6. After calibrating X, check Y. Rotate laser 90° degrees so that
-Y is facing the wall (this is the side of the laser with the keypad).
7. Select the Y axis by pressing the double arrow key ( >>l ) on
the remote (or the HI key on the laser keypad).
Look for
• Y LED blinking rapidly, indicating leveling. When the LED blinks
slowly, the laser is ready to verify Y axis calibration.
8. Check Y calibration:
a) With detector, mark center of the beam (-Y).
b) Rotate laser 180° so +X is facing wall or pole.
c) With detector, mark center of the beam (+Y).
d) At 100 ft., the 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 (v) ARROW keys on the
remote or laser keypad to move beam up or down to the center.
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.
3.5 Cone Error Checking
1. Set up the laser about 2 ft. (60 cm) away from a wall (a) or
pole and 100 ft. (30 m) from another wall (b) or pole.
2. Turn the laser on. After it has self-leveled, mark the location
of the beam on the near wall (a). Always mark the center of the
beam. If it's too bright to see the beam, use a detector.
3. Rotate the laser 180°. Mark the location of the beam on the
far wall (b).
4. Now set up the laser about 2 ft. (60 cm) away from the far
wall (b). Mark the beam (b') near the first mark (b).

5. Rotate the laser 180°. Mark the location of the beam on the
other wall (a'), near the first mark (a).
6. Compare the two sets of marks on the walls. If the difference
between aa'-bb' exceeds 1/4" (6 mm), contact your local serv-
ice center.

4. Care and Handling
CAUTION
Use of control or calibration procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
1. The LT200 is a precision instrument that must be handled
with care. Avoid shock and vibrations.
2. After use, it's recommended that you wipe the laser dry and
store in a dry place. Do not store the laser in its case if the
laser or the case are wet.
3. Do not store the laser at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) or
above 176°F (80°C); the electronic components could be damaged.
4. To maintain the precision of your laser, check and adjust it
regularly.
5. Keep the glass lighthouse of the laser clean with a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
