Calibrating Your Rotary Laser Levels- What You Must Know
It is always good to go for the best rotary laser level that matches your needs so that calibrations can be a lot easier. Calibrating your laser level correctly will always ensure the accuracy of the result. Not to mention it will also reduce the risks of causing severe damage to your device, especially when it has to overwork itself due to the wrong calibration.
The product manual is always the most straightforward guide to follow to calibrate your device efficiently. You must re-calibrate your rotary laser level for each new operation you go for because not all requirements are the same for every situation.
Steps to Calibrating Your Rotary Laser Level
The first step in calibrating your rotating laser level is to place the device on a flat surface, or a base like a tripod stand within a room with two opposing walls. Place the device an inch from one part of the wall and 20” from another part of the wall. Adjust the device along the vial axis you want to level and make sure the vial points at both walls.
Keep in mind the two screws corresponding to each vial; adjust these screws until the device levels along both axes. You should see both vials showing bubbles that rest between the two black lines. The top 10 rotary laser levels in the market today are self-leveling devices with great accuracy.
Turn on your laser and then mark the points where the beam hits both the far and near walls. Move the laser farther from the wall by 1 inch. Then, level the device and adjust the height so it will hit a different spot from the initial height mark before being adjusted farther. Next, walk over to the wall and measure the difference between the two heights.
If the difference between the initial and final height measurements is equal to your laser level’s accuracy, the device will be properly calibrated. On the other hand, if the difference in height measurement is greater, you need to re-calibrate the device. You need to adjust your rotating laser level to hit the halfway between the two different height marks initially measured, which will be the true level.
Once the calibration is sorted, your next move is to remove the screw cap of the vials with the appropriate tool, then adjust the vials until they become level. Your unit should be fully calibrated and ready for measurements with the last step.
Most times, you have to do these calibrations at the job site, so you need to ensure that the battery is fully charged to handle the pre-work and proper work measurements. A low battery level can lead your device to stop working abruptly, which means you have to recharge it thoroughly and then re-calibrate. This will add lots more to the total time needed to handle your projects.
Hence, it is better to be prepared a day before using the rotating laser level. Are you looking for the correct self leveling rotary laser level? Then read our product guide and review at the Laser Level Hub website for details.
