    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.
  • Page 7: Initial Setup

    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.

  • Page 10: Calibration

    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.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12: R10 Receiver

    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.
  • Page 13: Rechargeable Battery Kit

    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).
  • Page 14: Maintenance & Troubleshooting

    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.
  • Page 15: Warranty & Specifications
