2.Press and hold the power/audio button for one second to turn off the receiver.

Turning On/Off LEDs

The LEDs show the position of the receiver relative to the laser beam. Turning off the LEDs extends battery life.

The factory default setting for the LEDs is on.

1.Press the grade-sensitivity and power/audio buttons at the same time to turn the LEDs on or off.

Note: When the LEDs are turned on, all LEDs light for one second; when the LEDs are turned off, both red LEDs light for one second.

Laser Setup with a Tripod

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 or 1/4" x 20 tripod with adapter (0002-3420).

3.Turn on the laser and receiver.

Selecting the Grade Sensitivity

The receiver always starts up with the on-grade sensitivity (fine) active.

1.Press the grade-sensitivity button repeatedly to select between fine: 1.5 mm

(1/16 in.) and medium: 3 mm (1/8 in.) grade sensitivity.

Selecting the Audio Function

The receiver always starts up with the audio mode (loud) active.

1.Press the power/audio button repeatedly to cycle through the audio levels, which include off, soft, and loud.

Note: If the audio function is on, the receiver beeps quickly when the receiver is above the laser beam, slowly when below it, and continuously when centered in the laser beam or on grade.

Using the Receiver with a Laser

1.Press the power/audio button to turn on the receiver. Also make sure the Receiver Operation LED on the 5.2XL laser is GREEN (if not, press the RECEIVER button on the 5.2XL)

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.

Determining the Height of Instrument (HI)

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.

Height of Instrument (HI)

Rod Reading 1.32 m (4.34 ft)

Benchmark

30.55 m (100.23 ft)

HI = Rod Reading + Benchmark

HI = 1.32 m + 30.55 m = 31.87m (4.34 ft + 100.23 ft = 104.57 ft)

Note: The top/bottom LED flashes when the receiver is within 6 mm (1/4 in.) of being on grade and light continuously when the receiver is between 6 mm and 25 mm (1/4 in. and 1 in.) of being above or below the laser beam. The green LED flashes when the receiver is on grade.

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 lenses 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 lenses.

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.

Warranty

Trimble warrants the 5.2XL to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of three years. For the first 24 months, Trimble or its authorized Dealer or service center will repair or replace, at its option, any defective part, or the entire product, for which notice has been given during the warranty period. For months 25 through 36 an exchange fee may apply. This warranty period is in effect from the date the system is delivered by Trimble or its authorized Dealer to the purchaser, or is put into service by a Dealer as a demonstrator or rental component.

Trimble or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace, at its option, any defective part or components of which notice has been given during the warranty period.

Customers should send products to the nearest Authorized Factory, Dealer, or Service Center for warranty repairs, freight prepaid. In countries with Trimble Service Subsidiary Centers, the repaired products will be returned to the customer, freight prepaid.

Any evidence of negligent, abnormal use, accident, or any attempt to repair equipment by other than factory-authorized personnel Trimble certified or recommended parts, automatically voids the warranty.

Special precautions have been taken to ensure the calibration of the laser; however, calibration is not covered by this warranty. Maintenance of the calibration is the responsibility of the user.

The foregoing states the entire liability of Trimble regarding the purchase and use of its equipment. Trimble will not be held responsible for any consequential loss or damage of any kind.

This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, except as set forth above, including an implied warranty merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose, is hereby disclaimed. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied.

Laser Safety

Use of this product by people other than those trained on this product may result in exposure to hazardous laser light.

Do not remove warning labels from the unit.

The 5.2XL is Class 3A/3R (< 5mW, 600 ... 680 nm).

Never look into the laser beam or direct it to the eyes of other people.

Always operate the unit in a way that prevents the beam from getting into people‘s eyes.

NOTE: It is required to post a Laser Safety Sign and to read, sign and carry a Laser Operator's Card when this laser is operated in public places.
