Product General description The laser may have been shipped to you with rechargeable NiMH battery pack or with alkaline batteries. In any case alkaline batteries can be used as a backup to power the laser at the job site. When alkaline batteries are used, the plus and minus symbols at the battery door indicate how to put the alkaline batteries into the battery compartment.
Product Components LL1505C Laser (Refer to pages 2 and 3) Power Button Press for one second to turn on the Laser; press and hold for 2 seconds to turn off the laser Battery LED Shows the amount of battery charge Leveling/Bluetooth®...
WILL RESULT IF CHARGING IS ATTEMPTED. Close the battery door. The LL1505C can be used with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack, which is keyed to prevent mis-insertion. The way it is designed allows only the correct installation. Alkaline batteries can be used as a backup.
3.5.2 Battery status indication WHY: The customer needs to know the battery status when starting the work at the job site. WHAT: The battery indication shows the remaining battery capacity for the rechargeable battery pack. The battery indication is also shown for alkaline batteries, but the true remaining battery lifetime depends on the battery brand.
Note: The batteries should only be charged when the temperature is between 41°F and 104°F (5°C to 40°C). Charging at another temperature than specified may not start the charging process. Waiting for a temperature change may finally start the charging process when the temperature was too low. Note: The charger has a security timer.
10 minutes, the unit shuts down completely. Menu Navigation via RC1402 Only WHY: All features of the LL1505C can be accessed by a menu driven interface using the remote control RC1402. This is an intuitive way to operate the laser that is also easy to remember since it does not require certain two or three finger button presses.
HOW: Option 1: When powering the LL1505C, it is in connectivity mode for the first thirty seconds. During this time start the Laser Remote App. When starting the Laser Remote App for the very first time after installation, accept the EULA.
Pic 5 Horizontal automatic mode The display shown in picture 5 is available via the remote control RC1402 only. Manual Mode Horizontal WHY: For some applications the user may require a non-level laser plane. This can be used to align non-level elevations or reference hubs. The laser can be sloped in both axes when in horizontal manual mode.
The LL1505C can shut off the laser beam in one, two or three sections. These sections are limited to the size of the lighthouse windows in the four axes. The status of the mask mode is shown on the standard display LCD of the remote control;...
Option 2: Press and release the M button (r) at the keypad of the remote control to enter the menu. Select >>Mask Mode<<, (pic 9). Depending on the sector the beam should be shut off, the desired sector can be selected. For selecting the sector, press and release one of the arrow buttons.
HOW: Press and hold the manual button (o) at the laser or RC1402 remote control for three seconds to bring the laser into the standby mode. Press and hold the manual button (o) again for three seconds to deactivate the standby mode and to restore full operation of the laser.
14 PlaneMatch (Y-Axis) = Automatic Single Axis Slope The PlaneMatch function requires a remote control RC1402 or the laser remote app. WHY: On some jobsites the fall or the rise of the ground or between two existing elevations is not known. It is the goal to match the fall/raise of the ground or between the two existing elevations.
Page 20
Note: When the function PlaneMatch is complete, the laser will be in single axis slope mode for the Y axis. This means, the Y axis is in manual mode and the X axis is in automatic self-leveling mode. There might be no warning for changes in the Y axis when there is a drift of the laser plane.
Download the app from the store to your smartphone and install it. HOW: Option 1: When powering the LL1505C it is in connectivity mode for the first thirty seconds. During this time start the Laser Remote App. When starting the Laser Remote App for the very first time after installation, accept the EULA.
This is why the LL1505C provides a delay time for the Shock Warning. The delay time for Shock Warning should allow the user a certain amount of set-up time without any alarm of height changes.
HOW: On the remote control press the M button (r) to enter the menu. Scroll to >>Settings<<, press the E button (s), scroll to >>HI-Alert<< (see pic 21), press E button to open the HI-alert submenu. Choose delay time 5 min (default), (see pic 22), 30 seconds or HI-Off, (see pic 23), by scrolling to the option and confirming by pressing the E button on the remote control or in the laser remote app when used.
WHY: The company using the LL1505C may have employees from different countries. The laser may be shifted from one person to another, each with a different native language. Each person on a job site using the LL1505C wants to use the laser in their known language.
WHAT: The LL1505C provides six different radio channels. Those are 0 (default), 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. HOW: The radio channel can be changed only using the remote control! Press M button (r) on the remote control to enter the menu.

Information about the runtime of the laser is the time the laser has been used since it was produced. The runtime is shown in hours and minutes. It cannot be set to zero. Information about the current radio channel that has been selected for the communication path is available.

Determining the Height of Instrument (HI) WHY: For most applications it is necessary that the height of instrument (HI) is known because it is used as a reference height and control elevation on a regular basis. WHAT: The height of instrument (HI) is the elevation of the laser beam in relation to a benchmark or reference point.
18 Vertical Application WHY: The LL1505C can be set up in vertical position but the laser is now in manual mode only. This allows the usage of the laser when self-leveling is not required to use the laser as a non-level reference. Maybe the application assures that the reading will be done at the same elevation by purpose.
After completing PAIR OK will be displayed on the receiver and a long beep occurs. The LL1505C has been paired with this receiver and turns back to the standard function. On the HL760 press and release the power button twice to exit the menu at the receiver.
After completing PAIR, OK will be displayed on the receiver and a long beep occurs. The LL1505C has been paired with this receiver and turns back to the standard function. On the CR700 press and release the power button once to exit the menu. A laser symbol and an antenna are lit to confirm the receiver is ready for communication with the laser.
20.3 Pairing The Remote Control RC1402 With The Laser WHY: The communication between remote control RC1402 and the laser LL1505C is based on a radio communication path. This enables a unique communication path that ensures only the paired laser will be controlled by the paired remote control.
Menu functions for the LL1505C: >>Rotation<< >>PlaneMatch<< >>Single Slope<< >>Mask Mode<< >>Settings<< >>Info<< >>Service<< 21 Troubleshooting Any error message at the remote control RC1402 or the app can be confirmed with a short press on the button E or on the OK (app). The table below shows the related description and possible solutions.

Laser beam blocked Press E button (s) on the remote control or the OK button in the app to delete the error message. Make sure there are no obstacles between the laser and HL760/CR700 receiver during the operation. The receiver needs to receive the laser beam all the time during this function.
22 Check Accuracy 22.1 Checking accuracy of the Y- and X Axis 1. Set up the laser 30 m (100 ft.) from a wall and allow it to level. 2. Raise/lower the receiver until you get an on-grade reading for the –Y axis. Using the on-grade marking notch of the receiver as a reference, make a mark on the wall.
23 Service 23.1 Technician Menu Access to Technician menu, see pic 47, is only possible for trained service dealer personnel. Pic 47 Technician menu 24 Protect the Unit Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures or temperature changes (do not leave inside the car).
