Automatic Levelling
Working with Automatic Levelling
Position the measuring tool on a level and firm 
support, attach it to the holder 19 or to the tri-
pod 21.
When working with automatic levelling, push 
the On/Off switch 7 to the 
 
on” position. 
After switching on, the levelling function auto-
matically compensates irregularities within the 
self-levelling range of ±4°. The levelling is fin-
ished as soon as the laser beams do not move 
any more.
If automatic levelling is not possible, e.g. be-
cause the surface on which the measuring tool 
stands deviates by more than 4° from the hori-
zontal plane, the laser lines begin to flash rapid-
ly. When the audio signal is activated, a fast-beat 
signal sounds for 30 s (maximum). This alarm is 
deactivated within 10 s after switching on, in or-
der to allow adjustment of the measuring tool. 
Set up the measuring tool in level position and 
wait for the self-levelling to take place. As soon 
as the measuring tool is within the self-levelling 
range of ±4°, all laser beams light up continu-
ously and the audio signal is switched off.
In case of ground vibrations or position changes 
during operation, the measuring tool is automat-
ically levelled in again. To avoid errors, check 
the position of the horizontal and vertical laser 
line with regard to the reference points upon re-
levelling.
Working without Automatic Levelling
For working without automatic levelling, slide 
the On/Off switch 7 to the “   on” position. 
When automatic levelling is switched off, indica-
tor 6 lights up red and for the first 30 s laser 
beams flash slowly.
When the automatic levelling is switched off, the 
measuring tool can be held by hand or placed on 
an inclined surface. In cross-line operation, the 
two laser lines do not necessarily run at a right 
angle to each other.
Levelling Accuracy
Influences on Accuracy
The ambient temperature has the greatest influ-
ence. Especially temperature differences occur-
ring from the ground upward can divert the laser 
beam.
Because the largest difference in temperature 
layers is close to the ground, the measuring tool 
should always be mounted on a tripod when 
measuring distances exceeding 20 m. If possi-
ble, also set up the measuring tool in the centre 
of the work area.
Apart from exterior influences, device-specific 
influences (such as heavy impact or falling 
down) can lead to deviations. Therefore, check 
the accuracy of the measuring tool each time be-
fore starting your work.
Firstly, check the levelling accuracy of the hori-
zontal laser line and then the levelling accuracy 
of the vertical laser line.
Should the measuring tool exceed the maximum 
deviation during one of the tests, please have it 
repaired by a Bosch after-sales service.
