2 General Description

AndroTec METOR is a handheld laser receiver, designed to receive
and  to  display  reference  elevation  information  from  red  and  infrared
rotational lasers.  A large  127mm vertical  reception window  captures

the laser beam using AndroTec’s patented X²L sensor technology.

Elevation  information  is  output  via  two  Liquid  Crystal  Displays
(LCDs) on the front and rear and three bright LEDs on the front side.
A beeper also emits an adjustable audible tone.

The LCD’s indicate elevation information graphically with arrows and
bars and numerically. A proportional growing arrow graphic indicates
high,  low,  or  on-grade.  A  numeric  elevation  display  indicates  on-
grade and how far the laser receiver is from on-grade.

Accuracy  levels,  units  of  measure,  sound  levels  and  various  other
user options are selectable to meet a variety of job requirements.

METOR was  specifically designed for  use in harsh  construction en-
vironments.  Strobe  rejection  technology,  over  molded  housings,  re-
cessed  windows,  waterproof  design  and  durability  are  incorporated
into every AndroTec METOR.

A general-purpose clamp is included and designed to mount the de-
tector on various grade rods and staffs. A secondary offset mounting
location  provides  additional  versatility  in  certain  applications.  A  pa-
tented  reversible  wedge  on  the  clamp  allows  sure  grip  mounting  to
round,  oval,  square,  and  rectangular  rods,  as  well  as  various  sizes
of wooden staffs.
