The RC-500 allows you to remotely control most function of the TP-L6 as shown below.
The RC-500 is convenient for aligning the beam while using a transit, or for saving power by temporarily putting
the unit in standby mode using the ON/OFF switch.
• Operating range by remote control:
Approx.200 m (656 ft.) (Though the pipe from a forward position)
Approx.25 m (82 ft.) (From above panel)
• The laser ON/OFF switch controls the laser beam only, not for the instrument. To turn power OFF to the
instrument, be sure to switch OFF the instrument after operation is finished. When the laser is turned off by
the laser ON/OFF switch, "STANDBY" is indicated on the display and the laser flashes once for five seconds
(standby mode).
• RC-500 is a remote controller used exclusively for TP-L6W. You cannot operate any other instrument except
TP-L6W through RC-500. You cannot operate TP-L6W through RC-200.
• To turn the laser beam ON again after the laser is turned off by the remote control, wait for 2 seconds or more
and then press the laser ON/OFF switch for 2 seconds or more.
• Large atmospheric motions could shorten the operating range by the remote control.
To prevent atmospheric motions from occurring, limit the working range within the shade or use a blower
(commercially-available) for working.
