•  If initial service is required, which results in the removal of the outer protective cover, removal must only be 

performed by factory-trained personnel.

Caution:

 Use of other than the described user and calibration tools or other procedures may result 

in exposure to hazardous laser light.

Caution:

 Using different than described at the HV101 user guide, may result in unsafe operation.

How to Use the Laser System

Powering the Laser

Batteries

Installing Batteries

Open the battery door using your fi ngers, a coin or a screwdriver. 

Insert batteries into the housing so that the negative poles are on the bigger battery spiral spring. 

Push down on the battery door until the latch “clicks” into position.

Laser Setup

Position the laser horizontally or vertically (tripod mount and rubber feet downward!) on a stable platform, wall 

mount or tripod at the desired elevation. The laser recognizes automatically whether it is used horizontally or 

vertically when switched on.

Turning On/Off the Laser

Press the power button 

1

 to turn on the laser. 

Note:

 The laser always powers up in the automatic self-leveling mode. The LEDs (

2, 4

 and 

5

) are 

turned on for 2 seconds. 

The laser is level when the leveling indicator 

4

 is no longer fl ashing (once every second). 

For the fi rst fi ve minutes after the laser self levels, the LED 

4

 lights solid then fl ashes every four seconds to 

let you know the laser is still level.

After turning on the laser and after self-leveling, the laser starts in the last chosen mode. The „set and forget“ 

function turns on the laser beam while scan size, beam position and rotation speed are adjusted.

If the laser is positioned beyond it´s self-leveling range of ±8%, the laser beam, and manual and leveling 

indicators fl ash simultaneously. Turn the unit off, reposition the laser within the self-leveling range and turn 

it on again.

Note:

 If the laser is out of its self-leveling range and remains out of it for more than 10 minutes, the 

unit shuts down completely.

Note:

 After the laser has been level for more than 5 minutes in horizontal mode and the rotor is 

rotating at 600 rpm, the HI (height of instrument) alert activates. If the laser is disturbed (tripod 

bumped, etc.) so that when it re-levels the laser beam elevation changes by more than 3 mm 

(1/8 in.), the HI alert shuts down the laser and rotor, and the red LED fl ashes two times per second 

(twice the manual-mode rate). To restore level, turn the laser off and on. After the laser has re-leveled, 

check your initial reference elevation.

In order to switch the laser off, press the power button again.

Activating/Deactivating Standby Mode

Standby mode is a power-saving feature that conserves laser battery life.

Press and hold the laser’s or remote control’s manual button for 3 seconds to activate standby mode.

Note:

 When standby mode is activated, the laser beam, rotor, self-leveling system, and LEDs shut 

down, but the HI alert remains activated.

To let you know that the laser is in standby mode, the battery LED fl ashes every 4 seconds. 

To deactivate standby mode and restore full operation of the laser, press and hold the laser’s or remote control’s 

manual button for 3 seconds. 

The laser and all other functions turn on again.

Using the Rotation Mode

The rotation control button 

9

 sets the laser into rotation mode. Scan mode is stopped.

Repeatedly pressing the button toggles the laser through 0, 50, 200, 600 RPM. 

The laser always powers up in the last selected rotation speed.

Note: 

The zone-scan button can be used to stop the beam’s rotation.

Using the Pointing Mode

Laser

If the beam’s rotation is stopped during horizontal operation, the up and down arrow buttons at the laser can 

be pressed to move the beam (small line) gradually counterclockwise or clockwise (360°). 

During vertical operation, the up /down arrow buttons can be used to move the small line left/right.

Remote Control

If the beam’s rotation is stopped during horizontal operation, the remote control’s left and right arrow buttons 

can be pressed to move the beam gradually counterclockwise or clockwise (360°). 

During vertical operation, the left /right arrow buttons can be used to move the beam counterclockwise/

clockwise.

By pressing and holding either button, the movement of the small line will be accelerated.

Note:

 The fi rst 4 seconds, the beam moves in fi ne pointing speed, then it moves in course speed.

 Using the Scan Mode

Pressing and releasing the zone-scan button at the laser or remote control sets the laser to scan mode. 

Rotation mode is stopped.

The unit starts at an opening angle of approx. 3 degrees. Repeatedly pressing the zone-scan button increases 

the angle to approx. 8, 45, 90, 180 and 0 degrees.

Pressing the up or down button at the laser or the right or left arrow button at the remote control moves the 

scan zone clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired position is reached. 

Note:

 In self-leveling mode (horizontal), the up arrow button increases the zone-scan size (up to 

180º), and the down arrow button decreases the size (down to 3º).

Note:

 The rotation control button can be used to stop the scan mode.

Using the Manual Mode

Pressing the manual button on the laser or the remote control changes the laser from automatic self-leveling 

mode to Manual mode. Manual mode is indicated by the fl ashing (once every second) red LED 

5

.

In Manual mode (horizontal), the Y-axis can be sloped by pressing the Up- and Down-Arrow-buttons on the 

laser‘s keypad or the remote control. Additionally, the X-axis can be sloped by pressing the Left- and Right-

Arrow-buttons on the remote control.

In vertical mode, the up and down arrow buttons align the laser beam to the right/left side, 

and the left and right arrow buttons at the remote control adjust the slope of the laser beam.

To resume automatic self-leveling mode, press the manual button again.

Using the Y- or X-Axis Single Slope Mode

To activate the Y-axis single slope mode, press the manual button (1 second) after the up arrow button at the 

laser or remote control has been pressed and released. This is indicated by the simultaneously fl ashing red 

5

 and green 

4

 LEDs (once every second).
