HANDLE

The PLS HR 1000 is a self-leveling laser used for exterior horizontal layout. The rechargeable NIMH battery pack contains micro-controlled charging technology. The HR1000 may also be used with alkaline batteries in an optional separate battery pack.

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE STANDARD ALKALINE BATTERIES OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.

The instrument is water resistant and may be used in light rain, if necessary. Unit may not be submerged in water.

SAFTEY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety instructions

Laser Safety The PLS HR 1000 is a class IIl laser according to 21CFR1040. Follow the instructions on the warning labels which are shown in the following illustrations:

Do not remove the attached warning labels. The manufacturer and its dealers are not liable for any defects and the consequences from this removal.

! Attention ! The internal laser sources comply with laser classes II and III. Do not disassemble the instrument. In case of inappropriate repairs, laser radiation may arise in excess amounts of the marked labels and liability may be incurred if there is damage. In cases of inappropriate processing, malfunctions are possible without external visible damage.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE STANDARD ALKALINE BATTERIES.

Attention: This instrument contains NIMH rechargeable batteries. Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. WEEE-Reg.: DE23874031

The PLS HR 1000 uses rechargeable NIMH batteries.

For on-board chargeable battery, insert the battery re-charger receptacle plug in the charging panel outlet of the battery cover back.

Insert converter's AC receptacle plug in an AC outlet and insert the converter's DC receptacle plug in the charging panel's DC outlet.

When the charging lamp is on, charging is in process.

When the charging lamp is green, charging is completed.

NOTE: The charging process takes approximately 7 hours to complete for rechargeable batteries.

AC/DC converter's suitable power range: 50-60Hz; voltage 85V-265V.

If it is necessary to replace the NIMH battery, the battery chamber may be removed by turning the lock washer on the battery chamber. Purchase replacement battery chamber from an authorized PLS dealer.

Use PLS HR 1000 with caution in humid or wet weather conditions. Do not put the laser back into the case unless it is thoroughly dry. Condensation may corrode the battery connections and/or cause distortion of beams in lighthouse.

FUNCTIONS

KEYPAD OPERATION

FUNCTIONS AND INDICATORS

1) Power switch: turn on or off unit.

2) Power light: red light, power on.

3) Low Battery lndicator: LED blinks,

the battery should be charged or replaced.

4) Tilt or ADS (automatic drift system) blinks slowly when active, blinks quickly to warn user of a change in alignment from original set up.

2) POWER

LIGHT

Press 1 (See keypad chart) The unit is self-leveling and power light is lit. Press the key again and the unit will turn off.

Rotation Mode

After laser has automatically leveled, the laser beam stops blinking. The laser will rotate at 1000 r.p.m. If the gradient exceeds ±5º, the laser will not rotate.

NOTE: If the unit does not level within 5 minutes, it will shut off.

Automatic Drift System

Press 4. Press the TILT key, the power indicator blinks slowly. After the instrument has leveled automatically for about 3 seconds, the ADS function is activated. The power indicator will blink quickly, and automatic leveling function shuts off when the instrument is disturbed by external circumstances. At the same time, the laser module will stop scanning and start blinking.

Power switch

APPLICATIONS

Turn the instrument on. The leveling LED is flashing and the instrument is self leveling. If the LED lights continuously the rotary head starts and the laser beam will be turned on. Attach the PLS HVD 505R Detector at this reference point on a rod and move this height to zero. Now the respective difference in levels to the reference height can be measured on the ground. It is useful to use a flexible rod to measure positive and negative values simply.

CHECKING CALIBRATION

Height Transfer (Leveling)

..................................................

The PLS HR 1000 should be checked, like all measuring instruments, before use. Set the PLS HR 1000 on a stable surface. Turn the laser on and let it level. Mount the PLS HVD 505R Detector at a fixed distance, e.g. at 90 feet, and move it onto the laser plane. Now turn the instrument around to each 90° point and let the instrument level. In each case, measure the difference to the first height. If the deviation is smaller than 3/32 inch, the instrument is within the specification. In the case of larger deviations the instrument has to be calibrated.
