Introduction
The LDR and LDG Laser Level Detectors (the Detector or
Product) are battery-powered instruments that sense lasers
difficult to see with the human eye. Use the Product with the
180LR or 180LG (the Laser Level) to identify new level and
grade marks. The LDR senses a red laser. The LDG senses
a green laser.

Figure 2. Rod Clamp Attachment
Use the Detector
Use the Detector and the Laser Level to identify new level
and grade marks.
To identify new level and grade marks:
1. Put the bottom of the Laser Level on a stable surface or
tripod.
2. Connect the Detector to a measuring rod or staff.
3. Turn on the Laser Level and the Detector and direct the
las
er toward the laser reception window of the Detector.
See Figure 3.
4. Move the Detector up and down the rod until the laser
lev
el on the LCD indicates the Detector is level with the
laser. If the beeper is on, the Detector also emits a solid
output signal when the Detector is level with the laser.
5. Secure the Detector to the rod and take measurements
s needed.
a
Note
When the Laser Level is mounted on a tripod, make
e the tripod head is perfectly level. Errors in
sur
marks can result if a tripod is out of level.
