Figure 1 shows how to connect the rod clamp to the Detector and a grade rod, measuring rod, or staff.
Figure 1. Rod Clamp Attachment
Take Measurements
To identify new level and grade marks:
1. Put the bottom of the laser level on a stable surface or tripod.
2. Connect the rod clamp to the Detector and a grade rod, measuring rod, or staff. See Figure 1 .
3. Turn on the laser level and the Detector and direct the laser beam toward the laser reception window of the
Detector. See Figure 2 .
4. Move the Detector up and down the rod until the laser level on the display indicates the Detector is level with
the laser beam. See Figure 2 .
The number of segments of the arrows on the display decreases as the Detector gets closer to on grade.
The numerical reading shows on the display. The numerical reading decreases as the Detector gets closer to
on grade.
If the beeper is on, the Detector emits a solid output signal when the Detector is level with the laser beam.
If the grade indicator lights are on, the appropriate grade indicator light turns on to indicate the position of the
Detector in relationship to the laser beam.
5. Secure the Detector to the rod and take measurements as needed.
