Overview
Overview
The Leica Lino P5 is a self-levelling mul-
tifunctional point laser. It is a reliable precision
laser for any kind of tasks like levelling, plumbing,
transfering and setting out right angles.
It supports you on job side with vertical and hori-
zontal five points (four points and one point in
front of the device) which are arranged precisely
in 90° to each other.

Introduction
The safety instructions (see Safety Instruc-
tions) and the user manual should be read
through carefully before the product is used
for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must
ensure that all users understand these dir-

The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unintended use which, if not avoided, may result
in minor injury and/or appreciable material, fin-
ancial and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be
adhered to in practice as they enable the
product to be used in a technically correct
and efficient manner.
Levelling lock
Levelling unlocked
In the unlocked position the instrument auto-
matically levels itself within the specified
inclination range. (See Technical data)
Levelling locked
Turn the levelling lock in order to transport or tilt
the instrument beyond the self-levelling range.
When locked, the pendulum is fixed and the self-
levelling function is deactivated. In this case the
laser blinks every 5sec.

Instrument Set-up
Li-Ion battery (optional)
Charge Li-Ion battery
Charge the Li-Ion battery before using it for the
first time. While charging, the instrument may
heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
instrument´s lifespan or performance. At the
recommended storage temperature of -20°C to
+30°C (-4°F to +86°F), batteries containing a
50% to 100% charge can be stored up to 1 year.
After this storage period the batteries must be
recharged.
CAUTION
Connecting the charger using the wrong adapter
may cause serious damage to the instrument.
Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by
warranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, bat-
teries and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or dam-
age the instrument.
Insert Li-Ion battery
Insert the battery-pack by pressing it down and
then tilting it towards the housing as shown until it
snaps in.

by the 3rd number in the 10-digit serial number
on the type label of the Li-Ion battery.
Number 0, 1 or 2:
lights green: charging battery
OFF: charging finished / no charging
Number 3 or higher:
blinks green: charging battery

Accuracy Check
AccuracyCheck
Check the accuracy of your instrument reg-
ularly and particularly before important
measuring tasks. Check Levelling lock
before checking the accuracy.
Levelling
Checking the accuracy of the levelling
Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between
two walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart. Place
the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see
Levelling lock). Direct the instrument at wall A
and switch on the instrument. Activate the hori-
zontal laser line or laser point and mark the pos-
ition of the line or the point on wall (A1). Rotate
the instrument by 180° and mark the horizontal
laser line or the laser point in exactly the same
way on wall (B1).
Then place the instrument at the same elevation
as close as possible to wall A and again mark the
horizontal laser line or the laser point on wall A
(A2). Rotate the instrument by 180° again and
mark the laser on wall B (B2). Measure the dis-
tances of the marked points A1-A2 and B1-B2.
Calculate the difference of the two meas-
urements.
|(A1 - A2) - (B1 - B2)| <=2 mm
If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the
instrument is within tolerance.
Should your instrument be outside of the
specified tolerance, please contact a local
dealer or an authorised Leica Geosystems
distributor.

Accuracy Check
Vertical plumb points
Checking the accuracy of the upper plumb
point:
Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position
(see Levelling lock). Set up the laser on its tripod
to wall mount bracket near point A1 at a minimum
distance of 1.5 m from point B1. The horizontal
laser is aligned in direction 1. Mark the laser
points A1 and B1 with a pin.
Checking the accuracy of the lower plumb
point:
Rotate the instrument by 180° so that it points in
the opposite direction 2 to direction 1. Adjust the
instrument so that the laser beam hits point A1
exactly. If point B2 is no further than 2 mm away
from point B1, then the instrument is within tol-
erance.
Should your instrument be outside of the
specified tolerance, please contact a local
dealer or an authorised Leica Geosystems
distributor.
Leica Lino P5 14

Accuracy Check
Perpendicularity horizontal points
Place lock switch in "Unlocked" position (see Lev-
elling lock). Mark a reference point (P1) approx.
5m from the walls and position the lower plumb
point exactly on it. Align the cross hair to the left
wall and mark the intersection point (a1) approx.
on the same hight like P1 to the wall. Shortly after
mark the right-hand perpendicular beam (b1) on
the front wall.
Then rotate the device exactly 90° clockwise
around the plumb point P1 and position the left-
hand perpendicular beam to the existing ref-
erence point a1. Make sure that the upper plumb
point is still exactly on the reference P1. Check
afterwards the new reference point b2 with the
old reference b1 on the front wall. The deviation
between the two points may be max. 3mm. Mark
the new position of the right-hand perpendicular
beam to the right wall with c1.
Afterwards turn the device exactly 180° around
the plumb point P1 and position the right-hand
perpendicular beam to the existing reference
point a1. Make sure that the upper plumb point is
still exactly on the reference P1. Then mark the
left-hand beam to the right wall and mark it with
c2. Finally measure the difference between the
former reference point c1 and the new point c2.
The deviation may be max. 3mm between these
two points.
Should your instrument be outside of the
specified tolerance, please contact a local
dealer or an authorised Leica Geosystems
distributor.
