General Setup Information 4.1
• Prior to beginning work, decide where to place the laser for optimum coverage
of the job site.
• Place the laser on the job site where it will be out of the way of traffic and will
not be obstructed by equipment with respect to the machine-mounted receiver.
• Set the height of the tripod and laser so that the laser beam will strike the
receiver when it’s positioned correctly on a machine or grade rod.
• Adjust the laser’s alignment to the job site as needed.
• When using the radio remote control, make sure the radio remote control’s
antenna is pointing skyward and the laser’s antenna is flipped up. An “R”
appears in the right corner of the remote’s first display line indicating a
connection to the receiver has been made and the power is on.
• When the radio remote control and laser are “linked,” a flashing bar above the
“T” (antenna icon) appears in the right corner of the radio remote control’s
LCD.
• The laser-beam operating radius for the standard laser models is 460 m
(1,500 ft).
• The radio-remote-control operating radius for the standard operating modes is
230 m (750 ft). The operating radius for the radio remote control in automatic
alignment modes is 150 m (500 ft).
