Pacific Laser Systems PLS5 and PLS3
The PLS5 and PLS3 provide the critical alignment information required 
by all building contractors. Here are a few of the many applications where the PLS5 or PLS3 will save time and money on the job site.

STEEL ERECTORS - No more plumb bobs in the wind. Place the PLS laser on a column and check plumb using your tape measure to read the down and up PLS reference points. 

GLAZIERS - Layout curtain walls, store fronts, shower doors and more. Place the PLS laser on the outside edge of a threshold. The down reference point will be plumb to the up reference point and therefore should be on the outside edge of the top of your door or window frame. 

DRYWALL FRAMERS - Layout and install track for commercial or residential projects. Using the PLS5 and your target accessories, project 90 degree angles in a fraction of the time. No more 3-4-5. 

When installing top and bottom track or plates, place the PLS laser directly over the outside edge of your bottom track or plate. The PLS top reference point will mark where the outside edge of your top track or plate should be. 

ELECTRICIANS - How would you layout canned lights in a church? You have a vaulted ceiling and 50 lights to install. With a PLS laser and a little thought you can reduce your layout time dramatically. Using your floor plans, use the PLS reference points down and up to determine where each light is to be installed. How long would it take you to layout 50 lights in a vaulted ceiling with two men and a plumb bob? 

RESIDENTIAL HOME BUILDER - Setting up foundations on a slope is always a challenge. Put the PLS5 on the outside corner of your layout and pull reference points foreword and to the side of the PLS5. Layout of interior walls, ceilings, stairways, cabinetry, and more can be done quickly and accurately with the PLS laser. Use the PLS laser and your tape measure to establish plumb and level reference virtually anywhere on the job site. 

HVAC MECHANICAL - Conditions to establish heating and ventilation duct work can be difficult in either commercial or residential projects. For commercial HVAC the PLS will speed vertical and level layout without dealing with a plumb bob in the wind. Manipulate plumb, level, and square reference anywhere on the job site regardless of obstacles or weather conditions. 

These are just a few broad examples of the value of point to point alignment information. Check existing conditions before you submit your bid estimate, or start your work. Save time everyday in layout and installation. Compare the advantages of using a PLS laser to the traditional methods you now employ.
