Reference will reimburse an approved service center for approved warranty repairs based on the repair times listed in this manual. The dollar rate of reimbursement per hour will be set by Laser Reference. Repairs may be sent directly to the distributor or to the factory for repair if the dealer is not equipped or trained to perform these operations.
Theory of Operation The L5 is a pendulum compensated rotary laser transmitter, which produces a level plane of light by sweeping a collimated laser beam 360 degrees. The beam is produced by a laser diode and then is collimated by passing through a lens. The laser diode and lens are mounted inside the body of a pendulum, which is suspended at the top by a series of 3 gimbal plates.

Customer must specify between old and new rotor assembly when ordering this part. New Style Rotor, Note Rotor Shaft has a snap ring and is made of brass. New L5 Rotor Assembly part number 080-0210. Rotor assembly includes rotor cap, windows, penta prism, and rotor shaft. Pulley is not included.
Troubleshooting Guide No Scan Mode Function No scan mode function Does the unit function normally in rotation mode? See other symptoms Does the rotor rotate intermittently when in scan mode? Is the interconnect PCB parallel Repair tapped screw holes to allow with the top of the compensator holding screws to be straight.
Known Issues Power Switch Symptoms: Laser powers on as soon as batteries are inserted, cannot be turned off. In some instances, the laser will not power on, even with good batteries. The dome switches were being damaged by our vendor who was stuffing the PCB, and could fail in the field even after our in house inspections.
Repair Procedures Replace Leveling Base .25 hrs. 1. Remove exiting leveling base assembly. a) Remove the screw and 0-ring at the pivot point. b) Unscrew both leveling screws from the base pan. c) Remove any excess grease or brass shaving. 2.
Replace the Internals Assembly .75 hrs. 1. Remove the housing using a 3/32” hex driver to remove the 7 socket head cap screws that attach the housing assembly to the base pan. * Carefully lift the housing assembly from the base pan and detach the 3 wire harness from the interconnect PCB.
4. Remove the front calibration plug. Insert allen calibration tool and adjust bubble to center. Note, older models required removal of housing to enable vertical vial adjustment. Housing can be modified by drilling a hole and insertion of a calibration plug. Check with factory for hole dimensions and placement.

Re-install the housing and check the compensation range compared to the bubble travel. If the bubble is out of center but within the circle when the range is centered, adjust the bubble to match the compensator range. The bubble can be brought to center with the adjustment screws without causing unacceptable squaring errors.
