Pipe Lasers

The accuracy of a pipe laser depends in part on proper care and maintenance by the operator. A builder who leaves a Leica pipe laser outside of its case and fails to replace batteries on time may find himself without an accurate laser on an important job. Manufacturers like Leica recommend several troubleshooting methods for operators who want to ensure their pipe lasers will last for years.

Every builder and land surveyor should look at the laser’s display before troubleshooting mechanical problems. These displays have evolved from simple grade indicators to elaborate monitors that tell the operator about necessary maintenance. Operators should learn to read symbols and numbers on the display to determine if troubleshooting steps are needed.

Fix Issues With Pipe Lasers

One reason for a failing pipe laser is low battery power. Every surveying and building team should have plenty of spare batteries on hand to keep the equipment running. Most builders are beginning to buy portable battery chargers that allow recharging while on the job.

Some builders may notice jumbled readings on a pipe laser’s monitor due to a failing reader. It is critical for an operator to run the reader past the laser on occasion. This simple test can point out dirt and debris collected on equipment that causes inaccuracies.
