2.5 Intended use
The TUBUS 2 pipe laser is suitable for measuring tilts and alignments in pipes
and sewers. The unit is submersible (IP68). The unit can be operated with a
radio remote control or alternatively via infrared.
2.6 Transport and storage
The laser is a sensitive, high-precision instrument and must be handled with
appropriate care. Always transport and store the laser and the accessories in

3.2 How it works TUBUS 2
The TUBUS 2 pipe laser emits a laser beam, which can be tilted within a
range from -15% to +40%. It can also be swung to the side by +/-10° for
precise alignment of the beam onto a target board. The TUBUS 2 pipe laser is
equipped with a self-levelling feature and levels out tilted positioning of the
unit within a range of -15% to +40%.
3 Description of the TUBUS 2
3.1 General product description
The TUBUS 2 is a fully automatic laser, which has been developed for use in
pipe and sewer constructions. The TUBUS 2 can be used to survey or meas-
ure and lay pipe systems quickly and easily. The innovative shock protection
system and the robust, water and dust protected housing protect the laser.
The laser can also be monitored and controlled from a distance using the
remote control with integrated display. A Li-ion rechargeable battery in the
laser and the remote control ensures a long operating time.
