OPERATING MODES

INSTALLING THE LASER LEVEL
Place the tool on the stable support in a horizontal or vertical position. The tool can compensate a tilt automatically up to ± 5°.

NOTE : to project the vertical plane in automatic mode, place the tool with the keypad up. Use 5/8″ (at the bottom or on the side of the tool) thread to set a tool on the tripod. For precise positioning above the target location, use the plumb down point. Due to its high accuracy, the device reacts very sensitively to vibrations and changes in position.

HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL PLANE (AUTOMATIC MODE)

1. Press the button ON (№14 pic.2). The power indicator (№13 pic.2) and Remote operation Indicator (№8 pic.2), will light up. Shock warning Indicator (№12, pic 2) will blink. If the tool is out of range (±5° ), the Manual indicator (№20, рic.2) and laser diode will blink, the rotation will not begin. Turn off the tool and remove the inclination more than ±5°.
2. Verify that the instrument is in automatic mode. The Manual indicator (№9, рic.2) will blink while self-leveling.
3.  The tool is ready for work. When the Power indicator (№1 рiс.2) is lit, the Manual indicator (№9 рiс.2) has stopped blinking, and the laser beams are projected. The tool is now leveled and the laser head rotates clockwise at 600 pm. The shock warning indicator (№12 pic.2) will stop blinking in 60 sec after switching on.

SHOCK WARNING MODE
The tool is equipped with a warning function about displacement. Such a function prevents automatic self-leveling on the revised height. As a result, it avoids errors during laser marks.

OPERATION FROM THE TOOL KEYPAD

1.  SHOCK WARNING mode is activated automatically in 60 sec after switching on and self-leveling. Indicator (№12 pic.2) starts blinking. In 60 sec when the self-leveling is completed, the mode is activated and the indicator (№12 pic.2) lits constantly.
2.  If the tool shifts from its initial position after the activation of SHOCK WARNING mode, laser head rotation stops and the laser emitter will blink frequently. SHOCK WARNING indicator (№12 pic.2) and manual mode indicator (№9 pic.2) will blink frequently on the keypad of the tool.
3.  Check the position of the tool. If necessary return it to its initial position.
4.  Press the button (№11 pic.2) to switch off a SHOCK WARNING mode. The tool starts to self-level automatically. The manual mode indicator (№9 pic.2) will blink while the tool is self-leveling.
5. To switch on SHOCK WARNING mode again, press the button (№11 pic.2). Indicator (№12 pic.2) starts blinking. In 60 seconds after the self-leveling process, the mode is activated and the LED indicator (№12 pic.2) lits constant-ly. If SHOCK WARNING mode isn’t switched on, the tool will self-level after every displacement.

OPERATION FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL

1.  The symbol appears on the display of the remote of SHOCK WARNING mode is on.
2.  If a displacement occurs, icons will blink on the display.
3. Press the button (№4 pic 3) on the remote to switch off a SHOCK WARNING mode. The tool will automatically self-level. The icon will be off.
4.  To switch SHOCK WARNING mode again, press the button (№4 pic.3). SHOCK The WARNING icon will appear on the display of the remote.

INCLINED PLANE (SEMI-AUTO MODE)
ROTARY 500 HV Servo / ROTARY 500 HV – G Servo can project the inclined plane (±5º) along X-axis. Leveling along Y-axis will be realized automatically. Consider this feature of the mode when installing the device before operation. Use this function when creating slopes, e.g. ramps.
