Construction Laser Troubleshooting Tips from Lascolaser.com

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Lasco Inc. Laser & Instrument Co. has a few troubleshooting ideas that could help you get your construction laser up and running.  Lasco Inc. Laser & Instrument Co.  is both a warranty and non-warranty repair center for many of the major laser and optical manufacturers.  Our repair department has been keeping your equipment in the field for over 30 years.  The equipment that you buy is supposed to make you money not cost you money. These troubleshooting ideas can help you get your laser back on track.

The laser will not operate, there is no obvious damage – If the low battery indicator is on, or you suspect the batteries may be dead, replace the batteries.  Check the battery contacts to be sure that they are clean.

The receiver shows an on-grade at two different heights – Check the jobsite for windows or mirrored surfaces that might be reflecting the laser and causing the other reading.  Check for others on the site using a rotary laser.

The laser was knocked over – Visually check the optics for damage.  Inspect the laser for any other physical damage.  Use the receiver to check that the laser is transmitting.  Check the calibration and adjust as needed.  Check to see that the laser displays the “limit” light when the circular level vial bubble moves approximately half way outside the circle.

The laser only works at short distances – Check the output windows for heavy dust or moisture.  Remove dust with a camera brush or blow off gently with clean compressed air. Allow moisture to dry.

The receiver does not indicate “on grade” at long distance – Be sure you are within the max distance specification from the laser.  Check the windows that surround the rotating mirror on the laser for dust or moisture. Remove dust with a camera brush or blow off gently with clean compressed air.  Allow moisture to dry.
