- Readout of height difference in mm
- Multi display with three displays: a large, illuminated graphic display on the operating side and two additional displays on the reception side, angled for optimum readability from all directions
- SmartControl operating concept for particularly simple and intuitive operation
- MagFix: detachable heavy-duty rod clamp with magnetic attachment to the COMMANDER 3
- Indication on the display either with arrows or the position of the detected laser beam
- Robust keypad
- Bright LED display on the reception side
- Complete remote control of the PRIMUS 3 (except PRIMUS 3 H)
- Supplied as a standard with “Heavy-Duty” rod clamp made of aluminum
- MagFix magnetic fastener for tool-free attachment of the COMMANDER 3 to the “Heavy-Duty” rod clamp
- Level for easy alignment
- Automatic shut-off
Multi-Display
COMMANDER 3 features an unique multy-display concept, which comprises a total of three displays:
A large, graphical display with illumination is located on the operating side of the COMMANDER 3. Not only are all operating states of the PRIMUS 3 visualized here, but the deviation of the laser level from the zero line of the laser receiver is also displayed directly in mm.
On the reception side of the COMMANDER 3, in addition to the 120 mm receiver field, there are two further displays arranged at an angle. These displays make it easy to read the laser receiver from the left and right. Shadowing of the laser beam by the user is avoided by reading from the side. Of course, the difference in height is also visualized directly in mm on the two displays on the reception side.
In addition to the common mm and arrow display, the detected laser beam can also be visualized directly by a line on the COMMANDER 3 display using the Real Laser View display. This is particularly intuitive for many applications.
Intelligent functions: time-saving
PRIMUS 3 has numerous intelligent functions, all of which have been developed with the aim of saving time on the construction site and therefore working even more efficiently. It goes without saying that these innovative and practical functions are simple and intuitive to operate.
The key to these functions is the Magic Button on the COMMANDER 3.
Depending on whether PRIMUS 3 is in horizontal or vertical mode, only the functions that make sense for this operating mode are available. This ensures easy handling at all times.
The slope range:
enormous
The slope range of ± 15% for the PRIMUS 3 H1N, H2N and HVA2N slope laser models is outstanding.
± 15% inclination is possible simultaneously in each axis without pre-inclination of the laser.
The mechanics of the laser are designed in such a way that the pivot point of the two swivel axes of the construction laser is located in the optical center of the rotating prism. This sounds complicated, but
has the advantage that more accurate results are achieved in dualslope operation.
Naturally, the PRIMUS 3 H1N, H2N and HVA2N slope laser models feature tilt control and automatic re-levelling in tilt mode.
The energy supply:
smart
The Li-Ion SmartPower battery, which features a very high energy density and low weight, is used for the power supply. The battery can be charged in the laser and does not need to be removed. A charging socket is located on the display side of PRIMUS 3. Of course, PRIMUS 3 can be operated while charging.
The tripod attachment:
quick
In addition to the standard 5/8” connection thread, all PRIMUS 3 construction lasers are equipped with the further improved Quick-Fix 2 quick-release system. The laser can be attached to or detached from any tripod in a matter of seconds. Simply flip the lever to attach or detach. Ready.
AutoAlign 2
PRIMUS 3 HVA and HVA2N models are equipped with the AutoAlign 2 function. This function enables the laser level to be automatically aligned with COMMANDER 3. The working range of AutoAlign 2 is 150m.
In horizontal mode, AutoAlign 2 function is available in both the X and Y axes. Perfect for measuring slopes.
In vertical mode, the AutoAlign 2 function is available in one axis.
Perfect for batter board applications and façade construction.
AutoTarget function
for automatic axis alignment
In dual slope operation, precise alignment of the tilt axes is extremely important for accurate results in fine grading. Small deviations in the alignment of the tilt axis can lead to massive errors.
AutoTarget function of the PRIMUS 3 H2N and HVA2N automatically aligns the Y-slope axis of the laser with the COMMANDER 3. The internal coordinate system of the laser is shifted.
The time-consuming and error-prone manual alignment of the tilt axis in the Y direction to the target using optical sighting devices such as a telscope are no longer necessary. This innovative function is made possible
by the PRIMUS 3 patented sensor technology.
FindX
Since the Y-axis and X-axis are always arranged at right angles to each other, aligning the Y-axis with AutoTarget automatically results in a change to the X-axis, too.
FindX function makes it quick and easy to determine the exact position of the X-axis. The COMMANDER is positioned roughly on the presumed X-axis. After activating the FindX function, direction arrows and angle information on the COMMANDER display indicate the exact position of the X-axis. FindX function also makes it quick and easy to transfer right angles in the field.
PlaneLock X/Y
PlaneLock X or PlaneLock Y leads to better results when working in slope mode over a longer period of time and with particular precision, as environmental influences on the sensitive sensors of the slope laser are avoided.
On PRIMUS 3 H1N, H2N or HVA2N, slope is set in the desired axis. COMANDER 3 is brought into the laser plane and PlaneLock is activated. COMMANDER 3 then holds the laser plane at the set inclination while the other axis is aligned exactly horizontally.
This function is extremely helpful, especially when creating a fine plane.
The temperature stability:
permanent
Working days are long on the construction site. PRIMUS 3 is equipped with TemperatureControl automatic temperature compensation in order to achieve precise work results in slope mode throughout the entire working day.
The temperature in the laser is constantly monitored, ensuring that the slope set in one or both axes remain stable even when temperature changes.
