  • Page 9: Turning On/Off The Laser

    Laser Setup Position the laser horizontally (tripod mount and rubber feet downward!) on a stable platform, wall mount or tripod at the desired elevation. The laser recognizes automatically whether it is used horizontally or vertically when switched on. Turning On/Off the laser Press the power button to turn On the laser.

  • Page 10: Standard Features

    Standard Features Rotation Mode Rotation speed can be selected using the Rotation button as well as using the RC402N menu. Repeatedly pressing the Rotation button toggles through 0, 10, 80, 200, 600 rpm regardless if the unit is in automatic or manual mode. At 0 rpm, the beam stops automatically close to the +Y- axis center position. When set up horizontally in automatic mode, using buttons Up/Down increases/decreases the rotor speed from 10 to 80 and then continuously in 10 rpm increments up to 600 rpm.

  • Page 11: Manual Mode

    Standard Features Manual mode Pressing and releasing Manual button activates/deactivates the manual mode regardless if set up horizontal or vertical. Manual mode is indicated by the flashing (once every second) red LED (e). In Manual mode (horizontal), the Y-axis can be sloped by pressing the Up and Down Arrow-buttons on the laser or remote control.

  • Page 12: Mask Mode

    Mask Mode Mask Mode – allows you to electronically turn off the rotating laser beam (electronic shutters) in up to 3 lighthouse windows to prevent interference with other receivers on the jobsite. Mask Mode can be selected as a standard feature as well as using the menu. To activate the mask mode on the + or -Y-axis, press the Up or Down arrow button at the laser or remote control, then within <1 second press and release the Manual button.
  • Page 13 Applications Interior Acoustical Ceilings Determine and mark the finished ceiling height and securely install the first piece of wall molding to this height. Attach the laser onto the wall molding by sliding the wall mount over the wall molding and turn the locking screws until the wall mount is secured. Make sure the locking knob on the wall mount is loose.

  • Page 14: Determining The Height Of Instrument (Hi)

    Determining the Height of Instrument (HI) The height of instrument (HI) is the elevation of the laser’s beam. The HI is determined by adding the grade-rod reading to a benchmark or known elevation. Set up the laser and place the grade rod on a job-site benchmark (BM) or known elevation. Slide the receiver up/down the grade rod until it shows an on-grade reading.
  • Page 15 Using the Y-Axis Single Slope Mode Set up the laser and align it to the desired slope hub using the sighting guides on the sunshade. Check the laser beam elevation close to the laser. To activate the Y-axis single slope mode, press the manual mode button twice. The red and green LED flashes simultaneously (once a second).
