Mains Charger:
The general procedure to adopt is use the laser during the day & charge-up
overnight. You cannot damage the system by "over-charging" the batteries.
When plugged into a 230V mains supply, the red LED flashes every 1 sec.
Connect to the rubber protected socket (located in the corner / base of the
battery pack) & this LED should be ON continuously:
ie. Red LED = charging; Green LED = sufficient charge to operate.
Even though the Green light is ON, we still recommend a full 6 hour charge.
The FRE-301 can be operated with the charger connected to the mains
supply, if required. On receipt of your
new
laser, we suggest charging the
batteries fully for 5 - 6 hours.
A Spare Battery holder is an optional extra & used as a back-up power
source.
Four type C, 1.5V Alkaline batteries can be used instead or in an emergency;
but do NOT attempt to recharge them, otherwise serious damage will occur.
Positioning the Laser:
Mount the FRE-301G on a generally level, firm surface or 5/8” threaded
tripod.
To operate correctly this surface must be /-5 deg of true horizontal.
The laser can be used Indoors or Outdoors, where it is waterproof to IP54.
Controls:
Power ON/OFF is via the black button. The laser takes approx. 20 seconds to
auto level (possibly fine setting again) & then the head rotates continuously
to project a visible, green laser beam. The rotational speed is variable in four
increments. Adjust head speed using the yellow speed control button (right
hand side in centre) & when pressed, it stops the green dot then increases
the head's rotational speed in 4 steps up to a maximum speed of 600rpm.
