• The D
E
WALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without
the detector clamp. When used with the clamp, the detector can be
positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud, or post (Figure
G
).
To connect the detector to the clamp:
• Push in the clamp latch (Figure
G 3
).
• Slide the tracks on the clamp (Figure
G 4
) around the rail on
the back of the detector (Figure
F 11
) until the button (Figure
G 5
) on the clamp snaps into the latch hole on the back of the
detector (Figure
F 12
).
• Turn the clamp knob (Figure
G 6
) counterclockwise to open the
jaws on the clamp.
• Place the clamp on the rod (Figure
G 2
) so that the detector is
positioned at the height needed to work with the laser.
• Turn the clamp knob (Figure
G
6
) clockwise to secure the clamp
on the rod.
Using the Detector
1.
Set up and position the rotary laser that you will be using
according to the manufacturer’s directions. Turn the laser on and
make sure the laser is rotating and emitting a laser beam.
2.
Press the power button once on the detector to turn the detector
on.
3.
On the bottom of the display window, notice the speaker icon
(Figure
F 10
).
• To decrease the volume of the audible signal, press the volume
button (Figure
F 4
); both half circles next to the speaker icon
(Figure
F 10
)will dissappear.
• To turn off the audible signal, press the volume button (Figure
F 4
) until the speaker icon dissapears from the display
window.
4.
On the top of the display window, view the Accuracy Mode icon
(Figure
F 8
).
• indicates that the detector will give an “on grade” reading
only when the laser beam is on grade or no more than 1/25” (1
mm) above or below it.
• To change the Accuracy Mode to to have the detector
give an “on grade” reading when the laser beam is on grade
or approximately 1/8” (3 mm) above or below it, press the
Accuracy Mode button (Figure
F 3
) once. Then (Figure
F
9
) appears on the display window.
5.
Position the detector so that the Beam Detection window (Figure
F 14
) is facing the laser beam produced by the rotary laser
(Figure
G
). Move the detector up or down within the
approximate area of the beam, until you have centered the
detector.
6.
Use the marking notches (Figure
F 7
) to accurately mark the
position of the laser beam.
7.
To turn the detector off.
• On the detector, press for 3 seconds.
• If a rotary laser beam does not strike the detector’s beam
detection window, or if no detector buttons are pressed, within
30 minutes, the detector will shut itself off.
Controlling the Laser Remotely
You can control the laser unit remotely in either of these 3 ways:
• From up to 50’ away , you can use the remote to control the
laser unit (Figure
J 1
). IR sensors will maintain communication
between the remote and the laser unit.
• From up to 100’ away , you can use the D
E
WALT
®
Tool Connect™
Application on your Bluetooth
®
device to connect to the laser unit
(Figure
J 2
).
• From up to 1100’ away , you can control the laser unit by using the
DEWALT
®
Tool Connect™ Application on your Bluetooth
®
device to
connect to the detector that is connected to the laser unit (Figure
J 3
). You must press the Detector button (Figure
A 6
) on
the laser in order to connect the detector to the laser unit.
