carefully and keep them in a convenient location for future reference.

GENERAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the system is
functioning properly. Remove the batteries from the instrument when
you will not be using it for long period. When washing the instrument,
avoid spraying it with a high pressure stream of water from a water
hose. The inside of the instrument will be damaged by the water. This
instrument is designed based on the International Standard IPX 6, but it
is not protected from a high pressure water stream or submergence.

Affection of the radio waves

When using the instrument in the following place, the strong radio wave
may cause faulty operation.

• Near the instrument occurring strong radio waves. (e.g. Transceiver)

• Near the radio wave towers such as television or radio.

DISPLAY FOR SAFE USE

In order to encourage the safe use of products and prevent any danger to
the operator and others or damage to properties, important warnings are
put on the products and inserted in the instruction manuals.
We suggest that everyone understand the meaning of the following displays
and icons before reading the “Safety Cautions” and text.

Please refer to the instruction manual for the machine or
contact the machine manufacturer for instructions on install-

45 to 51mm

ing the mast onto the machine (by welding, etc.).

Operation

1 Position a rotating laser and turn on the laser.
2 Raise or lower the machine blade or arm to position the cutting

edge or bucket at the desired grade elevation.

3 Mount the LS-B110/LS-B110W onto the mast near the path of the

laser beam and turn on the LS-B110/LS-B110W.

4 Keep the machine blade or arm motionless and raise or lower the

LS-B110/LS-B110W and adjust until ON-GRADE position are flash­ing. This is the ON GRADE position.

5 Securely clamp the LS-B110/LS-B110W in place. The reference

position has been set.

6 While operating, use the LED display to continually check grade,

moving the blade or cutting / filling according to the direction of the
LS-B110/LS-B110W display.

Indicator

Precision mode

Mode1

Mode2

Mode3

Mode4

It is possible to change the detective precision of the
instrument.
Please select Mode 1 to 4 according to the objective of the
operation.
Pressing the detective precision (Mode) switch will change
the mode and the corresponding LED lamp will light up.
(During battery remaining display shown below, the lamp
will flash.)

Connector for external communication

The LS-B110/LS-B110W can be used as the laser detecting sensor for any TOP­CON machine control system by connecting the communication cable to the con­nector for external communication. (Please contact your sales agent for details.)

Connecting the connector cable PC-18 (sold separately) to the connector for
external communication will enable the use of the LS-B110/LS-B110W from an
external power supply. When the instrument is operated with the external power
supply, the power-save and the auto-cut off functions will be invalidated. The LS­B110/LS-B110W will turn on when connection is made to external power supply.
The power switch of the instrument will not function when an external power sup­ply is used. Wireless communication will not function when using external com­munication or an external power supply.

Tilt detection function

Switching the tilt direction

The tilt direction can be changed.

1 Long-push the detective precision switch and the tilt switch at the

same time. The tilt direction mode setting changes in the following
order: "Back and Forth," "OFF" and "Right and Left." At this time, the
LED at the side of the mark indicating the tilt direction will flash. The
LED will not flash when the tilt detection function is switched OFF.

Tilt direction mark : Right and LeftTilt direction mark : Back and Forth

Switching the tilt precision

1 Short-push the tilt switch. The tilt precision will change. At this time,

the LED at the side of the mark indicating the tilt precision will light up.

Tilt precision mark : High precision

Zero position setting for the tilt sensor

Before using the tilt detection function, set the zero position of the tilt sensor
according to the directions below. The tilt direction must be set before set­ting the zero position.

Tilt precision mark : Normal precision

1 Raise or lower the machine blade or arm where the LS-B110/LS-

B110W is installed to position the cutting edge or bucket at the
desired slope.

2 Long-push the tilt switch. The tilt angle for the LS-B110/LS-B110W

will set to 0º.

Normal precision : More than ±2.5°

Tilt indication will be displayed during laser detection and for 20
seconds after switch operation.

Changing the ON-GRADE position function

The ON-GRADE position can be changed to the position where laser beam
is detected. Using this function when installing the LS-B110/LS-B110W on
the pole of the machine allows easy setting of the height at which the ON­GRADE will be displayed on the LS-B110/LS-B110W. The range in which
the ON-GRADE position can be changed is ±75mm (total of 150mm) from
the center of the detective range.

1 Long-push the zero-set switch while detecting the laser beam.

When changing the ON-GRADE position, the LED
lights up for three seconds, as shown in the figure. The
position where the laser beam is being detected will be
the ON-GRADE position.

The LED lights up as shown in the figure for three sec­onds when the zero position is set.

The LED flashes as shown in the figure for three sec­onds when you have failed to set the zero position.

To set the vertical zero position of tilt sensor to perpendicular.

1 Vertically position the machine blade or arm where the LS-B110/

LS-B110 is installed.

2 Rotate the LS-B110/LS-B110W on the pole each by 90º, and

confirm that the green LED in the tilt indicator is flashing in all
directions.

3 Set the zero position.

How to set up the wireless communication default setting (Only
LS-B110W)

This instrument is able to perform wireless communication with the
RD-100W, sold separately.
See the RD-100W instruction manual for details on the RD-100W.

Place the LS-B110W and RD-100W in close position, so that they will not be
affected by other wireless communications.

1 Turn on the power for both the LS-B110W and RD-100W.
2 Long-push the wireless communication switch for the LS-B110W

and RD-100W. While setting up, the wireless communication
LED (yellow light) will turn on.

3 When the instrument is ready to be used, the communication will

begin.

• If the communication fails, the wireless communication LED
will flash slowly. Eliminate any influence from other wireless
instrument and redo the communication default setting.

• While setting up the default, only the default OFF (short-push
of the wireless communication switch) is operable.

How to use wireless communication (Only LS-B110W)

When power for both the LS-B110W and RD-100W are turned ON, commu­nication will automatically begin.
During communication, the wireless communication LED will flash quickly.
During communication preparation, the wireless communication LED will
flash slowly.

• When the detective precision, tilt direction, tilt precision or
ON-GRADE position settings are changed, the setting for the
RD-100W will also change in conjunction with the LS-B110W.

• If you wish to change the RD-100W to communicate, redo the
communication default setting.
