6. Operation
6.1 Turning the device on/o
On:
• Press «ON/OFF» button.
O:
• Hold the «ON/OFF» button down for 3 seconds
(the hand-held receiver will turn itself o
automatically aer 7 minutes if it is not
actively being used).
• Turn the front face of the receiver towards
the laser device and ensure that the receiver
window is vertical to the line plane.
• Move the receiver up and down until a signal
sounds and/or until direction arrows become
visible on the display.
If the marking point on the receiver is above
the laser beam, a fast, pulsing signal sound
is audible and an arrow pointing downwards
appears on the display.
• Move the receiver downwards in the direction
of the arrow shown on the display.
If the marking point on the receiver is below
the laser beam, a slow, pulsing signal sound is
audible and an arrow pointing upwards appears
on the display.
• Move the receiver upwards in the direction of
the arrow shown on the display.
If an unbroken signal sound is audible and/or if
only the central bar is still visible, the marking
point is exactly on the laser beam.
• Mark the height of the laser beam on the
marking points using a pen. e spirit level vial
can be used to align the receiver vertically in
order to ensure that the marking points on the
le and right sides are at the same height.
6.2 Accuracy
e RECG hand-held receiver has two levels of
accuracy. e „Fine“ level with an accuracy of
0.5 mm and the „Rough“ level with an accuracy
of 2.0 mm.
• Turn the RECG hand-held receiver on.
• Press the «ACC» button to switch between the
two levels of accuracy.
6.3 Signal sound
e signal sound on the RECG hand-held receiver
can be adjusted. ere are three levels.

level of accuracy or 2.0 mm in the „Rough“ level
of accuracy.
If the result is more than 0.5 mm or 2.0 mm, the
device must be readjusted. Please contact your
dealer.
7. Testing the accuracy of the device
Test the accuracy of the RECG hand-held receiver
before carrying out every measurement.
• Before starting the test, allow the device to
acclimatise to the environmental conditions.
1. Place line laser on a stable surface, e.g. tripod,
adjust this and turn it on (pulse mode).
2. Turn the front face of the receiver towards the
laser device and ensure that the receiver window
is vertical to the line plane.
• Move the receiver up and down until a signal
sounds and/or until direction arrows become
visible on the display.
• Align the receiver to the marking point (if an
unbroken signal sound is audible and/or if only
the central bar is still visible, the marking
• point is exactly on the laser beam).
• Mark height of the laser beam using a pen
at the marking points.
3. Turn the receiver 180° and ensure that the
receiver window is vertical to the line plane.
• Move the receiver up and down until a signal
sounds and/or until direction arrows become
visible on the display.
• Align the receiver to the marking point (if an
unbroken signal sound is audible and/or if only
the central bar is still visible, the marking point
is exactly on the laser beam).
• Mark height of the laser beam using a pen
at the marking points.
e vertical distance ‚d‘ between marking points
