User Manual

To let you know when the batteries are getting low, the status LED flashes.
When the status LED flashes yellow, the laser has less than one hour of
running time. When the status LED remains on solid yellow, the batteries
have less than five minutes running time.
Connecting the Laser to a Tripod
All lasers have a 5/8-11 tripod mount on the bottom of the laser. Depending
on the laser system you purchase, additional mounting adapters may be
shipped with your laser. The long-range (agricultural) laser system includes
a quick-disconnect adapter and a 3 1/2-8 adapter. The steep-grade laser
system includes a steep-grade adapter and offset plate.
The laser can also be connected to a standard tripod, column clamp, or other
mounting device. If you’re using the laser without a tripod, however, make
sure you set the laser on a stable surface.
1. Insert the tripod’s 5/8-11 screw into the laser’s threaded 5/8-11 tripod
mount.
2. Turn the screw counterclockwise to hold the laser securely in place.
3. To detach the laser from the tripod, turn the screw clockwise.
Turning On/Off the Laser
1. Press the power button to turn on the laser.
Note: The laser always powers up in the automatic self-leveling mode. If the
laser is out of its self-leveling range and remains out of it for more than 30
minutes, the laser shuts down completely.
Note: When the laser is initially turned on, the LCD shows the approximate
charge of the batteries, the laser beam’s rotation speed, and manual axis-
alignment position if it’s other than zero. After the LCD shows this
information, the last-entered grade immediately appears in the LCD. The
status LED flashes green to indicate that the laser is self-leveling. After the
laser has self-leveled at the indicated grade, the laser beam rotates and the
status LED stops flashing.
Note: After the laser has been level for more than 30 minutes, the HI alert
activates. If the laser is disturbed (tripod bumped, etc.) so that when it re-
