6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Working in Automatic mode (self-leveling):
In automatic mode the laser level will level itself in a ± 2.5° range and will project 1 horizontal 360° or/and
2 vertical 360° green beams.
1. Remove the laser level from the case and place it on a solid, flat, vibration free surface or on a tripod.
2. Push the locking switch #1 to the ON position. The laser level will project a 360° horizontal beam. The
beam indicator (b) will turn on.
3. Press the beam selector button (a) - it will turn on a 360° vertical side beam instead of the horizontal beam.
4. An additional click on the beam selector button will turn on a 360° vertical front beam in addition to the
side vertical beam.
5. One more click on the beam selector button (a) will switch on the horizontal beam in addition to the
vertical beams.
6. An additional click on the beam selector button (a) will switch off the two vertical beams.
7. If the initial inclination of the laser level is beyond ± 2.5° and the automatic mode is activated, the laser
beams will flash. In this case reposition the laser level on a more level surface.
8. Before moving the laser level turn the locking switch #1 to the OFF position, this will lock the pendulum
and protect your laser level.
Working in Manual mode:
In Manual mode the 883G self-leveling mechanism is disabled and the laser beams can be set at any slope
required.
1. Verify that the locking switch #1 is on the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the Manual mode button (a) for 3 seconds, to activate the manual mode. The laser level
will project a 360° horizontal beam that will flash every 3 sec. to let you know that the beam is not leveled.
The beam indicator (b) will turn on.
3. To mark a slope, tilt the laser to the desired angle.
4. To choose another beam, briefly press the beam selector button (a) - it will turn on a 360° vertical side
beam instead of the horizontal beam.
5. An additional click on the beam selector button (a) will add a 360° forward vertical flashing beam.
6. One more click on the beam selector button (a) will switch on the horizontal beam in addition to the
vertical beams.
7. Next click on the beam selector button (a) will switch OFF all the beams and the beam indicator (b) will
turn off.
8. While in Manual mode, turning the locking switch #1 from OFF to ON will turn off the Manual mode. The
automatic self – leveling mode will be activated (if the laser level is within the self – leveling range).
Working in Pulse mode with a detector:
For outdoor work under direct sunlight or bright conditions, and for extended indoor ranges up to 70 meters,
use the pulse mode with a Detector. When the pulse mode is activated the laser beams will flash at a very
high frequency (invisible to the human eye). This will allow the detector to detect the laser beams.
1. The pulse mode can be activated both in Automatic and in Manual mode.
2. Turn on the laser level (to the required mode).
3. Press the Pulse mode button (c) to activate it. The Pulse mode indicator (d) will turn on. Visually, the
intensity of the beam will be a bit reduced.
4. Turn on the detector and search for laser beam.
5. You can choose a different beam, by pressing on the beam selector button (a), while you are in Pulse Mode.
6. To switch the Pulse Mode off, press the Pulse mode button (c) and the Pulse mode indicator (d) will turn off.
7. MAINTENANCE
To maintain the accuracy of your project, check the accuracy of your laser level according to the field
calibration tests procedures.
• Change the battery when the laser beams begins to dim.
• Wipe the aperture lens and the body of the laser level with a clean soft cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Although the laser level is dust and dirt resistant to a certain degree, don’t store in dusty places as long
term exposure may damage internal moving parts.
• If the laser level is exposed to water, dry the laser level before returning it to the carrying case to prevent
corrosion damage.
• Remove the battery if the laser level is unused for a long period of time to prevent corrosion damage.
8. FIELD CALIBRATION TEST
This laser level left the factory fully calibrated. Kapro recommends the user check the accuracy of the laser
periodically, especially if the unit falls or is mishandled.
1. Check the height accuracy of the cross created by the lateral (#5) and the horizontal lines.
2. Check the height accuracy of the cross created by the longitudinal (#4) and the horizontal lines.
