With the Laser prism now spinning (like the wheel of a car), turn
the Detector onto it’s side (landscape mode) and face towards
the Laser. The up and down arrows used for horizontal
levelling will then become left and right arrows. The Detector
will accurately pinpoint the vertical datum and the arrows on
screen will indicate which direction to go. When in alignment it
will display a vertical black line. You can then walk up to 250m
forward of your position continually marking the datum. When this is complete, you will have marked out
the fi rst part of the 90° and you can now return to the laser to begin setting out the second part.
surface is an ideal target to “pick-up” the red dot at distance, even in bright sunlight. Hold the
end face of the target board down onto the ground, align the dot onto the black line and mark
the position accordingly at appropriate intervals.
This has set 90 degree squaring.
If you had
an aerial or top down view, you would see a perfectly set out “L” shape or corner without using a
Set Square or 3/4/5 Triangle calculation.
