The R8 senses the plane of laser light
projected by the AS2 MAGNUM and
indicates a height position relative to
the plane (high, low, or on grade).
The R8 uses five channel front and
rear LCDs to display height
information. Along with the visual
displays, an audio tone also indicates
when the receiver is high, low, or on
grade. When the R8 is exactly
centered at the beam height, an on
grade "bar" indication is displayed. If
the R8 is high or low, an "arrow"
shows the direction to move the R8 in
order to get an on grade indication.
The R8 has three control switches,
power on/off, tone high/low/off and
on-grade accuracy select. Pressing
the power switch activates the R8. The audio tone will sound and the LCD
display will show the power, tone and accuracy icons. The R8 is ready to
operate in standard accuracy with loud tone. Pressing the volume switch
once turns the volume off, twice changes to low volume. When the volume is
off, there will still be a single tone the first time the R8 senses a laser signal.
Pressing the accuracy switch once changes to the coarse setting (note:
display is 3 channels in coarse), twice changes to fine. The R8 automatically
turns off if no laser beam strikes are received for 30 minutes. The R8 is
powered by two AA cell batteries that last approximately 70 hours. When the
battery is nearly used up, the low battery indicator will be displayed. To
replace the batteries, locate the battery door on the lower back of the
housing and open the latch using a coin. Replace batteries following the
+
diagram on the housing.
