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.

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.

RC803 Radio/IR Remote Control Powering the RC803
1. Open the battery door using a coin or similar pry device to release the battery door tab on the RC803.
RC803 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/IR Remote Control
The Radio/IR 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/IR remote control.
If the RC803 is outside the radio operating range the remote switches automatically into the IR connection capability. 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 grade value and line direction indications 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 hold the power button for two seconds. Note: 5 minutes after the last button press, the remote control turns off automatically.
Pairing the RC803 with the DG813/DG613 - First, make sure the transmitter and the remote control
are turned off. Then press and hold the Escape/Lock (ESC) button and turn on the transmitter. During the next 6 seconds (the red LED flashes fast while the display shows Pairing) repeat the same steps on the remote control. The remote’s display show Pairing OK for one second and then the same function as the laser is actually working to
indicate the transmitter has been matched with the remote control.
