SERVICE BULLETIN
April 9, 2007
TO: ALL AGATEC SERVICE CENTERS
SUBJECT: LT200 / LT300 Operator’s Manuals – INFORMATION ONLY
This memo is not only re: the owner’s manuals, but also to make you aware of a spec correction.
LT300 brochure spec correction:
The brochure for the LT200 and LT300 printed Oct., 2006 has incorrect information in the LT300
specifications chart.
The specs state that the LT300 has manual grade (or slope match) in both X & Y axes. This is
correct.
It also states that in semi-automatic mode, X is manual and Y is automatic. This is incorrect - the
axes are wrong.
In the semi-automatic mode on the LT300, Y is manual and X is automatic.
The LT200 and LT300 are NOT the same. The LT200 has the opposite axis as self-leveling.
LT200 and LT300 new owner’s manuals
The attached manuals show the new receivers and have a number of other corrections. They
replace the manuals from July 2005.
If any of your customers have trouble calibrating these lasers (including older units), be sure that
they have the latest instructions dated 3/2007.
LT300 without semi-automatic slope match
Not to complicate matters, but…..as of about a month ago, there still were new LT300 units at
AGL which do not have the semi-automatic mode. They are black and silver. The latest models in
dark blue and silver have the semi-automatic mode. I ran off a small supply of different owner’s
manuals for the units without that function.

How To Use The LT200
Setup
Horizontal
The laser can be used on a 5/8-11 tripod, on a wall mount, or directly on a
solid, stable surface.
The LT200 has a wide self-leveling range; however, if the laser is set up out
of the leveling range, laser beam will continue to blink and rotation will not
start.
Turning On the Laser
Turn on the laser with the On / Off key (3). It does a self-test and the beam
blinks while the laser is self-leveling. After it’s levelled, the head rotates.
H.I. Alert
H.I. (height of instrument) Alert stops the laser automatically if the laser is
disturbed or moved, preventing inaccurate readings.
It will function only when selected. To activate this safeguard feature, press
the H.I. Alert key (1). The LED indicator (3) will blink rapidly while the
laser is self-leveling
About 30 seconds after the head starts to rotate, the LED will blink slowly,
indicating the H.I. Alert is activated.
If the laser is disturbed while in H.I. Alert mode, the head will stop rotating, the
beam will turn off, and the LED will stay on.
To start the laser rotating again, press On/Off twice.
Check to see if the beam elevation has changed from its original benchmark
position.
The laser is no longer in H.I. Alert mode. Press key (1) to return to H.I. Alert.
It is important to check while you're using the laser that it has not
been moved and that your setting is still accurate.

Rotation
Rotation Speed
The head rotates at 3 speeds: 0, 90 and 600 rpm.
To switch from 0 to 90 and 600 rpm, press on key (2).
The laser beam is more visible at slower rotation speeds. The faster speed
(600 rpm) is required for many machine control receiver applications.
Match Slope
The laser can be used to match manual slope on both X and Y axes. Two
modes are available: complete manual mode and semi-automatic mode.
Manual Mode
Press the Auto/Man key. The X LED will blink, indicating you’re in manual
mode and can match slope in the X axis. Press
∧ or ∨ on the keypad to
match a positive or negative slope.
To switch to the Y axis, press the H.I. key. Both LEDs will blink, indicating
you’re in manual mode and can match slope in the Y axis. Press
∧ or ∨ on
the keypad to match a positive or negative slope.
Semi-automatic mode
After turning the laser on and allowing it to self-level, hold the Auto/Man
key for a few seconds until the X LED is lit continually. The laser is in
automatic self-leveling mode in Y axis, and manual mode in X axis. Press
∧
or
∨ on the keypad to match a positive or negative slope in X; the Y axis will
stay level.
Press twice on the Auto/Man key to return to the automatic mode.
Caution: In manual mode, the beam rotates even if the laser is not leveled.
The H.I. Alert function is not available when the unit is in manual mode.
Care and Handling
CAUTION
Use of control or calibration procedures other than those specified here in 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.
Warranty
Your LT200 laser is guaranteed to be free of manufacturing defects for a
period of one year. Any abnormal usage, or if the instrument has been
subjected to shock, will void this warranty. Under no circumstances will the
liability of the manufacturer exceed the cost of repairing or replacing the
instrument.
Disassembling the laser by other than qualified technicians will void the
warranty. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

you’re in manual mode and can match slope in the Y axis. Press
∧ or ∨ on
the keypad to match a positive or negative slope.
Semi-automatic mode
After turning the laser on and allowing it to self-level, hold the Auto/Man
key for a few seconds until the X LED is lit continually. The laser is in
automatic self-leveling mode in Y axis, and manual mode in X axis. Press
∧
or
∨ on the keypad to match a positive or negative slope in X; the Y axis will
stay level.
Press twice on the Auto/Man key to return to the automatic mode.
