Turning On/Off the Receiver
1.Press the power/audio button to turn on the receiver.
Note: When the receiver is initially turned on/off, all LCD symbols, LEDs, and the audio
signal are turned on for one second. Audio On
2.Press and hold the power/audio button for one second to turn off the receiver.

Using the Receiver with a Laser
1.Press the power/audio button to turn on the receiver. Also make sure the Receiver Mode LED on the 1.5PL laser is RED (if not, press the RECEIVER button on the 1.5PL).
2.Position the receiver so that its photocell faces the laser.
3.Move the receiver up/down until the LCD and LEDs show an on-grade reading.
Note: The LCD shows a down arrow when the receiver is above the laser beam, an up arrow when below it, and a horizontal line when centered in the laser beam. The LED is red for above grade. green for on grade, and blue for below grade.

1.Set up the tripod in the middle of your work area (or wherever is best for your application needs). Make sure the setup is stable.
Note: The typical operating radius of the system is 75 m (250 ft).
Note: For best system performance, do not set up the laser within 6 m (20 ft) of a wall. Also do not use the receiver within 6 m (20 ft) of the laser or within 1.5 m (5 ft) of a wall. At these close ranges, the receiver’s electronics may give incorrect beam elevation information due to the laser beam reflecting off of the walls.
2.Attach the laser directly to a 5/8 x 11 tripod. Use the optional adapter (p/n 0002-3430) for 1/4 x 20 tripods.
3.Turn on the laser and receiver.
The height of instrument (HI) is the elevation of the laser’s beam. The HI is determined by adding the grade-rod reading to a benchmark or known elevation.
1.Set up and level the laser.
2.Attach the receiver to a grade rod and turn on the receiver.
3.Place the grade rod on a job-site benchmark (BM) or known elevation.
4.Slide the receiver up/down the grade rod until the LCD shows an on-grade reading.
5.Add the grade-rod reading to the benchmark to determine the height of instrument.
Example: Benchmark elevation | = | 30.55 m | (100.23 ft) |
On-grade rod reading | = | + 1.32 m | (4.34 ft) |
Height of instrument | = | 31.87 m | (104.57 ft) |
6. Use this HI as a reference for all other elevations.

Maintenance and Care
Handling Precautions
When transferring the laser from a very low temperature to a warmer environment or visa versa, always allow time for the laser to reach the new temperature before using. Allowing this time is especially important when transferring the laser from an extremely heated/cold vehicle to the job site.
System Cleaning
For maximum performance and accuracy always keep the windows clean. When cleaning, apply very light pressure and use only a good quality glass cleaner on a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the laser and its windows.
CAUTION: A dry cloth or abrasive organic cleaner could scratch or damage these surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the laser.
Storage
When you’re not using the laser, store it in its pouch/carrying case.
CAUTION: Do not store the laser in a wet pouch/carrying case. If the pouch/carrying case gets wet, let it dry before storing the laser in it.
Calibration
Before each use, be sure to check the laser for signs of damage. If the laser has been dropped or subjected to other rough treatment, it should be checked for accuracy. For instruction on checking calibration, please visit our website support list at www.trimble.com/support.shtml
