WARNING: The conditions of the area are indicative of the results presented.
If the practice differs from these conditions, the measurements have to be
adjusted accordingly.
Checking Accuracy – Horizontal Beam, Scan Direction (Fig. F)
Checking the horizontal scan calibration of the laser requires two walls at least 30' (9 m)
apart. It is important to conduct a calibration check using a distance no shorter than the
distance of the applications for which the tool will be used.
1. Attach the laser to a wall using its pivot bracket. Make sure the laser is facing
straight ahead.
2. Turn on the laser's horizontal beam and pivot the laser approximately 45˚ so that the
right-most end of the laser line is striking the opposing wall at a distance of at least 30'
(9 m). Mark the center of the beam (a).
3. Pivot the laser approximately 90˚ to bring the left-most end of the laser line around to
the mark made in Step 2. Mark the center of the beam (b).
4. Measure the vertical distance between the marks.
• If the measurement is greater than the values shown below, the laser must be serviced
at an authorized service center.
Checking Accuracy – Horizontal Beam, Pitch Direction (Fig. G)
Checking the horizontal pitch calibration of the laser requires a single wall at least 30' (9
m) long. It is important to conduct a calibration check using a distance no shorter than the
distance of the applications for which the tool will be used.
1. Attach the laser to one end of a wall using its pivot bracket.
2. Turn on the laser's horizontal beam and pivot the laser toward the opposite end of the
wall and approximately parallel to the adjacent wall.
