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.

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).

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.

WARNING

The greyed paragraph below is only applicable for products without radio.

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.

2.4 Setup

Location • Keep the location clear of possible obstructions that could block or reflect the laser

beam.

• Place the Rugby on a stable ground. Ground vibration and extremely windy condi­tions can affect the operation of the Rugby.

• When working in a very dusty environment place the Rugby up-wind so the dirt is
blown away from the laser.

2. Place the Rugby on the tripod.

3. Tighten the screw on the underside of the tripod to secure the Rugby on
the tripod.

• Attach the Rugby securely to a tripod or laser trailer, or mount on a stable level
surface.

• Always check the tripod or laser trailer before attaching the Rugby. Make sure all
screws, bolts and nuts are tight.

• If a tripod has chains, they should be slightly loose to allow for thermal expansion
during the day.

• Secure the tripod on extremely windy days.

Levelling to grade screen

After grade entry for one or both axes, the
Rugby waits for 8 seconds of no movement or
button presses before beginning the process.

The Rugby then displays the Levelling to
grade screen and automatically self-levels in
the horizontal plane, followed by readjusting
the servo mechanism to the desired grade
value.
After completion, the Rugby activates the
Slope/Bump Alert and Temperature Alert
functions (if enabled).

During this process, do not touch or
disturb the Rugby.

by movement or settling of the tripod that
would cause the Rugby to level at a lower
height.

The Elevation (H.I.) Alert function becomes
active and monitors the movement of the
Rugby 30 seconds after it has completely
levelled and the head starts rotating.

If the Rugby gets disturbed, the Elevation
(H.I.) Alert screen is displayed and the Rugby
beeps rapidly.

To stop the alert, turn the Rugby off and on
again. Check the height of the laser before
beginning to work again.

6Batteries

Description The Rugby 670 and Rugby 680 can be purchased with alkaline batteries or a recharge-

able Li-Ion battery pack.
The following information is appropriate only to the model you have purchased.

6.1 Operating Principles

Charging /
first-time use

Operation /
Discharging

• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv­ered with an energy content as low as possible.

• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 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 if 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.

• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.

• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

6.2 Battery for Rugby

6. Slide the locking mechanism to the centre position to prevent dirt from
getting into the charging jack.

With the rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack the battery indicator on the Rugby LCD

charged (flashing slowly) or fully charged (on, not flashing).

7 Accuracy Adjustment

About • It is the responsibility of the user to follow operating instructions and to periodi-

cally 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.

• It is recommended to perform this procedure with two people on a relatively flat
surface.

7.1 Checking the Level Accuracy
