Page 8: Turning On The Laser System
RT-7690-2 User Guide Turning on the Laser System 1. Place the RT-7690-2 base unit on a relatively flat surface, or set it on a standard surveyor’s tripod, using the built-in 5/8" x 11" tripod mount on the bottom of the unit. -
Page 9: Operating Modes
Line Dither/Scan mode is normally used for indoor applications. Note: The RT-7690-2 base unit can be controlled by the laser controls on both the base unit and on the RF remote control. The RF remote control allows for non-directional, unobstructed operation of the base unit from up to 300 ft. -
Page 10: Out Of Level
RT-7690-2 User Guide The laser beam stops rotating (if in Spin mode) or dithering (if in Line Dither/Scan mode) and flashes a laser dot in sync with the base unit LED. The beeper on the base unit sounds in sync with the laser beam and base unit LED. - Page 11 RT-7690-2 User Guide To use the detector: 1. Activate the RF Remote/Detector with the keypad RF Remote/Detector Power On/Off button . You will hear a single beep, and icons in the lower portion of the LCD will be displayed, showing all available options. This confirms that the unit is activated, but the lasers and detector have not been turned on.
- Page 12 RT-7690-2 User Guide 3. To turn on the detector, press the Coarse/Fine select button . On startup, the laser detector resolution is coarse, with the beeper on. The coarse resolution and beeper icons are displayed on the LCD. Continue pressing the Coarse/Fine button...

Page 13: Using The Reflective Target
The red acrylic used in the targets enhances the laser, making the laser dot more visible. Using the Laser Enhancement Glasses The red plastic used in the glasses enhances the laser, making the laser dot more visible. These glasses are particularly useful when using the RT-7690-2 laser system outdoors or in brightly-lit environments. -

9V battery, ensuring that the polarity is correct, as shown in the diagram. Caution: Remove all batteries from the RT-7690-2 base unit and RF remote control/laser detector whenever the units are being stored for an extended period of time. -
Page 20: Temperature Protection
The laser beam automatically shuts off when the temperature of the unit reaches 113°F (45°C). The laser comes back on once the unit cools below 104°F (40°C). Current operating settings are retained, and the RT-7690-2 base unit returns to the last functional mode selected. -
Page 21: Calibration
RT-7690-2 User Guide Calibration The RT-7690-2 laser system is calibrated before shipment to ensure that you receive a superior product conforming to the product specifications listed. Although it has been calibrated before leaving the factory, it contains many precision-machined parts that may be affected if the instrument is subject to abuse. - Page 22 RT-7690-2 User Guide 7. Turn off the laser beam and the power to the unit. Caution: The laser beam must be turned off and the power switch in the off position before proceeding to the next step. 8. Insert an Allen wrench into the side calibration port and locate the calibration screw. Rotate it clockwise to lower the beam or counterclockwise to raise the beam.
- Page 23 RT-7690-2 User Guide 50 ft. (15m) Caution: The Allen wrench must be removed from the calibration port before turning the power on. Calibration is complete. 17. Turn the power switch to the off position. Screw back the calibration port covers and resume normal operation.
