Be sure to read Initial Setup Guidelines and set the

laser on a tripod or a stable surface which will not

change height or vibrate during your work. Do not

use a pickup bed, plastic bucket or picnic table (we

have seen all of these setups attempted by contractors

with predictably poor results).

Using the two leveling knobs, center the bubble in the

circular level vial (review the procedure if you have

difﬁculty). Facing the laser control panel and looking

down at the circular level vial, when you turn either

leveling screw clockwise, the bubble will move

toward that leveling screw. Once the bubble is

centered, start the laser by pressing the on/off (I/0)

button.

If long distance is required, the LaserVision® AUTO can be set-up in the middle of a site, covering a

total diameter of 1,000 feet (300 meters) using an optional receiver.

Periodically check your setup against existing benchmarks or set and check your own benchmarks.

Note that there are three ways to project a level reference from the LaserVision® AUTO: full 360°

rotation, scanning beam and ﬁxed beam.

360° rotation is used when working outdoors with a receiver (at maximum rotation speed), or when

indoors and a full plane is needed (at any speed that allows visibility).

Scanning the beam is helpful when working indoors in brightly lit conditions, since the sweep of the

beam is concentrated into a smaller area (scan can be varied to sweep approximately 90°, 45°, 30°, or

15° by using the + and - buttons when in scan mode). Once the beam is scanning at the desired width,

the location of the scanned area can be set by manually turning the rotating (scanning) head.

Fixed beam (rotation off) can be used to locate the height of a speciﬁc spot. With the rotation off, the

spot is aimed by manually turning the rotating head.

Level Alignment

The LaserVision® AUTO provides a precise

reference for level alignment needs such as:

Setting concrete forms

Grading and landscaping

Digging footers and basements

Checking and leveling ﬂoors

Soffets and cut-offs

Plug and switch heights

T-bar ceilings Vertical Alignment Along with the ability to project a level reference plane, the LaserVision® AUTO has a built-in manual vertical vial. When the laser is in its vertical position, the vertical vial located under the window in the control panel is used to plumb the rotatable beam of laser light.

Turning either knob counter-clockwise will have the opposite effect. 3. On / Off button: When the on/off button is pressed, the laser beams are projected if the circular level vial is centered, otherwise the leveling limit indicator will flash and the laser will not operate. (except in vertical mode - see Vertical And Line Layout Setup). 4.

Calibration procedure Note: Refer to the picture on page 2 for a diagram of the "X" and "Y" axis directions used during this calibration procedure. 1. Start with a tripod or stand that has been leveled (using a carpenter's level) to allow the laser to be turned to different positions with minimal re-leveling of the circular level vial.

After shaking, place the laser on the platform and re-check the Y-axis calibration. Make any further adjustments following the above procedure. Calibration is now complete. Pull firmly on tab at base of door to remove. Install batteries according to the instructions molded on the battery holder.

The rechargeable battery kit provides two industrial grade Ni-Cad batteries and a battery charger designed for a 10 hour charge time. Ni-Cad batteries will provide approximately 1/3 the operating time of alkaline batteries and are an environmentally friendly upgrade for your system.

The laser will not operate, there is no obvious damage If the low battery indicator is on, or you suspect the batteries may be dead, replace the batteries. Check the battery contacts to be sure that they are clean. The receiver shows an on-grade at two different heights Check the jobsite for windows or mirrored surfaces that might be reflecting the laser and causing the other reading.

Don't use the laser until you have read the instruction manual and you are familiar with how to operate the laser properly. U.S. OSHA requirements for operating visible lasers. Only qualified and trained employees are to install, adjust and operate the laser. (see operator card included with this manual) Laser operators must carry proof of qualification.

When the LaserVision® AUTO is in vertical mode, it is completely manual in operation and will not turn off if it is disturbed. Check the vertical vial and your benchmarks regularly to be sure your work will be accurate. The LaserVision® AUTO is designed for vertical alignment up to two stories high. The base of the LaserVision® AUTO has four notches molded-in to quickly allow the transferring of points from floor to ceiling.

Tripod mounting thread Occasionally, the threaded hole for the tripod bolt should be lubricated with a light oil. Caution Never store the laser in a carrying case that is wet inside. Moisture can get inside the laser this way.
