Example applications

Position the measuring tool in the horizontal position on a firm support or mount it on a tripod (43) (accessory).

Working with a tripod: Set the laser beam at the required height. Project or check the height at the target location.

Working without a tripod: Determine the height difference between the laser beam and the height at the reference point using the laser target plate (51). Project or check the height difference measured at the target location.

When right angles are to be projected or partition walls are to be aligned, the upwards plumb point (10) must be aligned in parallel, meaning at the same distance to a reference line (e.g. a wall).

For this, set up the measuring tool in the vertical position and position it in such a manner that the upwards plumb point runs approximately parallel to the reference line.

For the exact positioning, measure the clearance between the upwards plumb point and reference line directly on the measuring tool using the laser target plate (51). Measure the clearance between the upwards plumb point and reference line again as far away as possible from the measuring tool. Align the upwards plumb point in such a manner that it has the same clearance to the reference line as when measured directly at the measuring tool.

The right angle to the upwards plumb point (10) is indicated by the variable laser beam (8).

To indicate a perpendicular or a vertical plane, set up the measuring tool in the vertical position. When the vertical plane is supposed to run at a right angle to a reference line (e.g. a wall), align the upwards plumb point (10) with this reference line.

The perpendicular plane is indicated by the variable laser beam (8).

To align the vertical laser line or the rotational plane against a reference point on a wall, set up the measuring tool in the vertical position, and roughly align the laser line or the rotational plane with the reference point. For precise alignment with the reference point, turn the rotational plate around the X-axis see Turning the rotational plane when in the vertical position.

Under favourable light conditions (dark environment) and for short distances, it is possible to work without the laser receiver. For improved visibility of the laser beam, either select line operation or point operation and rotate the laser beam to the target location.

In unfavourable lighting conditions (bright environment, direct sunlight) and for larger distances, use the laser receiver to improve detection of the laser beam (41). When working with the laser receiver, select rotational operation with the highest rotational speed.

The laser receiver (41) should always be used when working outdoors.

When working on unstable ground, mount the measuring tool on the tripod (43). Always work with the shock-warning function activated in order to avoid faulty measurements in case of ground movements or shocks to the measuring tool.

Mount the measuring tool in the horizontal position on a tripod (43) and set up the tripod outside the formwork area. Select rotational operation.

Secure the laser receiver (41) to a measuring rod (42) with the holder. Position the measuring rod on a reference point for the formwork.

Align the height of the laser receiver on the measuring rod so that the variable laser beam (8) of the measuring tool is indicated as "centred" (see operating instructions for the laser receiver).

Then position the measuring rod with the laser receiver, one after the other, at different test locations on the formwork. Make sure that the laser receiver remains in the same position on the measuring rod.

Correct the height of the formwork until the laser beam is indicated as "centred" at all test locations.

Mount the measuring tool in the horizontal position on a tripod (43). Select rotational operation.

Set up the tripod with the measuring tool so that the X-axis is aligned with the slope that is to be checked.

Set the target slope as the slope for the X-axis see Slope operation in the horizontal position.

Secure the laser receiver (41) to a measuring rod (42) with the holder. Place the measuring rod at the base of the slope surface.

Align the height of the laser receiver on the measuring rod so that the variable laser beam (8) of the measuring tool is indicated as "centred" (see operating instructions for the laser receiver).

Then position the measuring rod with the laser receiver, one after the other, at different test locations on the slope surface. Make sure that the laser receiver remains in the same position on the measuring rod.

If the slope of the plane is correct, the laser beam will be indicated as "centred" at all test locations.
