Elevation Alert (H.I.) Function

Description of the 
Elevation Alert 
function

• The Elevation Alert or Height of Instrument (H.I.) function prevents incorrect work 

caused by movement or settling of the tripod that would cause the laser to level at 
a lower height.

• The Elevation Alert function becomes active and monitors the movement of the 

laser 30 second after the Rugby has completely levelled and the head of the laser 
starts rotating.

• The Elevation Alert monitors the laser. If disturbed, both the X-axis LED and Y-axis 

LED flash and the Rugby beeps rapidly.

• To stop the alert turn Rugby off and on again. Check the height of the laser before 

beginning to work again.

The Elevation Alert function turns on automatically every time the Rugby is 
turned on.

Disable or enable 
the Elevation Alert 
function

The Elevation Alert function can be disabled or enabled by pressing the following 
button combination: 
• With the Rugby turned on, press and hold the Up and Down Arrow buttons.
• Press the Automatic/Manual Mode button.

The Rugby beeps once to indicate the change.
