17. Troubleshooting
1. No laser beam - check power supply. Low battery?
2. Low range - clean laser beam exit window.
3. Laser beam blinks slowly - move device into the levelling range by tilting forwards.
4. Laser beam and direction limitation symbol blink slowly - reset laser from the
limitation.
5. Laser beam + banking arrows blink slowly - twist laser in direction of arrow until
the arrows are no longer seen.
If the errors of point 3, 4 and 5 are not corrected within 2.5 minutes, the device is
switched off automatically.
6. Laser switched off automatically (kick guard) - switch on the device again.

21. Disposal
The device must not be disposed together with the houshold rubbish
(electric scrap).
16. Maintenance
The laser requires no special maintenance. Keep the electrical connections clean.
Do not clean with water spray. Clean glass parts with a soft, clean cloth. Store dry.
Always transport the laser in its original case.

5. Power Supply
4.8 V DC internal rechargeable battery or 12 V DC external rechargeable battery
using transformer cable 0117.00.
6. Battery Charging
• Carry out charging by using the charger LG-50.
• Keep charger dry and only use in rooms.
• For charging take the laser out of the transport case.
• Do not charge at minus temperature.
• After approx. 4 hours the charging time is finished, the charging light blinks.
• Only after several charging and discharging processes the battery obtains its
total power.
• Faulty NiCd batteries have to be disposed.
After setting one of the two arrow buttons the laser beam symbol changes to an arrow.
It indicates the direction of movement and the current position. When end position is
reached, the laser beam and limitation symbol begin to blink. The setting must then
be moved back within 2.5 minutes. If this is not done, the laser is switched off
automatically.
7. Buttons
= Inclination Setting
= On/Off Button
= Setting Inclination on Zero
= Direction Setting
After pressing the two arrow buttons the device is automatically centred in
middle position.
= Direction Centering
In addition to the respective arrow buttons also press the On/Off button.
= Button Lock
Press the button ,2 x: Lock symbol select and confirm. The buttons are protected
against accidential adjustment. Press the Menu button 2 x again, the lock is lifted.
= Changing the Factory Defaults
Keep the button pressed until the adjustment menu is shown.
Quick Setting
The device is switched on by pressing this button.
The device and company data are then shown, followed by the operating display
with the last settings without button lock. The device is then levelled and referenced
on the zero point automatically. After the levelling phase the laser beam and laser
beam symbol stop blinking. If this does not happen, the device must be moved into
the levelling range by tilting it forwards. The display illumination switches off after
approx. 30 seconds automatically. The illumination is switched on again by pressing
the On/Off button shortly.To switch off the device, press the On/Off button until “Auf
Wiedersehen !” appears.

The selected letter begins to blink.
8. Automatic Laser Cut-Out
Is is active, as soon as a T appears in the status display. This means the laser is
switched off automatically as a precautionary measure in the event of a jerky
movement (bump). The T then begins to blink. The laser must be switched on
again and the positioning checked and corrected if necessary.
9. Monitoring of Self-Levelling
The self-levelling function corrects even the smallest deviation. At a deviation of
approx. 0.01 % the laser beam and laser beam symbol begin to blink. Depending
on the setting, blinking can start earlier at approx. 0.005 % or later at approx.
0.015 %.
12. Infrared Remote Control
for direction setting and laser switch on/off. Additionally the flicker mode can be
switched on/off by the On/Off button.
13. Calculating the Percentage
If the percentage value that is to be set is not known, it can be calculated as
follows:
Example: Height difference between 2 points = 0.2 m
Length between 2 points = 50 m
Height difference x 100 0.2 x 100
---------------------------------- = -------------- = 0.4 %
Length 50
Convert % in ‰ - move the decimal point one place to the right.
Convert ‰ in % - move the decimal point one place to the left.
= Change Settings
= Back to Operating Display
10. Banking Compensation
The height deviation caused by a banking compensation is levelled automatically.
Arrows indicate the banking. When the banking increases, the arrows become
larger. When the arrows start blinking, the final position is reached. Turn the laser
in the direction of arrow as far as the arrows are no longer seen.
11. Flicker Mode
Flickering makes the laser beam significantly easier to see in unfavourable light
conditions.
1. Safety Instructions
• Pay attention to the accident prevention regulations.
• Do not set up the laser at eye level.
• Do not look into the beam.
• Do not remove the warning signs on the laser.
• Check the laser before every use (control measurement). The
manufacturer and its dealers accept no liability for damage caused by faults
and consequential damages.
• Only use the battery charger in dry rooms.
• Do not open the laser yourself. Note: The laser power values in the device
are far higher than prescribed for laser class 2 or 3 R.
• Repairs requiring the device to be opened may only be carried out by
authorized persons.
The GEO pipe laser emits an
automatically levelled or defined
inclined laser beam as reference axis.
It was specially designed for pipe
laying, but can also be used for a
variety of other purposes.
It can be set up centrically or at a
constant distance above the pipe
invert. Suitable legs, tripods and
fastening systems are available for
this.
2. Description
2.1 LCD Display
3. Pipe Laying made easy
Mount device over the point of reference in such a way that the banking arrows are
no longer seen. Adjust the inclination and align the laser beam to the point of aim.
After that join pipe after pipe and align each end to the target.
4. Set-up
The laser can be set up centrically or at a constant distance above the pipe
invert. Suitable legs, tripods and fastening systems are available for this.
Note: If the diameter indicated on the feet does not correspond with the
pipe diameter, the target has to be set up directly in front of the laser
and must be adjusted to the correct height ignoring the diameter
marking.
!
Sliding foot
Pressing the arrow buttons changes the inclination value by 0.001 %. The value is
changed with increasing speed if the button is kept pressed.
The inclination value is set on 0.000 % by pressing the two arrow buttons at the
same time.
