SAFETY
Please read the safety instructions is provided in
the separate booklet provided with the device.
LASER RADIATION – Class 2 Laser product. – Do
not stare into beam
FIRST TIME USAGE
Remove all protection foils.
Place the provided LI-ION battery in the device
by opening the battery cover [06]. Make sure the
batteries are fully charged. The four LEDs of the
battery indicator light up green.
Place 4x AA Alkaline batteries in the remote
control.
BATTERY AND CHARGER
LASER:
The supplied li-ion battery (14.8V, 3400 mAh - art.
no.: H60031) should be screwed on the designat-
ed place of the device.
To check the battery level, press the small power
button on the battery to see the power indicators
(4 LEDS).
· 4 LEDS lights: > 75% power
· 3 LEDS lights: > 50% power
· 2 LEDS lights: > 25% power
· 1 LED lights: < 25% power
When the battery runs out of power, the project-
ed laser lines starts to ash slowly. The power
indicator [G] will start ashing red.
To charge this battery, you can use the provided
16V - 2.6A charger for charging (art.nr: H60032).
In order to avoid all risks, only use the charger
and battery provided with the laser instrument.
You can charge the battery during the usage of
the instrument.
DO NOT LEAVE A CHARGING BATTERY
UNATTENDED.
REMOTE CONTROL:
The remote control works with 4x 1.5V AA Alka-
line batteries.

FUNCTIONS
AUTO-LEVELLING
The Procross 8.0 DS rst automatically levels itself
after turning on the device. The laser can level
itself within an operating angle of approx. 3,5°.
The auto-levelling system performs the neces-
sary ne adjustments, with the help of electronic
measuring sensors, one for each axis.
TILT SECURITY
The tilt-security avoids measuring errors. By
default, the laser will be active with the tilt-secu-
rity activated. After turning on the laser or after
activating the tilt-security, the tilt-security is being
prepared during 50 seconds. During this time
you can install the laser in the correct position. 50
seconds after you hit the last button, the tilt-secu-
rity is active.
When the tilt-security sensors detect a small
shock (e.g. a vibration, a gust of wind, ...) the tilt
alarm is activated. This gives you the opportunity
to check if the laser is still in the correct position
after the shock. You must exit the tilt function,
place the laser in the correct position and restart
the tilt fucntion to continue. A new preparation
process of 50 seconds will start before the Tilt-se-
curity becomes active.
Tilt-security is the best choice if accuracy is
crucial.
DIGITAL SLOPE
There are 3 different manners of using the slope
function of the Procross 8.0 DS: manual, electron-
ic and digital. This last one is the most advanced
way to use the slope function.
Digital slope allows you to enter a known slope
percentage on the laser’s remote control, for
both the X and Y axes. Once conrmed, the laser
will automatically set itself to the correct slope.
IP66
The Procross 8.0 DS has an IP value of 66, which
means the laser has a complete protection
against dust and water projected against the
housing. This allows the Procross 8.0 DS to be
used indoors and outdoors.
USE
Press the power button [A] to turn on the device.
Self levelling and tilt-security countdown will
start. (see further).
· To use the remote control, activate the remote
function by pressing the remote control button
[F] (remote control indicator [L] becomes blue).

9
· Press the power button [a] of the remote con-
trol to turn on the remote control.
NOTE
The screen of the remote control has backlight-
ing. You can turn this functionality on by hold-
ing the tilt/backlight button [b] for 3 seconds.
When not used for 3 minutes, the remote con-
trol will automatically switch off to save battery
power.
When the laser device and remote control com-
municate with each other, the connection symbol
[X] and symbol remote control [XI] (including
their battery indication) will be visible in the lower
right corner of the display of the remote control
[12]. When there is no connection between laser
and remote control, only the symbol + battery
indication remote control [XI] is visible.
WHAT IF MY (NEW) REMOTE CONTROL DOES
NOT COMMUNICATE WITH MY DEVICE?
In normal circumstances, the supplied remote
control is paired with the device. In the excep-
tional cases this link is missing, or when you
need to replace the remote control, you can
pair it as follows:
1. Shut down the laser and the remote
control
2. Hold the H-button [c] and V-button [d] of
the remote control simultaneously.
3. While holding these buttons, press the
power button [a] of the remote control.
Both connection symbols of laser [X] and
remote control [XI] will ash slowly on the
display.
4. Switch on the laser device by pressing the
power button [A].
5. When succesfully paired, additional
symbols appears on the screen and the
remote control indicator [L] lights blue.
NOTE
The choice of the tripod determines the user-
friendliness of the device.
If the workplace has a high brightness, for
example when working outside in a sunny area,
you will need a laser receiver to detect the laser
beam. (see further)

AUTO-LEVELLING
After turning on the device or when you turn off
the slope mode, self levelling will automatically
place the laserlines 100% levelled.
While levelling, the status indicator [M] ashes
green and the levelling indicator [VII] on the
remote control’s display will ash as well.
When levelling is nished, and the laser lines
are 100% levelled, the status indicator [M] will
be green and the levelling indicator [VII] on the
remote control’s display will be visible.

< 3,5°
The laser can level itself in a range of approx. 3,5°
in every direction. This means the laser can show
100% horizontal or vertical lines when placed on
a sloped surface of approx. 3,5° maximum.
> 3,5°


In case the laser is placed on a surface that
exceeds the 3,5°, a levelled horizontal or vertical
laser line will no longer be possible.
The status indicator [M] will ash red rapidly, the
laser lines will ash rapidly and a fast beeping
sound will be heard. On the remote control the
levelling indicator [VII] will continue to ash.

Place the laser device on a atter surface, within
the levelling range of 3,5° or turn the adjusta-
ble feet [11] of the laser base [02] to bring the
device within the 3.5° levelling range if possible.
The laser will self level automatically when placed
