SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Attention! This user manual is an essential part of this product.
The user manual should be read carefully before you use the product for the first time. If the product is given to someone for temporary use, be sure to enclose user manual to it.
– Do not misuse the product
– Do not remove warning signs and protect them from abrasion, because they contain information about safe operation of the product.

-Do not look into the laser beam or its reflection, with an unprotected eye or through an optical instrument. Do not point the laser beam at people or animals without the need. You can dazzle them.
-To protect your eyes close them or look aside.
– Always install the product in such a way, so that the laser line is below or above eye level.
– Do not let unauthorized people enter the zone of product operation.
– Store the product beyond the reach of children and unauthorized people.
– It is prohibited to disassemble or repair the product yourself. Entrust product repair to qualified personnel and use original spare parts only.
– Do not use the product in an explosive environment, or close to flammable materials.
– Laser-intensive glasses are used for better recognition of the laser beam, do not use them for other purposes. Laser glasses do not protect from laser radiation as well as ultraviolet radiation and reduce color perception.
– Avoid heating the batteries to avoid the risk of explosion and electrolyte leakage. In case of liquid contact with skin, wash it immediately with soap and water. In case of contact with eyes, flush with clean water for 10 minutes and consult the doctor.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Cross-line laser NEO X1-360/X2-360 CONDTROL is intended to build and check vertical and horizontal planes and lines. The product is suitable for use at both indoor and outdoor building areas. The product has 2 operating modes:
– locked compensator, to build inclined planes and lines;
– automatic leveling to project horizontal and vertical planes and lines. Leveling function allows to automatically compensate irregularities within the self-leveling range of ±4,5°.
Pulse mode allows using a laser receiver to increase the working range of the instrument or to work when the laser is hard to define in bright lighting conditions.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• The operating range may differ from the declared depending on the lighting conditions.

OPERATION

Before starting the operation removes the battery cover, insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity. Put the battery cover back. Use alkaline AA batteries only, all batteries should be of the same type and brand with the same charge level. Replace batteries if the battery charge level indicator turns red while operation.

Place an instrument on a firm and stable surface or a tripod.
Move the compensator lock to choose a necessary operating mode:

1. Automatic leveling, to build horizontal and vertical planes and lines:
   Move the compensator lock to the unlocked position.   The compensator is unlocked. If the product is out of the range of automatic compensation it will emit a sound signal. Short press button LINE to turn on necessary laser planes.
   Short press button MODE to switch on/off pulse mode that allows working with a laser receiver. In this mode, the pulse mode indicator will turn green.
   To switch off the product move the compensator lock to the locked position.

2. Locked compensators, to build inclined planes and lines:
   Move the compensator lock to the locked position. The compensator is locked. Short press the button MODE to turn on the product. The horizontal plane will switch on. The locked pendulum indicator turns red. Short press button MODE to turn on necessary laser planes.

CHECK OF HORIZONTAL LINE

NEO X1-360
Use 2 parallel vertical walls which are located opposite each other at a distance of 5 m.

1. Set the instrument close to wall A (see Fig. A). Switch on the vertical and horizontal laser emitters, and unlock the compensator. Turn the instrument in such a way that the laser lines intersecting each other are projected on the near wall A opposite the instrument. Mark the point where laser lines intersect each other as A1. Mark point B1 on the far wall B.

2. Turn the instrument by 90°, and check whether the horizontal line is level with point B1 (see Fig. В). If the deviation between the laser line and point B1 is more than ±1.5 mm, please contact the service center.

3. Repeat step 2 two times more, turning the instrument in one direction.

4. Move the instrument to the opposite wall B, and mark the point where laser lines intersect each other as B2 (points B1, and B2 must be on the same vertical line) (see Fig. C).
   

5. Turn the instrument by 180 ° and mark the point where laser lines intersect each other on the opposite wall as A2 (A1, A2 must be on the same vertical line) (see figure D).

6. Measure distance dA between points A1 and A2 and dB between points B1 and B2 (see Figure D). If the deviation between dA and dB values exceeds 3 mm, please contact the service center.

NEO X2-360
Use 2 parallel vertical walls which are located opposite each other at
a distance of 5 m.

1. Set the instrument close to wall A (see Fig. A). Switch on the vertical and horizontal laser emitters, and unlock the compensator. Turn the instrument in such a way that the laser lines intersecting each other are projected on the near wall A opposite the instrument. Mark the point where laser lines intersect each other as A1.

2. Turn the instrument by 180°, and mark the point where laser lines intersect each other on the opposite wall as В2. (see Fig. В).

3. Move the instrument to the opposite wall B and set it in such a way so that the point where laser lines intersect each other would be on the same level as point B2.
   

4. Turn the instrument by 180°, and direct the instrument to the wall А in such a way so that the vertical line would coincide with point А1. Mark the point of intersecting laser line on the wall А as A3. (see. Fig. D).

5. Measure distance d between points А1 and А3 (see. Fig. D). If this distance exceeds 3 mm, please contact the service center.

CHECK OF VERTICAL LINE

Use a plumb bob as a reference of a vertical line. Place the instrument at a distance of 1,5m from the plumb bob.

1. Unlock the compensator, switch on the vertical laser line and align it with the low point of a plumb bob.
2. If the deviation between the laser line and the plumb bob line exceeds ±0.3 mm per 1m of the plumb bob length (for a 2.5m plumb bob deviation shouldn’t exceed 0.75 mm) please contact the service center.
3. Turn the instrument by 180° and align the vertical laser line with the low point of the plumb bob once again*.

• NEO X2-360 only.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Attention! The product is an accurate optical mechanic device and requires careful handling. Check the accuracy before using. To increase the operating time and avoid the risk of unintentional blindness switch the laser on only when you are ready to make measurements.
If operated near objects or air streams different from the environment temperature the laser line may tremble due to the heterogeneity of the atmosphere. The longer is the distance, the more trembling can be observed The width of the laser line increases with the increasing of the operating distance. The layout should be made along the axis of the
laser line. For maximum accuracy, use the middle portion of the laser line.
It should be noted that the shape of the laser line on the object’s surface (e.g., walls, ceilings, etc.) depends on the curvature and tilt of the surface relative to the laser plane.

Maintenance of the following recommendations will extend the life of the device:
– Transport and carry the product only with a locked compensator.
– Keep the product clean and protected from any bumps, dust, and dampness; do not allow getting moisture, dust, or other dirt inside of the product.
– In case if any moisture goes into the product, remove the batteries and take it to the service center.
– Do not keep or use the device for a long time at high humidity conditions.
