Description of Instrument 03-BLL Sensor Nadir Laser plummet type SNLL111 • For centering the tripod over ground points. • For general-purpose plumbing. • For using reflector holders and sensors. Basic Laser Plummet-1.1.
Functions ON/OFF Function AutoOff The basic laser plummet is switched off automatically after approximately three minutes. 05-BLL This function is always active. Press briefly for switching on the basic laser plummet. © Leica Geosystems 7 Basic Laser Plummet-1.1.
Weak battery 17-BLL 06-BLL Laser brightness Permanent pressing changes brightness of laser. If the diode is flashing the capacity of the battery is too low. 07-BLL Always have spare batteries with you. This will ensure that work can be completed without discontinuation. Laser weak Laser intensive The brightness adjustment remains active even after switching off the basic laser plummet. Basic Laser Plummet-1.1.
Replacing batteries 3. Insert new batteries. 08a-BLL 08c-BLL 1. Remove cover. Insert batteries correctly. 2. Tilt the instrument to allow batteries to slide out. 08b-BLL 4. Close cover correctly. 08d-BLL Always replace the complete battery set. • Do not use old and new batteries together. • Do not use batteries from different manufacturers or batteries of different types. • For type of battery, refer to Technical Data.
Setting up Setting up over ground point 2 3 1 09b-BLL 1 09a-BLL 1 1. Set up tripod with tribrach (only GDF111 or GDF121) as vertically as possible above the ground point. 2. Insert basic laser plummet into the tribrach and switch on. 3. Turn the base screws of the tribrach until the laser spot coincides with the ground point. The basic laser plummet can only be used together with one of the tribachs mentioned above. No objects between basic laser plummet and target point. Basic Laser Plummet-1.1.
4. By adjusting the length of the tripod legs level-up the circular level. 4 5. By turning the footscrews level-up the circular level. Now the tribrach is leveled up exactly. 6. Shift the tribrach on the trivet until the laser spot coincides again with the ground point. 4 4 7. Check levelling and repeat steps 5 and 6 of this procedure until the required positioning accuracy is reached. 10-BLL 4 Always lock basic laser plummet SNLL111 in the tribrach! © Leica Geosystems 11 Basic Laser Plummet-1.1.
Checking and Adjusting Under normal circumstances adjusting the basic laser plummet is not necessary. Checking by turning the instrument by 120°: 1. Install the instrument on the tripod and level up. 2. Switch on the basic laser plummet and mark the centre of the red point on the ground. 3. Switch off the basic laser plummet, detach the basic laser plummet from the tribrach and turn 120° about the plummet axis. 4. Mount the basic laser plummet back onto the tribrach and switch on the basic laser plummet. 5.
11-BLL 3 x 120° 26-BLL ≤ 1.6 mm / 1.5 m Laser spot: diam. 2.5 mm / 1.5 m If the centre of the laser spot makes a clearly triangular movement or if the centre of the spot moves away more than 1.4 mm from the first marked point an adjustment may be necessary. Call your nearest Leica Geosystems service workshop. Depending on brightness and surface the size of the laser spot can vary. At a distance of 1.5 m its average diameter is 2.5 mm.
Care and Storage Transport: When dispatching the equipment, always use the complete original optional Leica Geosystems packaging. When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure to: • either carry the instrument in its original optional transport case or • carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulders, keeping the attached basic laser plummet (SNLL111) upright. 14-BLL 25-BLL Remove batteries from the basic laser plummet when it is shipped via rail, air or sea transport.
Storage: When storing the equipment, particularly in summer and inside a vehicle, take the storage temperature limits (-40°C to + 70°C / -40°F to +158°F) into account. Damp instruments must be unpacked. Dry the instrument, the case, the foam inserts and the accessories at not more than 40°C / 108°F and clean them. Do not repack until everything is completely dry. For long period of storage, remove batteries from the instrument.
