Latest generation fully automatic rotary laser of an extremely
durable design

Electronic vials and positioning motors controlled by temperature-stable sensors for
automatic alignment, 4° self-levelling range, precision 1 mm / 10 m. Maximum safety
and reliability are ensured by the anti-drift system (ADS): the electronic system conti­nuously monitors the measurement and switches the laser off if the device is disturbed
by external factors. The device can be set up really quickly thanks to the anti-shake func­tion, which enables the laser to be set to a required height by means of a crank tripod,
for example. This function also means that the rotary laser can be used on vibrating sur­faces and in windy conditions. In automatic mode, an axis can be manually set to a cer­tain inclination using the single slope function. The reference beam allows partition walls
to be aligned and a plumb line to be drawn. Dustproof and splash water-proof to IP 66.

General safety instructions

Caution: Prior to using the laser, you must read the safety instructions for laser class

Brief instructions

Initial switch-on Use the ON/OFF button to switch the device on. The

automatic sensor now levels the device horizontally and/
or vertically; the laser remains stationary and flashes
during this set-up phase. As soon as levelling is comple­te, the laser starts to rotate at 750 rpm.

Hand receiver

repeatedly until the laser stops rotating. The laser can
then be positioned exactly at the measuring point by
means of the direction buttons.

intensive segment in 4 different widths. You position the
segment via the direction buttons.

This function protects the rotary laser from changes
in position caused by the device being disturbed by
external factors, thus preventing erroneous or inaccu­rate measurements. Press the tilt button as soon as the
rotary laser has been aligned and the automatic sensor
is up and running. The tilt function becomes active after
around 30 seconds and the tilt LED starts to flash every
second. If the device then moves, it will switch itself off.
The laser and the tilt LED start to flash rapidly.

Anti-shake
function

The device can be set up really quickly with this func­tion, which enables the laser to be set to a required
height, for example. It also means that the laser can
be used on vibrating surfaces and in windy conditions,
possibly in conjunction with the single slope function.
The laser will continue to rotate whilst the automatic
sensor is setting up the device. IMPORTANT: Precision is
adversely affected during the set-up phase.

In automatic mode, an axis can be manually set to a
certain slope using this function, even if the ADS tilt
function is also active. This means that one axis can be
re-adjusted whilst the other is aligned horizontally and/
or vertically. Press the slope/man button to activate the
function and select the X or Y axis. The slope LED lights
up, as does the LED for the X or Y axis. The slope is
re-adjusted using the plus/minus buttons. ATTENTION:
This function cannot be used to perform full horizontal
levelling, just to adjust one axis.

This function deactivates the automatic sensor, which
enables two axes to be re-adjusted simultaneously and
steep slopes to be set. To use the function, press the
slope/man button repeatedly until the man LED lights
up. Use the tilt button to toggle between the X and Y
axes. The plus/minus buttons are used to re-adjust the
slope by means of a motor. In vertical operation, press
the slope/man button 3 times to activate the manual
slope function for the Z axis. IMPORTANT: Since the
automatic sensor is not active, horizontal and/or vertical
levelling cannot take place.

This mode can be used to re-adjust the device. With the
device switched off, press and hold down the slope/man
button. Then press the ON/OFF button briefly, keeping
the slope/man button pressed down until the X, Y and
Z axis LEDs light up simultaneously. Open the cover on
the Commander 50 and use the X/Y button to select
the required axis. Now use the plus/minus buttons on
the adjustment panel to set the selected axis; see the
"Adjustment mode" section for more information. In
vertical operation, the device activates the Z axis auto­matically. Save your new setting by pressing the enter
button.

Power
management

The device can be operated using the high-performance
rechargeable battery or standard alkaline batteries.

Revolution

Sensor Automatic

The rotary laser aligns itself automatically. It is set to the required initial position (to
within an operating angle of ± 4°) and the automatic system then performs the neces­sary fine adjustment, with three electronic measurement sensors detecting the X, Y and
Z axes.

Anti-Drift-System (ADS)

The anti-drift system (ADS) prevents erroneous or inaccurate measurements. How it
works: continuous monitoring of the alignment of the laser is activated 30 seconds after
the ADS is switched on. If the device moves due to the influence of external factors or
the laser loses its height reference, the laser will come to a standstill. The laser and the
tilt LED also start to flash rapidly. The device has to be switched off and on again in
order to continue using it. Erroneous and inaccurate measurements are thus prevented
simply and reliably. IMPORTANT: The ADS is not active following switch-on. Once the
device has been set up, press the tilt button to activate the ADS, enabling you to protect
the laser from changes in position caused by the device being disturbed by external
factors. The tilt LED flashes to indicate that the ADS function is active; see the diagram
below.

Attention:

The ADS does not activate the monitoring function until 30 seconds after the laser
levelling procedure has been completed (set-up phase). The tilt LED flashes every
second during the set-up phase and flashes more slowly when the ADS is active.

• Charge rechargeable batteries fully before using the
device.

• Connect the charger to the mains power supply and
the charging socket (G) on the high-performance
rechargeable battery (H). Please only use the charger
supplied; using a different charger will invalidate
the warranty. The rechargeable battery can also be
charged when it is not inserted in the device.

• When the rechargeable battery is being charged,
the LED on the charger lights up red. When the LED
changes to green, charging is complete.

• Alkaline batteries (4 x type C) can be used as an alternative. Insert them in the battery
compartment (I) as per the installation symbols.

• Insert the high-performance rechargeable battery (H) or the battery compartment (I)
into the slot (L) and tighten with the fastening screw (F)

• With the rechargeable battery inserted, the device is ready to run even during
charging.

• If the operation/battery indicator flashes continuously, the batteries need to be
replaced or the rechargeable battery re-charged.

G

F

Inserting batteries into the SensoLite laser receiver

• Open the battery compartment (33) and insert the battery as per the installation sym­bols, observing the correct polarity. Close the cover again.

• In order to preserve the battery life, the receiver switches off automatically if it is not
used for around 5 minutes.

Inserting batteries into the Commander 50

• To insert the battery, open the cover fully (see figure).
Correct polarity must be observed. Close the cover
again fully.

Note:

Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, etc. Only recharge­able batteries must be charged. Used batteries must not be disposed of as household

Horizontal and vertical use

Setting up

• Horizontal: Position the device on a level surface or on a tripod.

• Vertical: unfold centric point (J) and position unit in vertical mode. Pre­adjust unit with vertical vial (O) and adjusting screws (N). The sensor then
adjusts the unit automatically. The device can be mounted on a construc­tion tripod by means of the 5/8" thread (K).

Note: If the vertical vial is precisely aligned, the laser is lined up exactly with the
centric point.

• A perpendicular can easily be raised with the reference/plumb beam.
Tip: When installing dividing walls align the reference beam parallel to
the wall (please refer to picture B on page 2).

• PRESS THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH

• The device levels itself automatically to within a range of ± 4°. During the set-up
phase, the laser flashes and the prism head remains stationary. The operation/battery
indicator is lit up continuously. When levelling is complete, the laser lights up conti­nuously and rotates at maximum speed.

L

Attention: If the device has been placed on a surface with too much of a slope (more
than 4°), there is a warning sound, the prism head remains stationary and the laser
starts to flash. The device must then be placed on a more even surface.

L

Anti-shake function

This function enables you to use the device when it is still in the
set-up phase. The laser will continue to rotate whilst it is being
aligned by the automatic sensor. This makes device set-up easier,
as it enables the laser to be set to a required height by means of a
crank tripod or a wall bracket, for example. It also means that the
laser can be used on vibrating surfaces and in windy conditions.
This function can be used in combination with the single slope
function and all laser modes except adjustment mode, and for both
horizontal and vertical operation. The function is activated via the
anti-shake button: when it is pressed, the anti-shake LED lights up.
IMPORTANT: Precision is adversely affected during the set-up phase.

Single slope function

In automatic mode, an axis can be manually set to a certain slope using this function,
even if the ADS tilt function is also active. This means that one axis can be re-adjusted
whilst the other is aligned horizontally and/or vertically. Press the slope/man button to
activate the function and select the X or Y axis. The slope LED lights up, as does the LED
for the X or Y axis. The slope is re-adjusted using the plus/minus buttons. ATTENTION:
This function cannot be used to perform full horizontal levelling, just to adjust one axis.

Application example: A gradient is to be laid out at the entrance to a garage. For this,
one axis must be re-adjusted and the other aligned horizontally with the garage floor.

IMPORTANT: If a horizontal line is to be moved simultaneously on one wall, the X or Y
axis of the rotary laser must be aligned at right angles to the wall. If this is not done, a
slope will be projected onto the wall. Use the reference beam to set the right angle.

Rotary mode

The following speeds can be set using the rotary button:
750, 350, 0 rpm

Spot mode

You access spot mode by pressing the rotary button
repeatedly until the laser stops rotating. The laser can
then be positioned exactly at the measuring point by
means of the direction buttons.

Scan mode

The scan button can be used to activate and set a light­intensive segment in 4 different widths. You position the
segment via the direction buttons.

Revolution Green

The distance at which a laser is visible to the naked eye depends on its colour i.e.
wavelength. This is because of the human eye's physiology – green appears brighter to
us than red. Depending on ambient light, green lasers are therefore many times more
visible than red lasers; in indoor areas this is as much as 12 times brighter. This permits
applications on dark surfaces, over longer distances and work in very bright ambient
light. A red laser with a 635 nm wavelength is used as a reference value for brightness
differentiation.

In contrast to red lasers, green laser light can only be produced indirectly. This is a source
of potential characteristic fluctuations:

• The optimal operating temperature is 20°C. Outside of the operating temperature

range of 0 ... 45°C green lasers become darker. IMPORTANT: Allow the unit enough
time to adapt to the ambient temperature before switching the unit on.

• Laser brightness may vary somewhat from one unit to another. This is a natural pheno-

mena and excluded from warranty claims.

• Green Laser will only work with certain Receivers. The maximum range of the Receiver

is shorter, please refer to technical details.

Preparing the calibration check

It is possible for you to check the calibration of the laser. To do this, position the device
midway between 2 walls, which must be at least 5 metres apart. Switch the device on.
The best calibration results are achieved if the device is mounted on a tripod.

1. Mark point A1 on the wall.

2. Turn the device through 180° and mark point A2. You now have a horizontal

reference between points A1 and A2.
