MPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the calibration of the instrument before each use. See section 7.

Using the Rotary Laser

Horizontal or Vertical Position

The Johnson Rotary Laser can be used in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on your needs.
Horizontal Laser Beam
Position Place the rotary laser in an upright position, either on a stable, flat surface, or mount it to a tripod with a 5/8″-11 threaded screw. (Figure 17)

Figure 17

Vertical Laser Beam Position
Place the rotary laser on the side opposite the control panel, either on a stable, flat surface, or mount it to a tripod with a 5/8″-11 threaded screw. (Figure 18)

Figure 18

Automatic Mode

This feature enables the automatic leveling function of the rotary laser.

IMPORTANT: It is best practice to ensure the Shock Warning feature is engaged when the unit is in Automatic Mode. This will prevent the unit from re-leveling if the unit is bumped, jarred, or in any way moved from its original position while turned on. If the unit’s position does change, verify the unit’s position (for example, height) to the potentially changed conditions. It is best to turn the unit off before you move it

  1. Press the button to power on/off the rotary laser. The rotary laser enters automatic leveling mode by default. During leveling, indicator “c” flashes green. After leveling, indicator “c” is steady green. The rotary laser will rotate at 600 rpm.
    Power/Battery LED: Steady green LED indicates power is on and battery power is greater than 30%.
    Steady red LED indicates power is on and battery power is between 30% and 10%.
    Flashing red LED indicates power is on and less than 10%. Charge or change the batteries.
    Extinguished LED indicates power is off or battery has been depleted

  2. If the rotary laser is placed out of the working angle (5°), indicator “c” flashes red. At the same time the X LED and/or the Y LED flashes red. These indicate the direction that is out of working angle. Adjust the rotating laser position as directed by the indicator in the corresponding direction until the X and/or Y LED turns off and only the “c” LED flashes. Continue leveling the unit until indicator “c” is steady green.

Rotation Speed Mode

This feature changes the rotating speed of the laser.
Press the button to change the rotating speed from the default 600 rpm to 1200 rpm, 0 rpm, 100 rpm, or 300 rpm. Each time this button is pressed, the rotating speed cycles through the rpm settings.

NOTE:

  • When starting the unit, the laser will rotate at 600 rpm.
  • A lower speed (0 – 300 rpm) is recommended for indoor use to give the best beam visibility.
  • A higher speed (600 – 1200 rpm) is recommended when used with a detector

Point/Line Segment Mode (Scan Mode)

This feature changes the 360° rotating laser to either a line segment laser or a single laser point.

  1. To change from a 360° rotating laser to a laser point or line, press the button. This can be done when the rotary laser is working in either Automatic or Manual mode. Each time this button is pressed, the laser will cycle successively from 15°, 30°, 60°, or 0°.
  2. In Point/Line Segment mode, press button to adjust the position of the laser line clockwise or press  button to adjust the position of the laser line counterclockwise.
  3. Press the button to exit Point/Line Segment Mode.

Shock-Warning Function (Automatic Mode only)

This feature alerts if the unit has changed position while in Automatic mode. This may be the result of something striking the unit, strong winds shifting the unit, or shaking on the ground. It prevents the rotary laser from auto leveling after it changes height, thus preventing vertical height errors.

  1. Press button to start the Auto Detect Shock function. The LED next to the button will illuminate green. If the rotary laser is affected by wind, is moved or tilted, the rotary laser will automatically stop rotating, the laser point will flash, and the LED next to the button will flash red.
  2. To clear the alarm, ensure the rotary laser is back in position, and press the button. The flashing red LED indicator turns off. The unit will enter the automatic mode again to self-level. Reconfirm the leveling height.
  3. Press the button once to start or remove the shockproof function.

Manual Mode Function

This feature allows the rotary laser unit to be placed in an angled position. It can be used with the unit in either Rotation mode or Point/Line Segment mode. When the unit is in Manual mode, accuracy of the device is based on the skill and accuracy of the end user. When used in this mode, specified accuracy is not applicable.

  1. Press the button for three seconds to enter Manual mode. The LED “e” will illuminate a steady green. The automatic leveling mode is off, and the rotary laser can be placed at any angle.
  2. Press the button for three seconds to exit Manual mode and return to Automatic mode.

Slope Mode Function

This feature allows the rotary laser to adjust the pitch of the laser line. Follow the markings on the housing of your unit, as you are looking at the front of it.
