2. Directions of Use
2.1 Set Up
Location
Keep the location clear of possible obstructions that could
block or reflect the laser beam.
Place the i66R on stable ground. Ground vibration and
extremely windy conditions can affect the operation.
When working in a very dusty environment place the 66R
up-wind so the dirt is blown away from the laser.
Setting
up on a
Tripod
Attach the i66R securely to a tripod or mount on a stable
level surface.
If a tripod has chains, they should be slightly loose to allow
for thermal expansion during the day.
Secure the tripod on extremely windy days.
2.2 Turning On/Off
Turning on and
off
Press the power button (a) to turn on/off the 66R
After turning on:
If set within the 5° self-levelling range, the i66R will self-level,
once the unit has self-levelled the laser head will start to spin
emit a rotating laser beam.
If the unit is bumped or senses interference the laser head
will stop spinning and re-level. Once unit has re-levelled the
laser head will begin to spin again, emitting a level line
Warning
- If the unit has been bumped or moved and the laser
recommences spinning the instrument may not be at the original
level position. Please recheck you RL/datum point.
2.3 Tilt Warning System (TWS)
Description
of (TWS)
Mode
To prevent the possibility of the i66R giving a different reading than
is expected due to a knock or the laser being moved by a third party
the TWS function can be used and will prevent the unit re-levelling
and spinning in the event of a knock or movement.
Using TWS
Mode
Press the TWS button (c) (TWS on/off) to turn on the TWS.
When activated the LED (d) will light.
When the TWS is activated on the i66R, if the unit is knocked or
interfered with, the laser will stop spinning and the TWS indicator
light (d) will flash. The laser will then need to be reset by the
operator, before the laser will begin to spin again.
To reactivate TWS, press the TWS button again, and the laser
will re-level and begin to spin again. It is advised to check
RL/Datum point when unit re-levels.
