1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
For the safe use of the product and prevention of injury to operators and other persons as well
as prevention of property damage, items which should be observed are indicated by an
exclamation point within a triangle used with WARNING and CAUTION statements in this
instruction manual.
The definitions of the indications are listed below. Be sure you understand them before reading
the manual’s main text.
Definition of Indication
Ignoring this indication and making an operation error could possibly

result in death or serious injury to the operator.
Ignoring this indication and making an operation error could possibly
result in personal injury or property damage.
This symbol indicates items for which caution (hazard warnings inclusive) is urged.
Specific details are printed in or near the symbol.
This symbol indicates items which are prohibited. Specific details are printed in or
near the symbol.
This symbol indicates items which must always be performed. Specific details are
printed in or near the symbol.

1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
General
Warning
Do not perform disassembly or rebuilding. Fire, electric shock or burns could result.
Do not use the unit in areas exposed to high amounts of dust or ash, in areas where
there is inadequate ventilation, or near combustible materials. An explosion could
occur.
When securing the instrument in the carrying case make sure that all catches,
including the side catches, are closed. Failure to do so could result in the
instrument falling out while being carried, causing injury.
2
Caution
Do not use the carrying case as a footstool. The case is slippery and unstable so a
person could slip and fall off it.
Do not place the instrument in a case with a damaged case or belt. The case or
instrument could be dropped and cause injury.
Power Supply
Warning
Do not short circuit. Heat or ignition could result.
Do not use voltage other than the specified power supply voltage. Fire or electrical
shock could result.
Do not use damaged power cords, plugs or loose outlets. Fire or electric shock
could result.
Do not use power cords other than those designated. Fire could result.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Do not use batteries other than those designated. An explosion could occur, or
abnormal heat generated, leading to fire.
Do not place articles such as clothing on the battery charger while charging
batteries. Sparks could be induced, leading to fire.
Use only the specified battery charger to recharge batteries. Other chargers may
be of different voltage rating or polarity, causing sparking which could lead to fire or
burns.
3
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Do not heat or throw batteries into fire. An explosion could occur, resulting in injury.
Do not use the battery or charger for any other equipment or purpose. Fire or burns
caused by ignition could result.
To prevent shorting of the battery in storage, apply insulating tape or equivalent to
the terminals. Otherwise shorting could occur, resulting in fire or burns.
Do not use batteries or the battery charger if wet. Resultant shorting could lead to
fire or burns.
Do not connect or disconnect power supply plugs with wet hands. Electric shock
could result.
4
Caution
Do not touch liquid leaking from batteries. Harmful chemicals could cause burns or
blisters.
Tripod
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Caution
When mounting the instrument to the tripod, tighten the centering screw securely.
Failure to tighten the screw properly could result in the instrument falling off the
tripod, causing injury.
Tighten securely the leg fixing screws of the tripod on which the instrument is
mounted. Failure to tighten the screws could result in the tripod collapsing, causing
injury.
Do not carry the tripod with the tripod shoes pointed at other persons. A person
could be injured if struck by the tripod shoes.
Keep hands and feet away from the tripod shoes when fixing the tripod in the
ground. A hand or foot stab wound could result.
Tighten the leg fixing screws securely before carrying the tripod. Failure to tighten
the screws could lead to the tripod legs extending, causing injury.
5
2. PRECAUTIONS
Before starting work or operation, be sure to check that the instrument is functioning correctly
with normal performance.
Vibration and Impact Protection
When transporting the instrument, provide protection to minimize risk of severe vibration or
impact. Severe vibration or impacts may affect beam accuracy.
Protection against abrupt change in temperature
Do not leave the instrument under strong sunlight for a long time. It may cause the instrument
to malfunction.

3. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
The RL-SV2S is classified as a class 3R Laser Product according to IEC Standard Publication
60825-1 Ed.2.0: 2007 and United States Government Code of Federal Regulation FDA CDRH
21CFR Part1040.10 and 1040.11 (Complies with FDA performance standards for laser products
except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50, dated June 24, 2007.)
Laser Safety
This product projects a visible laser beam during operation. This product is manufactured and
sold in accordance with “Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products” (FDA/BRH 21
CFR 1040) or “Radiation Safety of Laser Products, Equipment Classification, Requirements and
User’s Guide” (IEC Publication 60825-1) provided on the safety standards for laser beam.
As per the said standard, RL-SV2S standard model is classified as “Class 3R (IIIa) Laser
Products”. These are simple products to operate and do not require training from a laser safety
officer. In case of any failure, do not disassemble the instrument. Contact TOPCON or your
TOPCON dealer.

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not look directly into the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye
damage.
9
3. Laser Safety Information
Do not stare at the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
Never intentionally point the laser beam at another person. The laser beam is
injurious to the eyes and skin.
Caution
Perform checks at start of work and periodic checks and adjustments with the laser
beam emitted under normal conditions.
When the instrument is not being used, turn off the power.
10
When disposing of the instrument, destroy the battery connector so that the laser
beam cannot be emitted.
Operate the instrument with due caution to avoid injuries that may be caused by
the laser beam unintentionally striking a person in the eye. Avoid setting the
instrument at heights at which the path of the laser may strike pedestrians or drivers
at head height.

Power switch
The power switch turns ON or OFF
by pressing.
On-Grade precision switch
Two on-grade precision options are
available, normal precision (±2mm)
and high precision (±1mm). By
pressing this switch, the precision
options are switched alternately.
Confirm the precision choice by the
indicator. (Normal precision is the
default setting each time the sensor
is turned on.)
Buzzer sound switch
Volume of the sensor buzzer can be
alternately switched to
LOW/LOUD/OFF by pressing the switch.
Indicator
Detect the on-grade position "---" by moving
the LS-80L up and down. Directional arrows
and audio signals assist in locating the ongrade positiion as the laser strikes the
beam receiving window. (Top of LS-80L is
40mm (1 9/16") from on-grade index for
offset marking.)
The indicators are located on front and bac
sides of the instrument.
