General information

The GradoPlane 15 is a self levelling laser instrument for height measurement

and surveying. A dual grade percentage of +/-10% can be entered directly and will

be level automatically.

The instrument has the possibility to work with a laser spot or a scan beam. A high

working range and a stable beam allows work with machine control units with

rotation speed of 600 and 800 RPM.

The GradoPlane 15 instrument is waterproof and can be used outside in the

elements.

An optional radio remote control is offered that can work all functions of the laser

and has the same display as the laser instrument.

INFORMATION TO USER

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B

Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

------------

To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation

distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device

and all persons. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction

with any other antenna or transmitter. Do not install in a location such that this

device will be within 20 cm of all persons.

To comply with Industry Canada RF exposure compliance requirements, a

separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of

this device and all persons. This device must not be co-located or operating in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Do not install in a location such

that this device will be within 20 cm of all persons. For the hand held remote, do

not transmit while close to the body or while in one’s pocket or holster.

See Industry Canada RSS 102 for Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Compliance

of Radiocommunication Apparatus for exposure compliance.

Charging the instrument

The GradoPlane 15 laser has integrated rechargeable batteries.

Connect the charger to an AC outlet and attach the plug at the charge socket.

The battery symbol in the display is shown while the charging procedure is active.

If the charging is finished, the battery shows three full blocks. The instrument has

a charge controller inside, so not to overcharge, if the unit is not monitored. The

maximum charging time is 5 hours.

Use the charger only in interior and dry rooms!

Attention: Avoid the use of the charger at fuel powered current

generators. High voltage peaks may damage the charger.

Starting up the instrument

Place the instrument on a tripod in a horizontal position. Turn the

laser on with the Power Button button..

In the display a flashing level bubble is shown as long as the

laser is self levelling. When this is finished the symbol turns off.

The actual rotation speed and the battery condition are shown

in the display.

In this mode without an entered grade, the MRS/Windy function can

be activated. This decreases the sensitivity against vibrations i.e. by

wind.

Entering a grade

To enter a grade press the X/Y button

The instrument switches to the grade mode and the last used values

are shown in the display.

When the work has to be done with these values, just wait until the

instrument has self levelled.

To change the grade values press again the X/Y button. The x% is

flashing and the grade can be changed with the arrow keys

between –10% and +10%. To set the grade fast to zero; press

both arrow keys simultaneously.

Now the grade can be entered in the Y direction. Pressing

the X/Y button again enters this value and the instrument

starts to self level. When the grade is reached the rotation

of the heads starts.

In the grade mode it is not possible to activate the

MRS/Windy mode.

Tilt Function in grade mode

If the laser while working with grades is tilted or disturbed the laser will

stop and in the display the failure symbol will flash.

By pressing the X/Y and rotation button for 2 seconds at the

instrument or the remote control the levelling will be done again

and the laser will again start to work. In this case please check the

correct position of the laser instrument at you original bench mark.

When the laser is working in horizontal mode without grades and the

tilt alarm is active, it has to be turned off and on again.

Rotation speed

The laser speed can be changed from 0 RPM, 600RPM to 800RPM.

This offers a stable signal for a machine control systems. To work with

a laser spot, press gain the rotation button. The laser spot then can be

moved with the arrow keys.

Mask mode

In the mask mode the laser beam can be switched off in different

sections. This function is used to avoid interference with different laser.

It also avoids glare when in use e.g. at a motorway.

To turn on the mask function, press the mask button. The laser beam is

masked in a range of 90°. By pressing again the button it changes to

180° and then to 270°.

With the arrow buttons the masked sector can be changed to the

needed direction. In the scan mode and laser spot mode the mask function is

deactivated.

To turn off the mask mode, the laser has to be switched off.

Scan Mode

In the scan mode the laser beam projects a line. This has an advantage

when working interior as there is no receiver necessary. The line can be

moved with the arrow keys. Pressing the button gain will increase the

laser line length. To switch back to rotation press the rotation button..

Manual Mode

To use the instrument also for larger grades , e.g. roofs, it is possible to

switch off the automatic levelling. To activate this manual mode press

and hold the on button for at least 2 seconds. The display shows the

hand symbol. Now the laser can be inclined manually and the fine

alignment can be done with the arrow keys. Therefore press the X/Y

button to move the x direction, press the button again to move the y

direction. In the manual mode there is no tilt control for the position.

Operation with the remote control

With the optional available remote control all

functions of the laser can be controlled. Just the

manual mode can not be activated to avoid an

unintentional use. Turn on the remote control by

pressing any key. The display shows the same

symbols as the laser instrument.

If the laser has stopped in grade mode (Tilt control)

the X/Y and rotation button can be pressed

simultaneously for 2 seconds to confirm and restart

the laser.

If a V and three bars are shown, there is no

communication with the laser possible.

This can have the following reasons:

- The laser instrument is turned off

- The communication channel is different (see special functions)

- The distance to the laser is too large

The remote control turns off after one minute without use. This time can be

changed (see special functions). To switch off the laser and the remote control,

hold both arrow keys pressed for 2 seconds.

Do not transmit while in pocket or when held close to the body.

Change of batteries of the remote control

The battery symbol on the remote refers to the batteries in the remote, not the

laser. If the battery symbol is flashing, the batteries are empty. Take off the battery

cover and replace the batteries with new ones. Always use two new batteries size

AAA (LR03) from same type. Do not mix old and new batteries as their power will

decrease.
