8. Self-Check & Fine Calibration

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the

calibration of the instrument before each use.

Horizontal Line for Level

1. Set the wall mount/tripod adapter on a tripod or flat surface approximately 10 ft. away from a reference wall.

2. Unlock the transportation lock on the unit.

3. Set the laser inside the wall mount/tripod adapter.

4. Press the horizontal laser line button (H) and the Vertical Laser Line button (V1).

5. Point the cross line at the reference wall (It is important to see the

laser line very clearly. This test should be performed indoors and in low light conditions).

6. Mark the intersection of the cross line as point A.

7. Rotate the laser unit counter clockwise until the laser cross line is 8 feet away from point A (to the left of point A). Mark the laser line at point A as point B.

8. Rotate the laser unit clockwise until the cross line is 8 feet to the right of point A.

9. Mark the laser line at Point A as point C.

10.If the distance between point B and point C is greater then 1/16” the unit needs to be recalibrated. (See calibration information)

4069H_Manuals 11/5/10 8:49 AM Page 12

3 Vertical Lines for Plumb

1. Use a plumb line or known vertical reference point.

2. Turn the laser unit on following the instructions above.

3. Rotate the laser unit so the vertical laser line intersects the plumb line.

4. Check all three vertical lines.

5. If the vertical laser line is not parallel with the plumb line (i.e. intersects at the top and bottom), the unit needs to be recalibrated. (See calibration information).

Self-Calibration Adjustment Self-Calibrating the side vertical laser lines (not the front

vertical laser line) for plumb

1. There are two self calibration ports inside the battery compartment.

2. Remove the rubber plugs.

3. Unlock the compensator.

4. Use a 2mm hex head wrench.

5. Turn the calibration screw counter clockwise to move the top of the side vertical lines back towards the battery compartment. Move one screw at time. Do not rotate the screw more then 4 rotations. If the vertical line is still not plumb after moving one screw 4 rotations, the second screw can be rotated in the same direction. Do not rotate the second screw

more then 4 rotations.

6. If the vertical lines can not be brought into plumb after 4 rotations of each screw, the unit will need to be serviced by Johnson Level & Tool.

4069H_Manuals 11/5/10 8:49 AM Page 13

Self-Calibrating the horizontal laser line and front vertical laser line

1. Locate calibration port on the side of the laser unit.

2. Remove the rubber plug.

3. Unlock the compensator.

4. Use a 2mm hex head wrench.

5. Rotate the screw counter clockwise to lower the left side of the horizontal line and to adjust the top of the front vertical line to the left. Do not rotate the screw more

then 4 rotations.

6. If the laser lines can not be brought into calibration after 4 rotations the unit will need to be serviced by Johnson Level & Tool.
