3. Operation Instructions

1. Battery Installation

Open the battery door, and put in one 9V battery according to the polarity shown inside. Then snap the battery door back.

Note:

• Remove the battery when the unit is being stored for a long time.

• Replace the battery when the low voltage indicator shows a low battery.

2. Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT: This detector will only work when the laser is in

the pulse mode.

A. Press the Power on/off key: The detector will beep twice and all the symbols will be displayed on the display window. After

0.5 seconds the detector will enter its

detecting mode.

B. Detecting the horizontal laser signal: Put the detector in a vertical position and center the bubble in the horizontal vial with the reception window facing the laser. A down arrow shown on the display window and a lit red light indicates the laser signal is below the detectors on grade

6249H_Manuals 10/18/12 2:49 PM Page 14

mark. An up arrow plus a yellow lit light indicates the laser signal is above the detectors on grade mark. A middle sign plus a lit green light indicates the laser signal is on grade.

Note: When the laser signal moves towards the center position, the displayed up or down arrows will decrease in size, until the center single line appears.

C. Detecting the vertical laser signal: Put the

detector in a horizontal position (center the bubble in the horizontal vial) with the reception window and indicator lights facing up. Have the reception window face the unit to receive the vertical laser signal. Left arrow shown on LCD plus a lit red light indicates the laser signal is on the left side of center. A middle sign with a lit green light indicates the laser signal is on the middle position. A right arrow plus a lit yellow light indicates the laser signal is on the right side of center.

D. Press the Power on/off key to power off the detector. The

detector will beep twice for off.

3. Sound Function

Pressing the sound key when the unit is powered-on. This will switch the unit between sound on and sound off,

Sound On

Sound Off

note the sound sign indication on LCD.

6249H_Manuals 10/18/12 2:49 PM Page 15

Sound function on:

• If the laser signal is on the top (left) side, then the detector will

give a fast tone.

• If the laser signal is on the bottom (right) side, then the detector

will give a double tone.

• If the laser signal is on the middle, then the detector will have a

solid tone.

4. Automatic Shut-Off Function

When not receiving a laser signal and with no operation of the keys for six continuous minutes, the unit will power off automatically to preserve battery life.

5. Low Battery Indicator Function

• When the power indicator sign is blinking, it

indicates that the battery is low and should be replaced.

• A very low battery will result in an automatic

power-off, which requires the user to replace before continued operation.

8. Self-Check & Fine Calibration

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

calibration of the instrument before each use.

Accuracy Check

1. Set the device on a platform, a minimum of 5 meters away from an indoor wall, with laser squarely facing wall.

2. Turn the device on, and after it self-levels, make a mark on the wall (Label this mark ‘A’), then draw a vertical line through ‘A’.

3. Turn the device 90°, and after it self-levels, make a mark at the intersection of the laser line/vertical line. (Label this mark as ‘B’). Do the same two more times, labeling the marks as ‘C’ and ‘D’.

4. Measure the distance between the two points with the greatest distance among A, B, C, D. This will be measurement ‘h’. If ‘h’=2mm, the accuracy of the instrument is within spec. If ‘h’> 2mm, the accuracy of the instrument is out of tolerance, and adjustment is necessary.

Adjustment of Self-Calibration

According to the results of #4 above, mark ‘O’ at ‘h’/2. ‘h’/2 is the

center of the highest and lowest points among A, B, C, D.

1. Aim the self-calibration aperture 1 of instrument to the wall, and adjust to make the laser line meet ‘O’.

2. Aim the self-calibration aperture 2 of instrument to the wall, and adjust to make the laser line meet ‘O’.

6249H_Manuals 10/18/12 2:49 PM Page 17

When adjusting, note:

a. Use a 2.5mm hex-head tool (allen wrench). b. The adjustment of each aperture may influence each other.

This means that adjusting Aperture 1 may cause Aperture 2 to change, so a re-check of the previous Aperture adjustment may be required.

c. The adjustment of the self-calibration screw should not

exceed 4 complete rotations (clockwise or counterclockwise direction).

d. If the instrument cannot be calibrated via the Apertures

(device is too far out of spec), then please contact a distributor, repair facility, or Johnson Level & Tool Customer Service.
