ACCURACy CHECK
The ambient temperature has
the greatest influence. Especially
temperature differences occurring
from the ground upward can divert
the laser beam. The deviations play a
role in excess of approx. 65-ft (20m)
measuring distance and can easily
reach two to four times the deviation
at 330-ft (100m). Because the largest
difference in temperature layers is
close to the ground, the instrument
should always be mounted on a
tripod when measuring distances
exceeding 65-ft (20m). If possible,
also set up the instrument in the
center of the work area.
Checking the Leveling Accuracy
Apart from exterior influences,
device-specific influences (such as
heavy impact or falling down) can
lead to deviations. Therefore, check
the accuracy of the instrument each
time before starting your work. A
free measuring distance of 165-ft
(50m) on a firm surface is required for
the check. A reversal measurement
must be carried out over both axes X
and Y (each positive and negative; 4
complete measurements).
– Mount the instrument in the
horizontal position onto a tripod or
place it on a firm and level surface
near wall. Switch the instrument
on. Position the X-axis to aim to a
wall or target plate.

– After the leveling, mark the center of
the laser beam on wall (point
H1
).
– Rotate the instrument by 180°,
allow it to level in and mark the
center point of the laser beam on
the wall (point
H2
).

– The difference
D
of both marked
points
H1
and
H2
on wall is the
actual deviation of the instrument
for the measured axis.
The value of
D
(deviation) should be
less than 5/16-in (8mm).
