OPERATION

Remove the laser from its carrying case. The instrument is shipped with a battery current
protection insert, which must be removed before operation.
NOTE: All 3100 Series instruments are shipped with ADS on as the default setting. This setting can
be changed by the user (see Anti-Drift System - ADS, page 12).
Note: 3175 instruments will default to Grade Mode when the instrument is turned on. The Mode
button is used for both selecting between the X-axis and Y-axis for setting grade and exiting the
Grade Mode (see Grade Mode — Dual or Single Axis Grade). Press and release the Mode button
to select between the X-axis and Y-axis when setting grade. To exit the Grade Mode, press and
hold the Mode button for 4 to 5 seconds, then release. This will bring up the Mode Select Menu.
The user can now toggle to other menu options. Pressing the Mode button for 4 to 5 seconds and
releasing is only required to exit the Grade Mode.
Leveling
1: The instrument can stand alone on a level, sturdy surface or preferably secured to a 5⁄8" x 11
surveyor's tripod.
2: Press the (A) button once, and allow time (up to 60 seconds) for the instrument to self-level.
NOTE: The laser head may begin to rotate before leveling is complete. The self-leveling speed is
approximately 1° per 4 seconds.
3: After self-leveling, the instrument will begin operating in Rotation Mode. Note: The 3150 will
return to last mode of operation (i.e. sweep, spot, or rotation speed); however, does
not retain grade information.
NOTE: After self-leveling, the instrument will begin operating in Rotation Mode for 3110-GR, last
selected mode of operation (i.e. Sweep, Spot, Rotation Mode) for 3150, and Grade Mode for 3175.
