LR600
Lufkin LR600
The LR600 is a professional instrument with an extremely rugged design, enabling precision
automatic levelling. Self-levelling range ± 5° horizontal, accuracy 1 mm / 10 m, temperature-
resistant sensor system (SLS). Highest reliability is guaranteed through the anti-drift system
(ADS): The electronics permanently monitor the measuring process and switch the laser off in
the case of any outside interference or disturbance. Adjustable horizontal tilt, easy one-button
operation. Includes LRD120 laser detector and remote control unit.
General safety instructions
Caution: Do not look directly into the beam.
Lasers must be kept out of reach of children.
Never intentionally aim the device at people. This
is a quality laser measuring device and is 100%
factory adjusted within the stated tolerance. For
reasons of product liability, we must also draw
your attention to the following: Regularly check the calibration before use, after transport and
after extended periods of storage. We also wish to point out that absolute calibration is only
possible in a specialist workshop. Calibration by yourself is only approximate and the accuracy
of the calibration will depend on the care with which you proceed.

2. Hold down the safety mode button and briefly press on/off button
. Keep holding the safety mode button down until the LED’s on the
control panel flash 2 times. (Approximately 10 seconds).
3. Calibration adjustments are all made using the calibration panel on the
remote control.
X Axis Adjustment
1. Turn the LR600 so that the X axis faces a wall or post (reference surface).
2. Activate calibration adjustment mode as described above.
3. Press the X / Y button on the remote control twice. The X
LED on the calibrate panel will illuminate as shown on the
right. The laser head will start rotating and the X axis can
now be adjusted.
4. Adjust the position of the beam using up down buttons on
the remote control until the desired position is achieved.
5. To save the new setting press ENT button on the remote control. The X axis LED will now
turn off.
Y Axis Adjustment
1. Turn the LR600 so that the Y axis faces a wall or post (reference surface).
2. Activate calibration adjustment mode as described above.
3. Press the X / Y button on the remote control 3 times. The Y
LED on the calibrate panel will illuminate as shown on the
right. The laser head will start rotating and the Y axis can
now be adjusted.
4. Adjust the position of the beam using up down buttons on
the remote control until the desired position is achieved.
5. To save the new setting press ENT button on the remote control. The Y axis LED will now
turn off.
Note: When either the X or Y axis has been adjusted, perform a full calibration check as
adjustment of 1 axis can sometimes affect the other axis.
