Thank you for purchasing the EK-226P automatic Cross Line Laser Level kit.

These instructions are intended to explain the quick basics to operating this

equipment. If you need any more information, or the unit requires calibration

or repair, then please contact our Service Dept on tel [phone] or

fax [phone]. We are here to help.

Power source:

Unscrew the battery cover & remove carefully.

Fit 3 x type AA alkaline batteries. Take care with correct polarity as marked

on the case. Refit the battery cover. The EK-226P will accept rechargeable

batteries but there is no provision for charging in the laser. You will need to

charge these batteries externally. We would also recommend that a spare set

of batteries are kept in the carry case as a back-up.

Positioning the Laser:

Mount the EK-226P on a generally level, firm surface or 5/8” threaded Tripod.

(note: an adapter may be required) To operate correctly, this surface must be

within +/-3 deg of true horizontal. Use the top bubble level as a "guide".

Principle of Operation:

It is important to note that this bubble level does NOT set the accuracy of the

level. The EK-226P has a fully automatic pendulum system to set true level.

IF THE EK-226P EMITS CONTINUOUS RED LASER LINES ie. not

flashing, THEN THEY WILL BE TRUE LEVEL & PLUMB.

This laser can be used Indoors or Outside, where it is waterproof to IP54.

Controls:

A simple ON/OFF switch combined with a black transit latch is located on the

side of the case. Position laser & centralise the bubble level, as described

above. Switch ON - the top "H" LED will illuminate green & the horizontal red

laser line will project onto the wall opposite. To switch OFF, press button "H"

again.

A second button marked V1/V2 is used to switch both of the vertical laser

plumb lines ON or OFF, either together or independently.

*Outdoor button - see details below, in the laser Detector Procedure

section.

Working Range:

Depending on ambient lighting - generally 50m with detector & 10m without.

To set Squaring:

The EK-226P does have a squaring facility to set out 90 degrees.

Place the instrument on the floor & operate BOTH vertical lines. These will

project along the floor (to set floor squaring), up the walls opposite & square

on the ceiling above too.

The body of the laser can be slowly rotated by hand, keeping the feet in the

same position. This gives a coarse setting on any plumb (vertical) lines.

The User can adjust the fine setting cross spindle to finalise line positions.

To set Plumb:

Again, switch on BOTH vertical lines. The Cross on the ceiling is true plumb

with the red DOT below the instrument. This is an electronic equivalent of a

plumb string line - a very convenient & useful feature.
