Battery Installation / Charging Battery Installation / Charging Alkaline Battery Installation: Remove the BULLSEYE from its carrying case. Hold the unit so the accessory connector is pointing upwards. Remove the dust cap from the accessory connector. Loosen the two thumb screws and remove the battery access cover. Install four “C” cell alkaline batteries as shown on the label diagram inside the battery compartment noting the (+) and (-) terminals.
Operation Power: Press the power switch on the touch panel to turn the unit on. All the LED's will light briefly and then each LED row will light from top to bottom. This also acts as a check to assure the display is working properly. On-grade location and deadband settings are retained from the last time the unit was turned off. If the receiver is out of the laser beam, the center light will flash to confirm power is on.
Operation Installation - General Display Brightness Switch: Selects the LED display brightness. Bright and Dim are the options. Use Dim for normal and lower light conditions and Bright for sunny daytime operation if necessary. Display Dim will conserve battery life by approximately 50%. When the switch is pressed with the receiver out of the laser beam, the LED's will display a circle with the current setting. Depress the brightness switch again while the LED's are lit to change the setting.
Installation - Grading Laser Center On-grade Installation - Excavating When using on an excavator or backhoe, the dipperstick should be vertical and the bucket positioned so it can easily be repeated each time a grade reading is taken. The bucket can be fully extended, curled, or levelled, as long as it is consistent when grade readings are taken. The receiver can be set-up in the trench or out of the trench if the cut elevation can be determined.
Installation - Excavating Installation - Magnetic Mount For excavators and backhoes, determine where the mount will be located on the machine so that when the BULLSEYE is attached, it will intersect the laser beam. Ensure the area of the machine is clean and free of oil and grease. Angle the mount so the top edge of the top magnet will be positioned first. Holding the mount by the pipe with both hands, place the top edge of the magnet on the machine.
