Laser Control Panel Buttons (fi g. 1)
POWER BUTTON
To completely power the laser unit off, the power
button (e) on the control panel of the laser unit must
be pressed. The laser unit will also automatically
power off if it is left in Sleep Mode for 8 hours.
NOTE: Press the remote control power button to
put the laser unit into Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode
all laser unit functions shut off except for a periodic
blink from the power LED on the control panel of the
laser unit. Press the remote control power button
again to "wake up" the laser unit.
ARROW BUTTONS
The arrow buttons (h, i) are used for different
functions depending on the operating mode of the
laser unit.
In Self-Leveling Horizontal Mode:
The arrow buttons adjust the direction of the
laser beam in Scan Mode or Pointing Mode
(0 rpm).
In Self-Leveling Vertical Mode:
The arrow buttons move the laser beam left
and right.
In Manual Mode:
The arrow buttons are used to tilt the laser
head.
NOTE: Refer to Using the Wireless Remote
Control for a full description of Manual Mode.
SPEED/ROTATION BUTTON
The speed/rotation button (f) is used to adjust the
rotation speed of the laser beam through its 4 preset
speeds.
The head speed will cycle through 4 speeds, then
repeat the sequence as the speed/rotation button is
pressed.
REMEMBER:
Slow speed = Bright Beam
Fast Speed = Solid Beam
NOTE: The speed/rotation button performs the
same function as the speed/rotation button on the
remote control.
SCAN MODE BUTTON
The scan mode button (g) is used to make the laser
head sweep back and forth, creating a short, bright
laser line. This short line is much brighter and more
visible than when the unit is in full rotation mode.
Using Scan Mode:
To enter scan mode, push and release the
scan mode button. To exit scan mode, push
and release the button again.
The size and direction of the scan zone can
be controlled with the arrow buttons on the
laser unit control panel or the remote control.
For a more detailed explanation, refer to
Using the Wireless Remote Control.
The size and direction of the scan zone can
also be controlled manually with the User
Defined Scan Mode:
1. Set the laser unit at 0 rpm (pointer mode).
2. Manually rotate the laser head to position
the laser beam at one edge of the desired
scan zone.
3. Press and hold the scan mode button on
the laser unit control panel. While holding
down the scan button, manually rotate
the laser head to the opposite edge of
the desired scan zone.
4. Release the scan mode button.
5. The laser will scan between the two
selected points.
NOTE: If the scan button is pressed and held,
but the laser head is not manually rotated, after
four seconds the unit will enter Private Mode or
No Remote Mode as described below.
IMPORTANT: The remote control cannot be
used for User Defined Scan Mode.
PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND NO REMOTE MODES
The DW079 Rotary Laser and the remote control
each have the capability to operate in either Public
Mode or Private Mode. For the laser and the remote
control to work together, they must both be set to
the same mode. The laser unit can also be set to No
Remote Mode, which causes it to ignore all remote
control commands.
