System Overview: What It Does & How It Works - LaserLine GL3000P-E Owner's Manual

ThE SySTEM
The GL3000P-E Laser uses an ultra high visibility green
laser to establish visual line control for your paint
striping machine, asphalt distributor, road widener,
pavement profiler or virtually any application requiring
vehicle line control.
The Operator adjusts the laser spot to the desired refer-
ence point on the road surface remotely from inside the
cab. The laser spot is impacted directly on the road sur-
face and shows the Operator exactly where the vehicle is
relative to "on line." The laser spot is on the road ahead
of the Operator so that the reference is in the driving
field of view instead of a T.V. screen or boom pointer.
It is fast to set up and easy to use.

ThE ProducT
• Main Housing — Weatherproof, containing optic plate
mounting platform, micro processor electronics, laser,
laser mounting assembly, laser driver board, automatic
cooling and heating system, X-Y positioning control
mechanism, drive motors, and optics. The entire unit
is dry nitrogen purged to protect all components.
• 20 Feet ( 6 Meters) of Interconnect Cable with a water-
25 (7.62 Meters)
proof, mil spec, in-line connector mounted between
the laser main housing and the control panel mounted
in the cab.
• Control Panel allows the Operator to turn the unit on
and off as well as aim the laser spot toward or away
from the vehicle as well as left and right.
• 15 Feet (4.5 Meters) of 12/24 Volt DC Cable running
(4.57 Meters)
from the control box for connection to vehicle's
12/24V power.
ThE AdvAnTAGES
• For truck control, you can set your reference 20
to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) out in front of the vehicle
impacting on the road.
• You are looking in your natural driving field of view at
the reference point.
• You can reduce or eliminate pre-marking and the
high cost associated with it.
• Eliminates using a boom and the problems associated
with it such as bouncing on rough surfaces, safety, and
the mechanical size and constraint of the mechanism.
• Safer! Drive up to intersections without the worry of
injury or damage to people or other vehicles caused by
mechanical arm extending out in front of the truck.
• Eliminates having to drive looking at a T.V. screen
instead of the road. Reduces or eliminates the problem
of "white-out" in low sun conditions.
• Greatly increases the machine's maneuverability.
• Much less strain on the Operator. It reduces fatigue and
increases skill load.
• It's more versatile. It's easier. It's faster. It's safer.
