8) Check Y calibration:
a) With detector, mark center of the beam (-Y).
b) Rotate laser 180° so +Y is facing wall.
c) With detector, mark the center of the beam (+Y).
d) At 100 ft., the two marks should be no more than 1/4" apart.
(At 30 m, no more than 6 mm apart.) If the marks are close enough,
Y axis is within calibration; proceed to Step 10.
9) If not, the laser must be calibrated to bring the beam to the center of
the two Y marks. Use the
∧
or
∨
keys on the remote (< or > on the laser
keypad) to move beam up or down to the calibration target.
10) Final X to Y check: compare X to Y axes to be sure that your adjusted
calibration is within specification of ± 1/8" at 100 ft. (± 3 mm at 30 m).
Turn the laser 90° each time; the marks for +X, -Y, -X, +Y should not be
more than 1/4" (6 mm) apart.
11) Press the key on the remote with the small dot to save the calibration
(or press the Auto/Man key on the laser)
If you are not sure of the calibration and do not wish to save it, do not press the
small dot, and turn the laser off with the On/Off key.
Checking Z Axis
1) Place the laser in vertical mode on a solid, stable surface about 20 ft.
(6 m) away from a plumb line (plumb bob or heavy object hanging on
a string, at least 8 ft. (2.5 m) high. You will be comparing the rotating
beam to the plumb line. If you need to calibrate, the beam will be easier
to see in a darkened room.
2) Rough level the laser using the adjustable feet to center the bubble in
the vertical vial.
3) Level the laser longitudinally with a bullet level.
4) Turn on the laser.
5) Use either scan or rotation mode. Using the scanning beam is easier,
but if you cannot see the beam, work in rotation mode with a detector.
6) Move the scan to the wall over the plumb line, sliding the laser left or
right to line up the beam over the plumb line. If in rotation mode, use
the < or > arrows to move the beam.
