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

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.

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.

When the instrument system detects a shock, this
function informs the operator of it.
•When the instrument’s installation status (height)
is sharply changed by the contact of the operator
or the like, this function stops auto leveling to
keep the operation accuracy and informs the
operator of the situation. The three lamps blink at
the same time as shown at the right.
•After 1 minute has passed since the auto leveling
function was activated and the laser beam was emitted, this function works.

7. APPLIED OPERATION AND SETTING OF VARIOUS FUNCTIONS
It is possible to set grades for the laser beam and various functions from the menu screen.
7.1 Setting Grades
There are two methods to set grades on the laser beam: 1) direct entry of the grade values for
the X and Y axes, and 2) matching to set grades on laser beam according to the slope of the
ground on site.
How to enter grade values
Grade can be set in both axes, X and Y, as shown below.
Grades can be set in the range indicated below.

Grade range:
X: –15% to +15%

both axes.
2Locate and mark the position of the RL-SV2S beam on both walls using the LS-80L.
3Turn off the RL-SV2S and move the RL-SV2S closer to wall A (1 m to 2 m /3 ft to 6 ft).
Do not change the axis orientation of the RL-SV2S. Turn the RL-SV2S on.
4Again locate and mark the position of the RL-SV2S beam on both walls using the LS-80L.
5Measure the distance between the first and second marks on each wall.

2Turn on power for the RL-SV2S and verify the staff height of Nail 1 and Nail 2 at grade
setting of 0% with LS-80L and record.
At this time the staff height for Nail 1 and Nail 2 should recorded as h1 and h2 (mm). Check
the LS-80L is set at high precision.
3Set Y axis grade to 1.00%.
Align read the elevation of the laser beam in millimeters at Nail 1 and Nail 2.
Designate these elevations as “h3” at Nail 1, and “h4” at Nail 2.
4Using the elevation readings for h1, h2, h3 and h4, complete the equation below.
If the calculated result is the range of 0.990% - 1.010%, the instrument is normal.
If the calculated result for either axis is out of the range, contact your dealer or Topcon.
Repeat the procedure aligning the “X” axis on the line created by Nail 1 and Nail 2.
