1467H-English 8/6/08 10:07 AM Page 7 Tilt LED: LED light on = Tilt mode on; LED light off = Tilt mode off; Flashing LED light = Tilt in warning mode Beam Shield LED: LED light on = shielding the laser beam in this axis Power on/off: Press button, the lasers power is on, and the power LED light goes on. When the power is turned on, the laser is in the electronic self-leveling mode with an 800rpm rotate speed and there is no beam shield area for approximately 90 seconds.
1467H-English 8/6/08 10:07 AM Page 8 Beam shield mode: Press the Beam Shield button of the axis you wish to shield the beam from. The corresponding LED light will turn on and this direction is shielded. From one to three quadrants can be shielded simultaneously. Remote control mode: This laser can be operated with the remote control included. The keypad of the remote control is shown in figure 7. The functions of SLOPE, TILT, SHIELD, SLEEP, and SELF-CALIBRATION can all be operated by remote control.
1467H-English 8/6/08 10:07 AM Page 9 Press the SLOPE button to enter the SLOPE function. The SLOPE on X-axis is set as the default. SLOPE LED light on in X-axis. Press button to adjust the slope angle on X-axis. Press the SLOPE button again to change the SLOPE to the Y-axis. SLOPE LED light on in Y-axis. Press key to adjust the slope angle on Y-axis. If the SLOPE angle is beyond its range, the laser will stop rotating and alarm horn will sound.

Put the laser on a tripod 50’ away from the wall. Put the laser on the tripod with X+ axis towards wall. 2. Power on and after self-leveling, using the detector, make a mark “A” on the wall where the detector indicates on grade with the laser beam. 3.
1467H-English 8/6/08 10:07 AM Page 12 Re-calibration Referencing the results of the self-check and using the “h” mark (the mid-point between the highest and the lowest point among A, B, C, D). 1. Enter self-calibration mode a. Power off the instrument and face the X-axis towards the wall. b. Press VIB button and button simultaneously. Then release the power button while still pressing the vibrate button. Release the vibrate button after all LED flashes three times.
1467H-English 8/6/08 10:07 AM Page 13 axis. The re-calibration LED turns off and the value of the re-calibration will be stored. The laser has now exited re-calibration mode. Note: In order to make the saved calibration effective, you must power off the instrument after calibration, and then power it on again. Y-axis accuracy check is a necessity after the X-axis calibration, and X-axis accuracy check is also a necessity after the Y-axis calibration.
