Buttons
= Inclination Setting
= ON/OFF Button
= Setting Inclination on Zero
The device is switched on by pressing this button.
The device and company data are then shown, followed by the operating display
with the last settings without button lock. The device is then levelled and
referenced on the zero point automatically. After the levelling phase the laser
beam and laser beam symbol stop blinking. If this does not happen, the device
must be moved into the levelling range by tilting it forwards. The display
illumination switches off after approx. 30 seconds automatically. The illumination
is switched on again by pressing the ON/OFF button shortly.To switch off the
device, press the ON/OFF button until “Auf Wiedersehen !” appears.
or
+
Pressing the arrow buttons changes the inclination value by 0.001 %.
The value is changed with increasing speed if the button is kept pressed.
The inclination value is set on 0.000 % by pressing the two arrow buttons at the
same time.
After setting one of the two arrow buttons the laser beam symbol changes to an
arrow.
It indicates the direction of movement and the current position. When end
position is reached, the laser beam and limitation symbol begin to blink. The
setting must then be moved back within 2.5 minutes. If this is not done, the laser is
switched off automatically.
= Direction Setting
After pressing the two arrow buttons the device is automatically centred in
middle position.
= Direction Centering
In addition to the respective arrow buttons also press the ON/OFF button.

6. Automatic Laser Cut-Out
Is is active, as soon as a T appears in the status display. This means the laser is
switched off automatically as a precautionary measure in the event of a jerky
movement (bump). The T then begins to blink. The laser must be switched on
again and the positioning checked and corrected if necessary.
7. Monitoring of Self-Levelling
The self-levelling function corrects even the smallest deviation. At a deviation of
approx. 0.01 % the laser beam and laser beam symbol begin to blink.
Depending on the setting, blinking can start earlier at approx. 0.005 % or later at
approx. 0.015 %.
10. Infrared Remote Control
For direction setting and laser switch on/off. Additionally the flicker mode can be
switched on/off by the ON/OFF button.
11. Calculating the Percentage
If the percentage value that is to be set is not known, it can be calculated as
follows:
Example:
Height difference between 2 points = 0.2 m
Length
between 2 points = 50 m
Height difference x 100 0.2 x 100
---------------------------------- = -------------- = 0.4 %
Length 50
Convert % in ‰ - move the decimal point one place to the right.
Convert ‰ in % - move the decimal point one place to the left.
8. Banking Compensation
The height deviation caused by a banking compensation is levelled automatically.
Arrows indicate the banking. When the banking increases, the arrows become
larger. When the arrows start blinking, the final position is reached. Turn the laser
in the direction of arrow as far as the arrows are no longer seen.
9. Flicker Mode
Flickering makes the laser beam significantly easier to see in unfavourable light
conditions.
12. Power Supply
7.4 V DC internal lithium ion rechargeable battery or 12 V DC external
rechargeable battery via connection cable 0117.02.
13. Battery Charging
• Carry out charging only with the power and charging unit, type NE-80 or
a 12 V DC external rechargeable battery via connection cable 0117.02.
• Keep charger dry and only use in rooms.
• For charging take the laser out of the transport case.
• Permissible charging temperature 0°C to + 40°C, as best + 10°C to + 25°C.
• After approx. 5 hours the charging time is finished. The display goes out or
the battery symbol shows a full battery.
• Low ambient temperatures reduce the running time, high temperatures
reduce the battery life.
• Damaged batteries must be disposed.
14. Troubleshooting
1. No laser beam - check power supply. Low battery?
2. Low range - clean laser beam exit window.
3. Laser beam blinks slowly - move device into the levelling range by tilting forwards.
4. Laser beam and direction limitation symbol blink slowly - reset laser from the
limitation.
5. Laser beam + banking arrows blink slowly - twist laser in direction of arrow until
the arrows are no longer seen.
If the errors of point 3, 4 and 5 are not corrected within 2.5 minutes, the device is
switched off automatically.
6. Laser switched off automatically (kick guard) - switch on the device again.
15. Maintenance
The laser requires no special maintenance. Keep the electrical connections clean.
Do not clean with water spray. Clean glass parts with a soft, clean cloth. Store dry.
Always transport the laser in its original case.
2. Pipe Laying made easy
Mount device over the point of reference in such a way that the banking arrows are
no longer seen (see
8.
). Adjust the inclination and align the laser beam to the point
of aim. After that join pipe after pipe and align each end to the target.
3. Set-up
The laser can be set up centrically or at a constant distance above the pipe
invert. Suitable legs, tripods and fastening systems are available for this.
Note:
If the diameter indicated on the feet does not correspond with the pipe
diameter, the target has to be set up directly in front of the laser and must
be adjusted to the correct height ignoring the diameter marking.
1. Description
The GEO pipe laser emits an automatically levelled or defined inclined laser beam
as reference axis. It was specially designed for pipe laying, but can also be used
for a variety of other purposes.
