Position Laser
Pick Up The Levels
Place the Laser Level on a fi rm, generally level surface
or screw onto the 5/8” thread of the surveying tripod.
You do not need to independently level the surface or
tripod, but is does need to be within ±5 deg of true horizontal.

Horizontal Levelling (All Spectra Laser Levels)
Power On
Read The Levels
Press the ON/OFF button once and the Laser Level
will power on and begin automatically self-levelling horizontally.
This process takes around 15-20 seconds.
When the levelling process is complete, the laser beam will start
spinning at 600rpm, indicating a level datum.
No other button needs to be pressed for the laser to self level.
When you have established the horizontal datum, you can then
use the mm scale on the rear of the measuring staff (which is
zero mm at ground level) to either measure a uniform distance
down or a uniform distance up, to then set your base level, deck
level, ground level etc.
2.
4.
Clamp the Detector onto the front face of the measuring staff and
face towards the Laser. If you are above the horizontal datum, a
down arrow will be shown. Below the horizontal datum an up
arrow will be shown and when you are completely level or on the
same datum, a horizontal line will be shown on the display.
There is also a corresponding audible tone for high / low and
level.
The following general guidance is applicable to: Spectra LL100N, Spectra HV101, Spectra
LL300N, Spectra LL300S, Spectra HV302, Spectra HV302G & Spectra GL422N.
WARNING
Never operate Laser in front of
glazing or any shiny surfaces!

Vertical Levelling (HV101, HV302, HV302G, GL422N)
Power On
Press the ON/OFF button once and the Laser Level
will power on and begin automatically self-levelling vertically.
This process takes around 15-20 seconds.
When the levelling process is complete, the laser will start
spinning at 600rpm, indicating a vertically level datum.
No other button needs to be pressed for the laser to self level.
2.
Turn the Detector onto it’s side (landscape mode) and face
towards the Laser. The up and down arrows used for horizontal
levelling will then become left and right arrows. The Detector will
accurately pinpoint the vertical datum and the arrows on screen
will indicate which direction to go. When in alignment, it will
display a vertical black line. You can then walk forward of your
position continually marking the datum. This method can be
used instead of a string line or to align a datum on the vertical. e.g. I-section steels, fence posts, timber
frame structures, racking etc.
The following general guidance is only applicable to: Spectra HV101, Spectra HV302, Spectra
HV302G & Spectra GL422N.

90° Squaring (HV101, HV302, HV302G)
Pick Up The Laser Dot
The second part of the 90° is achieved by marking the position of
the red laser dot that is fi red from the centre of the lighthouse.
The laser dot cannot be picked up with your detector.
You need a target plate. Our recommendation is to use a
small piece of around 300mm long white contiplas board,
6-9” wide or similar. Using a black marker pen, draw a
vertical line down the middle of the board. The white

With the Laser prism now spinning (like the wheel of a car), turn
the Detector onto it’s side (landscape mode) and face towards
the Laser. The up and down arrows used for horizontal
levelling will then become left and right arrows. The Detector
will accurately pinpoint the vertical datum and the arrows on
screen will indicate which direction to go. When in alignment it
will display a vertical black line. You can then walk up to 250m
forward of your position continually marking the datum. When this is complete, you will have marked out
the fi rst part of the 90° and you can now return to the laser to begin setting out the second part.
surface is an ideal target to “pick-up” the red dot at distance, even in bright sunlight. Hold the
end face of the target board down onto the ground, align the dot onto the black line and mark
the position accordingly at appropriate intervals. This has set 90 degree squaring. If you had
an aerial or top down view, you would see a perfectly set out “L” shape or corner without using a
Set Square or 3/4/5 Triangle calculation.
User Tip
Please see page 15 for a more in depth guide to 90° Squaring.
The following general guidance is only applicable to:
