PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Laser levels GFX 200/GFX 300/GFX 360/GFX 3603 CONDTROL are designed for projecting and controlling of vertical and horizontal planes and lines.

The laser levels have 2 operating modes:
– Locked compensator, to project inclined planes and lines;
– Automatic leveling, which allows to automatically compensate irregularities within self-leveling range of ±5°.
Pulse mode allows to increase working range of the laser level by using the laser receiver or to work when laser is hard to define in bright lighting conditions.
These laser levels are suitable for use at both indoor and outdoor building areas.

BEFORE START OPERATION

Power supply

The device is powered via a 3.7V 3000 mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery included in the delivery package.

Install/charge the Li-ion battery

Install the battery in the battery compartment, observing the polarity.
Use only the battery included in the delivery package.
If the power indicator on the control panel becomes red, charge the battery.
The battery should be charged in the following way:

1. Remove the battery from the device.
2. The battery charging time depends on the current of the adapter used:

| Current| Charging time

---|---|---
1| 500 mA| 6 hours
2| 1000 mA| 3 hours
3| 2A| 1.5 hours

Note: It is forbidden to use adapters with an output voltage of more than 5V! It may lead to damage of the battery.
4) As soon as the charging time runs out, disconnect the charger and put the battery in the battery compartment.

OPERATION

Install the device on a firm and stable surface or tripod.
Move the switch bar to select the required operation mode:

1) Unlocked mode (self-leveling)
Move the switch bar to position ON.
The laser level will switch on.
Short press to switch on required laser lines.
Short press to switch on/off the pulse mode.
Move the switch bar to position OFF to switch off the laser level.

2) Locked mode (projection of inclined planes)
The switch bar is in position OFF.
Press and hold during 3 seconds to switch on the laser.
Long press to switch on required laser lines.
After all possible combinations of lines are switched on, the next long press will switch off the laser level.
Press and hold during 3 seconds to switch on/off the pulse mode.

Note: To increase the operating time and avoid the risk of unintentional blinding switch on the laser only before start operation.
If operated near objects or airflows different from the environment temperature the laser line may tremble due to heterogeneity of the atmosphere. The longer the distance, the more trembling can be observed.
The width of the laser line increases with the increasing of the operating distance. The marking 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) depends on the curvature and slope of the surface relative to the laser plane.

ACCURACY CHECK

Check of horizontal line

GFX200/GFX300
Check of horizontal line is carried out by using 2 walls located opposite each other at a 5m distance.

1. Put the laser level as close as possible to the wall so that laser emitters are located opposite the wall.

2. Move the switch bar to position ON and switch on the horizontal line.
   Mark location of horizontal line on the wall as A1.

3. Rotate the laser level by 180° and mark location of horizontal line on the opposite wall as B1.
   

4. Turn the laser level to the right. Measure vertical deviation of the horizontal line from the point B1. If deviation exceeds 1.5 mm, – please contact the service center.

5. Repeat actions described in point 4 by turning the laser level to the left.
   

6. Move the laser level closer to the opposite wall. Mark location of horizontal line on the wall as B2.

7. Rotate the laser level by 180° and mark location of horizontal line on the opposite wall as A2.

8. Measure the distance dA, dB between points А1, А2 and В1, В2 accordingly. If the difference between values dA, dB exceeds 3 mm – please contact the service center.
   

GFX360/GFX3603
Check of horizontal line is carried out by using 2 walls located opposite each other at a 5m distance.

1. Put the laser level to one of the walls as close as possible.
   Move the switch bar to position ON and switch on both vertical and horizontal planes. Rotate the laser level so that laser emitters are located opposite to the near wall and laser lines cross each other. Mark location of laser lines crossing as А1. Mark location of laser lines crossing on another wall as B1.
   

2. Rotate the laser level by 90°, measure deviation of a laser line from point В1. If deviation exceeds 1.5 mm – please contact the service center.
   

3. Repeat actions described in point 2 twice, rotating the laser level in one direction.

4. Install the laser level closer to the opposite wall. Mark location of laser lines crossing as В2 (points В1, В2 must be located at the same vertical).
   

5. Rotate the laser level by 180°and mark location of laser lines crossing on the opposite wall as A2 (points A1, A2 must be located at the same vertical).

6. Measure distances dA, dB between points А1, А2 and В1, В2 accordingly. If difference between values dA, dB exceeds 3 mm – please contact the service center.
   

Check of vertical line

Use a plumb bob as a reference of a vertical line. Put the laser level at 1.5m distance from the plumb bob.

1. Move the switch bar on position ON, and align vertical laser line with the low point of plumb bob.
2. If deviation between the laser line and the plumb line exceeds 0,3 mm per 1m of plumb bob length (for a 2.5m plumb bob deviation shouldn’t exceed 0.7 mm) – please contact the service center.
   

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Attention! This laser level is a precise optic-mechanical device and requires careful handling. Before starting work, as well as after mechanical influences (falling, bumps), check the accuracy of the device.

Observation of the following recommendations will extend the life of the device:
