X'
Y'
Check and calibrate in this order:
Check both sides of X axis.
• If X is within spec, proceed to check both sides of Y.
• If X needs calibration, calibrate X
Check both sides of Y axis.
• If Y is within spec, proceed to final X to Y check
• If Y needs calibration, calibrate Y; proceed to X to Y check
Final X to Y check: compare X, X', Y, Y'
Check Z and calibrate if necessary.
4.1 Calibration overview
Calibration is electronic, using the TL25 remote control or the
detector. The keypad of the laser may also be used, but it will
take longer due to the laser making self-adjustments during
movement.
If the beam is visible, calibrate using the non-rotating point. If
it's too bright to see the beam, you'll use the detector and will
need to have the beam rotating. When you're in calibration
mode, press the scan key on the detector to rotate the beam.

The axis LED should blink slowly when in calibration mode.
When the laser is self-leveling or making an adjustment, the LED
will blink rapidly.
IMPORTANT:
When pressing an arrow key to move the beam for calibration,
use short, rapid clicks. Do not hold the key down. One click will
move the beam a very small amount (1/32" at 150' or 1mm at
100 meters). After pressing the key, the LED will blink rapidly as the
laser reacts. Wait until the LED returns to a slow blink to proceed.
4.2 Checking X axis
1. Place the laser on a flat surface or tripod 100 ft. (30 m)
away from a wall. Position so that X' (noted on top of laser) is
facing the wall.
2. Turn on the laser.
3. Mark the location of the center of the beam. If it's too bright
to see the beam, use a detector, or put in scan mode.
4. Rotate the laser 180 degrees so that X faces the wall.
5. Mark the location of the center of the beam near the first
mark so that both marks are in line, one above the other.
6. At 100 ft., the marks should be no more than 1/4" apart (at
30m, no more than 6 mm apart). This is within the stated accu-
racy of ± 1/8" at 100 ft. (± 0.010%).
7. If the marks are close enough, X axis is within calibration.
The second axis (Y) must then be checked (see later section).
If the marks are not close enough, the X axis needs to be cali-
brated.
