT button [E, e] to move the vertical laser line.
CORNERS OF 90°
- In vertical position, it is possible to project corners of 90°.
- Place the laser head [01] as precisely as possible above the starting point, the place where the corner of 90° is made. It can be helpful to change the spinning speed to zero when positioning the laser above the starting point.
- above the starting point, the place where the corner of 90° is made.
- It can be helpful to change the spinning speed to zero when positioning the laser above the starting point.
- Bring the rotating laser beam with the help of the arrow LEFT button [D, d] or arrow RIGHT button [E, e] to your first mark.
- The Plumb point up [02] (and Plumb point down [02]) show each a corner of 90° with the rotating laser line.
SPINNING SPEED
This device has multiple speeds spinning. 0, 60, 300, 600 and 800 RPM (rotations per minute). The default rotation speed is 600 RPM.
- Press the speed button [F, f] to select the desired speed. Each time you press this button, the speed will change. 600 – 800 – 0 – 60 – 300 – 600 – 800 – …
A speed of 0 RPM projects a stationary laser point. This can be positioned
exactly at the measuring point with the turn LEFT button [J, c] or turn RIGHT
button [K, b] button.
NOTE
The slower the rotational speed, the better the visibility with the human eye. A faster rotation speed is necessary to use a laser receiver (600 RPM recommended for handheld receiver, 800 RPM recommended for machine receiver)
SCAN FUNCTION
The scan function allows to limit of the laser beam to an angle instead of the complete 360° circle. This creates a light-intensive segment that increases the visibility of the human eye. Possible angles of the scan function are 0°, 10°, 45°, 90° and 180°.
- Press the scan button [G, g] to select the desired angle of the scan function. Each time you press this button, the angle will change. 0° – 10° – 45° – 90° – 180° – 0° – 10° – …
You can move the position of the light-intensive segment by pressing the turn LEFT button [J, c] or turn RIGHT button [K, b] button.
SLOPE FUNCTION
Standard, the instrument shows a 100% horizontal or vertical laser beam. When needed, the laser can project a sloped laser beam. To set up slopes, you must take a few steps in the right order.
NOTE
Keep in mind that auto-levelling is disabled when working with the slope function. The LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] will switch from green to red to warn you that auto-levelling is not active.
HORIZONTAL SLOPE, <5°
- Place the laser in its horizontal (normal) posi-tion.
- Position the x-axis [04] and y-axis [05] of the laser device (shown on the metal window cover [17]) exactly in parallel with the direction of the slope(s) you want to make.
- Turn on the device and wait until it is levelled (LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] are solid green).
- Choose a distance in the direction of the slope that needs to be set up. (e.g. 10m)
- Place the receiver by means of the measuring rod holder on a measuring rod and slide the receiver until the laser beam is at the zero level of the receiver.
- Activate the Slope function with the slope button [H]. (LED slope indicator [N] turns red, LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] turns off).
- Next, you position the receiver at the desired slope. (e.g. 2% slope on 10m = height difference of 20cm up or down)
- Search the zero level of the receiver with the laser beam using OR the arrow UP [B, b] or DOWN [C, c] button (for a slope on the Y-axis) OR the arrow LEFT [D, d] / RIGHT [E,e] button (for a slope on the X-axis) The LED-indicator X-axis [L] turns red after you selected a slope on the X-axis. The LED indicator Y-axis [M] turns red after you select a slope on the Y-axis.
- Your laser is set with the desired slope.
VERTICAL SLOPE, <5°
- Place the laser in its vertical position (on the feet vertical mode[10]).
- Turn on the device and wait until it is levelled (LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] are solid green).
- Activate the Slope function with the slope but-ton [H]. (LED slope indicator [N], LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] are solid red).
- Use the arrow UP [B, b] or DOWN [C, c] button to set a slope on the vertical line. (If you want, you can reposition the vertical line using the arrow LEFT [D, d] or RIGHT [E, e] button.)
- Your laser is set with the desired slope.
HORIZONTAL SLOPE, >5°
Steeper slopes, slopes outside the laser levelling range, can be set using a slope adapter, which is available as an optional accessory.
In case you use this slope adapter:
- Place the laser in its horizontal (normal) position on the slope adapter. Make sure the slope adapter is at is 0% position.
- Position the laser in the correct axis direction, parallel with the slope line you like to make.
- Turn on the device and wait until it is levelled (LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] are solid green).
- Activate the Slope function with the slope but-ton [H]. (LED slope indicator [N], LED indicator X-axis [L] and LED indicator Y-axis [M] turn off).
- Set the slope adapter in the desired slope. The percentage of slope is normally marked on the slope adapter)
- Your laser is set with the desired slope.
ANTI-REFLECTION
In some cases, unwanted reflections may occur while using a laser, for example when the laser beam shines on glass. This can lead to inaccurate measurement results and affect the proper functioning of the laser receiver. It is possible to shield part of the laser beam along the side where the reflection may occur. To do this, use the supplied laser cover pieces [16] by sliding them into the metal window cover [17]. Simply remove this laser cover piece [16] when covering is no longer needed.
