Frequently Asked Questions - 304302 Brandson

How to turn on the Brandson 304302 laser level?

Briefly press the ON/OFF mode button to turn on the device in locked mode (laser flashes every 5 seconds). To turn it off, press and hold the button for 2-3 seconds.

How to activate self-leveling?

Slide the lock switch to the unlocked position. The device turns off and then automatically turns on in self-leveling mode. The pendulum stabilizes the laser to project a straight line.

What does a permanent flashing of the laser mean?

If the device is tilted beyond its self-leveling range (4° ± 1°), the laser flashes continuously to indicate that it can no longer guarantee a straight line. Reposition the device on a more level surface.

How to switch to manual mode?

Move the lock switch to the locked position. The laser flashes every 5 seconds. You can then tilt the device at different angles to project straight lines.

How to switch between display modes (horizontal, vertical, cross)?

Press the ON/OFF mode button to cycle through modes: horizontal line, vertical line, then both (cross).

How to use outdoor mode to increase brightness?

Set the switch to the unlocked position, then press and hold the ON/OFF mode button for 2 seconds. The laser flashes 5 times to confirm. This mode allows use of a laser detector in bright environments.

What batteries to use and how to change them?

Use two AA 1.5 V batteries. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries observing polarity, then close. The device is then operational.

What is the accuracy of the laser level?

The horizontal and vertical leveling accuracy is ±4.5 mm over a distance of 15 meters.

Can the device be mounted on a tripod?

Yes, the device has a 1/4 inch (20) thread on the mount, compatible with most standard tripods.

How to clean and maintain the laser level?

Use only a dry, soft cloth. Never use harsh cleaning products. Do not immerse the device in water.

General instructions

• By pressing briefly on the ON/OFF/Mode button, the device is switched on in the locked position. The laser flashes every 5 seconds.
• The device can be switched off by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Mode button for approx. 2-3 seconds. It can only be switched off in the locked position.
• When you slide the lock switch to the unlocked position, it switches on automatically. The device is now in self-levelling mode.
• Press the ON/OFF/Mode button repeatedly to navigate through the available modes.
• Always ensure to slide the lock switch as far as it goes in the appropriate position.

Self-levelling mode

- This mode is activated when the lock switch of the device is in "unlocked" position. The pendulum swings along with the laser, thus maintaining the balance to show an ideal straight line.

Caution! If you tilt the device too far and a straight line cannot be guaranteed, the laser starts to flash continuously.

Manual mode

- The manual mode is activated when the lock switch is in the "locked" position, to position the device at various angles and project straight lines. The laser beam flashes every 5 seconds.

Brightness mode

Standard

Is activated as soon as the device is switched on.

Outdoor

The device has to be in "unlocked" position to increase the brightness of the laser. The brightness of the laser can be changed by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/ Mode button for 2 seconds. All the laser beams displayed flash 5 times quickly to warn the user.

Pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Mode button once again for 2 seconds deactivates the outdoor mode. The user is warned again by five flashes.

The brightness of the laser remains the same if the position of the lock switch is changed.

Note: The outdoor mode enables the laser detector to be used in bright surroundings or if the working distances are large.

Laser display modes

You can navigate through the different display modes by pressing the ON/OFF/ Mode button. You have the option to display the horizontal line, vertical line, or both the lines.
