Hilti PRI 2 Rotating Laser for Horizontal and Vertical ApplicationsDurable and Easy to Use

    TULSA, Okla. - May 9, 2007 - Designed for horizontal and vertical use, the Hilti PRI 2 Rotating Laser System is ideal for interior finishing, mechanical and electrical applications. With one-button operation, an infrared remote control and optional laser receiver, the PRI 2 system is easy to use and easy to set up, which helps save time and improve jobsite productivity.

    The Hilti PRI 2 Rotating Laser System

    An extension of the Hilti rotating laser portfolio, the PRI 2 is self-leveling and can be set up vertically or horizontally. For vertical applications, the laser can set out right angles with a 90 degree beam. With a selection of four different rotating speeds, the PRI 2 is highly versatile and suitable for various applications including layout and alignment of suspended ceilings, drywall, pipes and conveyance systems.

    Equipped with a metal cage to help protect the laser head, four handles and reinforced housing material, the PRI 2 is designed to withstand tough jobsite conditions. Lightweight and reliable, the PRI 2 also features an auto-shut-off function.

    The system comes with the PRA 2 infrared remote control and an optional PRA 22 laser receiver is also available. The PRA 22 can detect beams up to 490 feet away in areas with limited visibility. An easy-to-use keypad enables one-person operation for basic functionality. With the remote control, there is no need to touch the leveling tool during operation. From up to 100 feet away, operators can control the system with 360 degree coverage as well as upward.

    Because tough jobsite use, inappropriate storage and other factors may impact accuracy, Hilti recommends that laser measuring and detection tools are checked regularly to ensure reliability in accordance with standards and statutory requirements. To minimize costly mistakes as well as down time due to repairs, Hilti offers a producer certificate and calibration services.
