Page 10: Operation
Operation Power: Press the power switch on the touch panel to turn the unit on. All the LED's will light briefly, then each LED grade display row will turn on then turn off from top to bottom. Then each status indicator will turn on and off. The current deadband status and on grade location will momentarily display. - Page 11 Operation Center / Offset On-Grade Location Switch: Center on-grade is selected for typical grading or cut/fill operations. This mode indicates an equal amount of grade information above and below on-grade. Offset on-grade is selected for typical excavation operations. This excavation mode gives more information and a larger display area above on-grade.
- Page 12 Operation Deadband (Accuracy) Switch: Each on-grade location has three deadband or accuracy selections - fine, standard, and wide. The center or grading deadbands are smaller than the offset or excavating deadbands. Pressing the switch once flashes the status LED of the current selection.
- Page 13 Operation Display Brightness Selection: The brightness switch controls the LED grade display and blade tilt display brightness. Bright and Dim are the selection options. Use Bright for daytime operation if necessary and Dim for lower light conditions. Operating with Display Dim selected will extend battery life. When the brightness switch is pressed and the receiver is out of the laser beam, the LED's will display a circle with the current setting.
- Page 14 Operation Out of Beam Indication. The receiver has an Out Of Beam (OOB) indication that can be turned on or off. When it is on, the LED grade display will indicate if the receiver has moved beyond the vertical laser reception range. A sequence of LED's will indicate which direction to move the blade or cutting edge to pick up the laser beam.

Page 15: Installation And Set-Up
Installation - General Set up the laser in a convenient, safe location. Please refer to your laser operator's manual. Ensure the laser is on a stable tripod. On windy, gusty days it may be advisable to tie down or weigh down the tripod to make the laser beam more stable. - Page 16 Installation - Grading Center Laser On-grade Finished Elevation Benchmark Position the machine so the blade is set to the desired finished elevation, typically on a benchmark or hub stake. Set the laser up in an appropriate location for receiver visibility and efficient machine operation and turn it on.
- Page 17 Installation - Slope Matching The blade tilt indicator can be nulled or set to zero at a blade slope other than level. This is used for matching an existing slope or setting the blade to a predetermined slope. The factory default setting of the blade tilt indicator is level. To set the blade tilt indicator at a slope other than level, position the blade at the desired slope.
- Page 18 Installation - Excavating When using on an excavator or backhoe, the dipperstick should be vertical or near vertical and the bucket positioned so it can easily be repeated each time a grade reading is taken. The bucket can be fully extended or curled as long as it is consistent when grade readings are taken.
- Page 19 Installation - Excavating Out of Trench Set-Up Set the laser up in an appropriate location for receiver visibility and efficient machine operation and turn it on. Place the bucket in the grade checking position and situate the machine so a measurement can safely be obtained on the dipper arm.
