6. Getting started

1. Fully charge the battery with the charger.

2. Open the battery compartment cover.

3. Insert the battery with the correct orientation.

4. Close the battery compartment cover.

5. The voltage of the device is continuously monitored. If the residual capacity drops below 3.4V,

the laser will switch to low-power mode; all the functionalities will still be provided:

if the laser is carrying out the self-levelling process, the red/green LEDs will ﬂash at the same time

if the self-levelling process is completed, the green LED will be continuously illuminated and the red

LED will ﬂash. The laser will switch o automatically if the residual capacity is less

than 3.0V.

6. If the device is not used for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store in a dry

place (see Chap. 9/Maintenance, storage and transport).

7. Operation

7.1 EVO 360

Switching the laser on/o

Position the laser horizontally or vertically on a stable platform, or mount it at the desired height onto a

tripod or column/wall bracket using the 5/8" tripod connector.

On: Press the >ON/OFF< button.

O: Press the >ON/OFF< button again.

The laser always starts in the automatic self-levelling mode.

The device is levelled, if the laser beam is lit and the levelling indicator no longer ﬂashes.

The levelling status display is continuously illuminated.

If the laser is tilted by more than 5° (self-levelling range), the status/battery voltage display will be

continuously illuminated red.

Then realign the laser.

If the laser is levelled for more than 30seconds in the horizontal or vertical mode, the tilt alarm for device

height monitoring (height-alarm) will be activated. If the laser is disrupted afterwards (for example the

tripod is bumped) and the height of the laser beam is altered during the re-levelling, the height-alarm will

switch o the laser and the rotor, and the levelling status and status/battery voltage display will light up.

To clear the height-alarm, press the ON-OFF button once. After the laser has levelled itself again,

check the original reference height.

7.2 Applications

The EVO 360 is an easy-to-use, self-levelling laser device which can be used by one or more people to

perform accurate horizontal and vertical measurements with the help of a receiver device. The aim is to

describe a possible application in greater detail, using the construction operation as an example.

Building construction

1. The device height (HI) is the height of the laser beam.

2. It is determined by adding the measuring rod reading to a height marking or a known elevation.

3. Set-up of the laser and positioning the measuring rod with the receiver on a known

height or reference peg (NN).

4. Align the receiver so it is positioned at the height of the laser beam.

5. Add the measuring rod reading to the known NN height to determine the laser height.

Example:

NN height = 5m

Rod reading = +1.32m

Laser height = 6.32m

Use the laser height as the reference for all other height measurements.

8. Checking the accuracy

Check the accuracy of the SOLA EVO 360 before each measurement.

Before starting the check, let the device acclimatise to the ambient conditions.

1. Position the laser 30m away from a wall and allow it to

level itself horizontally.

2. Move the receiver up and down until the +Y-axis is posi-

tioned at the height of the laser beam. Use the marking notch

as a reference and mark the height on the wall.

3. Rotate the laser by 180° (the -Y-axis must be facing the

wall) and allow it to re-level itself.

4. Move the receiver up and down until the -Y-axis is posi-

tioned at the height of the laser beam. Use the marking notch

as a reference and mark the height on the wall.

5. Measure the dierence between the two marks. The laser

must be calibrated if the dierence is greater than 6mm at a

distance of 30m.

6. After adjusting the Y-axis, rotate the laser by 90°. Repeat

the steps 2–5, and start with the +X-axis pointing towards

the wall.

9. Maintenance, storage and transportation

9.1 Cleaning

Wipe o the dirt with a soft damp cloth.

Check the outlet openings of the laser regularly, and thoroughly clean them if necessary. Do not touch

the glass with your ﬁngers.

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.

Do not immerse the device in water!

Clean and dry wet equipment, accessories and transport containers prior to packaging them. Only

pack equipment again when it is completely dry.

Keep plug connections clean and protected from moisture.

9.2 Storage

9.2.1 General

The equipment must only be stored within the speciﬁed temperature limits

(see Chapter 3/Technical data).

(see Chapter 8/Checking the levelling accuracy)

9.3.2 Batteries

When transporting or shipping batteries, the operator is responsible for complying with the applicable

national and international laws and regulations.

Before shipping, remove the rechargeable battery from the device.

In principle, Li-ion batteries are subject to requirements for dangerous goods; nonetheless,

they can be transported by the user by road without any further requirements.

For dispatch via third parties (e.g. shipping companies or air freight), certain requirements for

packaging and labelling must be observed.

Remove battery from the device and send in storage condition (80% capacity). Mask

open contacts.
