4.2 Checking X axis
1. Place the laser on a flat surface or tripod 100 ft. (30 m) away from
a wall. Position so that X (noted on top of laser) is facing the wall.
2. Turn on the laser.
3. Mark the location of the center of the beam. If it's too bright to
see the beam, use a detector, or put in scan mode.
4. Rotate the laser 180 degrees so that X faces the wall.
5. Mark the location of the center of the beam near the first mark
so that both marks are in line, one above the other.
6. At 100 ft., the marks should be no more than 3/16" apart (at
30m, no more than 5mm apart). This is within the stated accuracy
of ± 3/32" at 100 ft. (± 0.0075%).
7. If the marks are close enough, X axis is within calibration. The
second axis (Y) must then be checked (see later section).
If the marks are not close enough, the X axis needs to be calibrated.
4.3 Calibrating X axis
The laser must be calibrated to bring the beam to the center of the
two X marks.Read "Calibration Overview" before proceeding.
1. Turn off the laser.
2. While keeping "Man" (19) pressed, turn on the laser (17).
3. After the 3 LEDs blink in sequence, release Man key.
4. The X LED (20) will blink rapidly for a bit and then slowly,
indicating it's ready to be calibrated in X axis. The beam will not
be rotating.
If the LED (22) is blinking and the beam is rotating, it is not in cali-
bration mode. Turn off and repeat the steps above.
5. If you have not moved the laser, use the X marks made in
previous steps of "Checking X axis". If you need a rotating beam
for the detector, press the scan key.
6. Use the arrow keys to move the beam up or down to the
halfway mark. If the X axis is toward the wall with the marks, use
the

beam. (If X' faces the wall, the movement is the opposite).

7. After completing the X calibration, press the + or >>
to change the axis and to calibrate the Y axis. When the Y LED
blinks slowly, the laser is ready to be calibrated on the Y axis.
8. If the Y axis does not have to be calibrated, press the - or
(15) to save the calibration you have just made on X axis. The laser
will shut off. If you are not sure of the calibration and do not wish
to save it, turn the laser off with the On/Off key.
4.4 Checking Y axis
1. Rotate the laser 90 degrees so that Y is facing the wall.
2. Mark the location of the center of the beam.
3. Rotate the laser 180 degrees so that Y faces the wall.
4. Mark the location of the beam center near the first mark.
5. At 100 ft., the marks should be no more than 3/16" apart (at
30m, no more than 5mm apart). This is within the stated accuracy
of ± 3/32" at 100 ft. (± 0.0075%).
6. If the marks are close enough, Y axis is within calibration.
Proceed to "Final X to Y Check." If the marks are not close enough,
Y axis needs to be calibrated.
4.5 Calibrating Y axis
The laser must be calibrated to bring the beam to the center of the
two Y marks. Read "Calibration Overview" before proceeding.
If you are still in calibration mode from the X axis, press the + or >>
key (16) to change to the Y axis. When the Y LED (21) blinks
slowly, it's ready to be calibrated in Y axis.
If you're no longer in calibration mode:
1. Turn off the laser.
2. While keeping "Man" (19) pressed, turn on the laser (17).
3. After the 3 LEDs blink in sequence, release Man key.
4. The X LED (20) will blink. The beam will not be
rotating. If the Z LED is blinking and the beam is rotating, it is not in
calibration mode. Turn off and repeat the steps above.
5. Press the + or >>
key (16) to change to Y axis. Y LED (21) will
I
blink rapidly for a bit and then slowly, indicating it's ready to be
calibrated in Y axis.
If you have not moved the laser, use the Y marks made in previous
steps of "Checking Y axis".
