II. Structural Features and Operating Principle
1 .Structural features:
The instrument integrates the power supply module, optics, and precision mechanics into a single unit, featuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance, compact size, and lightweight construction.
Instrument coarse adjustment uses 360° Rotatable locking mechanism; installation employs a fixed locking device, enabling convenient and rapid instrument fixation. The instrument, via a fine-adjustment mechanism, can be adjusted to no less than ±1.5° Make fine horizontal and vertical adjustments within the range.
2 .Working principle:
Connect the instrument to the supply voltage. AC127V Subsequently, the power supply module converts the input power into a DC voltage to supply the laser tube, generating a laser beam. This beam is then directed over long distances via an optical system, with respective ranges reaching 500 Rice.

IV. Installation, Adjustment, and Use

1 .Installation
( 1 ) The instrument is equipped with test cables.
( 2 ) Before installing and using the instrument, please adjust the leveling screws. 2 , horizontal locking screw 2 Remove it (note the internal spring—exercise caution), then disconnect the mining-grade waterproof test cable. Thread a mining-grade waterproof cable of appropriate length through the compression screw, connect the rear cover to the instrument’s wiring terminals (ensuring correct terminal connections), and reassemble the leveling adjustment screw in its original sequence. 2 , horizontal locking screw 2。
( 3 ) Installation of Instruments and Anchor Bolts
As shown in the figure. The mounting holes for the instrument mounting plate are 12mm, Pre-positioned at the center of the tunnel roof, with a distance of 158mm and 56mm At both ends, drive in four rods with a diameter less than 12mm Install self-made threaded anchor bolts (length does not affect on-site construction). On each anchor bolt, fit a nut and a washer up to the upper portion of the thread, then align the instrument’s mounting plate with the anchor bolt and insert it. Finally, tighten the upper and lower nuts and washers on the anchor bolt to securely clamp and fix the mounting plate.
2 .Adjustment and use
Connect the mining-grade waterproof cable in accordance with the voltage requirements specified on the nameplate. Then, energize the system to illuminate the laser. Aim the laser beam at the approximate target location. Next, make precise adjustments based on the accurate azimuth and elevation angles determined by the theodolite: adjust the elevation adjustment screw to set the vertical angle, and loosen the horizontal locking screw. 1,2 ; Adjust the instrument's leveling screw 1,2 This allows you to adjust the instrument’s horizontal angle; once the light spot is accurately aligned with the target point, tighten the horizontal locking screw. 1,2。
Please note: The instrument is factory-calibrated to ensure the spot size is within the specified range, so no on-site adjustment is required. If adjustment is necessary, please follow the procedures outlined in the troubleshooting section.
