2.2 Tilt key (22)

Tilt : H.I.-Alert mode. Will work only when selected. The Tilt function
is also known as the H.I. (height of instrument) Alert. This feature
stops the laser automatically if the laser is jarred or moved, prevent-
ing inaccurate readings. Use this feature only in automatic mode, not
in manual.
Push the Tilt key (22) after turning the instrument on. The H.I. Alert
feature is available 30 seconds after the instrument has self-leveled.
The red light above the Tilt key will blink when operating in this mode.
If the laser is disturbed, the head will stop rotating and the red light
will be on continuously. Turn the laser off, wait 5 seconds, and turn
it on again (check that the beam is at its original reference).

2.3 Horizontal setup

1. The SKR301 laser can be used directly on the ground, on a wall
mount or on a standard tripod (5/8 - 11).
2. Press the On/Off key (24) to switch the laser on. It will start its
automatic leveling.
3. To select the Manual mode, press key (20).
4. To select the H.I.-Alert mode, press key (22). This feature is avail-
able 30 seconds after the laser has leveled itself.
5. If you wish to move the laser beam to a specific point, briefly
press key (14 ) or (15).
6. To adjust the rotation speed, press key (14) or (15) continuously
according to the direction you wish. To stop the rotation, press once
on the opposite key.
7. To turn the laser off, press key (24).

2.4 Vertical setup

No accessories are needed for this position. The SKR301 can be
used directly on the ground. However, it can be used on a mount for
a better setup.
1. Flip up the retractable foot (7). Place the instrument in vertical
position, resting on this foot. Use the adjustable feet (8) to rough level
the laser.
2.Turn the instrument on. Once the instrument is leveled, the head
will start rotating.

2.5 Squaring

1. Put the laser on the ground and repeat steps 1 and 2 for vertical use.

2. Stop the head rotation by pressing key (14) or (15).
3. To position the rotating vertical plane perpendicular to a reference line:
• Align the arrow (5) located below the beam aperture with the
index (6) located above the retractable foot (there is also an
index mark on the foot).
• Move the laser so that the beam is over the reference point
on the ground, keeping the arrow and index aligned.
• Align the beam projecting from the top of the head to your
second reference point with key (16) or (17) on the laser or with
the detector or remote control. (This beam is 90°, or square,
to the other vertical plane beam).
• Start rotating the head using keys (14) or (15) to
change speed or use the chalk line.
It is important to check while you're using the laser that it has not
been moved and that your setting is still accurate.

2.6 Rotation speed

Your laser is equipped with a visible laser diode. It may be necessary
to adjust the rotation speed according to the ambient light conditions
using keys (14) and (15).
The laser beam is more visible in slow motion. It is possible to stop
the rotation and point the beam manually to view the beam over long
distances.

2.7 Using the chalk line

Ideal for viewing at short distances. To use the laser line
feature, hold the head and rotate the top cover (12) so that the beam
comes out of the laser line aperture (4). This will give a precise and
stable laser line for working directly on your reference plane. You
can move the line by rotating the head manually or by using the
remote control.
The LDR180 detector will not work with the chalk line
feature.
2.8 Using the scanning mode
Allows you to see the beam easier when the laser is
f u rther away. To use the scanning feature, turn the laser on. The
laser should be in 'point' mode.
