Introduction

The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without the
enclosed Detector Clamp. Without the clamp, the detector can be
held in place by hand or with the magnets on the top of the unit. The
magnets will hold the detector to steel studs or ceiling track. When
used with the clamp, the detector can be positioned on a grade rod,
leveling pole, stud or post.

Before use, remove and discard the translucent plastic tape that has
been placed on the front and back LCD indicator windows.

The D

EWALT Digital Laser Detector enables you to locate a laser

beam emitted by a Rotary Laser in bright light conditions or over
long distances. The detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor
situations where it is difficult to see the laser beam. The detector is
not for use with non-rotating lasers.

The detector gives both visual and audio signals as to the location
of the laser beam. The D

EWALT Digital Laser Detector is compati-

ble with most rotary lasers on the market today.
BATTERIES: The Digital Laser Detector is powered by 3 “AAA”

batteries. To install the batteries provided, remove the battery
compartment cover on the back of the detector by rotating the
cover counterclockwise and lifting the cover off. Figure 1 shows
the orientation of the cells in the compartment. A diagram is also
cast into the compartment as a reminder. Replace the compart­ment cover. Do not over tighten.

When the battery power is running low, a “LOW” indicator will show
in the LCD windows on the front and back. When replacing batter­ies, do not mix old and new cells.

MOUNTING ON A GRADE ROD

1. To secure your Laser Detector to a Grade Rod first attach the
detector to the clamp as shown in Fig. 2.

2. Press the Quick Release Button on the clamp and pull out the
long threaded screw.

3. Position the Laser Detector at the height needed and tighten the
clamp to the Grade Rod (Fig. 3).

4. To make adjustments in height, slightly loosen the clamp, repo­sition and retighten.

Operation

• Set up, position and level the rotary laser that you will be using.
Turn the laser on and make sure that the laser is rotating and
emitting a laser beam. NOTE: This detector has been designed
to be used only with a rotating laser. The detector will not work
with a stationary beam laser level.

• Turn the detector on by pressing the ON button. The LCD “Level
Beam Indicator” line will flash on and then off. The detector will
emit a high pitched tone for a second and ON will show in the
display window. Speaker volume is set on “High” at the factory
and may be adjusted to High, Low or Off by pressing the volume
button.

• The volume will cycle from High, to Low, to Off each time the
button is pressed. NOTE: Audio signals will only be emitted
when the rotary laser beam passes over the Beam Detection
window and the volume is set for High or Low.

• To detect the laser beam, position the front side of the detector
toward the rotary laser. Remember: The laser must be rotating.
It will be difficult to see the laser beam. Move the detector up or
down within the approximate area of the beam until you see the
display show “UP” or “DOWN” arrows and you hear the tones.

• Move the detector up when the “UP” arrow shows and down
when you see the “DOWN” arrow. When the laser beam is above
the level position the tone will beep quickly. When the laser beam
is below the level position, the tone will beep slowly. When the
laser beam finds the level position the tone will be constant and
a solid line will appear on the display. Record the level mark.

• The D

EWALT Laser Detector also has an Auto Shut Off feature.

If a rotary laser beam does not strike the beam detection window
the detector will shut itself off in 4 or 5 minutes. The unit will acti­vate again when you press the power button. The speaker vol­ume will have to be adjusted each time the unit is turned on.

Troubleshooting

THE DETECTOR WILL NOT TURN ON

• Press and release the “Power On” button.

• Check to see that the batteries are in place and in the proper
position.

• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.

• Replace the 3 AAA batteries. Turn the unit on.

• If the detector still does not turn on, take the detector to a
D

E

WALT service center.

THE DETECTOR DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE POWER
BUTTON IS PRESSED

• The power off feature is automatic. After 4 or 5 minutes, if a rotary
laser beam is not striking the window, the unit turns itself off.

THE DETECTOR’S SPEAKER MAKES NO SOUND

• Ensure that the detector is on.

• Press the speaker volume button. It will toggle from high, to low,
to mute.

• Ensure that the rotary laser is spinning and that it is emitting a
laser beam.

• If the detector is still not making any sound, take it to a DeWALT
service center.

THE DETECTOR IS NOT RESPONDING TO MY STATIONARY
LASER LEVEL

• The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector has been designed to work
only with rotary lasers.

THE DETECTOR IS GIVING OFF A TONE BUT THE LCD WIN­DOW IS NOT FUNCTIONING.

• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.

• If the LCD window is still not functioning, take the detector to a
D

E

WALT service center.

Cleaning and Storage

• Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
detector using a cloth or soft, non-metallic brush.

• Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.

• Do not immerse the detector in any liquid.

• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry—away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

Détecteur laser numérique DW0732 et
bride de retenue

SÉCURITÉ

• On doit lire et comprendre le présent feuillet de directives avant
d’utiliser le détecteur laser numérique et la bride de retenue.

• On doit également lire et comprendre le manuel d’utilisation con­cernant le laser rotatif utilisé avec le détecteur et la bride.

• Placer le laser de manière à ce qu’il soit juste au-dessus ou en­dessous de la hauteur des yeux.

DANGER : NE PAS REGARDER DIRECTEMENT LE FAIS-

CEAU LASER.

AVERTISSEMENT : ce produit contient un produit chimique qui,

dans l’État de la Californie, est reconnu comme étant susceptible de
causer le cancer, d’entraîner des malformations congénitales ou
d’être nocif pour le système reproductif.

Introduction

On peut utiliser le détecteur laser numérique DEWALT avec ou sans
la bride de retenue fournie. Utilisé sans la bride, le détecteur peut
être tenu manuellement ou encore, au moyen des aimants situés
sur le dessus s’il est fixé à un rail de plafond ou à un poteau en acier.
La bride de retenue permet de fixer le détecteur à un tube jaugeur,
à un poteau de nivellement ou à un montant.

Avant d’utiliser le détecteur, retirer et jeter la pellicule en plastique
translucide collée sur les fenêtres d’affichage à cristaux liquides
(ACL) avant et arrière.

Le détecteur laser numérique D

EWALT sert à localiser un faisceau

laser émis par un laser rotatif dans des conditions très éclairées ou
sur de grandes distances. On peut l’utiliser tant à l’intérieur qu’à l’ex­térieur, où le faisceau est difficile à percevoir. On ne doit pas utiliser
ce dispositif avec des laser non rotatifs.

Lorsque le faisceau laser traverse le détecteur, ce dernier émet des
signaux audio et visuel indiquant son emplacement. Ce dispositif
convient à la plupart des lasers rotatifs couramment vendus sur le
marché.

PILES : le détecteur est alimenté au moyen de trois piles AAA. Pour
installer les piles fournies, soulever et retirer le couvercle du com­partiment situé à l’arrière du détecteur en le tournant vers la gauche.
La figure 1 illustre l’orientation appropriée des piles à l’intérieur du
compartiment; ce dernier est également doté d’un schéma servant
d’aide-mémoire. Replacer le couvercle sans trop serrer.

Lorsque les piles s’affaiblissent, une indication de décharge
(« LOW ») apparaît sur les fenêtres d’affichage ACL avant et
arrière. Lorsqu’on remplace les piles, s’assurer de ne pas
mélanger les anciennes et les nouvelles piles.

INSTALLATION SUR UN TUBE JAUGEUR

1. Pour fixer solidement le détecteur laser sur un tube jaugeur, on
doit d’abord l’assujettir à la bride de retenue (fig. 2).

2. Appuyer sur le bouton de dégagement rapide situé sur la bride
et retirer la vis à filetage long.

3. Placer le détecteur laser à la hauteur voulue, puis serrer la bride
de retenue sur le tube jaugeur (fig. 3).

4. Pour modifier la hauteur, desserrer légèrement la bride, déplac­er le détecteur et resserrer la bride.

Fonctionnement

• Installer, placer et mettre de niveau le laser rotatif qu’on prévoit
utiliser. Le mettre en marche, en s’assurant qu’il tourne et qu’il
émette un faisceau. REMARQUE : le détecteur est conçu pour
être utilisé uniquement avec un laser rotatif; il ne fonctionnera
donc pas avec un niveau laser à faisceau fixe.

• Mettre le détecteur en position de marche en appuyant sur le
bouton approprié. Une ligne indiquant le niveau du faisceau s’al­lumera momentanément sur la fenêtre d’affichage ACL. Une
