Before you get started… Before you get started… Intended use With LAP-TEQ PLUS you can measure the inclination of speaker systems. LAP-TEQ PLUS measures the horizontal angle between its longitudinal axis and the earth’s surface. This provides information on the horizontal orientation of the speaker element.

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 PLUS...
For your safety Human safety Be attentive, pay attention to what you are doing, and use common sense while working. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications. One moment of carelessness during use of the device can result in serious injuries.
Do not allow the device to fall or expose it to shocks. The device or parts of it can become damaged from falling, bending or deformation. Magnetic fields can cause the device to malfunction or the battery to discharge. LAP-TEQ PLUS...

Description of product A complete LAP-TEQ PLUS angle measuring system consists of a display unit and at least one sensor unit. The sensor unit is designed for mounting on the topmost element of a line array or of the bumper and measures the horizontal angle between its longitudinal axis and the earth’s surface.
First operation First operation Charging the battery The battery must be charged before using the device for the first time. If no charger is connected, the display will show the charge state of the battery when the device is switched on. Attention! Danger of damage to device ►...

However, the measuring function will not be affected. For a distance greater than 75 m, you must use an XLR cable with a larger cross section than 0.22 mm². This will reduce the voltage drop along the cable route. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
For secure mounting on a bumper without a special LAP-TEQ holder, you can use the optional TEQSAS LAP-TEQ magnetic holder. The sensor must be bolted firmly to the flying frame or secured by suitable means against falling. First operation The sensor units are calibrated at the factory so that the base plate has to be oriented downward.
Instead, a short guide to calibration is displayed. The display automatically switches back to the angle measurement after a few seconds. ► Power off: Press the “Power” button again. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
Operation Display texts If no cable or sensor unit or a defective cable is connected to the display unit, the warning “no sensor” appears on the display when the display unit is switched on: Establish a correct connection between the display unit and the sensor unit.
► Avoid scouring movements on the display and the glass pane that closes the laser beam exit opening. ► Never use chemicals, cleaning agents or solvents. This can cause discolouration and corrosion on the outside of the device or can result in electric shock or fire. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
Malfunctions and troubleshooting Malfunctions and troubleshooting Caution! Danger of injury! Unauthorised repairs can have the result that your device no longer functions safely. That endangers yourself and your environment. Malfunctions are often caused by minor errors. Usually you can remedy them yourself.
Measurements through glass or plastic panes Dirty laser beam exit opening High temperature deviations: Before using in a very hot or cold environment, allow the device to adjust to the ambient temperature while in the transport case. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
Calibration Calibration Notice The sensor unit is calibrated at the factory for operation with the base plate oriented downward. To operate the sensor with a different orientation of the base plate (upward, or to the left or right), it must be calibrated in the desired position.
Page 25
If “Sens pos incorrect” appears on the display, please check the orientation of the base plate. If the procedure is correct, “don’t move” appears on the display, followed by a numerical value for “A” and the question “calibrte 0.0° B?” LAP-TEQ PLUS...
Page 26
Calibration Step 4 ► Turn the sensor unit so that the laser beam exit points to the right. ► Press the “CAL” button again to start calibration in direction “B”. Again, “don’t move” appears on the display, followed by a numerical value for “B”...

8! To exit calibration mode, power off the display unit by pressing the “Power” button. When it is switched on again – without pressing the “CAL” button – the device is again in normal operating mode. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
Page 28
Calibration Step 8 If you wish to operate the sensor unit with the base plate in a different position, the calibration process must be continued. The sequence of the four possible positions is defined as follows (when viewing the XLR plug from the sensor unit): Orientation Display text Base plate down (factory calibration)
High temperatures can cause malfunctioning of the display, damage to the device or explosion of the battery. ► Do not store the device in very hot locations such as the inside of a car in summer or at locations with exposure to direct sunlight. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
Disposal Disposal The packaging consists of environmentally friendly materials that can be disposed of at your local recycling centre. Devices that are marked with the symbol opposite are not to be disposed of with the household trash. You under obligation to dispose of such electrical and electronic devices separately.
If the battery is defective, it can be replaced by a service shop. In this case please contact your sales partner. ► Remove the caps on the display unit with a small screwdriver. ► Unscrew screws (1). ► Disconnect cable (2). ► Remove battery (3) and dispose of properly. LAP-TEQ PLUS...
