Example applications

Position the measuring tool in the horizontal position on a firm support or mount it on a tripod (32).

Working with a tripod: Set the laser beam at the required height. Project or check the height at the target location.

Working without a tripod: Determine the height difference between the laser beam and the height at the reference point using the laser target plate (41). Project or check the height difference measured at the target location.

When right angles are to be projected or partition walls are to be aligned, the upwards plumb point (9) must be aligned in parallel, meaning at the same distance to a reference line (e.g. a wall).

For this, set up the measuring tool in the vertical position and position it in such a manner that the upwards plumb point runs approximately parallel to the reference line.

For the exact positioning, measure the clearance between the upwards plumb point and reference line directly on the measuring tool using the laser target plate (41). Measure the clearance between the upwards plumb point and reference line again as far away as possible from the measuring tool. Align the upwards plumb point in such a manner that it has the same clearance to the reference line as when measured directly at the measuring tool.

The right angle to the upwards plumb point (9) is indicated by the variable laser beam (6).

To indicate a perpendicular or a vertical plane, set up the measuring tool in the vertical position. When the vertical plane is supposed to run at a right angle to a reference line (e.g. a wall), align the upwards plumb point (9) with this reference line.

The perpendicular plane is indicated by the variable laser beam (6).

To align the vertical laser line or the rotational plane against a reference point on a wall, set up the measuring tool in the vertical position, and roughly align the laser line or the rotational plane with the reference point. For precise alignment with the reference point, turn the rotational plane around the vertical axis  see  Turning the Rotational Plane when in the ‌Vertical Position (see figure B).

Under favourable light conditions (dark environment) and for short distances, it is possible to work without the laser receiver. For improved visibility of the laser beam, either select line operation or point operation and rotate the laser beam to the target location.

In unfavourable lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and for larger distances, use the laser receiver to improve detection of the laser beam (30). When working with the laser receiver, select rotational operation with the highest rotational speed.

When measuring over long distances, the laser receiver (30) must be used to find the laser beam. In order to reduce interferences, the measuring tool should always be set up in the centre of the work surface and on a tripod.

The laser receiver (30) should always be used when working outdoors.

When working on unstable ground, mount the measuring tool on the tripod (32). Always work with the shock-warning function activated in order to avoid faulty measurements in case of ground movements or shocks to the measuring tool.
