Horizontal Line Accuracy (Horizontal) 1. Place the unit on a tripod approximately 5m from a wall. Secure the laser on the tripod and level the unit. 2. Face the front of the laser to the wall, unlock the laser, and power on the laser lines. Make a mark on the wall where the cross-line is displayed. Label this as “A”. 3.
6222H_Manuals 10/2/12 8:54 AM Page 13 5. Move the tripod within .6m of target “A”. Make a mark where the cross meets target “A” and label as “A2”. 6. Rotate the laser 180º and make a mark where the cross meets target “B” and label as “B2”. 7. Calculate (A1-A2) - (B1-B2) = E. If the absolute value of E is above 1mm, the laser accuracy is out of tolerance and calibration is required. Self-Check and Calibration The instrument has two calibration apertures. Aperture “A” adjusts the horizontal axis.
