6. Operating Instructions

Battery Installation Note: Always check to be sure that the on/off switch is in the off

position before removing and replacing batteries.

1. Open the battery-box cover and put in the battery pack into the battery case according to polarity marked in the battery-box.

2. Snap the battery cover back on.

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the calibration of the instrument before each use.

Power Adapter Usage

By connecting to the adapter, without the battery pack, the outlet LED

light will turn green and the instrument will be powered by the adapter. If the rechargeable batteries are in the battery box, they will be charged in this way and the outlet LED light will be red in the course of charging. When the LED light turns green, the batteries are fully charged.

Power on/off

With the rechargeable batteries or the adapter connected, turn the

on/off switch clockwise, the power LED will light and the instrument will project a green laser cross beam (as shown below). By turning the on/off switch counter-clockwise, the power LED will go out and the instrument will be powered off and the compensator will be locked in place.

Note:

• Pay attention to the polarity of the batteries.

• Do not charge alkaline batteries to avoid explosion.

• Used (discharged) batteries are hazardous waste and should be disposed of properly.

7. Using the Product

The laser can turn around the center of the scale 360 degrees.

The instrument can be placed on a platform separately.

The instrument can be installed on the bracket.

The instrument can be installed on a tripod. (5/8” - 11 thread or 1/4” - 20 thread)

The instrument can be attached to a steel plate while on its base.

The instrument can be fixed to a pipe with the fixing strap while on its base.

8. Self-Check and Calibration

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the calibration of the instrument before each use.

1. Set the instrument on a level flat head tripod centered between two walls (marked 1 & 2) approximately 15 feet apart. (See fig. 1).

2. Point the instrument directly at wall 1. Turn the laser on and mark the intersection of the beams as point A.

3. Turn the instrument 180 degrees so that the laser is pointed directly at wall

2. Turn the laser and mark the intersection of the beams as point B.

4. Move the instrument and the tripod so the laser is positioned approximately 2 feet away from wall 1 (see fig. 2). Level the tripod and position the instrument on the tripod facing wall 1. Turn the laser on and mark the intersection of the beams as point C.

5. Turn the laser off and rotate the laser 180 degrees so that it is facing directly to wall 2.

6. Turn on the laser and mark the intersection of the beams as point D.

7. Measure the distance between points A & C.

8. Measure the distance between points B & D.

9. If the difference between points A & C and points B & D are less than 1/16”, your instrument is within its tolerance.

Calibration

Re-calibration can be performed as described below.

1. Use a level to mark a horizontal reference line on the wall.

2. Power on the unit to compare the projected horizontal line with the reference line.

3. If the projected laser line is tilted, power off the unit and lock the compensator. Screw off the calibration portal screw (figure 1) Use a 3mm hex head wrench to calibrate the unit through its side calibration hole. Insert the hex head wrench into the instrument and into the calibration screw. Turn the 3mm hex head wrench until the projected line is level. (figure 2) Turn the hex head wrench clockwise if the line tilts to the right and counter-clockwise if the line tilts to the left.

4. If the horizontal line is too high or too low take off the rubber plugs behind the rechargeable batteries (figure 3). Using a 3mm hex head wrench turn the calibration screws, moving one screw at a time, clockwise to lower the line and counter-clockwise to raise the line. Adjust the line to the correct height (figure 4).
