1. Overall Instrument Assembly

40-6515 rotating laser is a highly accurate instrument. Out side of a few customer
adjustments (outline in the owners manual), all adjustments/service operations
are internal to the instrument and to be perform only by authorized service
personnel. Authorized personnel should adhere to the guidelines described
within this service manual for all repairs and/or service work.

2.0 Calibration
2.1. Reference setting Vertical line

Wall

Horizontal reference line

Platform

Figure 24
(1) As shown in figure 24, set up a platform 10m away from a wall. The platform should be stable and flat, and level
within 6’.
(2) Using a water lever to mark a horizontal reference line, and also draw a vertical line on the wall. Then take their
cross point on the wall as point O.

2.2 Accuracy check

(1) As shown in figure 24, make one side with X direction marked on the top cover of the instrument face to the wall.
Power on and take the cross point of rotating laser line and the vertical line on the wall as point A.
(2) Turn the unit 180 degree, i.e. make X-direction face to the wall. Take the cross point of rotating laser line and the
vertical line on the wall as point B.
(3) Make the Y direction of the instrument face to the wall, and take the cross point of rotating laser line and the
vertical line on the wall as point C.
(4) Turn the unit 180 degree again, i.e. make the Y direction face to the wall. Take the cross point of the rotating
laser line and the vertical line on the wall as point D.
(5) Measure the vertical distance between point O and one point among points A, B, C, D. If the vertical distance is
more than 3mm, it means the accuracy is beyond tolerance and it needs to make some adjustment.

2.3 Accuracy adjustment

 Horizontal accuracy adjustment
(1) Place the instrument on the platform, and the distance between the platform and ceiling should not be less than
2m. Power on and adjust the rotating speed of the instrument to the lowest. The adjusting method is as follows:
Press key repeatedly until the L indicator on the keypad light.

Observe if the plumb-up point is shaking obviously. If it is shaking obviously, it needs to make some adjustment to the adjustment
screw until it is nearly stable, as shown in figure 26. (Note: After adjustment, all the screws should be screwed tightly)

(2) As shown in figure 27, take the middle point between point A and point B as point F, and the middle point
between point C and point D as point G. Then adjust the cross point of rotating laser line and vertical line to point F
and point G with the adjustment screw (The instrument is provided with 4 adjustment screws in total, as shown in
figure 28, and they could be adjusted a Flat blade screwdriver and the inner hexagon spanner)

(3) If point F and point G are within 3mm range above or below the point O, it means the accuracy is qualified.
Otherwise, it needs to adjust the optical wedge in the rotator head until the cross point of rotating laser line and the
vertical line is within 3mm range above or below the point O, as shown in figure 29.

As shown in figure 30, after mounting the accessories, place the instrument on the platform laterally to make the
instrument under vertical-working state. Power on, measure the height H2 of the laser horizontal line with the
light-adjacence ruler, and mark point E on the wall under point O (The distance between point E and point O is
h=H1-H2). After leveling the bubble vial, if the point projected by the horizontal laser
line on the wall is not within 3mm range above or below the point E, please make
some adjustment according to the adjusting method as shown in figure 31, i.e. adjust
the point projected by the horizontal laser line on the wall to point E, using a Phillips
screwdriver to screw off the plastic screw, and then using a inner hexagon spanner to
adjust the screw in the adjustment hole until the bubble vial is level.
