Operation

- Place the instrument on the working surface or mount it on the tripod/pillar or wall mount.

- Switch on the instrument.

- Visual alarm (blinking line) and audible signal indicate that the device was not installed within the
compensation range ± 3º. To properly work align the unit in a horizontal plane.

- Turn the compensator switch (3) to the position “ON” (the instrument is turned off in the position OFF).
At that compensator of the instrument will be in free position (it will be blocked in the position OFF).
When switching on, one horizontal and one vertical lines will be projected.
Press button (6) to turn on additional vertical line.
Press button (6) again to have only one additional vertical line.
Press button (6) one more time to turn off additional vertical line and switch on horizontal line.

To check the accuracy of line laser level

To check the accuracy of line laser level (slope of plane)

Set up the instrument between two walls, the distance is 5
m.Turn on the Cross Line Laser and mark the point of cross
laser line on the wall.
Set up the instrument 0,5-0,7m away from the wall and make, as
described above, the same marks. If the difference {a1-b2} and
{b1-b2} is less then the value of “accuracy” (see specifications),
there is no need in calibration.
Example: when you check the accuracy of Cross Line Laser the
difference is {a1-a2}=5 mm and {b1-b2}=7 mm. The error of the
instrument: {b1-b2}-{a1-a2}=7-5=2 mm.
Now you can compare this error with standard error.
If the accuracy of Cross Line Laser isn’t corresponding with
claimed accuracy, contact the authorized service center.

To check level

m

Choose a wall and set laser 5m away from the wall. Turn
on the laser and cross laser line is marked A on the wall.
Find another point M on the horizontal line, the distance is
around 2.5m. Swivel the laser, and another cross point of
cross laser line is marked B. Please note the distance of
B to A should be 5m.
Measure the distance between M to cross laser line, if
the difference is over 3mm, the laser is out of calibration,
please contact with seller to calibrate the laser.

To check plumb

Choose a wall and set laser 5m away from the wall. Mark
point A on the wall, please note the distance from point A
to ground should be 3m. Hang a plumb line from A point
to ground and find a plumb point B on ground. Turn on
the laser and make the vertical laser line meet the point

CUBE 3D

B, along the vertical laser line on the wall and measure the distance 3m from point B to another point C.
Point C must be on the vertical laser line, it means the height of C point is 3m.
Measure the distance from point A to point C, if the distance is over 2 mm, please, contact with seller to
calibrate the laser.

Care and cleaning

Please handle measuring instrument with care. Clean with soft cloth only after any use. If necessary
damp cloth with some water. If instrument is wet clean and dry it carefully. Pack it up only if it is perfectly
dry. Transport in original container/case only.
Note: During transport On/Off compensator lock (3) must be set to position “OFF”. Disregard may lead to
damage of compensator.

Specific reasons for erroneous measuring results

• Measurements through glass or plastic windows;

• Dirty laser emitting window;

10

CUBE 3D

• After instrument has been dropped or hit. Please check the accuracy.

• Large fluctuation of temperature: if instrument will be used in cold areas after it has been stored in

warm areas (or the other way round) please wait some minutes before carrying out measurements.

Electromagnetic acceptability (EMC)

• It cannot be completely excluded that this instrument will disturb other instruments (e.g. navigation
systems);

• will be disturbed by other instruments (e.g. intensive electromagnetic radiation nearby industrial
facilities or radio transmitters).
