Using PlaneLok Mode
How PlaneLok Mode Works
PlaneLok mode works by changing grade in the selected axis direction then
monitoring the elevation changes of the laser beam at the receiver via the
radio remote control. Once the laser “finds” the center of the receiver, it
continues to monitor its position and makes small corrections to hold the
beam on-grade.
Important Things to Know about PlaneLok Mode
• Loss of receiver signal results in laser “out of level” mode (no laser beam
or rotation)
• The internal laser level vial for that axis is ignored (the receiver is used for
level control)
• The opposite axis levels to its internal level vial and grade
PlaneLok
• Works like grade match mode, except the receiver is permanently
mounted at the desired elevation to continually monitor beam elevation
• Is used for applications requiring extreme accuracy, such as in runway
applications
For proper operation
• The initial grade MUST be within 1.5% of the final grade before starting
Practical Application for PlaneLok Mode: Agricultural and Runway
Applications
Agriculture and runway applications can generally be handled using any of
the previously described processes. For extremely accurate agriculture or
runway applications whose work-time extends over several days or even
weeks, PlaneLok mode is recommended.
PlaneLok Mode Setup
1. Set up the laser over a reference point.
