Inclined operation in a single axis/manual operation

The automatic levelling of the measuring tool can be switched off (manual operation):

  • in the horizontal position for both axes independently of each other,
  • in the vertical position for the X‑axis (the Y‑axis cannot be levelled in the vertical position).

It is possible to set up the measuring tool at any inclination in manual operation mode. The axes can also be tilted independently of each other in a range of ±8 % on the measuring tool.

Selecting the axis: To start the manual operation or select the axis to be tilted, press the manual operation button (14) on the measuring tool or the manual operation button (31) on the remote control. You can see on the X‑axis (7) or Y‑axis (6) status indicators which axis is no longer level and can be tilted.

Tilting the axis: The slope of an axis in slope operation or manual operation can be altered within five seconds of selecting the axis (as long as the relevant status indicator of the axis is flashing red). If the status indicator lights up red continuously, the slope has been determined. To alter the slope, press the manual operation button (14) on the measuring tool or the manual operation button (31) on the remote control again until the status indicator of the required axis flashes red.

You can alter the slope of an adjustable axis as follows:

  • On the measuring tool: Press the slope button down (5) to tilt the adjustable axis in a "–" direction.
    Press the slope button up (15) to tilt the adjustable axis in a "+" direction.
  • With the remote control: Press the slope button X+ (25) or the slope button X– (22) to tilt the X‑axis in a "+" direction or "–" direction.
    Press the slope button Y+ (24) or the slope button Y– (32) to tilt the Y‑axis in a "+" direction or "–" direction.
