Instrument Set-up

InstrumentSet-up
Introduction
The safety instructions (see Safety Instructions) and the user manual should be read through care­fullybefore the product is used for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicatesa potentiallyhazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicatesa potentiallyhazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury and/or appreciable material, financial and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and efficient manner.

Levelling lock

See alsoLevelling the instrument
Level ling unlock ed
In the unlockedpositionthe instrument auto­matically levelsitself within the specified inclin­ation range. (See Technicaldata)
Level ling lock ed
Turn the levelling lock in or der to transport or tilt the instrument beyond the self-levelling range. When locked, the pendulum is fixed and the self­levelling function isdeactivated. In this case the laser blinks every 3sec.

Instrument Set-up

Laser receiver

To be able to detect the laser lines over long dis­tances (>15 m) or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a laser receiver can be used.
We recommend the Leica RVL80 laser receiver.
Li-Ion battery
Charge Li-Ion battery
Charge the Li-Ion battery before using it for the first time. While charging, the instrument may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the instru­ment´s lifespan or performance. At the recom­mended storage temperature of -20°C to +30°C (-4°F to +86°F), batteries containing a 50% to 100% charge can be stored up to 1 year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged.
CAUTION
Connecting the charger using the wrong adapter may cause serious damage to the instrument. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by war­ranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, bat­teries and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the instrument.
Insert Li-Ion battery
Insert the battery-pack by pressing it down and then tilting it towards the housing as shown until it snaps in.

Accuracy Check

Accu racyCh eck
Check the accuracy of your Leica Lino L4P1 regularly and particularlybefore important measuring tasks. Check Levelling lock before checking the accuracy.

Levelling

Checking the accuracy of the levelling
Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between two walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart. Place the lockswitchin the "Unlocked" position. Direct the instrument at wall A and switch on the instru­ment. Activate the horizontallaser line or laser point and mark the position of the line or the point on wall (A1). Rotate the instrument by 180° and mark the horizontal laser line or the laser point in exactly the same way on wall(B1).
Then place the instrument at the same elevation as close as possible to wall A and again mark the horizontal laser line or the laser point on wall A (A2). Rotate the instrument by 180° again and mark the laser on wall B (B2). Measure the dis­tances of the marked pointsA1-A2 and B1-B2. Calculate the difference of the two meas­urements.
|(A1 - A2) - (B1 - B2)| <=2 mm
If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the Leica Lino L4P1 iswithin tolerance.

Accuracy Check
Vertical and horizontal line
Checking the accuracy of the horizontal line
Placethe lockswitch in the "Unlocked" position. Position the instrument approx. 5 m away from the wall. Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on. Activate the laser lineand mark the inter­section point of laser crosshairs on the wall. Swivel the instrument to the right and then to the left. Observe the vertical deviation of the horizontal line from the marking. If the difference does not exceed 3 mm, then the Leica Lino L4P1 is within tolerance.
Checking the accuracy of the vertical line
Placethe lockswitch in the "Unlocked" position. As a reference, use a plumb-bob and attach it as close as possible to an approx. 3 m high wall. Pos­ition the instrument at a distance of approx. 1.5 m from the wallat an elevation of approx. 1.5 m. Dir­ect the instrument at the walland switch on. Rotate the instrument and align it with the bottom of the plumb line. Now read off the maximum devi­ation of the laser line from the top of the plumb line. If the difference does not exceed 3 mm, then the Leica Lino L4P1 iswithin tolerance.
Vertical plumb points
Checking the accuracy of the upper plumb point:
Set up the laser on its tr ipod o wallmount bracket near point A1 at a minimum distance of 1.5 m from point B1. The horizontal laser is aligned in dir­ection 1. Mark the laser points A1 and B1 with a pin.
Checking the accuracy of the lower plumb point:

Accuracy Check
Rotate the instrument by 180° so that it points in the opposite direction 2 to direction 1. Adjust the instrument so that the laser beam hits point A1 exactly. If point B2 is no further than 2 mm away from point B1, then the Leica Lino L4P1 is within tolerance.

Care

Care
Never immerse the device in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp soft cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. Tr eat the instrument with the same care that you would apply to bin­oculars or a camera. Dropping or violent shaking of the instrument may damage it. Checkthe instru­ment for any damage before using it. Check the levelling accuracy of the instrument regularly.
