Rotation direction detection error

Reposition the instrument horizontally.

WAIT

During laser position adjusting process

The display will appear during the adjustment of the laser after the startup of 
the instrument.

 

Operations can be performed just after "WAIT" disappears.

• If the battery is removed while the instrument is turned ON, this 

display may be appeared the next time the instrument starts up.

• This display may be appeared when operating at especially high/low 

temperature or starting up the instrument after the battery warning 
indication "EMPTY" being displayed.

• While "WAIT" is displayed, the key operations are impossible.

Safety Lock 

If the instrument is moved for any reason after the laser is OFF (standby 
mode) using the remote controller, a safety lock will be in operation. This is 
to insure operational accuracy. "SAFETY LOCK" will appear on the display 
and the laser beam and the indicator LED will flash. To reset, turn power OFF 
the instrument by the Power key on the control panel, check the instrument 
position, and then turn ON the instrument again. While the safety lock is in 
operation, power cannot be turned ON/OFF by the remote controller.
