GEO-Laser UL-89L Operating Instructions

1. Description
1.1 Function
The automatic universal laser UL-89L is a multifunction laser with
inclination setting for horizontal and vertical use capable of
electronic self-levelling over three axes. It emits a laser
beam, which turns into a light plane as it rotates.

Operating Instructions

Another laser beam is available exactly square to it.
The operation is made at the laser or optionally with the
wireless control FB-10. The rotating laser beam in the Y axis is locked
by the locking receiver FE-53 and the plumb beam in the Y and X axes
Universal-Laser UL-89L
by the FE-61.
1.2 Inclination Symbol
Uncompromising versatility
Enables clear inclination assignment.
The +/- and X/Y symbols indicate the inclination. The + ranges are
light and the - ranges dark.
The symbol also shows the inclination and its change relative to
the centre axis.

7. Inclination Measurement Parallel to Ground 40 m
Even if the inclination is unknown, it can simply be adapted to the ground. Although the laser is adjusted precisely by the manufacturer, jolts and strong
vibrations can lead to maladjustment. The laser should therefore be checked
before use:
1. Select a measuring area of approx. 40 m that is as horizontal as possible and
set up the laser with the counter at 0.000%.
2. Set up two control points, one directly in front of the laser and the other in a
distance of approx. 40 m, and measure the distance to the centre of the laser
Aiming Point
beam "a" and "b".
3. Set up the laser behind the second measuring point and repeat the measuring
process in reverse direction, this means measure "A" and "B".
4. If the adjustment is correct, A - a = B - b. This means, the laser beam of the first
installation is parallel to the second one.
8.3 Adjustment
Reference The laser can be adjusted in the field without having to open the device. For safety
Point reasons, however, adjustment should only be carried out by authorized
personnel. See the special adjustment instructions in this regard.
If the adjustment is incorrect, please contact your specialist dealer.
