Assembly

Inserting/Replacing the Batteries

Alkali-manganese batteries are recommended for the mea-

suring tool.

To open the battery compartment 3, turn the latch 2 in clock-

wise direction to position and pull off the battery lid.

Insert the batteries provided. When inserting, pay attention

to the correct polarity according to the representation on the

inside of the battery compartment.

Position the battery lid to the bottom of the housing and then

push it upward. To lock the battery lid, turn the latch 2 in anti-

clockwise direction to the position.

When the laser beams flash slowly during operation, the bat-

teries are low. When the flashing begins, the measuring tool

can be operated for approx. 8 h.

Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batter-

ies from one brand and with the identical capacity.

 Remove the batteries from the measuring tool when

not using it for extended periods. When storing for

extended periods, the batteries can corrode and self-

discharge.

Operation

Initial Operation

 Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct

sun light.

 Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme tempera-

tures or variations in temperature. As an example, do

not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large vari-

ations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to

the ambient temperature before putting it into operation.

In case of extreme temperatures or variations in tempera-

ture, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired.

 Avoid heavy impact to or falling down of the measuring

tool. Damage to the measuring tool can impair its accura-

cy. After heavy impact or shock, compare the laser lines or

plumb beams with a known horizontal or vertical reference

line or with already checked plumb points.

 Switch the measuring tool off during transport. When

switching off, the levelling unit, which can be damaged in

case of intense movement, is locked.

Switching On and Off

To switch on the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 4

upward so that “I” is indicated on the switch. Immediately

after switching on, the measuring tool sends a laser beam out

of each exit opening 1.

 Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and

do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from

a large distance.

 Do not leave the switched-on measuring tool unattend-

ed and switch the measuring tool off after use. Other

persons could be blinded by the laser beam.

To switch off the measuring tool, push the On/Off switch 4

downward so that “0” is indicated on the switch. When

switching off, the levelling unit is locked.

Setting the Automatic Switch-off

By default, the measuring tool automatically shuts off

20 minutes after being switched on.

The automatic switch-off can be set from 20 minutes to

8 hours. For this, switch the measuring tool on, then immedi-

ately off, and then on again within 4 s. To confirm the change,

all laser beams will flash quickly for 2 s after switching on the

second time.

When switching on the measuring tool the next time, the auto-

matic switch-off is set to 20 minutes again.

Working with Automatic Levelling

Position the measuring tool on a level and firm support, attach

it to the holder 8 or to the tripod 18.

After switching on, the automatic levelling function automati-

cally compensates irregularities within the self-levelling range

of ±5° (longitudinal axis) and ±3° (lateral axis). The levelling

is finished as soon as the laser points do not move any more.

If the automatic levelling function is not possible, e.g. be-

cause the surface on which the measuring tool stands devi-

ates by more than 5 ° or 3° from the horizontal plane, the laser
