  • Page 2: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for choosing one of the Spectra Precision Lasers from the Trimble family of precision lasers. The grade laser is an easy-to-use tool that offers accurate horizontal, vertical and sloped laser reference up to 1300 ft (400 m) away using a receiver.
  • Page 3: How To Use The Laser System

    HOW TO USE THE LASER SYSTEM POWERING THE LASER Batteries WARNING Ni-MH batteries may contain small amounts of harmful substances. Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time, and after not using it for an extended length of time. Charge only with specified chargers according to device manufacturer‘s instructions. Do not open the battery, dispose of in fire or short circuit; it may ignite, explode, leak or get hot causing personal injury. Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Keep the battery away from children. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately Recharging the Batteries The laser is shipped with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack. Note: The approximate charge of the batteries is shown at the left top side of the LCD. The charger requires approx. 10 hours to charge empty rechargeable batteries. For charging, connect the plug of the charger to the recharge jack of the battery pack. New or long-time out-of-use rechargeable batteries reach their best performance after being charged and recharged five times. For Indoor applications the charger can be used as a power supply for the GL.

    LASER SETUP Position the laser horizontally (tripod mount and rubber feet downward!) on a stable platform, wall mount or tripod at the desired elevation. The laser recognizes automatically whether it is used horizontally or vertically when switched on. Turning On/Off the laser Press the power button to turn On/Off the laser.

    Standard Features X-Y-grade entering – Step and Go mode Quickly press and release button 2 starts the grade entering mode. Both grade values will be shown. Press/release button 1 a grade reverse Y Press/release button 2 a grade reverse X (only GL622) Press/release button 3 a return to the standard display Quickly press and release button 4 to confirm the selected grade value and return to the standard display Press and hold button 6 or 7 (left/right) to change X- axis grade value (only GL622) after the comma; press and hold buttons 6 + 7 simultaneously starts X-axis quick change mode where the grade value in front of the comma will be set to 0% and then starts changing in 1% increments.
  • Page 6: Using The Rotation Mode

    Use button 1 or 2 (Plus or Minus) to set the desired digit. The laser will self-level to the required grade position after confirming the grade change with button 4. Note: The bubble symbols at the laser’s LCD will flash until the laser has been self-leveled to the requested grade position. Using the Rotation mode Repeatedly pressing the button 4 toggles through 300, 600, 900 rpm regardless if the unit is in automatic or manual mode. Manual mode Pressing and releasing button 3 at the Standard Display activates/deactivates the manual mode regardless if set up horizontal or vertical. Manual mode is indicated by horizontal lines next to the axes symbols. In Manual mode (horizontal), the Y-axis can be sloped by pressing the Up-(5) and Down-Arrow-(8) buttons on the laser‘s keypad or the remote control. Additionally, the X-axis can be sloped by pressing the Left-(6) and Right-(7) Arrow-buttons on the laser or remote control.

    Menu functions when set up horizontal Menu functions when set up vertical Note: Pairing function is needed to pair an already paired remote with a new transmitter. The new transmitter has to be set to the pairing dialog for this operation. Otherwise the pairing can not be successful processed.
  • Page 8: Automatic Planelok Mode

    Automatic PlaneLok mode The PlaneLok mode can be activated in horizontal and vertical automatic and manual mode. In PlaneLok mode when set up horizontal, the beam will be locked to a fixed elevation point (up to 80 m (260 ft) located on one axis at each side of the laser. For keeping vertical alignments fixed to a direction point, PlaneLok can be used in both directions on the X-axis. 1. Set up the laser over the reference point. 2. A ttach the HL750 receiver to a grade rod. Place the receiver at the second point and adjust it to the On-grade position. The receiver should be permanently mounted at this location and at the desired elevation.
  • Page 9: Automatic Grade Match

    Automatic Grade Match The Grade Match mode can be activated in horizontal automatic and manual mode. In Grade Match mode, the laser can be used to measure the existing grade value between two known elevation points (up to 80 m (260 ft) located on one axis at each side of the laser 1. Set up the laser over the reference point. 2. A ttach the HL750 receiver to a grade rod. Check the laser’s elevation next to the laser then position the receiver at the second point WITHOUT changing the receiver’s elevation on the rod. 3. U se the sighting guides on the top of the laser to align the laser to the receiver. Turn the laser on the tripod until it is roughly aligned to the receiver’s position (the alignment range for both axes is +/-40°). 4. Press and release the MENU button at the Standard Display and select Grade Match. 5. S elect the desired Grade Match axis (X- only GL622) then press button 4 to start Grade Match. Note: The laser starts to search for the receiver. A flashing Receiver and angle symbol appears at the selected axis and disappears when Grade Match has been completed.
  • Page 10: Automatic Axis Alignment (Only Gl622)

    Automatic Axis Alignment (only GL622) Automatic Axis Alignment mode adjusts automatically the direction the grade axis is pointing to the receiver’s location by an electronically simulation of rotating the unit on its base to match the hub. Using Axis Alignment, the laser axis can be aligned to one direction hub (up to 80 m (260 ft) located on one axis at each side of the laser. 1. Set up the laser over the reference point. 2. P lace the grade rod with the attached HL750 receiver at the desired direction hub. 3. U se the sighting guides on the top of the laser to align the laser to the receiver. Turn the laser on the tripod until it is roughly aligned to the receiver’s position (the alignment range for both axes is +/-40°). 4. Press and release the MENU button at the Standard Display and select Axis Align. 5. Select the desired axis then press button 4 to start Axis Align. Note: Adjusting the receiver into the beam before starting the automatic Axis Alignment reduces the time needed for finishing the alignment.

  • Page 18: Protecting The Unit

    PROTECTING THE UNIT Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures or temperature changes (do not leave inside the car). The unit is very robust and can resist damage if dropped even from tripod height. Before continuing your work, always check the leveling accuracy. See Checking Calibration section. The laser is water proof and can be used indoors and outdoors. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Dirt and water on the glass parts of laser or prism will influence beam quality and operating range considerably. Clean with cotton swabs. Remove dirt on the housing with a lint-free, warm, wet and smooth cloth. Do not use harsh cleansers or solvents. Allow the unit to air dry after cleaning it. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The unit, accessories and packaging ought to be recycled. This manual is made of non-chlorine recycling paper. All plastic parts are marked for recycling according to material type. Do not throw used batteries into the garbage, water or fire. Remove them in compliance with environmental requirements.Hinweis für Kunden in der EU Notice to Our European Union Customers For product recycling instructions and more information, please go to:...
