Levelling to grade
Controlling depths for excavations

If set up within the self-levelling range, the Rugby automatically levels to create
an ac

curate horizontal, vertical or sloped plane of laser light. Once the Rugby
has levelled, the head starts rotating and the Rugby is ready for use. 30 sec­onds after the Rugby has completed the levelling, the H.I.Alert system becomes
active and protects the Rugby against changes in elevation caused by move­ment of the tripod to ensure accurate work.

The Rugby CLH/CLA/CLI, depending on the

onfiguration, is a dual grade laser. The laser

produces an accurate plane of laser light for
applications which require level (1), single

3.5 Axis Identification

Axis identification

When entering grade, it is important to know the correct direction in which the

ade is being entered.

gr

Refer to the following illustration to identify the correct directions of the axes.

3.6 Conversion of Slope Into Percent of Grade

Conversion of slope

Slope: The change in elevation per unit of measure (foot, metre, etc.)

P

ercent of Grade: The change in elevation per 100 units of measure (feet,

metre, etc.)

Calculating percent of grade from slope:

[Slope] x 100 = [Percent of Grade]

Example:

Slope = 0.0059

Conversion = 0.0059 x 100

Percent of Grade = 0.590%

3.7 Alignment of the Axes

Aligning X- and Y-axis

1. Align the X-axis and Y-axis.

2. Set the desired grade in the display.

Ensure that you first align the axes and then set the grade, other-

3. Rotate the Rugby slightly until the alignment marks are aligned with

y

our second control point.

☞

4. Once the Rugby is aligned, you can start working.

For the Rugby CLA/CLI the Rugby sighting scope can be used to help
with the alignment.

3.8 Precise Alignment of the Axes

Precisely aligning X­an

d Y-axis

Under most conditions, the raised alignment marks on the top of the Rugby
ar

e adequate for alignment of the axes. For a more precise alignment, you can

use the following procedure.

Objective of a precise alignment:

•

o establish Point A on the Y-axis as a reference and take an elevation

T
reading.

•

To enter grade into the X-axis and then adjust the position of the laser
until the original elevation at Point A is again found.

1. With 0.000% grade in both axes, set up the Rugby directly over a

gr

ade stake and roughly align the Y-axis to a second grade stake

(Point A).

2. Take an elevation reading at Point A using a Combo receiver and a

survey rod.

3. Enter +5.000% grade into the X-axis. When grade is entered into the

X-axis, the Y

-axis acts like a hinge or fulcrum.

32 Operation

5. Alignment:

☞

•

If the s
aligned correctly.

•

If the second reading is greater than the first reading, rotate the
Rugby clockwise (to the right) until the two readings are equal.

•

If the second reading is less than the first reading, rotate the
Rugby counter-clockwise (to the left) until the two readings are
equal.

Sighting Scope - An optional sighting scope is available for the Rugby
CLA/CLI which improves the axis alignment for second day setups. It
is recommended that you first perform the precise alignment proce­dure, and then adjust the scope to these axes.

Automatic Axis Alignment - Automatic axis alignment is possible with
the Rugby CLA/CLI using the Combo receiver. (Refer to "6.12 Auto­matic Axis Alignment")

3. Move the rod with the Combo to the top of the slope. To start the

Slope Catch process, press the Smart Target button and select the
first option.

The Rugby searches for the Combo until the on-grade position is

found. Once the on-grade position is found, the Combo screen dis­plays a tick and the Combo returns to normal operation.

4. After this signal, the receiver can be moved and used as normal. The

grade for the sloped axis is displayed on the screen and the Rugby

6.12 Automatic Axis Alignment

Description

The automatic axis alignment electronically adjusts the axes of the Rugby to

our grade stakes. The procedure is the same as the procedure described in

y
"3.8 Precise Alignment of the Axes" - except that the alignment is done elec­tronically, using the Combo.

For the automatic axis alignment, it is only necessary to position the laser and
Combo in line with two grade stakes and to start the procedure. The following
steps are done automatically:

•

The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/
+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the bat­teries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F
if possible.

•

It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the
chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high.

•

For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.

•

For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated
on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly
from the actual battery capacity available.

periodically check the accuracy of the laser and work as it progresses.

•

The Rugby is adjusted to the defined accuracy specification at the factory.
It is recommended to check the laser for accuracy upon receipt and period­ically thereafter to ensure accuracy is maintained. If the laser requires
adjustment, contact your nearest authorised service centre or adjust the
laser using the procedures described in this chapter.

•

Only enter the accuracy adjustment mode when you plan to change the
accuracy. Accuracy adjustments should only be performed by a qualified
individual that understands basic adjustment principles.

Each step of the process is very exact and may take 1 minute to complete

It is important to note the screen indications to know the status of each

It is not necessary to follow the steps in the exact order, but different rota­tion sequences result in different screen indications.
