Before you get started… Before you get started… Intended use The LAP-TEQ Elevation Sensor is designed to determine the correct mounting height for speakers. The LAP-TEQ Elevation Sensor measures the vertical distance between the unit and the surface directly beneath. The measured distance is displayed on a LAP-TEQ Display PLUS or a LAP-TEQ Motion System, to be purchased separately.

For your safety For your safety Warning! Failure to comply with the safety information and instructions can cause electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries. ► Read all safety information and instructions. General safety information Store all safety information and instructions for future reference. The term device used in the safety information refers to mains-powered devices (with a mains cable) and to battery-powered devices (without a mains cable).
If you use the device outdoors, use only extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of damage to the device. LAP-TEQ Elevation...
For your safety About strong magnets Magnets can affect the functioning of pacemakers and implanted defibrillators. If you wear one of these devices, stay out of the direct vicinity of the magnets! The holding force of magnets can weaken. Be aware at all times that a magnet can become demagnetised, causing the unit to fall.
This device is classified as a class 2 laser product in accordance with the international standard IEC 60825. It operates with a visible laser beam, which is not dangerous in normal operation. Do not remove or cover symbols located on your device. Illegible information must be replaced immediately. LAP-TEQ Elevation...

First operation ► Connect the elevation unit (1) to the input “IN”, and the display unit (3) using a standard 3-pin XLR cable (2). There is no limit to the number of elevation units that can be connected successively to a display unit. For example, three elevation units can be used to check the correct orientation of a left and right PA system, as well as a centre cluster.
First operation Connection of a LAP-TEQ Sensor PLUS (optional) ► Mount the LAP-TEQ Sensor PLUS (1) likewise on the flying frame of the magnetic mounting bracket (see operating instructions for LAP-TEQ PLUS). ► Connect the LAP-TEQ Sensor PLUS (1) to the “THRU” socket of the elevation unit (3) by means of a standard 3-pin XLR cable (2).
First operation Fastening the magnetic mounting bracket ► Place the magnetic mounting bracket on the upper edge of the flying frame. ► Use the arrester cable to secure the magnetic mounting bracket on the flying frame against falling down. ► Insert the XLR cable in a loop through the strain relief on the magnetic mounting bracket.
If the system has started up correctly, the red laser lights up and the current distance is displayed. If a LAP-TEQ Sensor PLUS is connected in addition, the current angle reading will be displayed simultaneously. The measurement is refreshed continuously; in unfavourable conditions (cp.
Trigonometric correction / length unit Trigonometric correction / length unit Notice In the factory setting, the length unit is set to “m” (metres). It can be changed to “ft” (feet). Notice In the factory setting, the trigonometric correction is activated. If the elevation unit cannot stabilise freely (e.g.
