Equipment You will need the , a surveying tripod, measuring staff...
- Page 18 HOW TO SET SLOPES (FALLS/GRADES) Working Example (Continued) Important note: All “grade facility” rotary lasers revert back to the auto (self) level condition if switched Off without retaining the gradient set. So its recommended to complete the ground- works before switching the laser Off . Once this 1:40 fall is set, the User can use this inclined laser beam as a datum to set the depth of either the crown of the drainage pipe or the Invert level, anywhere in range of the laser –...

- Page 21 Before moving position from cover A, press the laser’s Manual Override button to disable the auto (self) levelling. On the LL100N, this is only found on the remote. Do NOT un-clamp detector. Move position and place extended measuring staff over the centre of cover B, holding it vertically (see diagram 2).
- Page 22 HOW TO SET SLOPES (FALLS/GRADES) Working Example 2 (when you do NOT know the % grade to set) Models LL100N & LL300N: To make the next adjustment, use the RC601UK infra-red remote control if distance “D” is less than 20m. If “D” is more than 20m, a colleague must assist you using the remote control, being within 20m of the laser level.
