RC400X Remote Control Operation (Fig. 24) - For model ALGR only
This section covers the use of the optional remote control (Cat. #57-RC400X). The remote controls
all functions except power, ADS, and calibration features, with a range of up to 100 feet (30m).
Requires two AA Alkaline batteries.
(1)
The “Mode” button must be depressed every time the user wants to change the action
performed. For example: if the user wants to change from rotation to spot mode,
the user must press the “Mode” button and then either the “Counter-Clockwise” or “Clockwise”
button to initiate spot mode.
The (2) “CCW” and (3) “CW” buttons will activate spot mode and move the spot “CCW” and “CW”.
They perform the same CCW and CW movement for the instrument while in sweep mode as well.
Pressing the (4) “Up” or (5) “Down” button
after pressing the “Mode” button will start the rotary
head speed at the last RPM setting (the RPM setting defaults to 600 RPM at startup). The “Up”
and”“Down” buttons will now incrementally increase or decrease the rotary head speed.
Once in Grade Mode, the “Down” and “Up” buttons will decrement/increment the Y-axis grade
respectively.
The (6) “Long” and (7) “Short” buttons
activates the sweep function. The “Long” button elongates
the sweep and the “Short” button shortens it. The “CCW” and”“CW” buttons moves the sweep
line either CCW or CW, as mentioned previously.
The (8) “PtoP” button activates the point-to-point mode after the “Mode” button has been
depressed. Use the”“CCW” or “CW” buttons to set the first end point, then depress the “PtoP’
button. Again use the “CCW” or “CW” buttons to set the second end point, then depress the
“PtoP’ button: the instrument will start to sweep between the two set endpoints. Use the’“CCW”
or “CW” buttons to move the laser spot CCW or CW.
Pressing the (9) LEFT or (10) RIGHT button after pressing the MODE button will put the instrument
into Grade Mode. Once in Grade Mode, the LEFT and RIGHT buttons will decrement/increment the
X-axis Grade respectively.
Laser Head Positioning- Vertical Laydown Mode The ”Left” and”“Right” buttons position the laser
reference point when the instrument is in the plumbing position (control panel facing upward) in all
modes of operation (rotate, spot, and sweep). (Only used with instruments equipped with the
vertical laydown feature.)
Please refer to Operation Section of the manual for complete operating instructions.
