Vertical Rotation Operation 

(refer to diagram page 4)

The EGL624 can be used on its side for vertical alignment or together with 

the dot laser out of the front to produce a 90 degree square for site layout.  

The EGL624 can be placed on its side with the datum marker open or closed 

and roughly levelled using the adjustment feet and bubble vial in the handle, 

this brings the laser into self levelling range where the electronics take over.

Note in vertical rotation mode features such as “TILT”, “V-W-S” and “Scan” 

can still be used the same as when in normal horizontal rotation mode.

When on its side press Slope button        the “X” LED will light and the Slope/ 

Manual direction buttons              on remote can be used to shift the dot/

rotating line to the left or right.  This is ideal for site layout squaring;

• 

Place datum marker over the datum point marking the conjunction of 

the 90 degree lines.

• 

Roughly align laser housing so dot is striking target point along the one 

line of the 90 degrees, then use the direction buttons to electronically 

fine tune this alignment.

• 

Once the dot is on the target use the receiver to pick up the rotating line 

on the second line of the 90 degree.  Your square is now set.

Rotation Scan Modes - For Indoor Visibility

The Scan Mode stops the laser from rotating and toggles the beam left to 

right, intensifying the beam making the laser more usable indoors as a visible 

laser. You can set the scan angle to 180

o

, 90

o

, 45

o

 and 10

o

 and shift the beam 

both left and right. The Scan Mode can be operated by both the Control key 

pad on the laser and also the Remote Control.

• 

Press the Scan button         to enter scan mode.

• 

The first press, area scan 180 °, second press 90°, third press 45°, 

fourth press 10°, fifth press 180° etc….

• 

Rotate  the  scan  line  left  or  right  by  pressing  Scan  Shift                              buttons                           

as indicated by direction arrow on button.

• 

Press and hold Scan Shift button to rotate the scan line quickly.

• 

To return to rotation mode press the Rotate button       .
