CAUTION
Using of controls or adjustments of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The A510 is a precision instrument which must be handled with
care. Avoid shock and vibrations. Always store and transport
the laser and its accessories in the carrying case.
Although weather resistant, you must always keep your laser
and its accessories dry and clean after using. This will increase
the battery life.
Do not store your instrument in its case if the instrument or the
case are wet, to avoid water condensation inside the instru-
ment. To maintain the precision of your A510, check and adjust
it regularly.
Keep the lenses of the apertures dry and clean. Use a soft cloth
and glass cleaner to clean them.
Handling tips for the A510S:
Do not store your laser at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) or
above 176°F (80°C).
We recommend regular charging of the NiCd batteries in the
A510S. Charge them only when they are out of power or
becoming so. Charging the A510S batteries when they are still
usable will shorten their capacity.
Handling tips for the A510G:
Do not store your laser at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) or
above 140°F (60°C).
In cold temperatures, warm-up may be required. If you are
using the laser when temperatures are between 14° and 32° F
(-10° and 0° C), the laser beam will be visible within 10 to 12
minutes, and will reach full power within 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Care and Handling
20
GB F E D I N FIN NL
1.
Turn off the laser (17).
2.
While keeping “Man” (19) pressed, turn on the laser (17).
3.
After the 3 LEDs blink in sequence, release Man key.
4.
The Z LED (22) will blink rapidly for a bit and then slowly,
indicating it’s ready to be calibrated in Z axis. The beam will
not be rotating.
When it’s in calibration mode, rotate the beam by pressing the
scan key, and make these adjustments:
1.
Use the < and > keys (13 and 14) until the beam is perfectly
vertical and parallel to the plumb line.
2.
Move the beam slightly so that the beam is over the plumb
line for the final check.
3.
After completing the Z calibration, press the – or
.
key (15)
to save it. The laser will shut off. If you are not sure of the cali-
bration and do not wish to save it, turn the laser off with the
On/Off key.
4.9 Cone error checking
1.
Set up the laser about 2 feet (60 cm) away from a wall (A)
or a pole and 100 feet (30 m) from another wall or pole (B).
2.
Turn the laser on.
3.
After it has self-leveled, stop the rotation and mark the loca-
tion of the beam (center of the beam) on the near wall (A). Use
a detector if ambient conditions are too bright.
4.
Rotate the laser 180°. Mark the location of the center of the
beam on the far wall (B).
5.
Set up the laser about 2 feet (60 cm) away from the far
wall. After the laser has self leveled, line up the beam near the
previous mark (B), and make a new mark (B').
6.
Mark the location of the beam (A’) on the other wall near the
first mark (A) using the detector if necessary.
7.
Compare the two sets of marks on the wall. If the difference
between AA’-BB’ exceeds 3/16" (5mm), contact your local
service center.
