Introduction

Thank you for choosing one of the Spectra Precision Lasers from the Trimble family of precision pipe lasers.

The pipe laser is an easy-to-use tool that provides underground contractors line, elevation, and grade control

for installing storm, sanitary, or other gravity-flow pipe. This system can also be used for tunneling, boring, pipe alignment, or any other application requiring line, elevation, and grade control. The pipe laser projects a highly visible laser beam in a direction at a predetermined (grade) for the alignment of gravity-flow pipe. The laser light is intercepted by a target. To align the pipe, you need to position it so that the pipe laser’s beam is centered at the target’s bullseye.

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 DG813/DG613 are class 3A/3R laser (<5mW; 600 – 680nm) IEC 60825-1:2007). Class 2 version are

also available.

- 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 pipe laser user guide, may result in unsafe operation.

How to Use the Laser System 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.

Powering the Laser Recharging the Batteries

The laser is shipped with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack, it is keyed to prevent mis-insertion.

Note: The approximate charge of the batteries is shown at the top of the LCD when pressing the E button. The charger requires approx. 10 hours to charge completely discharged 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. 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.

Installing Batteries

Open the battery door by pulling out the door latches. Insert batteries (or a rechargeable battery pack) into the housing so that the negative poles are on the bigger battery spiral springs. Close the battery door and lock it by pushing the door latches back to the housing. Only the original rechargeable battery pack allows charging with the provided charger.

locks/unlocks and holds the battery

compartment in place.

3. LCD Graphic Display - shows the

power, grade, battery, out-of-level, beam position and status of the laser.

4. Grade Axis Pivot Marker - identifies

the pivot point for the grade

system

5. Line-Axis Pivot Marker and LED –

used to align a transit over the top of the

laser; lights for 15 minutes after turning on the laser or pressing one of the buttons.

6. Handle - to carry the laser easily

and to attach a safety rope in manholes

with water.

Features and Functions

7. Axis Alignment Markers - used to align

the laser when the line system is centered.

8. Mounts for scope adapter – to

attach the optional scope adapter for the

„Over the Top“ application

9. 5/8”-11 Threaded Mount – to attach the laser

to various setup accessories

10. Remote Receiver Window –

receives signals from the RC803 and SF803

11. Beam-Exit Window – provides a

clear window for the laser beam to exit the pipe laser.

Features and Functions

12. Power Button - turns the laser On/Off

(To turn off the laser, press and hold the button

for 2 seconds).

13. M – Menu Button - Quickly press and release

starts the menu entry. Use the 2 to 5

buttons to toggle through the menu.

14. E - Enter Button - Quickly press and release

to activate a selected menu function and show the actual laser and remote control battery status.

15. Escape/Lock (ESC) Button - (If pressed

simultaneously with one of the left/right or +/- buttons, it locks/unlocks the +/- or the left/right buttons, so that the unit can’t be unintentionally changed. If pressed for 5 seconds, the unit switches to the manual mode (steep grade).

Features and Functions

16. Left Line Control Button - moves the laser

beam to the left. (Simultaneously pressed with the Right Line Button, centers the line.)

17. Plus Button - increases the grade.

18. Minus Button - decreases the grade.

19. Right Line Control Button - moves the laser

beam to the right. (Simultaneously pressed with the Left Line Button, centers the line.)

Laser Setup

Position the laser at the manhole invert or on bottom of the trench at the desired elevation.

Turning On/Off the laser

Press the power button to turn On the laser; the LCD shows Initialization for one second (red and green LEDs are on - diagnostic mode).

The unit starts the temperature/reference check while the thermometer symbol is flashing.

Don‘t start automatic functions at the menu before the reference check has been finished. If an automatic function will be selected and then confirmed with the E button during the reference check, the display shows the reference check is still running.

The standard display turns on and the self-leveling will start at once.

The unit is leveled when the laser beam is no longer flashing (once every second).

To turn Off the laser, press and hold the power button for two seconds. If the laser is positioned beyond its self-leveling range of -12 to + 40%, the laser beam remains flashing. Reposition the laser within its self-leveling range. The laser’s cross axis is completely compensated over the entire roll range. Once leveled, the unit constantly monitors its level condition. Depending on the selection at settings, the setup control (Line alert) is activated 5 minutes or 30 seconds after self-leveling was performed. If Line Alert condition comes Off, the beam (+LEDs) flashes two times, pauses for 2 seconds and flashes again two times. After deleting the Line Alert by pressing the E button, check the beam’s correct position using the target at the last pipe which was led before the Line alert came off.
