Setting the Amount of Slope:
Once Slope Mode is activated and the desired axis is active the
amount of slope can be adjusted as follows:
• Use the remote control up and down arrow buttons (Fig. E:
16
,
17
) to tilt the laser rotor head up and down.
Remote Control: Arrow Buttons
The arrow buttons (
16

) are used for different functions
depending on the operating mode of the laser unit.
In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode:
• The up and down arrows

line in Scan Mode.
• The left and right arrows
16
adjust the direction of the
laser beam in Scan Mode or Pointing Mode (0 rpm).
In Self-Leveling Vertical Mode:
• The arrow buttons (

up or down in the X and Y directions as marked on the
protective roll cage of the laser unit.
Remote Control: Speed/Rotation Button
The speed/rotation button
19
is used to adjust the speed of
the laser beam through its 4 preset speeds.
NOTE:
The speed/rotation button performs the same function
as the speed/rotation button on the control panel of the
laser unit.
Remote Control: Scan Mode Button
15˚/45˚/90˚
The scan mode button
18
is used to make the laser head
