System Description
The laser receiver is a rugged, multipurpose, electronic receiver that detects
laser light generated by rotating laser transmitters. The unit 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 also be installed with a control box for automatic control on certain grading
machines. The features and versatility built into the receiver provide a product
that can increase the utilization and productivity of many different types of
construction and agricultural machinery.
The operator can customize the settings of the reeiver to meet job site requirements.
Settings are provided for adjusting on-grade deadband or accuracy, location of
"on-grade" for grading or excavation, plumb indication and accuracy, blade tilt
indication and accuracy, LED display for bright or dim conditions, and a laser
out-of-level warning.
The super-bright, built-in LED grade display provides up to 7 channels of grade
elevation position, plus high and low lost beam indications that can be turned
off if desired. Status LED's provide five channels of blade tilt indication and low
battery indication in addition to selection status.
A tough sealed waterproof housing is designed to work in the tough machine
mounted environment. The electronics are isolated from the rest of the unit
by internal rubber shock-mounts, protecting the unit from shock and vibration
damage.
