Controls:
Power ON/OFF is via the red button. The laser takes approx. 15 to 25 seconds
to auto level, then the prism head rotates & projects a visible red laser beam.
The rotational speed is variable in 4 increments. Adjust head speed using the
top right hand button & when pressed, it stops the red dot then increases the
head's rotational speed in 4 steps up to a maximum speed of 1,000rpm.
For Interior work, we suggest using slower speeds, where the laser beam is
easier to see by eye; but for Exterior Groundworks – run the FRE-102AR at its
maximum speed of 1,000rpm, which gives the best working range when used
with the supplied Laser Detector. Even with its bright red beam, the detector
will still be required for most outdoor work.
SCAN function - for Interior setting-out:
The top button on the left of the keypad is the Scan function. The User can
set a static dot, 10, 45, 90, 180 degree lines as required & use the two
buttons beneath (marked with rotational arrows) to move these lines around
the room.
AS THIS LASER AUTO LEVELS BOTH HORIZONTALLY & VERTICALLY,
all the control settings above operate in either mode.
(Vertical leveling, with the laser positioned on its side, is often refered to as
"
Laydown
";
where the User can project vertical laser lines or for setting-out:
Site SQUARING (90 deg).
Grading:
This is a
DUAL GRADE
facility laser level. This means that the FRE-102AR
can be switched to "Manual" to over-ride the level sensors (via the auto/man
button) and then the User can set a grade (incline/slope) in the X axis only, Y
axis only or both together. The max. settable slope is an approx. fall of 1m
over 10m.
For X & Y alignment, please see the case markings on the TOP of the laser
body, where an arrow points in the direction of the axis being set.
Setting a single axis slope
-
This sets a grade in the X axis.
Procedure – switch ON; the FRE-102AR then auto levels. Press the
"auto/man" button on laser's keypad (bottom left hand side) & the green "X"
