Using Channel Link

Channel link can be used to eliminate interruptions from other lasers on a busy jobsite, by distinguishing  and detecting the preferred laser. Be sure that only one laser is striking the receiver sensor at a time. A receiver in “CH–” will detect lasers in any channel. While the receiver is in CH 1,2,3 it will only detect lasers in matching channels. Select a unique channel to distinguish the laser from others on the jobsite or select “CH–” to detect any red rotary MILWAUKEE laser on the same jobsite.

• Press menu button until channel link menu appears on receiver. Use the arrows buttons to toggle be- tween channel — / 1 / 2 / 3.
• Press “OK” to confirm selection and exit the menu.
  NOTE : Changing the channel on a receiver will not update the channel of paired lasers. To align laser and receiver, select the same channel on the laser as on the receiver.
  NOTE : Channel link is only compatible with certain RPM’s and functions. Some settings may automatically change when this function is used.

Adjusting the Volume

The volume is set to high as the factory default. Once setting is changed, when the receiver is turned off and back on again, the receiver will recall the last saved setting.

• Press the menu button until the volume screen appears.
• Use the left or right arrow buttons to toggle between high (>95 dBA), low (72 – 90 dBA), and off. When toggling, a sample tone will play to demonstrate the currently selected setting. Press “OK” to confirm selection. The icon on the status bar will update to show the current selection.

Setting the Units of Measure

• Press the menu button until the units screen ap- pears.
• Choose from the measurement options by using the left or right arrow buttons; millimeters, inches (decimal), inches (fractions), and tenths of feet (decimal) using the arrow buttons.
• Press the “OK” button, and the measurement setting will update in the direct read out.

Setting the Accuracy

• Press the menu button until the accuracy screen appears.
• Choose from the accuracy settings below of: ultra fine, fine, medium, coarse and ultra coarse.
• Press the “OK” button to confirm selection, and the accuracy setting will update in the direct read out

Receiver Accuracy

mm| (Dec.)| (Frac.)| ft.| Accuracy Levels (1= Ultra-Fine 5= Ultra- Coarse)| Levels
0.5| 0.02| 1/32| 0.001| Level 1
1| 0.04| 1/16| 0.003|  Level 2
2| 0.08| 1/8| 0.006| Level 3
3| 0.12| 1/4| 0.010| Level 4
5| 0.2| 1/2| 0.016| Level 5

Center Lock

Center lock feature is only compatible with certain RPM’s and accuracy settings and is not compatible with channel link. Some settings may automatically change when this function is being used.

1. Place the paired receiver in the desired location.
   NOTE : The receiver must be aligned with the X or Y axis of the rotary laser. For best results, use the iron sight on top of the laser to align directly with the receiver sensor.

2. Press the grade match button on the receiver. Select the center lock (crosshair with lock icon) using the left or right arrow buttons and press the “OK” button to continue.

3. Use the arrow keys to select the desired axis.
   NOTE : Ensure the laser is aligned and in range of the receiver being used.

4. The laser will begin to search for the receiver.

5. Once the center is found the laser beam will move with the receiver. Up or down indicators and number readout will appear while the laser adjusts in real-time.

NOTE: Ensure to not move the receiver too fast or out of range, this may create an error, and the process will have to be repeated. If not found, the red LED will show on the receiver and “not found” error will appear on the laser/remote. Press the “OK” button, and the laser and remote will go to the main menu, and the laser will start the self-leveling procedure. After the laser is leveled, press the grade match button on the receiver and try steps 1 – 4 again until the center is found.

Grade Match

Grade match is for checking the rise or fall of the ground between two elevations without complex calculations needed. Grade match feature is only compatible with certain RPM’s and accuracy settings and is not compatible with channel link. Some set- tings may automatically change when this function is being used.

1. Place the paired receiver in the desired location.
   NOTE : The receiver must be aligned with the X or Y axis of the rotary laser. For best results, use the iron sight on top of the laser to align directly with the receiver sensor.

2. Press the grade match button on the receiver, and press the “OK” button to continue.

3. Use the arrow keys to select the desired axis.
   NOTE : Ensure the laser is aligned and in range of the receiver being used.

4. Press the “OK” button to confirm the selection and begin the grade match function. The laser will begin to search for the receiver. Once the laser is detected on the center of the receiver, the direct readout and arrow segments and green indicator LED will flash green to indicate success. The measured grade will be displayed on the laser and remote. If failed, the red indicator LED will flash. Repeat steps above to try again.

Direct Readout and Arrow Indicators

If a laser is sensed, the direct readout, arrow indicators, and indicator LEDs will illuminate to guide the user in moving the receiver to align the laser with the center. If no laser is detected, the LEDs, and arrow indicator will remain off, and the direct readout will show no value and display “- – -“.

• High LED indicator (blue) – Move the receiver location up until on center.
• On center LED indicator (green) – The line being detected from the laser is on center.
• Low LED indicator (red) – Move the receiver location down until on center.
  NOTE : If the laser leaves the sensor, the up or down arrow segments will begin to cycle, indicating the direction that the laser was last detected.

Other Receiver Modes

• Sleep Icon – Indicates that the laser is asleep and must be woken up before grade match or center lock can be initiated.
• CAL Icon – Will appear on the receiver when laser is using it for calibration.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure batteries are inserted correctly according to the +/- polarity marked in the compartment.
• Replace batteries that may be at the end of life.
• Ensure the tool’s internal temperature is within specified operating ranges. If stored in excessive heat or cold, allow at least 2 hours to acclimate to ambient temperature before turning on the tool.
• If the receiver screen pauses for a long period of time, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds or remove the batteries to reset.
• If attempting grade match and both center lock and grade match icons flash at the same time, this is an indication that the function cannot be completed. Check pairing status and review laser for any warnings that must be cleared before proceeding.

Pairing Failure:

• Ensure the receiver is powered on, within the distance range and in pairing mode.
• Avoid artificial overhead lighting on the receiver sensor.
• Avoid the laser projecting a beam onto the receiver sensor during pairing.
• Avoid transmitting devices.
• Place the laser on a stable surface during pairing to prevent interruption from bump alarms. For best results, pair in the horizontal orientation.
• The no connection error may appear on laser if your devices are not paired. Try repeating the pairing steps in the “Pairing the Receiver with the Rotary Laser” section.
  If problem persists, please contact an authorized MILWAUKEE service center for support.

ACCURACY FIELD CHECK

 Perform the accuracy field check procedure immediately upon unboxing of each receiver and before exposure to jobsite conditions. See “Accuracy Field Check” for information. Should any deviation from listed product accuracy be found, please contact an authorized MILWAUKEE service center. Failure to do so could result in rejection of warranty claim.

Influences on Accuracy

Sunlight or other extreme lighting conditions can adversely impact accuracy. For best results, use indoors or avoid direct sunlight. Abusive treat- ment of the laser level receiver, such as excessive impacts from drops, can lead to deviations in product accuracy. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct the Field Check procedure after any impact or before completing any critical jobs. For best results, use MILWAUKEE Lasers.

Receiver Accuracy Check Procedure

1. Set up a compatible laser 30′ using a flat wall.
2. Ensure the laser source is self-leveled and perpendicular to the wall.
3. Place the receiver flat on a wall directly in front of the laser source and slightly below the projected laser line.
4. Keeping the bottom of the receiver parallel with the ground, raise the receivier past the center mark until the down arrow appears on the LCD screen.
5. Lower the receiver until the center line appears.
6. Mark a line on the wall – Point “I”.
7. Continue to lower the receiver until the up arrow appears.
8. Raise the receiver until the center line appears.
9. Mark a line on the wall – Point “II”.
10. Measure the distance between Point “I” and Point “II” – divide by 2. After completion, compare this to the receiver accuracy table in the “Setting Accuracy” section.
