RD10 Remote Display
User Guide
www.trimble.com
•
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Spectra Precision® Laser RD10 Remote Display.
It is designed to work with the LR30, LR50, and LR60 laser receivers, and it
can be mounted in the cab of the machine for easy viewing. The LEDs provide
information similar to the LEDs of the receivers. For specific displays and
setting, please refer to the receiver user guide.
In addition to providing the standard grade, plumb, and tilt information
(where applicable), the RD10 can be used to set an offset and a temporary
secondary offset on a receiver. Please note that the tilt indication can be
displayed for LR50 and LR60 receivers.
The RD10 gets it power from the receiver batteries. Optional cables are also
available for supplying power from the machine battery or a machine power
outlet. The RD10’s audio jack allows you to use earphones so that you can
listen to the audio information when working in noisy conditions.
Before using the remote display, be sure to read this user guide carefully.
Included in it is information about setting up, using, and maintaining the
remote display. Also included in this manual are Notes, which indicate
important information unrelated to safety.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome; please contact us at:

4. Repeat for the other side.
Cables
The remote display gets power from the receiver battery via a cable. It can also
get power from the machine battery or a machine power outlet via optional
cables. A receiver cable (straight or coil) is required to connect the RD10 to
the receiver. If additional length is required, extension cables are also available.
Note: The receiver must be turned off prior to connecting the cable to the
receiver.
Plan the cable routing ahead of time for ease of installation. To avoid cable
abrasion, secure all cables with tie wraps or cable clamps. Make sure that excess
cable is available at all moving joints of the machine and near the receiver and
remote display for adjustment.
Receiver Cable
1. Route the receiver cable from the remote display to where the receiver
is mounted.
2. Make sure the receiver power is off.
3. Connect the 7-socket connector to the receiver.
4. Connect the 6-pin connector to the remote display.
Optional Power Cables
Battery
The remote display operates using machine power that ranges from 10 V dc to
30 V dc. Reverse voltage and over-voltage protection are built in.
1. Route the terminal ends of the power cable to the machine
battery.
2. Connect the red wire to the batter y’s positive (+) terminal.
Connect the black wire to the negative (–) terminal.
3. Plug the 3.5 mm barrel connector into the remote display power jack.
Coiled Outlet Adapter
The maximum extended length of the coil cable is 2.4 m (8 ft).
1. Select the 3.5 mm barrel connector. The negative (–) side
aligns with the “TIP” side.
2. Plug the connector into the remote display power jack.
3. Plug the adapter into an appropriate power outlet.
Earphones
The RD10 has an earphone jack for audio output. This jack accepts a
standard 2.5 mm barrel connector. Earphones that have volume control are
recommended. The audio tone beeps quickly when the receiver is above the
laser beam, slowly when below it, and continuously when centered in the laser
beam or on grade.
Operation
Power
Turning on/off the remote display and receiver depends on the manufacture
date and software version of the receiver. The RD10 is released with receiver
software v5.05 installed.
To identify which software version the receiver is using, look for the serial
number on the circuit board (located on back of the receiver toward the top).
The serial numbers for receivers released with v5.05 software (released
September 2006) are as follows: LR30 serial numbers 3+2067; LR50 serial
numbers 5+1996; LR60 serial numbers 61520.
For receivers with v5.05 software, the power button on the remote display
operates the same as the power button on the receiver.
For receivers with earlier software versions, the power button and some
additional functions operate differently. Older software versions lock the
receiver keypad, thus disabling all keypad buttons. Because of this lockout,
make sure you have selected the settings appropriate for your use prior to
connecting the remote display. Refer to the Software Version Operation Table
for more information (panel 12).
Current Software Version: v5.05
Battery Power
The power/set-function button on the remote display turns on/off the receiver

Blade-Tilt Indication
LR50
If the LR50 has v5.05 software installed and the blade-tilt function is active,
the remote display LEDs mimic the receiver blade-tilt indication and provide
5 channels of tilt information. If the LR50 receiver has v4.00 software, the tilt
display is always on with fine tilt accuracy displaying. For more information
about specific blade-tilt settings, refer to the receiver user guide.
LR60
Although the LR60 has no provision for displaying blade-tilt information on
the receiver itself, the blade-tilt function can be activated if the receiver has
v5.05 software. To activate the blade-tilt function, simultaneously press the
power, plumb, and deadband buttons on the receiver. When this function is
active, the receiver’s outside green on-grade LEDs flash, the center green
LED is on, and the RD10’s blade-tilt LEDs are on. To turn off the function,
simultaneously press the same three buttons. When the blade-tilt function is
off, the receiver’s outside green on-grade LEDs flash and the center green LED
is off. Blade-tilt accuracy settings are fine and ±0.5°. If the LR60 receiver has
v4.00 software, the tilt display is always on.
Deadband Indication
The right three LEDs indicate whether
the wide, standard, or fine deadband is
selected (LED flashes). To temporarily
activate the LEDs, press the selectfunction button. If the receiver has a
set-up deadband, the set-up and fine
deadbands are both indicated by the
fine deadband LED.
Low-Battery Display
The left blade-tilt LED flashes when the battery power is low. If this condition
occurs, the blade-tilt display no longer operates. Replace or recharge the
receiver batteries.
Lost-Communication Display
The above-grade and below-grade red LEDs and the on-grade green LED
alternately flash when communication between the receiver and remote display
has been interrupted. Be sure to check all connections.
Lost-Beam Display
A sequence of LEDs indicates which direction to move the blade or implement
to pick up the laser beam if the receiver vertically moves beyond the laser signal
for a short time.
Functions
To select a function, press the select-function button. Repeatedly pressing this
button allows you to cycle through the functions. When the function that you
want to use is selected, the above-grade LED to the left of the function symbol
lights for 4 seconds. During this time, press the power/set-function button.
If the function is not set within this time, the LED goes off and the function
button deactivate.
Set Offset
This function allows a current laser strike location to become the on-grade
location. This function is useful for raising or lowering the initial on-grade

on the model and selected deadband. The acceptance limit on proportional
receivers is about 2.5 cm (1 in.) from the edge of the photocell array so that
both above and below grade information can be displayed. Refer to the
Software Version Operation Table for more information.
Note: The offset function does not operate when the LR60 is in the angle
compensation (ACE) mode.
4. To return to the default on-grade location, press the select-function button
4 times. The fourth LED from the top lights.
5. Press the power/set-function button 1 time to set the function. Make
sure you press the button for less than 2 second to avoid turning off the
remote display.
Note: The amber offset-elevation LED turns off to confirm that you have
returned to the default location.
Set Temporary Offset
This function allows a current laser strike location to become a temporary
on-grade location. This function is useful for temporarily raising or lowering
the offset on-grade location. To activate this function:
1. Position the receiver to the desired temporary offset elevation while
receiving a laser strike.
2. Press the select-function button 2 times. The second LED from the top
lights.
