Interference with the REC RRD2 Handheld Receiver by other Devices
Although the product meets the strict requirements of the relevant directives and standards, SOLA cannot entirely exclude the possibility that intense electromagnetic radiation in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters, two-way radios, diesel generators, etc., may distort the measurement results.
When performing measurements under these conditions, check the plausibility of the results.

Getting Started

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the rear of the device.
2. Insert batteries with the correct polarity.
3. Close the battery compartment cover (audible click of the cover).
   Only use 1.5V (AA) batteries! Remove the batteries if the device is not used for an extended period (see Chapter 8/Maintenance, Storage, and Transportation).

Operation

REC RRD2

Switching On and Off

• ON: Press the “ON/OFF” key

• OFF: Press and hold the “ON/OFF” key for 3 seconds (the receiver switches off automatically after 30 minutes if it is not in active use).

• • Turn the operating surface of the receiver towards the laser device and ensure that the receiver window is perpendicular to the line level.
  • Move the receiver up and down until a signal sounds, direction arrows appear on the display and the remaining distance that the receiver has to be moved to ensure that the laser beam hits the center reference of the receiver is displayed.

• If the marking point of the receiver is above the laser beam, a slowly pulsed beep sounds, a downward-pointing arrow symbol appears on the display and the negative remaining distance that the receiver has to be moved to ensure that the laser beam hits the center reference of the receiver is shown.
  Move the receiver downwards in the direction of the arrow on the display.

• If the marking point of the receiver is below the laser beam, a fast pulsed beep sounds, an arrow symbol pointing upwards appears on the display and the positive remaining distance that the receiver has to be moved to ensure that the laser beam hits the center reference of the receiver is shown.
  Move the receiver upwards in the direction of the arrow on the display.

• When you hear a continuous beep and/or when only the middle beam is visible, the marking point is exactly on the laser beam.

  • Use a pencil to mark the height of the laser beam at the marking points.
  • The receiver can be aligned vertically using the vial; the marking points on the left and right sides are at the same height.

Accuracy/Sensitivity
The REC RRD2 receiver has four sensitivity classes. The “Superfine” class (1 mark) with a sensitivity of ± 1.0 mm, the “Fine” class (3 marks) with a sensitivity of ± 2.0 mm, the “Medium” class (5 marks) with a sensitivity of ± 5.0 mm and the “Rough” class (7 marks) with a sensitivity of ± 10 mm.

• Switch on receiver REC RRD2.
• Press the “Sensitivity switching” key to alternate between the sensitivity classes.

Beep
The beep can be set on the REC RRD2 receiver.
There are three possible variants.
