Firecore F94T-XG Laser Level Instruction Manual

Product Overview

The Firecore F94T-XG is a versatile laser level designed for various construction and alignment tasks. It projects three 360° green laser planes, including one horizontal and two vertical lines, enabling comprehensive room layout. Its green beams are highly visible, offering up to 4X brighter output than standard red beams, with a visible range of up to 82 ft. An outdoor Pulse mode extends the working range up to 165 ft. when used with a compatible laser detector.

Key features include a high-precision electronic motion sensor for an Anti-Shock Mode, which alerts the user to tool position changes, ensuring consistent leveling accuracy. The Smart Pendulum System allows for self-leveling within ±4° in 3 seconds and can be locked for manual mode operations at any angle. The device is built with a rugged, over-molded housing and boasts an IP65 water/dust resistance rating, making it suitable for harsh working conditions. It is covered with TPR soft rubber for enhanced grip and drop protection. The included large capacity Li-ion battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous runtime.

Setup

Battery Installation

The Firecore F94T-XG is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. To install the battery, locate the battery compartment on the device. Insert the Li-ion battery, ensuring correct polarity, and close the compartment securely. The device also supports an optional AA battery pack (requires four AA batteries) for alternative power. Ensure the battery is inserted before mounting the laser level to the pole or tripod, as the battery door may become inaccessible.

Pole and Tripod Assembly

The laser level comes with a versatile pole and tripod system for various mounting options. The pole consists of multiple segments that can be attached together. For ceiling-to-floor applications, assemble the pole segments and use the spring-loaded top and foot pedal at the bottom to friction-fit it securely between the floor and ceiling. The pole features inserts to maintain straightness. For height adjustment, the telescopic section at the bottom can be twisted to extend or retract. Note that when fully extended, some wobble may occur; ensure at least 2-3 inches are inserted for stability.

The magnetic pivoting base (FLM10B) can be attached to the pole using a cam lock mechanism, allowing the laser level to slide up and down. This base features a 1/4-20 thread for direct attachment of the laser level. An adapter is included to convert to a 5/8-inch thread for compatibility with larger laser devices or tripods. For situations where a pole cannot be used, such as uneven terrain or very high ceilings, the included tripod can be utilized. The pole segments can be inserted directly into the tripod's legs and locked in place for a stable setup.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off and Self-Leveling

To power on the device, slide the lock switch to the unlocked position. The laser level will automatically enter self-leveling mode. If the laser lines are flashing, it indicates that the device is outside its self-leveling range (±4°). Adjust the device's position until the lines become solid, indicating it is self-leveled. The self-leveling mechanism is designed to automatically correct minor tilts.

Anti-Shock Mode

The F94T-XG features an Anti-Shock Mode. To activate or deactivate this mode, press and hold the designated button for 3 to 5 seconds. In Anti-Shock Mode, if the device is bumped or its position changes significantly, the laser lines will automatically turn off. This feature prevents inaccurate measurements due to accidental movement and alerts the user to re-level the device.

Receiver Mode (Pulse Mode)

For outdoor use or in bright lighting conditions, activate the Pulse Mode (Receiver Mode) by pressing the appropriate button. This mode allows the laser level to be used with a compatible laser detector (e.g., Firecore FD20) to extend the working range up to 165 ft. The detector will pick up the pulsed laser signal, making it visible even when the human eye cannot perceive the line.

Switching Laser Planes

The device offers multiple laser projection options. Use the control buttons to cycle through different modes:

• Horizontal Plane: Projects a single 360° horizontal line.
• Vertical Planes: Projects one or two 360° vertical lines.
• All Planes: Projects all three 360° planes (one horizontal, two vertical) simultaneously for full room layout.

Manual Mode

To use the laser level at any angle (e.g., for diagonal lines), engage the manual mode by locking the pendulum. This prevents the device from self-leveling and allows the laser lines to be projected at a fixed angle. The locking pendulum also helps protect internal components during transport.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Firecore F94T-XG Laser Level, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the laser level with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the housing or laser lenses.
• Storage: Store the device in its provided carry pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the pendulum is locked before storage or transport to prevent damage to internal components.
• Battery Care: Fully charge the Li-ion battery before extended storage. If storing for long periods, periodically charge the battery to maintain its health.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the device for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the housing, loose parts, or damaged rubber caps. Ensure the laser lenses are clean and free from obstructions.
• Calibration Check: While the device is self-leveling, it is good practice to periodically check its calibration against a known level surface or a professional calibration service if accuracy issues are suspected.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Firecore F94T-XG Laser Level, consider the following:

• Laser Lines Flashing: This indicates the device is out of its self-leveling range. Adjust the position of the laser level until it is on a more level surface or within the ±4° tilt tolerance.
• No Laser Lines: Check if the device is powered on and the battery is charged. Ensure the pendulum lock is disengaged if you intend to use self-leveling mode. If in Anti-Shock Mode, a bump might have turned off the lasers; reset the device.
• Weak or Invisible Laser Lines: In bright environments or outdoors, the laser lines may appear faint. Activate the Pulse Mode and use a compatible laser detector to enhance visibility. Ensure the laser lenses are clean.
• Inaccurate Readings: Verify that the device is properly self-leveled (solid lines). If using manual mode, ensure the desired angle is correctly set. Check for any physical damage to the device that might affect its accuracy.
• Battery Not Charging: Ensure the power adapter and Type-C power cord are correctly connected to the battery and a working power outlet. Check the battery for any visible damage.
