Vertical Rotation Operation for Site Layout

ARL516G

TM 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The ARL516G

TM

 can be used on its side for vertical alignment or together 

with the dot laser out of the front to produce a 90 degree square for site 

layout.  The ARL516G

TM

 can be placed on its side with the datum marker 

over the correct point and the laser levelled with the bubble vial and manual 

levelling knob.

For site layout squaring;

• 

Place datum marker over the datum point marking the conjunction of 

the 90 degree lines.

• 

Align laser housing so dot is striking target point along the one line of 

the 90 degrees, adjust the housing of the laser left and right to achieve 

this.

• 

Once the dot is on the target use the receiver to pick up the rotating line 

on the second line of the 90 degree.  Your square is now set.

Rotation Scan Modes - For Indoor Visibility

The Scan Mode stops the laser from rotating and toggles the beam left to 

right, intensifying the beam making the laser more usable indoors as a visible 

laser. You can set the scan angle to 0

o

, 20

o

 and 40

o

 and shift the beam both 

left and right. The Scan Mode can be operated by both the Control key pad 

on the laser and also the Remote Control.
