  • Page 7: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for buying the LT200! Although it is simple to use, we recommend that you read this manual before operating the laser. Description The LT200 is ideal for general construction, site preparation, and other leveling applications. It automatically self-levels in horizontal and can be used for manual grade as well.
  • Page 9 How To Use The LT200 Setup Horizontal The laser can be used on a 5/8-11 tripod, on a wall mount, or directly on a solid, stable surface. The LT200 has a wide self-leveling range; however, if the laser is set up out of the leveling range, laser beam will continue to blink and rotation will not start.

  • Page 10: Match Slope

    Rotation Rotation Speed The head rotates at 3 speeds: 0, 90 and 600 rpm. To switch from 0 to 90 and 600 rpm, press on key (2). The laser beam is more visible at slower rotation speeds. The faster speed (600 rpm) is required for many machine control receiver applications.
  • Page 11 Batteries Laser Battery The LT200 has a NiCad rechargeable battery that should be charged for 15 hours before first use. Charging the Battery 1) Remove the charging connector cover on the side of the laser. Insert the charger plug and fully engage the threads. 2) Plug the charger into an electrical outlet (110 volts or 220 volts, depending on charger and country).

  • Page 12: How To Check And Calibrate

    Checking and Adjusting the LT200 THIS CHAPTER IS VERY IMPORTANT: Here are a few simple instructions to check your laser for calibration. Remember that the laser is a precision instrument and it is important that you keep it calibrated and in proper condition. The accuracy of your work is completely your responsibility and you should regularly check your instrument, especially prior to important jobs.

  • Page 13: Calibration Overview

    Calibration Overview Calibration is electronic, using the optional detector/remote control or the small remote control (preferred method). If you do not have a remote, the laser keypad may also be used. This method will take longer due to the laser making self-adjustments during movement.
  • Page 14 Checking & Calibrating X & Y Axes 1) Place the laser on a flat surface or tripod 30 m away from a wall. If too bright to see the beam, use a detector with a pole or grade rod. Position so that -X is facing the wall (this is the side of the laser with the On/Off key).
  • Page 15 7) Select the Y axis by pressing the double arrow key (>> l ) on the remote (or the HI key on the laser keypad). Look for: Y LED blinking rapidly, indicating leveling. When the LED blinks slowly, the laser is ready to verify Y axis calibration. 8) Check Y calibration: a) With detector, mark center of the beam (-Y).

  • Page 16: Cone Error Checking

    Cone Error Checking 1) Set up the laser about 60 cm away from a wall (a) or pole and 30 m from another wall (b) or pole. 2) Turn the laser on. After it has self-levelled, mark the location of the beam on the near wall (a).

  • Page 17: Care And Handling

    Care and Handling CAUTION Use of control or calibration procedures other than those specified here in may result in hazardous radiation exposure. 1) The LT200 is a precision instrument that must be handled with care. Avoid shock and vibrations. 2) After use, it’s recommended that you wipe the laser dry and store in a dry place.

  • Page 31: Automatic/Manual Mode

    How To Use The LT300 Setup Horizontal The laser can be used on a 5/8-11 tripod, on a wall mount, or directly on a solid, stable surface. Vertical The laser can be placed directly on a solid, stable surface. Place the laser on the side with the two adjustable feet (6). Rough level the laser by using the feet to center the bubble in the vertical vial (4).
  • Page 32 H.I. Alert H.I. (height of instrument) Alert stops the laser automatically if the laser is disturbed or moved, preventing inaccurate readings. It will function only when selected. To activate this safeguard feature, press the H.I. key (1). The LED indicator (9) will blink rapidly while the laser is self-leveling.
  • Page 33 Scanning Scanning mode allows you to see the beam easier at a distance. To switch from rotation to scan, press the scanning key (3). Use the + or - keys on the keypad to change scan lengths. Hold down the < or > arrows to move the scan left or right. To stop scanning, press again on the scanning key (3).

  • Page 38: Checking Z Axis

    8) Check Y calibration: a) With detector, mark center of the beam (-Y). b) Rotate laser 180° so +Y is facing wall. c) With detector, mark the center of the beam (+Y). d) At 30 m, the two marks should be no more than 4 mm apart. If the marks are close enough, Y axis is within calibration;...

  • Page 39: Calibrating Z Axis

    7) Move the scan up and down the entire length of the plumb line. If the beam is slanted, and not vertical like the plumb line, the Z axis needs to be calibrated. Calibrating Z Axis The laser must be calibrated to bring the rotating Z beam parallel to the plumb line.
  • Page 40 Cone Error Checking 1) Set up the laser about 60 cm away from a wall (a) or pole and 30 m from another wall (b) or pole. 2) Turn the laser on. After it has self-leveled, mark the location of the beam on the near wall (a).
