6.3.1 Moving the excavator with laser receiver
When the excavator is moved to a new place and depth is being measured, a rotating laser has to
be set to horizontal level.
Set the laser transmitter to horizontal level at any height. Go to the “Main menu” → “Laser”. Press
“Right arrow” twice to enter page 3/3 and set the laser ON. It is also possible to control the laser
with the “Power” button (see chapter 3.1). Pressing the “Power” button will turn the laser “ON” or
“OFF”.
Move the boom slowly, so that the laser receiver hits the laser beam. It is advisable to move the
dipper stick to as upright position as possible when reaching the laser beam. The laser receiver
symbol on the screen indicates laser hits. The laser hit has been accepted when the text “Hold!”
changes to “Hit accepted!” and the black background changes to a white background (Figure 27).
Move the bucket to a stake or other reference point. Zero the measurement value by pressing the
“0.0” button (Figure 28) (“Starting level” = “0.00” in this example).
