  • Page 3: Battery Installation

    Battery Installation Battery installation Install batteries as shown here. For reference, there is a diagram label on the bracket between the batteries. Note: Batteries are shipped in the carrying case and must be installed for the laser to operate. Use the battery pocket in the case to store a spare set of batteries in order to prevent downtime.

    • Turn the laser off when it is not being used, such as during lunch hour, at the end of the day, or during other long breaks in the work. CAUTION CAUTION LASER LIGHT L1-AS DO NOT STARE (North America) INTO BEAM 635nm - 670nm...
  • Page 7 1993 IEC 825-1 laser safety standard and the revised edition of the European Norm EN60825. The L1-AS laser conforms to applicable EC directives regarding RFI and EMI. The L1-AS complies with FDA performance standards 21 CFR subchapter J.
  • Page 8: Initial Setup Guidelines

    Work as close to the laser as possible. You can work up to 1000 feet from the L1-AS with the R7. As with all instruments, the farther you go, the more any error can add up. Set the laser in a safe place, as close as you can to your work Maintain your equipment.
  • Page 9: Level Setup

    Level Setup Follow the instructions in the "initial setup guidelines" section. Turn the laser on and allow it to level. Zero the grade display carefully. Aiming the laser when doing level work is not important. In the event that a very long distance is required, the laser can be set-up in the middle of the site, covering a total of 2000 feet (610 meters) diameter with the R7 hand held receiver or MC-1 machine control receiver.
  • Page 10: Slope Setup

    Slope Setup Follow the suggestions in the "initial setup guidelines" section. Carefully aim the laser using the sights on the top cap. These sights indicate the direction of slope. Using the red slope adjustment knob, adjust the slope display to your required slope.
  • Page 11 Slope Setup The display reads in percent of grade (the number displayed is the units of rise or fall per 100 units of run). A 2-1/2% up slope (projecting upward from the front of the laser) shows as 2.50 on the display. If a down slope is needed, the display is set to the needed slope and the rear of the laser is aimed in the direction of slope.
  • Page 12: Compound Slope Setup

    Sites designed with compound slope actually have just a single resultant slope. When a site has slope in two directions, 90 degrees apart, the model S1 Compound Slope Adapter Kit can be used to calculate and set the L1-AS to the proper angle and resultant slope.
  • Page 13 Compound Slope Setup 3. Rotate the S1 adapter until it matches the angle determined with the slope chart. Note: if, when standing behind the laser, the highest corner on the site is to the right of the grade sight, you must rotate the adapter counter clock-wise until you reach the proper reading.
  • Page 14: Checking & Adjusting Calibration

    Checking and Adjusting Calibration Calibration is your responsibility, check it often. Although the L1-AS is calibrated at the factory and is an exceptionally rugged laser, it is well worth the effort to check calibration before you first use it (after shipping) and then from time to time to ensure that you are doing the highest quality work possible.
  • Page 15 Checking and Adjusting Calibration 4. Take the receiver to the target and find the height of the laser beam by moving the receiver up or down until you get a display and/or tone. Now, find the center of the display and mark the target, using the receiver's beam center notch as a guide.
  • Page 16: R7 Receiver

    R7 Receiver The R7 can be attached to a grade rod, Rear height display or used without the rod clamp to make reference marks on walls, floors, or other 5 channel front surfaces. The R7 senses the laser beam height display and uses a five channel front LCD to show height information.

  • Page 18: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Maintenance And Troubleshooting Calibration • There is no set interval for calibrating the L1-AS, but calibration should be checked from time to time in order to ensure that the highest possible quality of work is being done. Calibration should always be checked if the laser has been handled roughly or shipped.
