OPERATION
Powering on

the instrument will power on and begin
automatically self-levelling. When this
levelling process is complete, the penta
prism inside the lighthouse will start rotating.

range the instrument will not level causing the
laser beam to flash continuously. If this occurs,
reposition the instrument onto a level surface
until the instrument can level off.

Once the instrument has been levelled off the
tilt alarm can be enabled by pressing the tilt
alarm button. The tilt alarm indicator light will
flash continuously whilst active.
•
If the instrument is disturbed while the alarm
is active the instrument will stop rotating and
will need to be powered off and on again to
reset its level position.
