1. The remote control VF 80 can be connected for operation if wanted see 19 13 Buttons The device is switched on by pressing this button Note Ifthe laser is to be used with direction locking the device must be connected to the locking receiver and remote control before being swiched on The device and company data are then shown followed by the operating display with the last settings without button lock The device is then levelled and referenced on the zero point automatically After the levelling phase the laser beam and laser beam symbol stop blinking If this does not happen the device must be moved into the levelling range by tilting it forwards To switch off the device press the On Off button until Auf Wiedersehen appears Note 13 1 On Off Button 13 2 Inclination Setting The gradient inclination is shown in or o notin degrees orgon Pressing the arrow button changes the inclination value by 0 001 The value is changed with increasing speed if the button is kept pressed B The inclination value is set on 0 000 by pressing the two arrow buttons at the same time After setting one of the two arrow buttons the laser beam symbol changes to an arrow It indicates the direction of movement and the current position When end position is reached the laser beam and limitation symbol begin to blink The setting must then be moved back within 2 5 minutes If this is not done the laser is switched off aut2. warning x 15 Locking Beam Height Adjustment 0 00000 cee eee eevee 5 system for levelling direction locking low battery and 5 Power Supply MEE i end positions as well as a shift guard for the inclination 4 12 V DC 0 4A 16 Switching the Locking Laser Beam On Off 04 5 and RAE E g 6 A 17 Receiver Status Symbols in LCD Display nananana aaaea 5 The values that have been set remain stored in the laser gt m s M 6 Receiver Remote Control Connector 18 Remote Control Status Symbols in LCD Display 5 even after switching off or in the case of alow battery The name of the owner can be saved in the device to 7 Box Level 19 VF 80 Drifting Laser Remote Control anaana aa 5 protect against theft a Set up aid for viewing from above 20 Locking Receiver FE 80 0 ccccececcceeeeseuseueeeeees 6 The VL 70 differs from the VL 80 in that it does not have a direction locking feature 21 Automatic Laser Cut Out 0 0 0 0 00 cc ees 7 8 Keyboard 22 Monitoring of Self Levelling 0 0 0 0 ccc ee nes 7 Clear layout big user friendly self explanatory keys 23 Flicker Mode nn nanaonan aaee 7 2 Parallel Height Adjustment y 24 Power Supply sicrrrisisiir uutta hee soe 5 eee o enue kentn 7 9 LCD Display 25 Setting the Inclination 7 2 1 Tightening Screw Clearly legible illuminated display for on off l S fe eee Note Loosen before height adjust
3. 21 Automatic Laser Cut Out The kick guard can be activated if wanted via the menu It is active assoonasa T appears in the status display This means the laser is switched off automatically as a precautionary measure in the event of a jerky movement bump The T then begins to blink The laser beam must then be switched on again by briefly pressing the On button and the positioning checked and corrected if necessary 22 Monitoring of Self Levelling The self levelling function corrects even the smallest deviation At a deviation of approx 0 01 the laser beam and laser beam symbol begin to blink Depending on the setting blinking can start earlier at approx 0 005 or later at approx 0 015 23 Flicker Mode Flickering makes the laser beam significantly easier to see in unfavourable light conditions 24 Power Supply 220 V Operation Connect the drifting laser to the power supply type NE 12 2A Note The laser may not be connected directly to the battery of a running engine or to a charging device Also make sure that the housing of the laser does not come into direct contact with the poles of the battery or with the body work of a motor vehicle In the case of welding work care must be taken to ensure that the current cannot flow through the laser Disconnect all cable connections to the laser 12 V Operation Connect the laser to a 12 V rechargeable battery or energy box type EB 12 24 48 01 with the battery connector 4
4. 7 00 Make sure that the red terminal is connected to the plus pole and the black terminal to the minus pole Incorrect polarity will not damage the laser but the laser will not work 25 Setting the Inclination The laser beam is set at a defined inclination with the arrow up down buttons Note The gradient inclination is shown in not in degrees or gon The defined inclined directional beam refers to the automatic levelling of the laser 26 Calculating the Percentage If the percentage value that is to be set is not known it can be calculated as follows Example Height difference between 2 points 0 2 m Length between 2 points 50m Height difference x 100 _ 0 2x100 _ 0 4 Length 50 Convert to o move the decimal point one place to the right Convert o to move the decimal point one place to the left 27 Setting the Direction When the inclination has been set align the laser roughly on the target point with the mounting device and then finely with the buttons The direction can also be set with the remote control VF 80 To avoid unwanted adjustment the lock and respective arrow button must be pressed simultane ously to set the direction 28 Automatic Direction Adjustment Locking 1 Install the drifting laser VL 80 in standing or suspended position using the positioning device Level the box level see 7 2 Connect the power supply to the laser and remote control 3 Centre the device on middle pos
