5 Applications and Setups
30 DG711 and DG511 Pipe Laser User Guide
The process for setting up the
Model DG511/711 remains the
same. The laser beam shall be
sloped to match the plans. The
Elevation of the pipe or cut to
invert is given from the plans at
which the laser shall be used to
control that elevation, and finally
set the laser on Line to match the
orientation of the pipe run.
After all have been set, installing
pipe is accomplished by inserting a
laser target into new pipe sections
and then aligning the pipe until the
laser targets’ bull’s-eye is centered
on the beam.
Grade 5.1
Grade establishes the slope of the
pipe and is generally displayed in
percent (%). A rise of 1 m (1ft)
over a run of 100 m (100 ft ) equals
1.00%.
After setting Grade into the unit,
the laser automatically slopes the
beam to match the slope of the pipe
and maintains its slope if disturbed.
Note – Some engineering plans list
the pipe’s grade on a per foot or
per meter basis. Before using your
Model DG511/711, transfer the
engineered slope information into
the Laser according to the Grade
Display Mode feature. Consult
your salesman or service personnel
for Grade Display Mode
configuration.
Elevation 5.2
Depending on the application and
jobsite conditions, you can set the
laser to an elevation that matches
the centerline of the pipe, at some
distance above the pipe’s invert, or
set it over the top of the pipe.
