Introduction

Thank you for choosing one of the Spectra Precision Lasers from the Trimble family of precision lasers. The grade laser is an easy-to-use tool that offers accurate horizontal, vertical and sloped laser reference up to 1300 ft (400 m) away using a receiver.

For Your Safety

For hazardless and safe operation, read all the user guide instructions.

•Use of this product by people other than those trained on this product may result in exposure to hazardous laser light.

•Do not remove warning labels from the unit.

•The GL622/GL612 is a class 2 laser (<3,4mW) IEC 60825-1:2007)

•Never look into the laser beam or direct it to the eyes of other people.

•Always operate the unit in a way that prevents the beam from getting into people‘s eyes.

•If initial service is required, which results in the removal of the outer protective cover, removal must only be performed by factory-trained personnel.

Caution: Use of other than the described user and calibration tools or other procedures may result in exposure to hazardous laser light.

Caution: Using different than described at the GL6X2 user guide, may result in unsafe operation.

HOW TO USE THE LASER SYSTEM

POWERING THE LASER

Batteries

WARNING

Ni-MH batteries may contain small amounts of harmful substances. Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time, and after not using it for an extended length of time. Charge only with specified chargers according to device manufacturer‘s instructions. Do not open the battery, dispose of in fire or short circuit; it may ignite, explode, leak or get hot causing personal injury. Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Keep the battery away from children. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately

Recharging the Batteries

The laser is shipped with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack.

Note: The approximate charge of the batteries is shown at the left top side of the LCD.

The charger requires approx. 10 hours to charge empty rechargeable batteries.

For charging, connect the plug of the charger to the recharge jack of the battery pack.

New or long-time out-of-use rechargeable batteries reach their best performance after being charged and recharged five times. For Indoor applications the charger can be used as a power supply for the GL.

Alkaline batteries can be used as a backup. Insert 4 D-cell batteries noting the plus

(+) and minus (-) diagrams inside the battery housing.

The batteries should only be charged when the laser is between 50° F and 104° F (10°C to 40°C). Charging at a higher temperature may damage the batteries. Charging at a lower temperature may increase the charge time and decrease the charge capacity, resulting in loss of performance and shortened life expectancy.

RC602 Radio Remote Control

Powering the RC602

1.Open the battery door using a coin or similar pry device to release the battery door tab on the RC602. RC602 will be shipped with alkaline batteries Rechargeable batteries can be used optional but need to be charged externally

2.Insert two AA batteries noting the plus (+) and minus (-) diagrams inside the battery housing.

3.Close the battery door. Push down until it “clicks” into the locked position.

Turning On/Off the Radio Remote Control

The radio remote control is a hand-held device that allows you to send operational commands to the laser from a remote location.

Press the power button to turn on the radio remote control. A “” and additional vertical bars appear in the right corner of the remote’s top display line indicating the radio connection status between the laser and the remote control.

Note: When the remote control is initially turned on, the standard display (model number and software version) appear for the first 3 seconds, then the axes symbols and last-entered grade for each axis briefly appear in the LCD.

With every button press, the LCD backlight is activated and turns off automatically if no button is pressed for 8 seconds.

To turn off the radio remote control, press and release the power button.

Note: 5 minutes after the last button press, the remote control turns off automatically.

LASER SETUP

Position the laser horizontally (tripod mount and rubber feet downward!) on a stable platform, wall mount or tripod at the desired elevation.

The laser recognizes automatically whether it is used horizontally or vertically when switched on.

Turning On/Off the laser

Press the power button to turn On/Off the laser.

Note: Depending on the setup (horizontal or vertical) and if a grade value has been dialed in, the unit starts the temperature/reference check while the thermometer symbol is flashing.

Whenthetemperature/reference checkhasbeenfinished,thestandarddisplayappearsandthebubblesymbols flash until self-leveling has been completed.

If the self-leveling can’t be finished based on the selected sensitivity, an error message appears.

Standard Features

X-Y-grade entering – Step and Go mode

Quickly press and release button 2 starts the grade entering mode. Both grade values will be shown. Press/release button 1 a grade reverse Y

Press/release button 2 a grade reverse X (only GL622) Press/release button 3 a return to the standard display

Quickly press and release button 4 to confirm the selected grade value and return to the standard display

Press and hold button 6 or 7 (left/right) to change X- axis grade value (only GL622) after the comma; press and hold buttons 6 + 7 simultaneously starts X-axis quick change mode where the grade value in front of the comma will be set to 0% and then starts changing in 1% increments.

Press and hold button 5 or 8 (up/down) for changing Y -axis grade value; press and hold buttons 5 + 8 simultaneously starts Y - axis quick change mode where the grade value in front of the comma will be set to

0% and then starts changing in 1% increments.

Note: The speed of the grade value change increases with the amount of time the button is held down.

Note: The grade value for both axes increases in 1.00% increments. When the grade value for either axis reaches its highest amount, the grade value switches to the lowest value for that axis. For example, the value switches from +25% to -25%.

The laser will self-level to the required grade position after confirming the grade change with button 4.

Note: The bubble symbols at the laser’s LCD will flash until the laser has been self-leveled to the requested grade position.

X-Y-grade entering – Digit Select mode (Default)

Quickly press and release button 2 starts the grade entering mode. . Both grade values will be shown.

Press/release button 1 a quick set to 0%

Press/release button 2 a change the sign in front of the grade value Press/release button 3 a return to the standard display.

Quickly press and release button 4 to confirm the selected grade value and return to the standard display.
