The switching off of individual quadrants can 

only be controlled by using the Bosch Level-

ing Remote App. The quadrants in which the 

laser beam is visible can be seen in the laser 

operating mode indicator (a) on the home 

screen.

Automatic leveling

Overview
After switching on, the laser level checks the 

horizontal and vertical position and automati-

cally levels out any unevenness within the self-

leveling range of approx. ±8.5% (approx 5°).

The leveling indicator flashes on 

the display during leveling. The 

status display (12) on the laser 

level and the status display for the 

respective axis ((35) or (34)) on the remote 

control flash a uniform green at the same 

time.
The rotation is stopped until leveling has been 

completed and the laser beams are flashing. 

The home screen will appear after leveling 

has been successfully completed. The laser 

beams will light up continuously and rotation 

will start. The status display (12) on the laser 

level and the status display for the levelled 

axis ((35) or (34)) on the remote control will 

light up green continuously.

If the laser level is at a slant 

of more than 8.5%, leveling 

will no longer be possible. 

An error message will ap-

pear on the display and the status display 

(12) will flash red.
Reposition the laser level and wait for it to re-

level.

If the maximum leveling 

time is exceeded, leveling 

will be discontinued with 

an error message.
Reposition the laser level and briefly press the 

on/off button (11) to restart leveling.
Position changes
When the laser level is levelled in, it continu-

ously checks the horizontal and vertical posi-

tion. Re-leveling is automatically performed if 

there are any position changes.
Minimal position changes are levelled out 

without interrupting the operation. This auto-

matically compensates subsoil ground vibra-

tions or weather influences.

For  larger position changes, the rotation of 

the laser beam will be stopped in order to 

avoid faulty measurements during the leveling 

process and the laser beams will flash. The 

leveling indicator will appear on the display. 

The shock-warning function will be actuated, 

if required.
The GRL4000-80CHV will automatically detect 

the horizontal or vertical position. To change 

between the horizontal and the vertical po-

sition, switch the laser level off, reposition it 

and switch it on again.

If the position is changed without 

switching on/off, an error mes-

sage will appear and the status 

display (12) will quickly flash red. 

Briefly press the on/off button (11) to restart 

leveling.
Shock-warning function
The laser level has a shock-warning function. 

After position changes or shock to the mea-

suring tool, or in case of ground vibrations, 

it keeps the laser level from levelling in at 

changed positions, and thus prevents errors 

caused by a change in the laser level’s posi-

tion.
Activating the shock-warning function:

The shock-warning 

function is switched 

on automatically. It is 

activated approxi-

mately 30 seconds after the laser level has 

been switched on. During activation, the 

shock-warning indicator (c) will light up on 

the display. The indicator lights up continu-

ously after activation.
Shock warning actuated:

If the position of the 

laser level is changed 

or a severe knock is 

registered, the shock 

warning will be actuated. The laser will stop 

rotating and an error message will appear. 

The status display (12) will quickly flash red 

and a warning signal will sound at a faster 

rate.
Confirm the warning message with   by 

pressing the slope button (14) on the laser 

level or the slope button (32) on the remote 

control. When working with automatic level-

ling (including slope operation), levelling is 

automatically restarted.
