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.
In order to begin a compound slope setup, the S1 Compound Slope Adapter Kit
must be installed on the laser, following the instructions included with the kit.
Next, follow the steps below:
1. Determine the two slopes for the site and the direction of each slope. Set the
compound slope adapter angle to zero (0) degrees and aim the laser parallel to
the main slope on the site (the main slope is the steeper of the two slopes). Be
certain that the up-slope direction of the laser is aimed uphill on the main slope. If
there is any question which is the up-slope direction for the laser, you can refer to
the label on the side of the laser just above the slope knob.
2. Using the compound slope chart supplied with the S1 kit, find the two slopes
for the site on the chart and
follow their row and column
until they intersect.
Remember that the main
slope is the steeper of the
two slopes. The upper
number in the box where
the two slopes intersect is
the angle to set into the S1
adapter. The lower number
is the resultant slope to dial
into the laser's slope
counter. Note: The slope
number is displayed with
greater precision than the
slope counter increments.
