System Description
The laser receiver is a rugged, multipurpose, electronic receiver that detects
laser light generated by rotating laser transmitters. The unit works with nearly
all 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 or digging depth of the machine.
The receiver can also be installed with a Control Box for automatic control on
certain grading machines.
The operator can adjust the settings of the receiver to meet job site requirements.
Settings are provided for adjusting the dead-band size or accuracy, on-grade
location for grading or excavation, display brightness and more.
The ultra-bright, built-in LED display provides up to 8 channels of grade
elevation position, plus high and low lost beam indications.
Built in plumb indication allows for quick and accurate grade checks. The new
Angle Compensation for Excavators (ACE) mode also allows grade checking
at extended dipper arm swing angles once a simple set-up procedure
is
completed.
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.
Controls and Displays
1. Aluminum cast upper and lower
housings.
2. Polycarbonate housing - protects
the electronics.
3. Receiving Windows - four sets of
photocells equally spaced to allow 360
degree reception.
4. Ultra-bright LED array - highly visible,
graphically displays blade or bucket
position. Green on-grade LED's and
red off-grade LED's for quick visual
indication.
5. Set-up length scale - used for initial
set-up in wide Angle Compensation for
Excavation (ACE) mode.
6. Power Switch - turns the unit on and
off. Also operates as a "shift" key for
secondary receiver functions.
7. Liquid Crystal Display - Indicates
current receiver settings and battery
status.
8. Touchpanel Switches - allow adjust-
ment of settings.
9. Mounting Knobs - large knobs at-
tached to stainless steel clamps allow
for quick and easy installation to mast or magnetic mount.
10. Access screws - allow easy access to battery compartment for
replacement of batteries.
11. Accessory Connector and Dust Cap - connector accepts the cable
to the optional remote display, machine power cable, or automatic
control box. Connector also accepts Ni-MH battery charger. Dust
cap helps keep the connector clean.

Battery Installation / Charging
Battery Installation: Remove the BULLSEYE from its carrying case. Hold the
unit so the accessory connector is pointing upwards. Remove the dust cap
from the accessory connector. Loosen the two thumb screws and remove
the battery access cover. Install four batteries as shown on the label diagram
inside the battery compartment noting the (+) and (-) terminals.
Replace the battery access cover. Firmly tighten the two thumbscrews. Ensure
the battery access cover is aligned and fully engaged into the battery housing.
Use a screwdriver if necessary. Replace the accessory connector dust cap.
Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) Batteries: Batteries are initially shipped fully
charged but the charge may decrease over time prior to first use. They may
require 2 or 3 charging cycles to obtain maximum battery life. To charge, remove
the dust cap from the accessory connector. Insert the cannon adapter into the
receiver accessory connector aligning the slot and connector key. Insert the
charger female barrel connector into the cannon adapter.
Assure the proper AC prongs are on the charger. To change the prong
configuration, press the tab release in the arrow direction and remove the existing
prong adapter. Insert proper adapter and release the tab.
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. Do not operate the receiver when
it is charging.

Battery Installation / Charging
Built-in overcharging protection prevents damage if the unit is left on charge
after being fully charged. There is also protection to prevent charging alkaline
batteries.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to charge alkaline or other
disposable batteries.
NOTE: Do not charge Ni-MH batteries when ambient temperature
exceeds 113° F (45° C) or is less than 32° F (0° C).
The rechargeable battery electronics include a charge status and charge error
indicator located on the back of the housing.
Charge Status Indicator: The LED will remain solid when the unit is charging.
The LED will blink when fully charged. When charged, unplug the charger from
the outlet and remove the cannon adapter from the accessory connector.
Charge Error Indicator: If the batteries seem to be in a totally drained state
initially, the charge circuit will try to gradually charge the batteries. If charging
is unsuccessful after approximately 20 minutes, the LED will turn on solid
indicating an error with the internal battery connection, improper battery
insertion, the wrong type of battery, or a dead battery cell.
A blinking charge error LED indicates the unit is too hot or too cold to charge.
Charging will automatically start when the temperature is within the above
noted ranges.
Battery Replacement -
Remove dust cap, loosen thumbscrews, and remove
battery access cover. Remove old batteries. Install new batteries as described
on previous page.
Refer to your local requirements for the proper disposal of batteries.

Operation
Primary touch panel switch operation, battery status and out of beam indication
follow. Secondary switch operation begins on page 19.
Power Switch: Press the power switch on the touch panel to turn
the unit on. All the LED's will light and then each row will light from
top to bottom. The LCD will cycle its symbols. If the receiver is out of
the laser beam, the center green LED will flash and the LCD will be
on to confirm power is on. If the receiver is in a laser beam, a corresponding
LED grade display will be indicated.
Plumb Switch:
Three position switch - off, standard, and Angle
Compensation for Excavation (ACE) mode. Plumb indication is generally
used during excavation operations. Press the switch once to change
between standard plumb mode and plumb off. The standard plumb is
preset to a range of ± 2.5°. The LCD will show no plumb symbol when
it is turned off and will show the standard plumb indicator when the standard
plumb mode is selected. The grade indication LED's will flash quickly when the
mast and receiver are extended beyond the plumb range and will flash slowly
when retracted beyond the range. The display will be solid when the mast and
receiver are within the plumb range.
Angle Compensation for Excavation (ACE) mode: The receiver displays
grade information at wide swing angles of ± 10° to 30°. To enter this mode,
press and hold the Plumb Switch for approximately 2 seconds. The on-grade
location will automatically switch to the center on-grade and the wider plumb
angle symbol will appear on the LCD. A single or pair of LED's will be lit. These
LED's correspond to the set-up length that is input using the scale on the front
label of the display area. A set-up procedure is required to compensate for
the dippe
r arm swing arc. To determine this length and for more installation
information, please refer to the instructions beginning on page 11.
