LASER RADIATION DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM obtaining plumb lines. The LAR 160 / LAR 160 G has a sealed enclosure (IP 65) for use on 510 - 635 nm / <1mW building sites. It is self-levelling within a range of ± 5°.
4. Commissioning 4.1 Battery insertion/replacement Open thebattery compartment lid (9) in the direction of the arrow and insert new batteries in the battery compartment as indicated by the symbol. Suitable rechargeable batteries can also be used. LED indicator: Orange LED: Battery capacity low - Insert new battery Used batteries should be disposed of at...
Place the laser unit in the appropriate working position (vertical or horizontal). Press the button (ON/OFF) once. The LAR 160 / LAR 160 G is in now in “Automatic operation with tilt function”. The automatic levelling process begins. Once levelling is complete, the beam stays on constantly and begins to rotate.
5.2 Automatic operation with relevelling In some working conditions (where shocks or vibrations affecting the surface occur, for example), the tilt function is disruptive. With automatic relevelling, on the other hand, the unit is readjusted each time it is knocked out of alignment. Place the laser unit in the appropriate working position (vertical or horizontal).
5.3 Manual operation In manual operation, neither the tilt function nor relevelling are active. In this mode the unit is aligned entirely by hand. The unit does not level itself. Place the laser unit in the appropriate working position (vertical or horizontal). Press the “ON/OFF” button once. The green LED indicates that the unit is switched on and the laser beam flashes.
6. Functions Rotation function The laser beam rotates through 360° around its axis: • Horizontal • Vertical Right angle (90°) In vertical operation, the point laser and the rotation plane form a 90° angle. This allows right angles to be created. Plumb-line function Transfers a determined point from the floor to the ceiling.

Be sure to adhere as closely as possible to the orientation of the unit as shown. 1. Place the LAR 160 / LAR 160 G on a horizontal surface or on a tripod at a distance of at least 10 m (50’) from a wall, with the operator panel towards the wall.
B. Point 2. 6. Now reposition the laser unit so that it is directly in front of wall B. Align the LAR 160 / LAR 160 G with wall B using the plumb-line laser.
Batteries: 2 x 1.5 V alkaline, size mono, D, LR20 Battery life: LAR 160 approx. 40 hours (alkaline) LAR 160 G approx. 20 hours (alkaline) Operating temperature range: -10 °C to +50 °C / 14°F to +122°F Storage temperature range: -25 °C to +70 °C / -13°F to +158°F...
