Laser Controls • Alignment Sights are used to align the slope axis of the laser. • Power Switch turns the laser on and off. • X axis Leveling LEDs: green LED lights when unit is leveling, both red LEDs (X & Y axis) flash if a leveling limit is reached. •...
Warning Placards Safety Labels Note: The AlphaR is a CDRH class II laser and an IEC 60825 class 2 laser. It conforms to applicable EC directives regarding RFI and EMI, and to FDA performance standards 21 CFR subchapter J.
The benchmarks should be 90º apart for greatest accuracy. Work as close to the laser as possible You can work up to 1000 feet (305M) from the AlphaR laser utilising the R10 receiver. As with all lasers and optical instruments, the farther you go, the more errors can add up.
Slope Matching Slope Matching Mode, Y axis manually adjusted, X axis auto levels • Use the sights on top of the laser to align it with the slope direction axis. • Press the power switch to turn the laser on. •...
Calibration Calibration is your responsibility, check it often It is well worth the effort to check calibration before you first use your laser, and then periodically to ensure that you are doing the highest quality work. Always check calibration if the laser has been handled roughly. Follow the steps below to check the calibration of the laser and make adjustments if necessary.

Rotate the laser 90 degrees so that either direction of the Y axis is aimed at the target. Allow the laser to re-level and make an elevation mark at the target. If the distance between this mark and the true level mark is within the laser’s accuracy specification, calibration is Calibration complete.
R10 Receiver The R10 senses the plane of laser light projected by the Alpha transmitter and indicates a height position relative to the plane (high, low, or on grade). The R10 uses a five channel front and rear LCD display to convey elevation information.
Rechargeable Battery Option The optional NiMH rechargeable battery kit is an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to alkaline batteries. NiMH batteries can be charged up to 500 times under optimum conditions and contain no hazardous materials. To use the NiMH batteries, install a set into the laser and charge them fully prior to initial use (12 hours).
Maintenance • Calibration: Calibration should be checked periodically or if the laser has been handled roughly or shipped. • Batteries: Occasionally remove the batteries and check the contacts for corrosion. Remove the batteries if the laser is to be stored for an extended period.
8 Year Warranty The Pro Shot AlphaR laser transmitter is warranted for eight years from the date of new equipment purchase from an authorised dealer. During the warranty period, Laser Reference or its authorised service center will repair or replace, at Laser Reference’s sole discretion, laser transmitters (except for transportation costs), if the product is found to be defective in workmanship or materials.
