   OR

2. Fix the rechargeable battery box into the instrument.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Connect the charger with the charging plug of the instrument and the power source. If the charging LED is red the battery is being charged; if the LED is green the battery is fully charged.
ATTENTION
The rechargeable battery can be charged if it is in the instrument or if it is ouside.

OPERATION

Set-up the laser on a flat and even surface or mount onto a tripod.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to power on the laser.
After POWER ON the laser automatically self-levels. The laser beam and the TILT LED (4) flash indicating that the automatic self-levelling procedure is activated. This self-levelling procedure may take up to 90 sec. When completed the TILT LED (4) is illuminated. The laser starts rotating at 800 rpm. If the TILT LED (4) continues to flash and the alarm beep sounds the laser was most likely set up outside of its self-levelling range of ± 5°. Re-position the instrument on more even surface.
OPERATION – INSTRUMENT KEYPAD

ON / OFF BUTTON (1)
Press this button to power on and off the unit. If the red LED (2) lights the instrument is powered on.
After powering on the instrument the self-levelling procedure starts automatically. Thereafter, the laser will rotate with 800 rpm.
If in normal use the LED (2) flashes the battery has to be recharged.
HORIZONTAL SLOPE SETTING IN X-AXIS (7 + 8)
Press the upper % button (7) to set the grade from 1% to 6%
Press the lower % button (8) to set the grade from 0,1% to 0,9%
Any value between 0,1% and 6,9% can be set in 0,1% steps
Both %-rows can be set individually or together.
The lasers acceptance of the %-value is stepless.
The chosen grade setting is indicated by the respective LED.
2nd axis (Y)

• Self-levelled
  or

• Manual grade setting with the remote control (description see page 28)

TILT FUNCTION (3)
After POWER ON the laser automatically activates the TILT function. The TILT LED (4) is flashing during the activation procedure. When it is completed (after 90 sec. approx.) the LED is illuminated. If the laser is disturbed rotation stops and the laser beam and TILT LED (4) will flash. The laser will not re-level automatically.
To quit the TILT function press button (3).
If the laser is disturbed (i. e. due to a positional change of the tripod) it will automatically self-level (within the self-levelling range of 5°); a height offset can occur. This will be avoided by using the TILT function. The use of this function ensures that the laser is shut off even within the self- levelling range if the laser is disturbed. Power on the unit and wait until the self-levelling procedure is completed.
VIBRATION-WIND-SECURITY FUNCTION (V-W-S) (5)
Press button (5) to activate the V-W-S function. The V-W-S LED (6) is illuminted and the TILT LED (4) starts flashing. When the V-W-S LED (6) and the TILT LED (4) are both illuminated the V-W-S function is activated. The V-W-S function automatically activates the TILT function. This function allows continuous operation during periods of vibration and wind. If a significant movement occurs the laser stops rotating and the TILT LED (4) and the laser beam start flashing. Press the V-W-S button (5) to quit. Press the V-W-S button (5) once again for re-activation.
OPERATION WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL

HORIZONTAL USE
In order to set a second gradient (i. e. paving works) also the Y axis can be tilted manually. The operation is made with the buttons (12) / (13) of the remote control.
If the Y axis has been tiled manually the LED (2) of the laser will light green permanently.
To quit these slope functions power off the laser first and then power on again.
VERTICAL USE

• Unfold the datum point on the integrated floor mount and set up the laser in its vertical (lay-down) position.
• The laser automatically self-levels in this position.
• Set the ciruclar bubble as accurately as possible by using the two thumb screws. This ensures that the instrument is set within its self-levelling range and the rotating beam is centered over its datum point.

VERTICAL AXIS DIRECTION IN Y-AXIS WITH REMOTE CONTROL (12 + 13)
The direction of the Y-axis can be set manually up to 5°, the second axis remains self-levelled. In vertical direction a slope setting is not possible.
The axis direction is to be set with the buttons (12) / (13) of the remote control. If the Y axis has been shifted the LED (2) of the laser will light green permanently.
To quit the axis direction function bring the laser in a horizontal position and power off the laser first and then power on again.
When the self-levelling procedure is completed the TILT function is automtically active, the V-W-S function can be activated.
ON / OFF REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION (9)
With this button the remote control can be powered off – but not the instrument.
Press the ON/OFF button of the remote; the instrument will be in standby function. The ON/OFF LED of the laser flashes. The values set will remain.
If the batteries of the remote are empty each key pressure will cause a permanent sound.
LED REMOTE CONTROL (10)
This LED flashes if any button is used and a beep sounds.
TILT FUNCTION (11)
See top of page 27.
With the remote control only the Y axis can be set.

->Move the receiver down.| Indication 3
The LED „0-position“ bar is illuminated. Acoustic signal: Continuous beep. -> On level.

PLEASE NOTE:
If the distance between the rotating laser and the receiver is less than 1 m erroneous measurements may occur.
APPLICATION
Connect the clamp to the receiver for use with a laser pole, levelling staff or similar accessory.
For optimum accuracy always level the bubble vials on the receiver before taking measurements.
MM INDICATION
If the reference level of the receiver is e. g. 18 mm below the laser beam this height difference will be displayed by an exact numerical value (see the left diagram).

The laser beam is exactly on-level.| The laser beam is 19 mm above the
reference point (move the receiver
up).| The laser beam is 35 mm below the
reference point (move the receiver
down).
