To be able to detect the laser lines over long distances

(> 15 m) or in unfavourable lighting conditions, a laser detector can be used. The detector is able to locate the laser beam in Pulse mode, even over long distances.

Set the instrument on a tripod half-way between two walls (A+B) that are approx. 5 m apart.

Place the Lock switch 3 in the "Unlocked" ( position.

)

Direct the instrument at wall A and switch on the instrument. Activate the horizontal laser line or laser dot and mark the position of the line or the dot on wall A (-> A1).

Rotate the instrument by 180° and mark the horizontal laser line or the laser dot in exactly the same way on wall

B (-> 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 dot 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. If the difference does not exceed 2 mm, then the SK104 is within tolerance.

Position the instrument approx. 5 m away from the wall.

Direct the instrument at the wall and switch on with the

On/Set key 1. Activate the laser line with the On/Set key

1 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 SK104 is within tolerance.

Place the Lock switch 3 in the "Unlocked" ( position.

As 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 with the On/Set key 1. Activate the laser line with the On/Set key 1. 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 2 mm, then the

SK104 is within tolerance.

Care and advice on operation

Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp soft cloth. Do not 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.

Transport

To safely transport the instrument, set the Lock switch 3 to

"Locked" ( ).
