5. Installation
5.1 Installation de la batterie
- Locate the battery drawer on the side of the laser unit.
- Open the battery drawer and insert the required D-type batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery drawer securely.
5.2 Mounting the Laser on the Tripod
- Extend the legs of the BST-S construction tripod to a stable position.
- Place the Stabila LAR 160 G laser unit onto the tripod head, aligning the 5/8" x 11 thread.
- Securely fasten the laser unit to the tripod by turning the tripod's mounting screw.
- Adjust the tripod height as needed for your application.

5.3 Positionnement du laser
Place the tripod with the laser unit on a firm, level surface. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions that could interfere with the laser beam.
6. Mode d'emploi
6.1 Power On/Off and Self-Leveling
- Appuyez sur le Marche/Arrêt button (marked with a power symbol) to power on the device.
- The laser will automatically begin its self-leveling process. This typically takes about 20 seconds.
- Once leveled, the laser beam will rotate continuously.
- Pour éteindre, appuyez sur le Marche/Arrêt Appuyez à nouveau sur le bouton.
6.2 Laser Functions
The LAR 160 G supports four primary laser functions:
- Rotation horizontale: For creating a level plane across a large area. This is the default mode after self-leveling.
- Rotation verticale : Mount the laser vertically using the side 5/8" thread. The laser will project a vertical plane.
- Plumb-Line Function: In vertical operation, the laser can project a plumb-line (vertical point) for alignment.
- Square (90°) Function: In vertical operation, the laser can project a second beam at 90 degrees to the main vertical plane for squaring applications.
6.3 Tilt Mode
The tilt mode allows for manual slope setting. Press the Inclinaison button (labeled 'tilt') to activate. In this mode, the laser will maintain its current angle even if the device is slightly disturbed, but it will not self-level. Use this for setting specific grades.
6.4 Mode manuel
Appuyez sur le Manuel button (labeled 'man') to disable self-leveling and manually adjust the laser plane. This is useful for specific non-level applications or when working with a grade rod for slope calculations.
6.5 Using the REC 160 R/G Receiver
For outdoor use or when the laser beam is not visible, use the REC 160 R/G receiver:
- Allumez le récepteur.
- Move the receiver into the path of the rotating laser beam.
- The receiver will indicate when it detects the laser beam, typically with visual and audible signals.
- Adjust the receiver's position until the center indicator is active, marking the exact level.
6.6 Using the Hi/Lo Elevation Rod
The elevation rod is used in conjunction with the receiver to measure and transfer heights:
- Attach the REC 160 R/G receiver to the elevation rod.
- Étendez la tige à la hauteur désirée.
- Use the receiver to find the laser plane on the rod, then read the measurement.
7. Entretien
7.1 Nettoyage
Essuyez l'appareil avec un chiffon doux, damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solvents. Ensure the laser optics are clean and free of dust for optimal performance.
7.2 Entretien de la batterie
Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears or performance degrades.
7.3 Stockage
Store the laser set in its hard shell carrying case in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
