FEATURES (Fig. A)

5 individual laser diodes produce 5 brilliant dots of light

On/Off Switch (#1, Fig. A)

The ON/OFF switch serves two purposes. Not only does it turn the power on

and off, it also locks the lasers in place. When the switch is placed in the

OFF position, a lock mechanism secures the pendulum (laser diodes) for

transportation or storage. This “Push & Slide” mechanism is designed to

protect the pendulum and to provide a product that will last on the job site.

Out of Level Indicator

The SP5 has a warning to let you know that the unit is out of level beyond its

self-leveling capability. If the lasers start blinking quickly, just move the SP5

to a more level position.

Low Battery Indicator

The laser will blink on and off 4 times every 8 seconds when there is approxi-

mately 2 hours of battery life remaining. Average life of the 3 “AA” batteries

is +/- 15 hours of intermittent use. It is always a good idea to put extra batter-

ies in the carrying case.

Two Self Calibration Ports (#2, Fig. A)

ACCESSORIES

Universal Mount (Fig. B)

1. Magnets for attachment to steel objects

2. Slots to attach mounting strap vertically or horizontally

3. 1/4" x 20 or 5/8” x 11 threads for tripod

4. 1/4" x 20 mounting stud for SP5

By sliding the Universal Mount back, you can expose the bottom beam to

transfer down plumb points.

Once the Universal Mount is attached to the bottom of the SP5, the unit can

ENGLISH

be mounted on a 1/4" x 20 thread camera tripod, a 5/8” x 11 surveyor’s tripod

or attached to any ferrous metal surface (such as steel studs) by using the

magnets located on the rear and bottom side of the mount, or fixed thanks to

the strap (supplied) to wood studs, etc.

Trivet – (Fig. C) Platform with 3 legs used for down plumb alignment jobs

(such as framing and drywall installation).

Target – This target is used for enhancing the visibility of the laser dot.

Strap – This strap is used for mounting the universal base to any object 17,80

cm or smaller in diameter, in order to ensure the safety of the instrument, if

mounted on an unstable surface.

Carrying Case – The soft sided carrying case provides ample storage for the

SP5, target, universal mount, laser glasses (not supplied), manual and 1

spare set of batteries (not supplied). The case can be belt mounted or comes

with a carrying strap and handle for easy handling.

APPLICATIONS

PLUMB (Fig. D)

Place the SP5 on the floor or a fairly level sur-

face near the wall or the object to be plumbed.

Measure from the wall being plumbed to the

laser beam at two points. One point near the SP5

and another point farther away. (Note: the greater

the distance between the two points the greater the possible accuracy).

If the measurements of the two points are the same, then the surface is

plumb. If not, pull the wall in or push it out until the upper and lower meas-

urements are equal.

If you want to transfer a point from the floor to a point on the ceiling or vice-

versa, mount the SP5 on the universal mount.

Move the SP5 until the point you wish to transfer is centered on the laser

dot. Mark the other point as required.

SP5 • 5

SQUARE (Fig. E)

Place the SP5 on the floor or a fairly level sur-

face near the walls or the objects to be

squared. Measure from one wall to the laser

beam at two points. One point near the SP5

and at another point farther away. (Note: the

greater the distance between the two points

the greater the possible accuracy). Rotate the

SP5 until the two measurements are equal. Do not

move the SP5 until the rest of the measuring is com-

pleted. Now take two measurements from the other wall to that laser beam.

If the measurements of these two points are the same, then the walls are

square. If they are not equal, move the second wall until the two measure-

ments are equal.

You can also square vertical surfaces to horizontal

surfaces by using a plumb beam and a level

beam.

LEVEL (Fig. F)

Set the SP5 on a surface that is at a conven-

ient height for marking a level reference plane

on walls or other surfaces. Mark the laser dot’s

location. You can now turn the SP5 to move the

laser dot to another location and continue marking.

These marks can be connected together with a straight edge to give you a

level line.

Be careful not to change the height of the SP5 during the process or your

level line will vary in height.

For damages caused by usage other then intended, the user is responsible.

INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Remove the Universal Mount if mounted. Remove the battery cover from the

battery compartment located in the bottom of the instrument itself.

Insert the batteries or replace the used batteries with new ones.

Check for correct polarity.

Do not use rechargeable batteries!

Extreme temperatures and the use of batteries with different levels of charge

can reduce the operating time of the instrument.

Always use batteries with the same power rating and from the same manu-

facturer. For disposal of the used batteries, see the section “Environmental

protection”.

CALIBRATION (Fig. G)

The SP5 is a precision instrument and needs to be handled carefully. If the

SP5 is treated roughly or accidentally dropped, it may need to be re-cal-

ibrated. Check the SP5 on a regular basis, following these steps:

1. Put the SP5 on a stable, smooth surface and turn it on. Aim one of the

side beams (1) at a vertical surface that is at least 20 meters away from

the SP5. Mark the beam’s location on the wall (a).

2. Turn the SP5 180° so the other side beam is now aimed at the original

spot. Mark this new spot (b). If the two spots are at the same height,

then move on to step 4.

3. If the two spots are at different heights, mark a spot half way between

the two (c). Remove the two calibration hole covers by using a screw-

driver. Insert a hex screw (1,5 mm) into the side calibration hole (X) and

turn the adjusting screw until the laser dot is on the new mark you

made (c).

4. Turn the SP5 so that the front beam (2) is pointed at the mark you made.

If the laser dot is not lined up with the mark, insert the adjusting wrench

in the front calibration hole (Y) and turn the adjusting screw until the

laser dot is on the mark you made.

5. Start at step 1 again and re-check your adjustments. If the three laser

dots stay on the same mark, then calibration is complete.

6. Push on the calibration port covers.

Your SP5 is calibrated and ready to go.

SAFETY AND CERTIFICATIONS

Working safely with this instrument is possible only when the operating and

safety information are read completely and the instructions contained there-

in are strictly followed.

Do not remove the label on the side of the housing.

The use in combination with other optical instruments, manipulations or use

in other applications other than described here, can lead to dangerous laser

outputs.

Do not stare into the laser beam.

Do not direct the laser beam at other persons. Since the laser beam is of the

boundled type, check the beam path over a relatively long distance and take

the necessary precautions.

This laser complies with all applicable portions of title 21 of the Code of

Federal Regulations set by the Dept. of Health, Education, and

Welfare, the Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Devices, and the

Bureau of Radiological Health.

The SP5 has also been tested and complies with the CE certification require-

ments set forth in the EC regulations 89/336/EEC and EN 61000-6-1 (EN50082-

1), EN 61000-6-3 (EN50081-1) and IEC 60-825-1.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

The SP5 is not waterproof. Do not allow the unit to get wet. Damage to inter-

nal circuits will result.

Do not leave the SP5 out in direct sunlight or expose it to high temperatures.

The housing and some internal parts are made of plastic and may become

deformed at high temperatures.

Do not store the SP5 in a cold environment. Moisture will form on interior

parts when warming up. The moisture could fog up laser windows and cause

corrosion of internal circuit boards.

When working in dusty locations, some dirt will collect on the laser

windows. Remove any moisture or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use

aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.

Store the SP5 in its case when not in use. Remove batteries before storage

of the instrument.

CARACTERISTIQUES (Fig. A)

Cinq diodes laser séparées créent cinq points très visibles

1. INTERRUPTEUR ON/OFF

Cet interrupteur remplit deux fonctions. Non seulement il permet d’allumer

ou d’éteindre le laser mais il bloque aussi le pendule interne. Lorsque l’inter-

rupteur se trouve en position OFF, un mécanisme bloque le pendule (diodes

laser) pour assurer une protection pendant le transport. Ce mécanisme

“Push & Slide” est conçu pour protéger le pendule et assurer sa durée de

vie sur le chantier.

INDICATION DE HORS-NIVEAU

Lorsque l’instrument est en dehors de son champ d’auto-nivelage, le laser

vous prévient en faisant clignoter rapidement les rayons laser. Dans ce cas

repositionnez le laser plus à niveau.

INDICATION DE BATTERIES A PLAT

Si les rayons laser clignotent quatre fois toutes les huit secondes, vos bat-

teries n’ont plus que 2 heures d’autonomie. La durée moyenne des trois bat-

teries est d’environ 15 heures d’emploi intermittent. C’est une bonne idée

que de mettre dans la mallette un groupe de batteries de rechange grâce à

sa capacité.

2. Accès vis de calibrage.

ACCESSOIRES

Base universelle (Fig. B)

1. Aimants pour fixer l’instrument à des objets métalliques.

2. Fissures pour utiliser la bande de fixage verticalement ou horizontalement.

3. Filets à 1/4”x 20 ou 5/8” x 11 pour trépieds

4. Vis à 1/4" x 20 pour l’SP5
