Main components
- The LAX-50 laser
- Exit aperture for the horizontal and vertical laser lines
- Rough adjustment vial
- On/off switch
- Clamp
- Locking lever for clamp
- Battery compartment cover
- Base unit
- 360° scale
- Carrying case
- Telescopic poles
- Locking screws
- Securing strap
- Securing plat
- Spring
NB:
In Class II laser equipment, your eyes are protected from accidental, shortterm exposure to the laser beam by the lid-closing reflex and/or the reflex reaction to turn one’s head. This equipment can therefore be used without additional protective measures. Nevertheless, you should not look directly into the laser beam.
Main applications
- Opening the set.
- Remove the parts.
- Erect the tripod with the required height.
- Position the laser.
- Unscrew the telescopic poles from the base unit.
- Assemble the telescopic poles for a room height of up to 2.75 metres using the threaded sleeves.
- Secure the instrument firmly between the floor and ceiling using the spring unit, securing plate and base unit.
- Position the laser. To secure in position, turn the locking lever until it is tight.
The instrument is switched on with the on/off switch (4). Vertical and horizontal lines will appear after switching on. The laser will automatically level itself.
The vertical laser line indicates the angular displacement of the laser unit and the laser line on the 360° scale of the base unit.
It’s necessary to center the unit by using the vial!
Checking the calibration
Vertical check
- You must create a reference to perform this test. Fasten a plumbline near to the wall.
- The laser unit should now be set up in front of this reference mark (distance Y) and the vertical laser line compared with it.
- The discrepancy between the centre of the laser line and the reference mark should be no greater than 1 mm over a length of 2 m.
Horizontal checking
- Set the LAX-50 on a smooth level surface or on the tripod with the front facing the wall.
- Switch the unit on.
- Mark the position of the visible laser line cross on the wall A (point 1).
- Turn the complete unit 180° without altering the height of the laser.
- Mark the position of the visible laser line cross on the wall B (point 2).
- Now move the unit directly in front of wall B.
- Set the unit’s height so that the laser dot’s height matches that of point 2.
- Without changing the height of the laser, rotate it 180° to place the beam near the mark on the first wall (step 3 / point 1 ).
S | Maximum permissible figure |
5 m | 5,0 mm |
10 m | 10,0 mm |
15 m | 15,0 mm |
The distance of the laser line (= point 4) from point M must not exceed 1,5 mm.
The distance of the laser line (= point 5) from point M must not exceed 1,5 mm.
X | Maximum permissible figure. |
5 m | 1,5 mm |
10 m | 3,0 mm |
15 m | 4,5 mm |
Replacing the batteries
Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for a long period!
Do not submerge the laser.
Do not store the laser when wet. Dry the laser and case before putting the laser away.
flashing
> The unit is inclined too much
+ is outside the self-levelling range
+ the laser cannot level itself automatically
Recycling programme for our EU customers:
In accordance with the WEEE regulations, STABILA provides a disposal programme for electronic products at the end of their service life. For more details, please contact: +49 / 6346 / 309-0
Care and maintenance
- Dirty lens glass on the beam emitter detracts from the quality of the beam. It should be cleaned with a soft cloth.
- Clean the laser unit with a damp cloth. Do not spray or immerse the unit! Do not use solvents or thinners!
Like any precision instrument, handle the LAX-50 crossed line laser carefully and cautiously
