Setting Slopes
The laser beam can be manually sloped in either the
X or Y axis (single slope) or both axes (compound
slope).Using the Slope Control pads (see page 10),
the beam can be electronically raised or lowered 5
degrees above or below the inclination of the instru-
ment. This means that slopes up to 5 degrees can
be obtained if the instrument is set up on a level sur-
face. For slopes greater than 5 degrees, the instru-
ment must be manually positioned to within 5 degrees of the slope desired.
