PACIFIC LASER SYSTEMS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PACIFIC LASER SYSTEMS from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy of Pacific Laser Systems cross-line laser levels?
Pacific Laser Systems cross-line laser levels, such as the PLS 180R RBP KIT and PLS 6G RBP KIT, have an accuracy of ±1/8 in at 30 ft. This specification applies to the self-leveling range. The pendulum self-leveling mechanism ensures the lines and dots are level and plumb within this tolerance when the tool is set up on a stable surface. For critical alignment tasks, it is recommended to verify the calibration periodically. The accuracy is consistent across both red and green beam models in the PLS line.
What is the difference between the red and green beam Pacific Laser Systems laser levels?
The primary difference is beam color, which affects visibility. Green beam models, such as the PLS 180G RBP KIT and PLS 6G RBP KIT, are generally more visible in bright conditions and over longer distances. Red beam models, such as the PLS 180R RBP KIT and PLS 6R RBP KIT, are suitable for general indoor use where ambient light is controlled. Both types project 2 lines and 4 dots with the same accuracy of ±1/8 in at 30 ft. The choice depends on the work environment and user preference. Green beam lasers may consume slightly more power, but both are available with Li-Ion or alkaline battery options.
Which batteries and chargers are compatible with Pacific Laser Systems laser levels?
The Pacific Laser Systems PLS RBP5 battery and charger unit, PLS RBP5 single-pack rechargeable battery, and PLS RBC5 battery charger are compatible with PLS 3, 5, 6, and 180 series laser levels. The battery operates at 3.6V and has an overall height of 4 3/16 inches. The charger includes an adapter for connection to the laser level. When ordering, confirm the specific laser level model to ensure compatibility. These accessories allow cordless operation and recharging for repeated use. The battery and charger are available as separate items or as a combined unit.
What is included in a Pacific Laser Systems cross-line laser kit?
Pacific Laser Systems cross-line laser kits, such as the PLS 180R RBP KIT, PLS 180G RBP KIT, PLS 6R RBP KIT, and PLS 6G RBP KIT, typically include the laser level, a target for enhanced visibility, and a floor stand. Some kits include a Li-Ion battery and charger, while others are powered by alkaline batteries. The exact contents vary by kit. For example, the PLS 6R RBP KIT includes a Li-Ion battery and floor stand. The PLS 180R RBP KIT includes a target and is powered by alkaline batteries. Always refer to the specific kit's description for included accessories.
Can Pacific Laser Systems laser levels be used outdoors?
Pacific Laser Systems laser levels are primarily designed for indoor use. The red and green beams may not be visible in direct sunlight. For outdoor applications, a detector or target may be required to locate the beam. The included target in some kits aids visibility. The self-leveling mechanism works within a specified range, and the tool should be set up on a stable surface. While not rated for outdoor weather conditions, they can be used in sheltered outdoor areas. For best results, use in low-ambient-light conditions or with a beam detector.
