The Power Button only func- tion when the battery pack powers the laser sensor.
Page 7 b) Hidden Switch See "3.4 Optional Functions" on page 3-8. c) Grade Position Indicators Blink rapidly to indicate the position of the machine’s cutting edge relative to grade (See below.) d) Plumb Indicators Blink rapidly to show the vertical position of the machine’s arm. (See below.) e) Low Battery Indicators Become lit when the battery pack has less than 6 hours of operating charge.
Page 8 Description of the System MC200 g) Mounting Clamps Allow you to easily attach the laser sensor to square and round mounting poles without having to lift the laser sensor over the top of the pole. The laser sensor includes shock isolators to absorb and dampen vibrations from the machine. Magnetic Mount: Allows the sensor to be attached to the arm of the machine.
Page 9 h) Battery Pack The rechargeable batteries provide power to the laser sensor for over 48 hours on a single charge. Recharge the battery pack by connecting a 778855 Charger, 100-240 VAC to the charger connector. Plug the DC power cable into the battery pack before plugging it into the mains socket.
