Thank you for purchasing the CST/Berger LMPL20 Electronic Self-Leveling Pipe Laser level. The LMPL20 pipe laser tool has many unique features such as a High Powered Red laser beam, which makes accurately locating the center of the beam easy. The Unique High Powered Red Laser beam also increases the visibility of the laser over long distances- inside or outside the pipe.
Laser notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. This LMPL20 has also been tested and complies with the CE certification requirements set forth in the EC regulations 89/336/EEC and EN 61000-6-1 (EN50082-1), EN 61000-6-3 (EN50081-1) and EN 60825-1.
Leveling Place the LMPL20 so it is appears level on a flat surface, inside a pipe, on top of a pipe, secured to a 5/8”-11 mounting bracket, or to a 5/8”-11 surveyors tripod. Press and release the “A” button to turn the LMPL20 on. A Startup Screen will initially appear on the LCD with manufacturer name and user information, if entered, for approximately 3 second.
Deactivate sleep mode using the same procedure, hold power button and then press enter button. Re-Leveling If the LMPL20 is moved from its level position, the LMPL20 will re-level. The leveling feature of the laser is independent of the Grade and Line Position Settings. Plumb On a flat horizontal surface place the LMPL20 in its normal operation position.

Press the “B” to exit and save option Line Alert The LMPL20 Line Alert feature alerts the user that the laser line may have changed position (in line setting and or elevation) if the pipe laser tool was disturbed. When the pipe laser tool is turned on, it will default to the last setting selected for Line Alert. The default setting for Line Alert is user selectable.

Once the unit is selected, press the “B” to return to the Menu Display Screen Text Entry Screen The LMPL20 offers the user the option to input up to four lines of text for displaying user information. This can include, but is not limited to, the following: a.
The Security Screen will appear in the LCD display (Fig. 12) Note: If the User has previously set up a password, then the LMPL20 will request the user to enter a password before entering the Security Screen. If the Password is input incorrectly, it will clear and request the password again.
The LMPL20 offers the user the ability to set the LMPL20 and the RC20 control to a specific address. This is used in applications that involve multiple LMPL20’s and is used so the one remote will only work with the LMPL20 that is set to the same address.
The external power port may be used to supply the LMPL20 with an external 12V power supply. The external 12V power supply can be used to power the LMPL20 without a battery pack installed, or can be used to charge a NiMH rechargeable battery pack if inserted in the LMPL20.

Locate a previously level area to set the LMPL20. Level the LMPL20 and set the grade to precisely 0.000% Set two markers (A and B) in line with the laser. Marker “A” should be set 1’ (.3M) from front of the LMPL20, and Marker “B”...

Attach the LM-PL20 to the trivet plate or position in the manhole on the correct feet. Care should be taken that the LMPL20 is positioned on the correct centerline. Use the three leveling screws to adjust the trivet plate to approximate level condition (not required when mounting on self centering feet with pre-poured inverts - as the invert should be at the correct elevation).

Place the grade rod in the manhole at the correct elevation and position the laser at the correct height in relation to the grade rod. Note that the grade rod can be positioned on the top of the LMPL20 and a correction of - 2.78 inch (70.5mm) is required.

(7" or 175mm). Finally to set the LMPL20 to the correct elevation for use, place the pipe target in the pipe using the target associated with the size of pipe you are setting. Then adjust the pipe until the laser beam is precisely in the center of the alignment center of the target.

This will ensure accuracy in set up and allow one person to set the LMPL20 up for use. By using the LMPL20 keypad, it may be necessary to have a person at both the LMPL20 and target in order to guide the laser beam to the center of the target.
