HORIZON Laser System

System Description

The HORIZON laser system is a one-man leveling tool that allows one 

person to take accurate, self-leveled elevation measurements up to 800 

feet (250 m) away from the transmitter. 

The  laser  signal  is  rotated  in  a  360°  plane.  The  handheld  or  rod 

mounted laser detector reads the laser signal. The detector indicates 

the elevation information via a visual display on front and rear LCD's 

and  also  with  audible  tones.  Please  refer  to  the  detector  operating 

manual for details.

The HORIZON laser system is designed for all general construction 

and agricultural leveling tasks. Set the transmitter in a central location to 

provide an unobstructed continuous elevation reference. This reference 

can be used by multiple persons for a variety of leveling applications 

with additional laser detectors.

Features and Functions

1. Power Switch 

- turns 

the laser on and off.

2.  Battery  Housing 

Screws

  -  easy  access 

to  battery  compartment 

with  universal  key  or 

small coin. 

3. Handle

 - allows easy 

handling and safe set-up 

of the laser.

4.  Battery  Housing

  - 

holds four "D" cell alkaline 

batteries.

5.  Recharging  Jack

 

-  Rechargeable  battery

6. Low-Battery LED

 - flashes when batteries need replacing.

7. Rotating Prism

 - rotates at 600 rpm to transmit the laser signal.

8. Bull’s-Eye Level

 - provides quick reference for front to back and 

side to side leveling. 

9. Leveling Screws

 - turn clockwise or counterclockwise to bring the 

laser within self leveling range.

10. Mounting Base

 - supports the laser and allows the laser to be 

used freestanding.

11. Lighthouse

 - sealed compartment protects the internal components 

from the environment.

12. Out-of-Level LED

 - flashes when the laser is out of its self-leveling 

range.

13. X Axis Calibration Screw

 - allows the X axis of the laser to be 

adjusted in the field per the calibration procedure.

14. Y Axis Calibration Screw

 - allows the Y axis of the laser to be 

adjusted in the field per the calibration procedure.

15. 5/8-11 Tripod Mount

 - threaded insert allows the laser to be 

attached to a standard 5/8-11 construction tripod.
