23EN Operating Instructions
6 Starting up the laser
6.1 Install or s et up laser for use
The laser can be installed or set up in a horizontal depending on the use
situation.
Horizontal on tripod Set up horizontally
Set laser to working height HORIZONTAL laser projection
Use integrated spirit level to align laser
CAUTION!
Unevenness, soft surfaces and vibrations impair the stability of the laser or tripod.
fWhen installing/setting up the laser, ensure it has a safe, firm foothold.
NOTE
The cap with the axis markings is pushed
on. If the cap has been removed, it must be
pushed on as shown to the right, with the X
and Y axes pointing in the right direction.
7 Switch on the laser
AUTOMATIC operating mode is the default setting each time the laser is swit-
ched on.
NOTE
Despite careful setting up, warnings and error messages can appear in the display in
AUTOMATIC operating mode due to external influences and strong vibrations. For
description and remedies, see Chapter 9.

24 EN Operating Instructions
7.1 AUTOMATIC operating mode
In AUTOMATIC operating mode, the laser automatically levels itself horizon-
tally within a range of ±5° and compensates for minor vibrations.
Switch on the laser Laser levels itself
horizontally
Levelling is finished, the flashing symbol goes
out, the laser is active
During and for 30 seconds after the levelling the laser can be placed in the fi-
nal vertical position/height without warning, e.g. using an elevator tripod.
After 30 seconds, the TILT alarm function is switched on. A vertical move-
ment of the laser triggers the warning C01. For description and remedies, see
Chapter 9.
AUTOMATIC operating mode is active. The following functions can be
invoked:
Use the button to switch to MANUAL operating mode (Chapter 7.2).
Use the button to exit the operating mode, switch off the laser.
7.2 MANUAL operating mode
In MANUAL operating mode the laser does not detect any vibrations and
does not level itself horizontally.
AUTOMATIC opera-
ting mode is active
Set MANUAL opera-
ting mode
The hand symbol is
displayed
NOTE
Use the button to switch to MANUAL operating mode immediately after switching
on .
MANUAL operating mode is active. The following functions can be invoked:
Use the button to switch to AUTOMATIC operating mode (Chapter 7.1).
Use the button to exit the operating mode, switch off the laser.

25EN Operating Instructions
8 Maintenance/Care
8.1 Maintenance
The PRIMUS 2 H laser is a robust, maintenance-free laser for professional use
indoors and outdoors.
If the laser no longer works due to an internal error or damage, send the laser
to the following address to be repaired:
NEDO GmbH & Co. KG
Service Department
Hochgerichtstraße 39 – 43
72280 Dornstetten
Germany
8.2 Care
The laser diode of the rotating laser is protected by glass covers. Use a soft
cloth to regularly clean the glass covers and ensure correct operation. Avoid
scratches in the glass covers.
Use standard cleaning agents to clean the dustproof and watertight, partly
rubberised housing. Use plenty of water to remove heavy soiling. Do not
immerse the laser in water.

26 EN Operating Instructions
8.3 Checking the horizontal accuracy
The accuracy of the laser should be checked regularly. This requires a free
measuring length of 30 m. Four measurements are taken in total in AUTOMA-
TIC mode (two measurements each in X/Y axis). The check is carried out in
two steps. The position of the laser beam is determined with the help of the
receiver.
Step 1 – X-axis
• Set up the laser along the X-axis
with a 30 m distance from the
wall.
• Mark the position of the laser
beam (A) on the wall.
30 m
A
X
Step 2 – X-axis
• Rotate the axis through 180°.
Attention:
The tripod may not be changed
– ideally you should use Nedo
Quickfix®!
• Mark position Bof the laser
beam and measure the verti-
cal distance Hbetween marking
Aand marking B. This can be
above or below marking A.
• The laser is within the tolerance if
H #3 mm!

NOTE
Steps 1 and 2 now have to be repeated as described for the Y-axis.
If the value of H is outside the tolerance, the Primus 2 must be adjusted by an autho-
rised customer service agent or by Nedo.
