Calibration Overview - Agatec A510S Mode D'emploi

Check and calibrate in this order:
Check both sides of X axis.
• If X is within spec, proceed to check both sides of Y.
• If X needs calibration, calibrate X
Check both sides of Y axis.
• If Y is within spec, proceed to final X to Y check
• If Y needs calibration, calibrate Y; proceed to X to Y check
Final X to Y check: compare X, X', Y, Y'
Check Z and calibrate if necessary.

4.1 Calibration overview

Calibration is electronic, using the TL25 remote control or the
detector. The keypad of the laser may also be used, but it will take
longer due to the laser making self-adjustments during movement.
If the beam is visible, calibrate using the non-rotating point. If it's
too bright to see the beam, you'll use the detector and will need to
have the beam rotating. When you're in calibration mode, press
the scan key on the detector to rotate the beam.
The axis LED should blink slowly when in calibration mode. When
the laser is self-leveling or making an adjustment, the LED will blink
rapidly.
IMPORTANT:
When pressing an arrow key to move the beam for calibration, use
short, rapid clicks. Do not hold the key down. One click will move
16
the beam a very small amount (1/32" at 150' or 1mm at 100
meters). After pressing the key, the LED will blink rapidly as the
laser reacts. Wait until the LED returns to a slow blink to proceed.
4.2 Checking X axis
1. Place the laser on a flat surface or tripod 100 ft. (30 m)
away from a wall. Position so that X (noted on top of laser) is
facing the wall.
2. Turn on the laser.
3. Mark the location of the center of the beam. If it's too bright
to see the beam, use a detector, or put in scan mode.
4. Rotate the laser 180 degrees so that X faces the wall.
5. Mark the location of the center of the beam near the first
mark so that both marks are in line, one above the other.
6. At 100 ft., the marks should be no more than 1/4" apart (at
30m, no more than 6 mm apart). This is within the stated accu-
racy of ± 1/8" at 100 ft. (± 0.010%).
7. If the marks are close enough, X axis is within calibration.
The second axis (Y) must then be checked (see later section).
If the marks are not close enough, the X axis needs to be cali-
brated.
4.3 Calibrating X axis
The laser must be calibrated to bring the beam to the center of
the two X marks.Read "Calibration Overview" before proceeding.
1. Turn off the laser.
2. While keeping "Man" (19) pressed, turn on the laser (17).
3. After the 3 LEDs blink in sequence, release Man key.
4. The X LED (20) will blink rapidly for a bit and then slowly,
indicating it's ready to be calibrated in X axis.
5. If you have not moved the laser, use the X marks made in
previous steps of "Checking X axis". If you need a rotating
beam for the detector, press the scan key.
6. Use the arrow keys to move the beam up or down to the
halfway mark. If the X axis is toward the wall with the marks,
use the key to raise the beam, and the > key
< (13)
lower the beam. (If X' faces the wall, the movement is the
opposite).
