OPERATION
Powering on
▪ Press the power button once and the
instrument will power on and begin
automatically self-levelling. When this
levelling process is complete, the penta
prism inside the lighthouse will start rotating.

range the instrument will not level causing
the laser beam to flash continuously. If this
occurs, reposition the instrument onto a level
surface until the instrument can level off.
Powering off
▪Press the power button once and the
instrument will power off.
Speed control
▪Press the speed control button to cycle
through various rotational speeds.
▪The speed control indicator will flash
slowly when speed is slow and fast when
speed is increased.
Scanning mode
▪To focus the laser beam between two
points press the scanning mode button.
Pressing the button multiple times will
adjust the angle of the beam.
▪To cancel scan mode press the scanning
mode button several times to cycle through
to full rotation.

OPERATION (continued)
Setting up a grade / slope
▪ To create a slope / grade, enter into manual
mode by pressing the manual / automatic
mode button on either the instrument or
