OPERATION
Quick Guide to Using Rotary Level
The One Minute Set-Up
1. Set the Base Unit up on a tripod or any surface that is within 10° of level.
There are two tripod mounts built into the bottom of
the Adjusting Base - a 5/8" x 11 (standard transit
level tripod) and 1/4" x 20 (camera-type tripod).
2. Extend the Antenna on the base unit by pulling up gently.
The Antenna extends 16".
3. Slide the On/Off switch on the Base Unit up. The LED will light up for two
seconds to let you know the Base Unit is on. (The laser will not come on until
you turn the Remote Control on) If the LED does not light, check to make sure
the Lens Cover is all the way up. If the LED is still not lit, you need to change
the batteries in the Base Unit.
4. Turn the laser on by sliding the On/Off switch on the Remote
Control down so that the laser symbol is exposed.
5. The laser and LED will blink on and off if the Base Unit is out-of-level. If this
occurs, roughly level out the Base Unit by moving it on the Adjusting Base
until the laser stops blinking. Rotary Level is self-leveling within a +/-10°
range.
Rotate 360 °to
make sure the
laser does not
blink, and you're
set to go!
6. Using the Remote Control, rotate the base unit a
full 360° (preferably on medium speed - the
second arrow in from either side of the Remote
Control). If the laser or LED blinks at any time
during this rotation stop and adjust the Base Unit
on its Adjusting Base until the laser stops
blinking, then repeat your 360° rotation from that
point.
Laser Auto Shutdown Feature
The laser in the Base Unit has an auto-shutdown feature to extend battery life.
THE LASER WILL SHUT OFF AFTER FIVE MINUTES OF INACTIVITY. Prior to
shutdown, the laser and LED will blink quickly twice, pause, then blink quickly
twice again. To turn the laser back on, you must turn the Remote Control off and
then on again (slide the On/Off switch up and then down again).
Turning Rotary Level Off
8. Slide the On/Off switch on the Remote Control up so that the laser symbol is
no longer visible.
9. On the Base Unit, slide the On/Off switch down. Unless the On/Off switch is
down, the Base Unit is not completely shut off and will continue to drain
battery power. The On/Off switch also locks down the (pendulum) self-leveling
mechanism for stability during transport.
4
Using the Remote Control
The Remote Control is one of the features that makes Rotary Level unique in the
field of laser leveling systems. Using the Remote Control, you can control the
rotation of the Base Unit from up to 100 feet away! You don't even have to be "in
sight" of the Base Unit because the Remote Control operates on radio frequency.
The speed / direction buttons control the rotation of the precision step motor
inside the Base Unit - which simply means that you put the laser dot right where
you need it for marking or measurement.
By pressing the speed / direction buttons, you can rotate the Base Unit 360°
clockwise (right) or counterclockwise (left).
There are three speeds of rotation - Fast, Medium, and Slow (very slow). The
slowest speed is most helpful when you want the laser dot to hit a specific spot.
Finding The Laser Dot
Using the speed / direction buttons on the Remote Control, rotate the Base Unit
until you see the LED on the Base Unit straight on (at its brightest). It is easiest
to sweep the laser dot across walls or other flat surfaces. Your body can also be
used as a target if operating the unit in an open field.
DANGER: Never look directly into the laser source as this may cause eye
damage.

DANGER: - use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
6
Recalibration
Rotary Level can be recalibrated by you, in the field. If Rotary Level is dropped,
you should recalibrate.
1. Choose your recalibration site. To get the most accurate calibration possible,
it is best to use two vertical (plumb) surfaces directly opposite each other,
100' apart (50' minimum).
The recalibration process
should be done on a level
surface so that the Base Unit
does not have to be re-
adjusted on its base
during calibration.
2. Make sure the laser is off (Remote Control
Recalibration
Plug
switch is in the off position - no laser icon
showing).
3. Slide the Base Unit On/Off switch to the "on"
position. Slide the line generation switch "Off".
Remove the Recalibration Plug, located at the
bottom of the laser opening. Take care not to
lose the recalibration plug as you pop it out.
4. Place the Base Unit about 5' from one of your two vertical surfaces. This will
be Surface A. Turn the Base Unit and Remote Control on.
5. Rotate the Base Unit 360°, making sure the laser and LED don't blink at any
time during the rotation. If they blink at any point, simply adjust the Base Unit on
the Adjusting Base and continue.
6. Using the Remote Control, position the laser dot on Surface A and mark the
dot location.
7. Using the Remote Control, rotate the Base Unit 180° so that the laser dot is
now visible on your opposing surface, Surface B. Mark the laser dot position on
Surface B.
7
8. Move the base unit to about 5' from Surface B (the location you just marked). Raise
or lower the Base Unit so that the laser dot hits the spot you have already marked.
9. Using the Remote Control, rotate the Base Unit until the laser dot is exactly
on, directly above, or directly below the point marked on Surface A. Mark this
new spot. You should now have two spots marked on Surface A. Any difference
in height between the two marks is equal to twice the error in calibration. If the
two marks are at the same point, the unit does not need to be calibrated.
10. Insert the Allen wrench (provided with your Carrying Case) into the
recalibration port on the Base Unit (where you removed the plug from). Press in
firmly until you engage the socket headed screw.
11. Turn the Allen wrench 45°, then pull it out and note
the position of the laser dot.
Repeat this process until the dot is 1/2 way in between
your first and second markings on Surface A (where you
started this whole thing from). To raise the laser dot, turn
the Allen wrench clockwise. To lower the dot, turn the
Allen wrench counterclockwise.
12. Once the recalibration is complete, turn the laser off (Remote Control switch
in the off position). Replace the Recalibration Plug by pressing it back in firmly.

Troubleshooting
When the…
LED does not come on
when Lens Cover is up.
The batteries in the Base Unit may need to be
changed. Change the batteries, then turn the Base
Unit on again.
Laser is out-of-level, or has been knocked out-of-
level. Move the Base Unit on the Adjusting Base until
both the LED and Laser quit blinking. Use the Remote
Control to rotate the Base Unit 360°, making sure the
Laser/LED do not blink at any time during the rotation.
LED and Laser blink
continuously.
Change the battery in the Remote Control. If the
problem persists, change the batteries in the Base
Unit.
Remote Control will not
drive the Base Unit.
Check batteries in the Base Unit. Prolonged exposure
to extremely high temperatures (120° F +) may cause
the laser to overheat. This will cause the self-
protection circuit in the Base Unit to shut down.
Laser & LED shut off
without warning blinks.
The Base Unit has been mounted to a screw longer
than 5/8". This could cause damage to the Adjusting
Base.
Base Unit will not move
on Adjusting Base.

Line Generating Feature
You have just purchased your Self-Leveling, Remote Controlled Laser,
Rotary Level with the new line-generating feature. The following outlines the
operation of the feature with your Rotary Level.
The line-generating feature converts Rotary Level’s single laser dot into a line
of bright dots, designed specifically for interior leveling applications. Turn
the line generation feature switch
“ON”. A horizontal, stationary line of
bright laser dots will appear if the
Rotary Level is level and a horizontal,
flashing line of bright laser dots will
appear if the Rotary Level is not level.
Reposition the Rotary Level within its
self-leveling range of +/- 10 degrees
to achieve a stationary, horizontal
level line of laser dots. The line can
then be positioned around the
worksite with the Rotary Level remote
control.
Note: The center section of the line
yields the brightest dots. Dots at the
far extreme will appear fainter.
Note: Be sure to turn the Rotary Level off during storage and transportation.
Failure to do so will affect the battery life.
User Safety
Important: These labels are attached to every Rotary Level.
They are not to be removed or defaced.
