case of a dead battery, the tool will beep and
flash the LEDs then automatically shut down
when battery has been exhausted.
Remove the batteries from the tool when not
using it for extended periods. When storing for
extended periods, the batteries can corrode and
discharge themselves. To replace batteries,
detach the rod clamp (fig. C) from the detector
by turning the knob 19 on the rod clamp. Open
the battery door 11 by pulling latch.
Install batteries with correct polarity. Close the
battery door and engage the latch.
– To attach the rod clamp (fig. C) to the
detector, align projections on the rod clamp
with corresponding recess on the back of the
detector, and tighten the knob 19 . To detach
rod clamp from the detector, unscrew the knob
19 completely.
– To attach the rod clamp to leveling rod 18 ,
loosen the knob 17 on the rod clamp, slide the
rod clamp on the leveling rod 18 to the desired
location, and tighten the knob 17 . The spirit
level
20
can be used to approximately level the
leveling rod. Adjust position of leveling rod until
bubble in spirit level 20 is within the circle.
Wear eye protection. If
Spirit Level leaks, soak
up with appropriate absorbent material
and dispose of safely.
Spirit Level contains
flammable liquid that may cause respiratory
tract, eye and skin irritation.
– Turn on the instrument by pressing the ON/
OFF button on the keypad. The LCD symbols
will momentarily be lit and the unit will beep
once. The Coarse bandwidth indicator and soft
volume indicator will remain lit.
– Expose the beam capture window of the
laser detector towards the direction of the laser.
– Slowly move the laser detector in an upward
and downward direction until the LCD beam
indicator arrows appear and/or a pulsing audio
signal is heard. Use the Bandwidth Resolution
Selection feature to choose between the Fine/
Coarse setting. Coarse resolution setting is
for approximating level or for initial locating of
the center level point. Fine resolution setting is
used for most accurate pin pointing of level.
– Move the detector upward when the bottom
arrow icon is lit (fig. 5) (with volume on, a slow
pulsing audio tone is heard). Move the detector
downward when the top arrow icon is lit (fig. 3)
(with volume on, a rapid pulsing audio tone is
heard). When the line is level, the level laser
line indicator will be lit (fig. 4) (with volume on, a
solid audio tone will be heard).
If the detector is not struck by a laser beam
after 4-6 minutes, the detector will automatically
shut itself off to preserve battery life. Turn the
instrument back on using the power button.
Note: The detector will only work when the
instrument is in pulse mode.

1) The working range can be decreased by unfavorable environmental
conditions (e.g. direct sun irradiation).
Please observe the article number on the type plate of your tool. The
trade names of the individual tools may vary. The tool can be clearly
identified with the serial number 12 on the type plate.
Initial Operation
Protect the tool against moisture. Do not
subject the tool to extreme temperatures or
variations in temperature. As an example, do
not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In
case of large variations in temperature, allow
the tool to adjust to the ambient temperature
before putting it into operation. In case
of extreme temperatures or variations in
temperature, the accuracy of the tool can be
impaired.
Setting Up the Tool (see figure A)
Position the tool at least 3ft (1m) away from
the rotary laser. Switch on the rotary laser, and
select horizontal or vertical operation. Position
the tool in such a manner that the laser beam
can reach the reception area 6. Align the tool
in such a manner that the laser beam runs
laterally through the reception area (as shown
in the figure).
Switching On and Off
A loud audio signal sounds when
switching on the tool. Therefore, keep the
tool away from your ear or other person
when switching on.
The loud audio signal
can cause hearing defects.
