2 Description

2.1 Use of the product as directed

The Hilti PR 30-HVS is a rotating laser tool with a visible rotating laser beam and a reference beam set at 90° to the

main beam. The rotating laser can be used vertically, horizontally and for inclined planes.

The tool is designed to be used to determine, transfer and check levels, verticals, slopes and right angles. Examples of

its uses are: transferring datums and height marks, determining right angles for walls, vertical alignment on reference

points and setting out slopes.

The tool is designed for professional use and may be operated, serviced and maintained only by trained, authorized

personnel. This personnel must be informed of any special hazards that may be encountered. The tool and its ancillary

equipment may present hazards when used incorrectly by untrained personnel or when used not as directed.

Hilti supplies various accessories which allow the tool to be used with maximum efficiency.

To avoid the risk of injury, use only genuine Hilti accessories and insert tools.

Observe the information printed in the operating instructions concerning operation, care and maintenance.

Take the influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not use the appliance where there is a risk of fire or

explosion.

Modification of the tool is not permissible.

2.2 Features

Thetoolmakesitpossibleforasinglepersontoleveloraligninanyplanequickly and with great accuracy.

The tool levels itself automatically after switching on. The laser beam is emitted only when the specified accuracy has

been achieved.

LEDs indicate the current operating status.

The tool is powered by a rechargeable Li‑ion battery which can be charged while the tool is in operation.

2.3 Combined use of the PRA 30 remote control / laser receiver

The PRA 30 is a combined remote control unit and laser receiver. It can be used to control the PR 30-HVS rotating

laser over great distances. The PRA 30 also serves as a laser receiver and can thus be used to detect and indicate the

laser beam at great distance.

2.4 Digital distance measurement display

The laser receiver displays digitally the distance between the laser plane and the marking notch. This allows the user to

determine the exact position of the receiver relative to the laser plane, with millimeter accuracy, in a single operation.

2.5 Automatic alignment and surveillance

Using the PR 30-HVS and the PRA 30, a person working alone can align the laser plane automatically with a certain

point with great accuracy. The tool detects the applicable alignment (horizontal, inclined or vertical) automatically and

uses the automatic alignment function accordingly (horizontal with the PRA 90 plus inclination) or automatic alignment

with subsequent monitoring of the plane (vertical). With the aid of the PRA 30, the surveillance function checks

alignment of the laser plane at regular intervals in order to avoid possible deviations due to temperature fluctuations,

wind or similar. The surveillance function can be deactivated.

2.6 Digital inclination display with patented electronic inclination alignment

The digital inclination display is capable of indicating an inclination of up to 21.3% when the PR 30-HVS is operating in

inclined mode. This makes it possible to set out and check slopes without having to make any calculations. Electronic

inclination alignment allows optimum inclination accuracy.

2.7 Shock warning

The shock warning function is activated two minutes after the tool has leveled itself after switching on. If a button

is pressed within these two minutes, the two-minute delay begins again. The tool switches to warning mode if it is

brought out of level while in operation (due to vibration or an impact); all LEDs begin to blink and the laser switches

off (the head stops rotating).

2.8 Automatic cut-out

The laser does not switch on and all LEDs blink if the tool is set up outside its self-leveling range (±5°) or if movement

is blocked mechanically.

The tool can be set up on a tripod with a 5/8" thread or stood directly on some other steady surface (free of vibration).

When automatic leveling is activated for one or both axes, the built-in servo system ensures that the specified accuracy

is maintained. The tool switches itself off when automatic leveling cannot be achieved (tool set up outside its leveling

range or physical impediment of the mechanism) or when knocked off level (see “Shock warning” section).

NOTE

If the correct level cannot be achieved, the laser switches itself off and all LEDs blink.

5 Safety instructions

5.1 Basic information concerning safety

In addition to the information relevant to safety given

in each of the sections of these operating instructions,

the following points must be strictly observed at all

times.

5.2 General safety rules

a) Do not render safety devices ineffective and do

not remove information and warning notices.

b) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating the machine. Don’t

use the machine when you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Amo-

ment of inattention while operating machines may

result in serious personal injury.

c) Keep laser tools out of reach of children.

d) Failure to follow the correct procedures when open-

ing the tool may cause emission of laser radiation in

excess of class 2 or, respectively, class 3. Have the

tool repaired only at a Hilti service center.

e) Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases or dust. Tools and appliances create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

f) (Statement in accordance with FCC §15.21):

Changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the manufacturer can void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

g) Use of setting-up / adjusting devices and equipment

or operating procedures other than those specified in

these instructions may lead to exposure to hazardous

radiation.

h) Check the condition of the tool before use. If the

tool is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a

Hilti service center.

i) Maintain the machine carefully. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect

the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the

machine repaired before use. Poor maintenance is

the cause of many accidents.

j) The user must check the accuracy of the tool

after it has been dropped or subjected to other

mechanical stresses.

k) Check the tool before using it for important mea-

suring work.

l) Check the accuracy of the measurements several

times during use of the tool.

m) When the tool is brought into a warm environment

from very cold conditions, or vice-versa, allow it

to become acclimatized before use.

n) If mounting on an adapter, check that the tool is

screwed on securely.

o) Keep the laser exit aperture clean to avoid mea-

surement errors.

p) Although the tool is designed for the tough con-

ditions of jobsite use, as with other optical and

electronic instruments (e.g. binoculars, specta-

cles, cameras) it should be treated with care.

q) Although the tool is protected to prevent entry

of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time

before being put away in its transport container.

r) Keep the electrical contacts dry (protect from rain

or dampness).

s) Use the AC adapter only for connecting to the AC

supply.

t) Check to ensure that the tool and AC adapter do

not present an obstacle that could lead to a risk

of tripping and personal injury.

u) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.

v) Check the condition of the extension cord and

replace it if damage is found. Do not touch the AC

adapter if the extension cord or AC adapter are

damaged while working. Disconnect the supply

cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged supply

en

7

Printed: 29.11.2013 | Doc-Nr: PUB / 5145249 / 000 / 01

cords or extension cords present a risk of electric

shock.

w) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

x) Do not expose the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp

edges.

y) Never operate the AC adapter when it is dirty or

wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive ma-

terials) or dampness adhering to the surface of

the AC adapter may, under unfavorable condi-

tions, lead to electric shock. Dirty or dusty tools

should thus be checked at a Hilti Service Center

at regular intervals, especially if used frequently

for working on conductive materials.

z) Avoid touching the contacts.

5.2.1 Battery tool use and care

a) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or

fire. This presents a risk of explosion.

b) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat-

teries and do not subject them to temperatures

over 80°C (176°F). A risk of fire, explosion or in-

jury through contact with caustic substances may

otherwise result.

c) Avoid ingress of moisture. Moisture in the interior

of the tool may cause a short circuit and chemical

reactions resulting in burns to the skin or fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may leak from the

battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. In the event of the liquid

coming into contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes

with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use batteries other than those approved

for use with the applicable tool or appliance. Use

of other batteries or use of the battery for purposes

for which it is not intended presents a risk of fire and

explosion.

f) Observe the special instructions applicable to the

transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.

g) When not in use, keep the battery and the charger

away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws

or other small metal objects that could cause a

short circuit at the battery terminals or the charg-

ing contacts. A short circuit at the battery terminals

or charging contacts could result in personal injury

(burns) or fire.

h) Avoid short-circuiting the battery.Before inserting

the battery in the tool, check that the terminals of

the battery and the tool are free from foreign objects.

Short-circuiting the battery terminals presents a risk

of fire, explosion or contact with caustic substances.

i) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-

teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,

bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).

j) Use only the PUA 81 AC adapter, PUA 82 motor

vehicle power adapter or other chargers recom-

mended by the manufacturer to power the tool or

charge the battery. Failure to observe these points

may result in damage to the tool. Use of a charger

with batteries other than the specific type(s) for which

it is designed presents a risk of fire.

5.3 Proper organization of the work area

a) Secure the area in which you are working and

take care to avoid directing the beam towards

other persons or towards yourself when setting

up the tool.

b) Avoid unfavorable body positions when working

from ladders. Make sure you work from a safe

stance and stay in balance at all times.

c) Readings taken in the vicinity of reflective objects or

surfaces, through panes of glass or similar materials

may produce incorrect results.

d) Ensure that the tool is set up on a steady, level

surface (not subject to vibration).

e) Use the tool only within its specified limits.

f) Make sure that your PR 30-HVS is responding only

to your PRA 30 and not to other PRA 30s that may

be in use on the jobsite.

g) When working in “charging during operation”

mode, attach the mains adapter in a secure posi-

tion,e.g.onatripod.

h) When working in “charging during operation”

mode, attach the AC adapter in a secure posi-

tion,e.g.onatripod.

i) Use of products for applications different from those

intended could result in hazardous situations. Use

the product and its accessories etc. in accor-

dance with these instructions and in the manner

intended for the particular type of product. Take

the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed into account.

j) Use of the telescopic staff in the vicinity of over-

head high voltage cables is not permissible.

5.3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility

Although the tool complies with the strict requirements

of the applicable directives, Hilti cannot entirely rule out

the possibility of the tool being subject to interference

caused by powerful electromagnetic radiation, leading

to incorrect operation. Check the accuracy of the tool

by taking measurements by other means when working

under such conditions or if you are unsure. Likewise, Hilti

cannot rule out the possibility of interference with other

devices (e.g. aircraft navigation equipment).

5.3.2 Laser classification for Laser Class 2 / Class

II appliances

strikes the detection area of the laser receiver, the beam moves to the position of the marking notch (reference

plane).

After the position has been reached and the rotating laser has leveled itself, a signal tone with a duration of 5

seconds indicates that the process is complete. The “Automatic alignment” symbol is then also no longer shown.

3. Check the height settings in the display.

4. Remove the laser receiver.

NOTE If the automatic alignment process was not successful, short signal tones are emitted and the “Automatic

alignment” symbol goes out.
