1 General Description
The STORM™ laserometer is designed to receive reference
elevation information from all rotating laser levels. A large 5.0
inch(127 mm)verticalreceptionwindowcapturesthelaserbeam
using patented SuperCell™ receiving technology.
ElevationinformationisoutputviaLiquidCrystalDisplays(LCD's)
on the front and rear and Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) on the
front. A beeper also emits an adjustable audible tone.
The LCD's indicate elevation information graphically
with arrows and bars and numerically. A proportional
growing arrow graphic indicates high, low, or on-grade.
A numeric elevation display indicates on-grade and how far the
laserometer is from on-grade.
Accuracy levels, units of measure, sound levels, and various
other user options are selectable to meet a variety of job
requirements.
The unit has been specically designed for use in harsh
constructionenvironments.Stroberejectiontechnology,overmolded
housings,recessedwindows,waterproofdesignanddurabilityare
incorporated into every detector.
A general purpose clamp is included and designed to mount
the detector on various grade rods and staffs. A secondary
offset mounting location provides additional versatility is certain
applications. A patented reversible wedge on the clamp allows
sure grip mounting to round, oval, square, and rectangular rods,
as well as various sizes of wooden staffs.

Refer to §5 & 6 for detailed
operation.
2. LED's - Easy to see

3. Beeper output - Fast
audible signal is too High;
lower to get to on-grade.
Solid signal is On-grade.
Slow signal is too Low; raise
to get to on-grade.
4. Bubble Vial - aids in
keeping laserometer level
for accurate readings.
5. Photo-Sensor - Anti-strobe sensor detects strobe lights and
rejects their input on laser reception.
6. SuperCell Reception Window - Five (5) inches (127 mm) of
reception range. Window must be directed toward laser.
7. LCD (front and rear) - Displays elevation information and
laserometer settings and status. Refer to §7 for details.
8. On-grade Mark - Aligned with laser on-grade reading.

If detected, the unit will revert to the previous calibration.
Press and hold the Power switch for 2 seconds to turn power OFF.
2. Units of Measure Switch - Press once to display the current
settings in the numeric display area. Press again while the
units are displayed (within one second) to change the current
selection. Subsequent presses will scroll through the setting
selections of centimeters (cm), millimeters (mm), inches (in),
fractional inches (in), and feet (ft). For fractional inches, the
fraction bar will be displayed on the LCD. The selected setting
will always be displayed on the top of the LCD.
3. Volume Switch - Pressing the switch cycles High, Medium,
Low and Off. One beep is emitted at the selected volume when
changed. When sound if Off, a single beep will signal that a laser
