System Setup
General Setup Information
• Prior to beginning work, decide where to place the laser for optimum
coverage of the job site.
• Place the laser on the job site where it will be out of the way of traffic and
will not be obstructed by equipment with respect to the machine-mounted
receiver.
• Set the height of the tripod and laser so that the laser beam will strike the
receiver when it’s positioned correctly on a machine or grade rod.
• Adjust the laser’s alignment to the job site as needed.
• When using the radio remote control, make sure the radio remote
control’s antenna is pointing skyward and the laser’s antenna is flipped
up. An “R” appears in the right corner of the remote’s first display line
indicating a connection has been made and the power is on.
• When the radio remote control and laser are “linked,” a flashing bar
above the “T” (antenna icon) appears in the right corner of the radio
remote control LCD.
• The laser-beam operating radius for the standard laser models is 1,500
feet (460 m).
• The laser-beam operating radius for the long-range mode is 2,500 feet
(7600 m).
• The radio-remote-control operating radius for the standard operating
modes is 750 feet (230 m). The operating radius for the radio remote
control in automatic alignment modes is 500 feet (150 m).
Getting Connected

Connecting the Laser to a Tripod
All lasers have a 5/8-11 tripod mount on the bottom of the laser so you can
connect the laser to a standard tripod, column clamp, or other mounting
device. The laser can also be used without a tripod, but the laser must be set
on a stable surface.
