High alert mode
Minor bumps or vibrations are automatically compensated for up to a certain
threshold. If there is a bump or vibration beyond the set threshold, the high alert
will engage. When engaged, the rotation will stop and the laser will not re-level,

the LED (4) flashes, alerting the user of a problem.
Note: with the high alert mode, bumps and vibrations that can cause misaligne-
ment of precise measurements will not go unnoticed.

To reset laser simply push button (3) to turn off laser, then push button (3) to turn
the laser back on. After the laser has re-leveled, check and re-align laser to desired
position.
Automatic level with automatic re-leveled
With many application conditions (e.g. on strong vibrations), it is useful for the
rotating laser unit to automatically re-level itself constantly. After turning laser on
with button (3), the laser can be put in automatic mode by pressing button (4).

Minor bumps and vibrations are compensated for. Large bumps and vibrations
will cause the laser to stop rotating and re-level automatically. When the laser
re-leveling is complete, the laser will rotate automatically.

Use as a Plumb-line Laser
The laser unit can be aligned on a cross hair layout on
ground using the 4 marks (9) on the base to transfer a
plumb point from the floor to the ceiling. The point
where the cross hair layout intersects corresponds to
the SP1 plumb dot.
A correct result can only be obtained in Automatic
mode with the unit set on a level surface!
Checking the calibration
The LAR-200 rotation laser has been designed for building site use and leaves our
factory perfectly calibrated. As with any precision instrument, however, its calibra-
tion must be regularly checked. The unit should be checked before starting any
new tasks, particularly when the unit has been exposed to strong vibrations. After
an impact, the unit should be checked throughout its whole self-levelling range.

Horizontal checking
1.
Set up the rotation laser on a smooth, level surface or on a tripod 25 ft or 50 ft /
5m or 10m from a wall with the front facing the wall.
2.
Switch the unit on (button 3) and wait for it to level automatically.
3.
Mark the position of the visible laser dot on the wall - Measurement 1 (Point 1).
Because the diameter of the beam depends on the distance, you must always
only use the center of the dot!
4.
Turn the complete unit 90° without altering the height of the laser (i.e. the tripod
must not be altered). Let the unit level automatically again.
5.
Mark the position of the visible laser dot on the wall (Point 2).
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to obtain Points 3 and 4.
7.
If the difference between the 4 control points is less than 1/16" at 25ft
(1mm at 5m) distance and 1/8" at 50ft (2 mm at 10m) distance the permissible
tolerance of ± 1/8" over 100ft (± 0.1 mm/m) is being maintained.
Points 1 and 3 on the unit's y-axis and points 2 and 4 on the unit's x-axis now
correspond.
