OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To get the most out of your Prolaser Electrota 8991, please ® ™ adhere carefully to the following instructions. Note: Avoid setting up the laser near heavy machinery or sources of vibration that may adversely affect the leveling of the laser. Horizontal Plane (Automatic Mode) Place the Rotary Laser on a dry, flat, vibration free surface or or on a standard 5/8"...
Inclined Plane The Rotary Laser can be set up to create a single or dual directional inclined planed at ±5° from the horizontal plane. This is very helpful for laying inclined concrete surfaces, ensuring run- off pathways as well as laying water and sewage lines. 1.
7. To make the beam more visible, change the rotating speed (see page 13), change scanning mode (see page 14), or use the Laser Detector to detect the laser beam (see page 15). 8. You can use the remote control to control the Rotary Laser (see page 16).
Vertical Setup The Rotary Laser can be set up to create a vertical laser line, to check the vertical alignment of a wall or fence pole. 1. Position the Rotary Laser on its side on a dry, flat, vibration free surface or on a standard 5/8"...
Plumb Down The Plumb Down feature enables you to center the Rotary Laser onto a selected point. It is much easier to use this feature if you set up the Rotary Laser on a tripod with a hollow connecting bolt. 1.
Scan Function The Scan function is used to limit the area covered by the laser beam, for safety reasons or to improve visibility and sensitivity. A smaller scan segment will be more visible than a larger one. The default mode is a 360° rotation, which provides a horizontal or inclined beam throughout the work area or room.
Laser Detector The Prolaser Electrota 8991 is effective up to 300m (980ft) ® ™ when used together with the Laser Detector. Use the Laser Detector when it is hard to see the light beam, such as outdoors or in bright rooms. Attach the Laser Detector to a rod if the laser unit is positioned above head height.
Using the Remote Control The laser can be operated by an infra-red remote control. The remote control will only work if there is an uninterrupted line of sight between the infra-red control and the remote control sensor, on the control panel. The effective range of the remote control is 20m.
POWER SUPPLY Rotary Laser The Prolaser Electrota 8991 is supplied with on-board internal ® ™ rechargeable batteries and a battery charger (AC/DC Converter). Note: A bracket and a set of four regular type C batteries are also supplied for optional use. 1.

Horizontal Plane Calibration Test 1. Set up the Rotary Laser approximately 50m (165ft) from a wall or measuring staff.
Page 21
Horizontal Line Calibration Test 1.Set up the Rotary Laser on a level surface, between two walls or measuring staffs that are about 100ft (30m) apart. 2. Position the laser about 0.5m (1.5ft) from 1st wall/staff. 3. Position the laser on vertical leveling side. 4.
