2. HOW TO USE THE RL510 LASER
2.1 Setup
The motorized wall mount can be removed from the laser if you wish to
work without this attachment.
•
Horizontal
The laser can be mounted on a 5/8 – 11 tripod (10) or placed directly on
a solid, stable surface. It can also be suspended from a ceiling grid using
the wall mount (see later section).
•
Vertical
The laser can be mounted on a 5/8 – 11 tripod (11) or placed directly
on its back (opposite the handle) on a solid, stable surface. For more
stability, we recommend you to use the motorized mount. Use the
support plate for stability when in vertical mode. When in vertical mode
without the motorized mount, adjust the feet screws for more stability.
The RL510 has a wide self-leveling range; however, if the laser is set up
out of the leveling range, the laser beam will continue to blink and
rotation will not start.
•
Turning on the laser
Turn on the laser with the On/Off key (17). It does a self-test and the
beam blinks while the laser is self-leveling. After it’s leveled, the head
rotates. You can choose Tilt (H.I. Alert) mode or change to manual mode
(see below).
2.2 Automatic / Manual Modes
The RL510 is in automatic self-leveling mode
when turned on. Once the instrument has
self-leveled, the laser head will start rotating.
In manual mode (19), the laser does not self-level: this means that the beam
will rotate even if the laser is not leveled. It can therefore be used on inclined
planes such as stairs, roofs, or when manual grade setting is required. See
later section on setting slope in manual or semi-automatic modes.
2.3 Tilt (H.I. Alert) Mode
The Tilt or H.I. (height of the instrument) Alert feature stops the laser
automatically and sounds an alarm if the laser is disturbed, preventing
inaccurate readings. It functions only when selected.
