Laser Receiver
System Description
The laser receiver is a rugged, multipurpose, easy-to-use electronic
sensor that detects laser light generated by rotating laser transmitters.
The receiver is designed to work with nearly all makes and models of
rotating lasers and will detect both visible and invisible beams. When
installed, the operator is given visual indication of the reference plane
of laser light’s position relative to the cutting edge of the machine. The
receiver can be adapted to many different types of construction and
agricultural machinery.
The receiver has several selectable settings. Deadband size (accuracy)
has three settings to meet job site requirements. LED display brightness
can be set to meet light conditions. Additional user preferences can be
set and are detailed in this manual.
A super-bright LED display has green on-grade diodes and red high
and low diodes for quick, easy to distinguish grade information. 5
channels of grade position information as well as high or low lost beam
indication are displayed. Individual LED's also inform battery status and
deadband selection.
A strong, durable upper and lower housing made with aluminum
castings and a polycarbonate center section provides a sealed
compartment for the electronics. The electronics are isolated from the
rest of the unit by internal rubber shock-mounts, protecting the unit
from shock and vibration damage. Clamps on each end securely grip
42 mm to 50 mm (1.66” to 2.00") round tubing or 38 mm (1.50") square
tubing with rounded corners.
An accessory connector is provided for the optional remote display,
machine power cable, or rechargeable battery charger. The connector
may also be used to communicate with a control box for automatic control.
The center 5 cm (2 inches ) of the receiving area contain proportional
photocells which optimizes automatic control performance.
