327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 3 2. Features and Functions • • Large electronic self-level range: The unit works when within ±5°. When beyond the ±5° leveling range, the laser line flashes, rotation of the beam stops, and an audible alarm activates. Vertical and horizontal working modes: electronic self-leveling in both horizontal and vertical mode with one rotating laser beam and one 90º split beam. Two rotational speeds: 120 and 500 rpm Scan function adjusts the scan line size and scan direction.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 4 ATTENTION IMPORTANT • Read all instructions prior to operating this laser tool. Do not remove any labels from tool. • Do not stare directly at the laser beam. • Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. • Do not set up laser tool at eye level or operate the tool near a reflective surface as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes or into the eyes of others.

3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 7 Alkaline Battery Installation 1. Remove battery compartment cover by loosening the bolt with a slotted screwdriver or a coin. Remove the Ni-MH battery packs from the chambers inside the battery compartment, making sure to disconnect the two-pin connectors. Then, insert 4 - “C” alkaline batteries into the chambers, noting polarity as shown on chamber bottoms or cover of battery compartment.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 8 Instrument Usage 1. Put in Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, or 4 “C” alkaline batteries (not included), or connect the 6V DC battery adaptor to the unit’s power jack. 2. Place the instrument on a platform or tripod, connecting with tripod to the 5/8" screw thread at the bottom of the instrument. Note: If the instrument is inclined beyond the self-leveling range, the instrument will deliver an audible alarm.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 9 Power On/Off 1. Press the power button to power on. The power indicator lamp should light up and then the instrument will automatically level itself, with rotation occurring once the unit is level. 2. Press the power button again to power off. 3. Pressing the red power button on the remote will power down the laser beam and rotating beacon, but does not power off the laser. Low Battery Indicator If the battery indicator lamp is blinking, it means the battery is low.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 10 Speed Adjustment After unit electronically self-levels, it rotates at its highest speed. Press the speed adjustment button (see figure) on either the laser keypad or remote to change the rotating speed. Note: During the self-leveling sequence, this key is not functional. Scan Mode 1. Press the scan mode button (see figure) on either the laser keypad or remote to activate scan mode. 2. With the second press of this button, the unit emits a shorter bright laser line. 3.

Press the slope mode button again to select Y-direction slope. - Press the button pointing to the left to shift the slope angle to the left. - Press the button pointing to the right to shift the slope angle to the right. 3. Another press of the slope mode button changes back to X-direction slope selection. Pressing and holding the button returns the unit to normal operation.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 12 Using the Integral Vertical Mounting Bracket The integral vertical mounting bracket allows the unit to be used in the vertical position on a table or tripod. To use the unit with the vertical mounting bracket: 1. Place the unit on its side flipping the vertical bracket on the handle up. 2.

When detecting a vertical laser signal, it is important to have the bubble vial centered, as the deflection of the receiver will influence its receiving accuracy. 3. Keep the reception window facing the laser while detecting. 4. Hold the unit stable while detecting. LED Function Power on and press the LED key, the LCD will now be backlit. Automatic Shut-off Function When the unit does not receive a laser signal for 6 minutes, the unit will power off automatically.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 18 8. Self-Check & Fine Calibration IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the calibration of the instrument before each use. The instrument must be self-checked before operation. If the accuracy is found beyond tolerance, user can make adjustment according to directions as follows. X & Y-Direction Accuracy Self-Check 1. Note the X & Y-direction on top of the laser. 2.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 19 7. If point C and point D are within 1/32” at 50’, the accuracy is within tolerance. Fine Calibration Using the Remote Control The following procedure is only valid when adjusting out errors that are less than 1/2” over 100ft. Errors larger than 1/2” at 100ft. must be done by a qualified technician. Reference section 12 for further information. 1. Access calibration mode by simultaneously pressing the Power button and the TILT button . 2.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 20 • Once the desired axes has been selected, the UP arrow and DOWN arrow buttons are used to adjust the position of the laser plane. X-Axis Calibration 1. Place the unit into calibration mode as discussed above. 2. Position the unit so that the X-axis is directed to the two targets. 3. Press the button on the remote control to toggle calibration control to the X-axis. 4.
3327H_Manuals 4/23/10 1:09 PM Page 21 3. Press the button on the remote control to toggle calibration control to the X-axis. 4. Press the UP arrow and DOWN arrow buttons, respectively to adjust the laser height to coincide with the zero position of the target. 5. Press the ENTER button on the remote control to accept the calibration value, noting that the status indicator goes “OFF”. 6. After calibration is completed, make sure to power off the unit and then power on again to activate the calibration.
