10 - Accuracy  Indicator:

Indicates  five  levels  of  accuracy  selec-

tions:  ULTRA  FINE,  SUPER  FINE,  FINE,  MEDIUM  and  COARSE.
Refer  to  page 20 (Specifications) for  the  specific  values  for  each
accuracy  selected.  No center  bar  is  displayed  for  calibration  mode.
Refer  to  page 14.  This  mode  is  intended  only  for  calibration  of
rotational lasers and not for normal operation.

METOR  allows  two  different  mounting  positions  for  the  rod clamp
which are detected automatically.

NOTE:

Other  clamps  than  the  original  METOR  clamp  can  not  be

detected  by  METOR  and  can  lead  to  measuring  errors  in  offset
position.

11 - Offset on-grade clamp position:

Clamp position is sensed

automatically  and  displayed.  Offset  clamp  position  moves  the
on-grade  location  to  allow  more  grade  information  to  be

displayed  above  grade.  This  is  useful  in  applications  where  going
below grade is not required, i.e. driving stakes down to grade.

This  symbol  is  blinking  if  a  user  defined  on-grade  position  is  set.
Refer to page 13.

12 - Center  on-grade  position:

Clamp  position  is  sensed

automatically  and  displayed.  Standard  center  position  displays
an equal amount of information above and below grade.

See chapter 11 for further information about the rod clamp.

9 Advanced Functions / Memory

Capture  /  Timer:

The  Capture  function  is  used  to  obtain  a

single  reading  and  keep  it  displayed.  This  may  be  useful
when the unit may not be visible and grade information needs

to be obtained.

When  in  the  laser  beam  and  power  on,  momentarily  press  the
Power/Capture  switch.  The  current  elevation  reading  will  be  saved.
A flashing display  will confirm the reading has been captured. Press
any switch to return to normal operation.

When out of the laser beam and power is on, momentarily press the
Power/Capture  switch.  A  short  intermittent  beep  and  'WAIT'
displayed on the LCD confirm the  Timer mode. (The beeper  will turn
on  to  Low  if  it  was turned  off.)  Place  the  receiver  in  the  beam.  The
beeper  will chirp  rapidly after  approximately  five seconds  confirming
beam  capture.  A  flashing  display  will  also  confirm  the  reading  has
been captured. Press any switch to return to normal operation.

Memory:

Memory  key  allows  storing  and  displaying  stored

measurements.

After  pressing  the  Memory  key  while  displaying  a

measurement  (while  in  beam  or with  a  captured  measurement),  the
Slot  number  will  blink  below  the  measurement  value.  The  slot
number  can  be  scrolled  with  the  arrow  keys  (Accuracy  and  Volume
keys).  The  measurement  is  stored  to  the  selected  slot  by  pressing
the  Memory  key  a  second  time.

CAUTION:

potentially  existing

measurement  in  this  slot  will  be  overwritten.  Power  key  cancels
storing procedure.

Pressing  the  Memory  key  while  no  measurement  is  displayed,
shows  the  contents  of  memory  (stored  measurement  and  slot
number).  Pressing  Memory  key  for  two  seconds  deletes  the  current
slot ("DEL" is displayed).

Pressing  the  Memory  key  for  two  seconds  outside memory  display
jumps to Memory menu (refer to page 17).
