Controls And Displays
• Slope alignment sights
These sights are used to align the slope axis of the laser for excavating and
grading when there is a slope required.
• Laser Power indicator
The green L.E.D. indicates the laser beam is on.
• Low battery indicator
The yellow L.E.D. indicates the batteries need to be replaced or charged.
• Leveling indicators / H.I. alert
A green L.E.D. in the upper leveling indicator control panel window turns on
when the leveling system is active. A constant light indicates the laser is
leveling. A flashing light indicates the laser is nearly level. When the laser is
fully level, the rotating mirror begins to spin, the green power indicator L.E.D.
comes on and the leveling L.E.D. turns off. If the laser cannot level, a red
L.E.D. in the lower leveling indicator control panel window will flash. This
indicates the tripod or surface the laser is on must be more level or closer to
the slope that is dialed in.
When the laser finishes leveling and has been running for about five
seconds, a feature called H.I. alert activates. When the laser enters this
mode, the upper leveling indicator green L.E.D. will flash slowly five times.
With H.I. alert active, if the laser is moved or bumped, or the grade knob is
moved, the laser beam will shut-off, the rotor will stop spinning and the red
and green leveling L.E.D.s will flash alternately. Any grade adjustments
should be made before H.I. alert activates. To clear the H.I. alert, simply turn
the laser off, then on again. You must recheck your setup before continuing
your work to avoid errors.
• Slope display
The counter displays the amount of slope set into the plane of laser light.
The display has a resolution of .01% and can be set from 0 to 25%.
• Slope adjustment knob (see H.I. alert above)
The slope adjustment knob is used to set slope into the laser, or to set the
laser to level (00.00 slope).
• Power switch
The power switch turns the laser on or off.
• Rotation speed selector (MAGNUM only)
The rotation speed switch changes the rotation speed between 600, 900 and
1200rpm. The speed will stay at the last setting when the laser is shut down.
• Rotation speed indicators (MAGNUM only)
One of these indiactors will be on whenever the laser is powered-up to
indicate the selected rotation speed.
