GENERAL DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: YOUR PLS SLD DETECTOR IS DESIGNED
FOR USE WITH YOUR PLS PULSED LASER. THE PLS
SLD IS UNIQUE TO PLS LASER TOOLS. IT CANNOT BE
USED WITH A ROTARY LASER.
Please read the operating manual for your PLS pulsed tool.
They must be in the “exterior” mode to transmit to your PLS
SLD laser detector.
Liquid Crystal display (LCD’s) on the front and rear are
included for easy visual indications of grade information and
detector settings. A beeper also emits an adjustable audible
tone that indicates on-grade, high or low. Accuracy levels
are user selectable to meet various job requirements.
The detector has been specifically designed for use in con-
struction environments. Impact resistant housings, recessed
windows, water resistant design, durable battery contacts,
and an audible beeper are incorporated into every detector.
A general purpose clamp is included and
designed to
capture horizontal or vertical reference
using various
grade rods and staffs.
NOTE: For maximum detector range, make sure the
laser
transmitter
has fresh batteries.
Extreme temperatures may affect the maximum detection
range.
