Item Checklist

Please ensure the following items are included with your laser level. If anything is missing please contact your retailer.

Using the Laser

POWER SUPPLY

Rechargeable battery pack

The laser level is supplied with one rechargeable Li-ion battery pack that is located in the base of the laser level.
The rechargeable battery pack is supplied only partially charged. Charge the rechargeable battery pack before use. Keep the rechargeable battery pack in the carry case when not in the laser level.
The battery level indicator lights will show when the battery is low. The laser level should be recharged as soon as possible.
Battery pack capacity decreases at low temperatures; a depleted pack may not function when cold.

UBS charging cable

The USB charging cable is for indoor use only.
Do not store in locations where moisture can be present or where the chargers could be exposed to extreme temperatures.
If a cable becomes damaged, stop using it immediately and seek a replacement.

Charging the rechargeable battery pack

Insert the USB charging cable into one of the two charging ports. The charging ports are located underneath the control panel (Fig.1) and on the battery pack. Charging progress will be shown by the battery indicator lights on the laser. Lights will flash from right to left whilst charging and remain a solid green when fully charged.
Charging time is approximately 5 hours for a depleted battery.
The battery pack does not need to be inserted in the laser level whilst charging via the port on the battery pack.

Removing and inserting the rechargeable battery pack

Loosen the battery thumb screw on the base of the laser level and remove the battery pack.
Insert the battery pack. Tighten the battery thumb screw.
WARNING! Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack.

HORIZONTAL MEASUREMENT SETUP

Level surface setup

Select a place as close and practical to the work site as possible, and ensure that the location is clear of traffic.
Place the laser level onto a reasonably level surface with the control panel facing upwards.

VERTICAL MEASUREMENT SETUP

Level surface setup

Select a place as close and practical to the work site as possible, and ensure that the location is clear of traffic.
Place the laser level onto a reasonably level surface with the lighthouse facing upwards.

OPERATION

Powering on

Press the power button once and the laser level will power on and begin automatically self-levelling. When this levelling process is complete, the penta prism inside the lighthouse will start rotating.
If the laser level is outside the self-leveling range the laser level will not level causing the laser beam to flash continuously. If this occurs, reposition the laser level onto a level surface until the laser level can level off.
In bright outdoor conditions, visible distance will be significantly reduced. For outdoor use, it is recommended to use the included detector.

Powering off

Press the power button once and the laser level will power off.

Tilt alarm

Once the laser level has been levelled off the tilt alarm can be enabled by pressing the tilt alarm button. The tilt alarm indicator light will flash continuously whilst active.
If the laser level is disturbed while the alarm is active the laser level will stop rotating and will need to be powered off and on again to reset to a level position.

Setting up a manual grade/slope

To create a manual grade/slope, press the manual grade mode button on the laser level control panel or remote control. The manual grade mode indicator on the instrument will light up when manual mode is active.
To adjust the grade, press the grade adjustment arrows on the remote control. These arrows will adjust the grade on either the x-axis or y-axis.
To cancel manual grade mode, and return to normal levelling press the manual grade button on either the instrument or remote control.
When in manual mode the laser level will not self level and correct for vibrations and/or disturbances.
Grade adjustments can only be made by pressing the grade adjustment arrow buttons on the remote control.

Using the Remote Control

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Power supply
The remote is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries.

Battery replacement

Remove the battery cover door and the batteries.
Insert the batteries according to polarity and replace the battery cover door.

Operating the remote control

Ensure the laser level is turned on and the laser head is rotating.

Using the Detector

POWER SUPPLY
The detector is powered by one 9V alkaline battery.

Battery replacement

Remove the battery cover door and the batteries.
Insert the batteries according to polarity and replace the battery cover door.

MOUNTING TO THE STAFF CLAMP

Insert the staff clamp screw into the staff clamp mounting point.
Rotate the staff clamp thumb screw until the clamp is secured in place.

DETECTOR OPERATION

Power the detector on by pressing the power button. The LCD screen will turn on and the speaker will emit a small tone to indicate the detector is operating.
The LCD screen will display the battery level,detection mode and speaker function.
To change between broad, coarse and fine mode press the detection mode button.
To change the speaker volume or turn the speaker off, press the speaker button.
Move the detector into the path of the laser beam.
Hold the detector upright for horizontal beams (Fig. 2) or rotate 90° for vertical beams (Fig.3).
The direction arrows or level line on the LCD screen will indicate the position of the laser beam. The detector will emit a constant beep once the level position has been located.

Mounting to a Construction Tripod

NOT INCLUDED

A construction tripod (flat, domed or elevating) can be purchased from your nearest measurement tool dealer. The below instructions are generic only and set-up methods may vary between models. Refer to the documentation from the tripod manufacturer for details.
Extend the tripod legs to the required height and ensure the legs are spread wide enough so that the tripod platform is stable. Secure the legs in place (refer to the documentation from the tripod manufacturer for details).
Place the laser level onto the tripod with the lighthouse facing upwards and mount the male 5/8” thread into the base until firm. Do not over tighten as this may cause damage to the laser level or tripod.
If using an elevating tripod with a measuring scale on the centre column, the height can be adjusted as required.
WARNING! Attaching the laser level to a tripod without the correct thread size may cause damage.

Calibration Check

Before doing any precision levelling it is advised to check the calibration of the laser level.

Set up the laser level on a tripod at about 30m facing a wall or staff with a detector.
Allow the laser to level.
Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
Without moving the tripod, rotate the laser level 180°.
Detect and note laser position on the wall or staff.
Calculate the distance between the two readings.
The difference should be within 6mm at 30m.
If the laser level is out of calibration it is advised to send it to an authorised service centre.

Care & Maintenance

This is a precision measuring tool and should always be handled with care and transported within the carry case provided.
Always turn the tool off when transporting the laser level or moving around the job site.
Whenever possible, store the tool in a dry, shady location.
When the tool is not in use or is being stored, it is highly recommended to remove the batteries.
Calibration of the tool is recommended: every six months, if ongoing accurate levelling is required, or an impact has occurred.
The operator should check the accuracy of the tool before precision levelling is attempted. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate measurements.
Clean the tool with a dry, soft cloth after use in dusty, damp or wet conditions before storing.
Smudges and fingerprints may be removed with a damp tissue or a soft, lint-free cloth.
