5. Both measurements must be at the same place.
At 100 m, the marks should be no more than 15 mm apart. This is 7.5 mm
at 100 m levelling accuracy.
6. If the marks are close enough, X-axis is within calibration. The second axis
(Y) must then be checked (see Step 7).
If the marks are not close enough, the X-axis needs to be calibrated (see
7. To check the Y-axis, turn the laser 90° from Step 4 so that Y2 is facing the
wall. Repeat the same steps: mark the Y beam, rotate 180°, and mark
again. If the marks are more than 15 mm apart at 100 m, the Y-axis
should be calibrated.
1. Place the laser on a flat surface 15 or 30 m
from a wall. Position it so that the X2 is
facing the wall.
2. Switch the laser on. After it's level, stop the
rotation so that the beam is a point.
3. Mark the location of the beam.
4. Rotate the laser 180°. After 90 seconds,
mark the location of the beam near the first
mark.
