1. Set the instrument on a level surface such as a flat head tripod
located between two walls (marked 1 & 2) approximately 25 feet apart.
(See fig. 1). The laser should be as close as possible to wall 1.
2. Point the instrument directly at wall 1. Turn the laser on and mark the
beam as point A.
3. Turn the instrument 180 degrees so that the laser is pointed directly at
wall 2. Mark the beam on wall 2 as point B.
4. Move the instrument and the tripod so the laser is positioned as close
as possible to wall 2 (see fig. 2). Level the tripod and position the
instrument on the tripod facing wall 2. Turn the laser on and mark
the beam as point C.
5. Turn the laser off and rotate the laser 180 degrees so that it is
facing directly to wall 1.
6. Turn on the laser and mark the beam
as point D.
7. Measure the vertical distance between
points A & D.
8. Measure the vertical distance between
points B & C.
9. If the differences in distance between
points A & D and points B & C is less
than 1/8" at 25', your instrument is
within its tolerance.
10. If it is greater than 1/8" at 25', your
unit will need to be recalibrated.
