Instrument Set-up

Introduction

The safety instructions (see Safety Instructions) and the user manual should be read through carefully before the product is used for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them.

The symbols used have the following meanings:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury and/or appreciable material, financial and environmental damage.

Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and efficient manner.

Levelling lock

Levelling unlocked

In the unlocked position the instrument automatically levels itself within the specified inclination range. (See Technical data)

Levelling locked

Turn the levelling lock in order to transport or tilt the instrument beyond the self-levelling range. When locked, the pendulum is fixed and the self-levelling function is deactivated. In this case the laser blinks every 3sec.

Laser receiver

To be able to detect the laser lines over long distances (>15 m) or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a laser receiver can be used.

We recommend the Leica RVL80 laser receiver.

Li-Ion battery

Charge Li-Ion battery
Charge the Li-Ion battery before using it for the first time. While charging, the instrument may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the instrument´s lifespan or performance. At the recommended storage temperature of -20°C to +30°C (-4°F to +86°F), batteries containing a 50% to 100% charge can be stored up to 1 year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged.

Connecting the charger using the wrong adapter may cause serious damage to the instrument. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by warranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, batteries and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the instrument.

Insert Li-Ion battery
Insert the battery-pack by pressing it down and then tilting it towards the housing as shown until it snaps in.

Alkaline batteries

To ensure a reliable use, we recommend using high quality Alkaline batteries.

Insert Alkaline batteries
Insert Alkaline batteries in the battery-pack.

Insert the battery-pack
Insert the battery-pack by pressing it down and then tilting it towards the housing as shown until it snaps in.

Operations

Switching ON/OFF

Functions

Check if self-levelling is required and correspondingly activated. (See Levelling lock for details)

Alignment of vertical laser lines

Turn adjustment knob (1) for fine adjustment of verticallaser lines.

Message Codes

Laser	LED	Cause	Correction
ON	lights red	instrument has low power	Charge Li-Ion battery or change Alkaline batteries
OFF	blinks red	Temperature alert	Cool down or heat up instrument
blinks	blinks red	instrument is out of self-levelling range	Place the instrument almost horizontal and self-levelling will start automatically
blinks every 3 sec	lights green	Levelling lock is activated for working without self-levelling

Accuracy Check

Check the accuracy of your Leica Lino L4P1 regularly and particularly before important measuring tasks. Check Levelling lock before checking the accuracy.

Levelling

Checking the accuracy of the levelling

Set the instrument on a tripod half-waybetween two walls(A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart. Place the lockswitch in the "Unlocked" position. Direct the instrument at wallAand switch on the instrument. Activate the horizontal laser line or laser point and markthe position of the line or the point on wall(A1). Rotate the instrument by180°and markthe horizontal laser line or the laser point in exactlythe same wayon wall(B1).

Then place the instrument at the same elevation as close as possible to wall A and again mark the horizontal laser line or the laser point on wall A (A2). Rotate the instrument by 180° again and mark the laser on wall B (B2). Measure the distances of the marked points A1-A2 and B1-B2. Calculate the difference of the two measurements.

|(A1 - A2) - (B1 - B2)| <=2 mm

If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the Leica Lino L4P1 is within tolerance.

Vertical and horizontal line

Checking the accuracy of the horizontal line

Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position. Position the instrument approx. 5 m away from the wall. Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on. Activate the laser line and mark the intersection point of laser crosshairs on the wall. Swivel the instrument to the right and then to the left. Observe the vertical deviation of the horizontal line from the marking. If the difference does not exceed 3 mm, then the Leica Lino L4P1 is within tolerance.

Checking the accuracy of the vertical line

Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position. As a reference, use a plumb-bob and attach it as close as possible to an approx. 3 m high wall. Position the instrument at a distance of approx. 1.5 m from the wall at an elevation of approx. 1.5 m. Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on. Rotate the instrument and align it with the bottom of the plumb line. Now read off the maximum deviation of the laser line from the top of the plumb line. If the difference does not exceed 3 mm, then the Leica Lino L4P1 is within tolerance.

Vertical plumb points

Checking the accuracy of the upper plumb point:

Set up the laser on its tripod or wall mount bracket near point A1 at a minimum distance of 1.5 m from point B1. The horizontal laser is aligned in direction 1. Mark the laser points A1 and B1 with a pin.

Checking the accuracy of the lower plumb point:

Rotate the instrument by 180° so that it points in the opposite direction 2 to direction 1. Adjust the instrument so that the laser beam hits point A1 exactly. If point B2 is no further than 2 mm away from point B1, then the Leica Lino L4P1 is within tolerance.

Care

Never immerse the device in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp soft cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. Treat the instrument with the same care that you would apply to binoculars or a camera. Dropping or violent shaking of the instrument may damage it. Check the instrument for any damage before using it. Check the levelling accuracy of the instrument regularly.
