General Setup
Location
Make sure the location is clear of possible obstructions that may block or reflect the
laser beam.
Make the most efficient use of the Rugby’s operating radius. The Rugby can be placed
in the center of the working area or to one side.
Make sure the ground is stable. Ground vibration and extremely windy conditions can
affect the operation and accuracy of the Rugby.
If working in very dusty conditions, place the Rugby up-wind. The dirt will then be
blown away from the Rugby and reduce interference.
Recommended
head speeds
The typical head speed for general construction applications is 10 rps (600 rpm).
When working at extended distances, decreasing the head speed (increasing the
pulse time on the receiver) or changing the band width of the receiver to wide band
can improve the laser range and performance.
Tripod setup
Attach the Rugby securely to a tripod or laser trailer, or mount it on a stable level
surface.
Always check the tripod or trailer before beginning work.
Make sure all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
If your tripod has chains, they should be slightly loose to allow for thermal expansion
during the day.
