Leica Lino P5 - Mul-Tifunctional Point Laser Manual

Overview

Overview The Leica Lino P5 is a self-levelling multifunctional point laser. It is a reliable precision laser for any kind of tasks like levelling, plumbing, transfering and setting out right angles. It supports you on job side with vertical and horizontal five points (four points and one point in front of the device) which are arranged precisely in 90° to each other.

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:

ndicates 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 selflevelling function is deactivated. In this case the laser blinks every 5sec.

Li-Ion battery (optional)
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.

Li-Ion status LED
The function of the Li-Ion status LED is indicated by the 3rd number in the 10-digit serial number on the type label of the Li-Ion battery.

Number 0, 1 or 2:

	lights green: charging battery
	OFF: charging finished / no charging

Number 3 or higher:

	blinks green: charging battery
	lights green: charging finished / no charging

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.

How to use the smart adapters

Setup device to adapter

Snap the device on the Twist 360 adapter.

Alignment of vertical laser lines

Turn the device 360° around the plumb point to adjust the vertical line.

Alignment of horizontal laser lines

Turn the adjustment knob of UAL130 to fine adjust the horizonal line to the desired reference level.

Different fixing applications

Levelling
Checking the accuracy of the levelling

Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between two walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart. Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Direct the instrument at wall A and switch on the instrument. Activate the hori- zontal laser line or laser point and mark the pos- ition of the line or the point on wall (A1). Rotate the instrument by 180° and mark the horizontal laser line or the laser point in exactly the same way on 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 dis- tances of the marked points A1-A2 and B1-B2.
Calculate the difference of the two meas- urements.
|(A1 - A2) - (B1 - B2)| <=2 mm
If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the instrument is within tolerance.
Should your instrument be outside of the specified tolerance, please contact a local dealer or an authorised Leica Geosystems distributor.

Vertical plumb points
Checking the accuracy of the upper plumb point:

Place the lock switch in the "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Set up the laser on its tripod to 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 instrument is within tolerance.
Should your instrument be outside of the specified tolerance, please contact a local dealer or an authorised Leica Geosystems distributor.

Perpendicularity horizontal points

Place lock switch in "Unlocked" position (see Levelling lock). Mark a reference point (P1) approx. 5m from the walls and position the lower plumb point exactly on it. Align the cross hair to the left wall and mark the intersection point (a1) approx. on the same hight like P1 to the wall. Shortly after mark the right-hand perpendicular beam (b1) on the front wall.

Then rotate the device exactly 90° clockwise around the plumb point P1 and position the lefthand perpendicular beam to the existing ref- erence point a1. Make sure that the upper plumb point is still exactly on the reference P1. Check afterwards the new reference point b2 with the old reference b1 on the front wall. The deviation between the two points may be max. 3mm. Mark the new position of the right-hand perpendicular beam to the right wall with c1.

Afterwards turn the device exactly 180° around the plumb point P1 and position the right-hand perpendicular beam to the existing reference point a1. Make sure that the upper plumb point is still exactly on the reference P1. Then mark the left-hand beam to the right wall and mark it with c2. Finally measure the difference between the former reference point c1 and the new point c2. The deviation may be max. 3mm between these two points.
Should your instrument be outside of the specified tolerance, please contact a local dealer or an authorised Leica Geosystems distributor.
