1.6 Laser Classification
1.6.1 General
General The following chapters provide instructions and training information about laser safety
according to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2007-03) and technical report IEC TR
60825-14 (2004-02). The information enables the person responsible for the product
and the person who actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational
hazards.
1.6.2 Rugby 670/680
General The rotating laser built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges
from the rotating head.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 2 in accordance
with:
• IEC 60825-1 (2007-03): "Safety of laser products"
• EN 60825-1 (2007-10): "Safety of laser products"
These products are safe for momentary exposures but can be hazardous for deliberate
staring into the beam. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness and after-images,
particularly under low ambient light conditions.
Rugby 670:
Rugby 680:
According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classified as laser class 1,
class 2 and class 3R do not require:
• laser safety officer involvement,
• protective clothes and eyewear,
• special warning signs in the laser working area
if used and operated as defined in this User Manual due to the low eye hazard
level.
National laws and local regulations could impose more stringent instructions
for the safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1 (2007-03) and IEC TR 60825-14
(2004-02).

WARNING
WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Leica Geosystems for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 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, uses 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 the 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.

2 Description of the System
2.1 System Components
General description The Rugby 670 and Rugby 680 are semi-automatic lasers. Semi-automatic means that
the laser self-levels only when in Level mode, not when grade is entered.
The Rugby 670 and Rugby 680 are laser tools for general construction and levelling
applications such as:
•Setting forms
• Checking grades
• Controlling depths for excavations
If set up within the self-levelling range, the Rugby automatically levels to create an
accurate horizontal plane of laser light.
Once the Rugby has levelled, the head will start rotating and the Rugby is ready for
use.
30 seconds after the Rugby has completed the levelling, the Elevation Alert (H.I.) function becomes active and protects the Rugby against changes in elevation caused by
movement of the tripod to ensure accurate work.
The Rugby 670 and Rugby 680 can also be used to create sloped planes for applications such as:
•Driveways
•Parking lots
•Landscaping
In Grade mode the Rugby checks first the position of the beam at level, then adjusts
to the desired grade input. If a single grade is entered, the cross axis will continue to
self-level.
Once the Rugby has reached the desired grade, it does not self-level, but is monitored
by Bump Alert and temperature change functions to ensure reliable grade values.
