Laser diode

Class IIIR/Europe

 

Class IIIa/US

Horizontal Setup

 

1)Put the SKR60 on a flat surface or tripod, or use the wall mount (see “ceiling grid” or “tripod” sections).

2)To level the laser, center the bubbles in the horizontal vials by turning leveling knobs X and Y. The bubbles move in the direction you turn the knobs. Level one vial, then the other, then make fine adjustments to both.

3)Turn the laser on by pressing the on/off key.

Vertical Setup

1)Put the SKR60 in vertical position on a flat surface or tripod.

2)Level the laser using the adjustable feet (11) and leveling knob Y to center the bubble in the vertical vial.

3)Turn the laser on by pressing the on/off key.

Rotation Speed

The head rotates at three speeds; 150 rpm is the default setting. To change rotation speed, press the 3rd key (speed/scan) on the keypad. Press once for 400 rpm; press again for 600 rpm (it takes a few seconds to reach full acceleration). Press again to stop rotation.

The laser beam is more visible in slow motion.

To move the beam left or right, use the remote control with the laser in scanning mode. It’s also possible to stop the rotation and point the beam manually.

Scanning

Scanning mode allows you to see the beam easier at a distance. To switch from rotation to scan, press the

R/S key. The scanning beam has three lengths, or angles: 2°, 8°, and 25°. To change, press the 3rd key

(speed/scan) on the keypad.

When using the laser, it is important to check that it has not been moved and that your setting is still accurate.

Using the Built-in Wall Mount

Height adjustment clamp (9)

Grid clamp (12)

Tripod mount (16)

Adjustable slope lock (15)

Setup on Ceiling Grid

1)To hang the SKR60 from a ceiling grid, open the height adjustment clamp (9) on the side of the wall mount. Raise to the height desired and lock.

2)Open the top grid clamp (12), place the wall mount against the grid, and lock. The grid cannot be thicker than 1/8’’(3mm).

3)Use the height adjustment clamp for final positioning. Level the laser. Check that both vials are still centered whenever laser position is changed.

6

The laser can also be fastened to the wall with nails, using the 2 holes in the wall mount plate.

Setup on a Tripod

There are two standard 5/8-11 tripod mounts: one on the bottom of the laser for horizontal mode, the other on the wall mount for vertical mode.

A camera tripod mount is located on the other side of the wall mount for both horizontal and vertical modes.

After attaching the laser to the tripod, be sure to level the bubbles as described on page 4.

Changing mounts:

1)To switch from the 5/8-11 to camera tripod mount, take out the wall mount plate by opening the height adjustment clamp (9) and pressing the wall mount release (14).

2)Rotate the plate, slide it back into the wall mount, and lock the clamp (9).

Using the laser in horizontal mode on tripod:

1)Use the tripod mount (16) to attach the laser to the tripod.

2)To position the laser so that the rotating beam is horizontal, open the adjustable slope lock (15). Tilt

the laser 90° (the full extent you can move it).

3) Level the bubble as described under “Horizontal Setup.”
