Controls and Displays Controls and Displays LED Status Indicators 1. Aluminum cast upper and lower housings. 5 Light Blade Tilt Indication 2. Polycarbonate housing - protects the electronics. 1 3. Receiving Window - four sets of photocells spaced to allow 360 degree reception. 2 4. Super-bright grade display LED's are highly visible - graphically displays the blade or bucket position. 3 5. Power Switch turns the unit on and off. 4 6.
Battery Installation / Charging Battery Installation / Charging 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 batteries as shown on the label diagram inside the battery compartment noting the (+) and (-) terminals.
Operation Operation Power: Press the power switch on the touch panel to turn the unit on. All the LED's will light briefly, then each LED grade display row will turn on then turn off from top to bottom. Then each status indicator will turn on and off. The current deadband status and on grade location will momentarily display. If the receiver is out of a laser beam, the center green LED will flash to confirm power is on. If the receiver is in a laser beam, a corresponding LED grade display will be indicated.
Operation Operation Deadband (Accuracy) Switch: Each on-grade location has three deadband or accuracy selections - fine, standard, and wide. The center or grading deadbands are smaller than the offset or excavating deadbands. Pressing the switch once flashes the status LED of the current selection. Pressing the switch again while the status LED is activated changes the selection, sequencing from fine to standard to wide to fine, etc.
Operation Installation - General Out of Beam Indication. The receiver has an Out Of Beam (OOB) indication that can be turned on or off. When it is on, the LED grade display will indicate if the receiver has moved beyond the vertical laser reception range. A sequence of LED's will indicate which direction to move the blade or cutting edge to pick up the laser beam. The sequence will indicate to move the edge down if it is raised above the beam or to move the edge up if it is lowered below the beam.
Installation - Grading Laser Installation - Slope Matching The blade tilt indicator can be nulled or set to zero at a blade slope other than level. This is used for matching an existing slope or setting the blade to a predetermined slope. Center On-grade The factory default setting of the blade tilt indicator is level. To set the blade tilt indicator at a slope other than level, position the blade at the desired slope.
Installation - Excavating Installation - Excavating When using on an excavator or backhoe, the dipperstick should be vertical or near vertical and the bucket positioned so it can easily be repeated each time a grade reading is taken. The bucket can be fully extended or curled 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.
