Usage Hazards

General

CAUTION

A fall, longer storage, transportation or other mechanical effects can lead to erroneous measurement results. Check the unit for damage before use. Do not use damaged equipment.

• Repairs have to be exclusively performed by SOLA
• Before use, check the accuracy of the device (see Chapter 7/Checking the accuracy)

Batteries/rechargeable batteries

DANGER

Strong mechanical influences can lead to leakage, fire or explosion of batteries and rechargeable batteries or toxic substances may be released.

• Do not open batteries or rechargeable batteries and do not expose to mechanical pressure.

• Repair work may only be carried out by SOLA.
  WARNING
  High ambient temperatures and immersion into liquids can cause a leakage, fire or explosion of the batteries or trigger the release of toxic substances.

• Protect batteries and rechargeable batteries from mechanical influences during transport.

• Do not overheat batteries and rechargeable batteries or expose them to fire.

• Avoid the ingress of moisture into batteries and rechargeable batteries.

• Do not use damaged batteries or rechargeable batteries. Perform a proper disposal.
  WARNING
  A short-circuiting or unintended use can cause batteries to overheat and create an injury or fire hazard.

• Do not transport or store batteries in the pockets of garments.

• Do not bring the battery contacts in contact with jewelery, keys, or other electrically conductive objects.

• Do not charge the batteries.

• Do not discharge the batteries through short-circuiting.

• Do not solder the batteries within the device.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, and do not mix batteries from different manufacturers or with a differing type designation.
  WARNING
  If disposed of improperly third parties can possibly be seriously injured and the environment polluted. The burning of plastic components generates toxic fumes which may impair health of people. Batteries/rechargeable batteries may explode if they are damaged or heated excessively, and thereby cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination. If disposed of negligently unauthorized persons are able to use the product improperly.

• The product may not be disposed of together with household waste. Perform a proper disposal of the device and the accessories (see Chapter 9/Disposal).

• Protect the product at all times from access through unauthorized persons, and especially children.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

The electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of the product to function in an environment with electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges were are present, without causing an electromagnetic interference for other devices.

Malfunction of other devices as a result of the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver

Although the product meets the strict requirements of the relevant directives and standards, SOLA can not completely exclude the possibility of interference with other devices (for example, when using the product in combination with third-party devices, such as field computers, personal computers, wireless devices, mobile phones, certain cables or external batteries).

• When using computers and radio equipment make sure to observe to the vendor-specific information about electromagnetic compatibility.
• Only use original SOLA equipment and accessories.

Malfunction of the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver as a result of other devices

Although the product meets the strict requirements of the relevant directives and standards, SOLA can not entirely exclude the possibility that an intense electromagnetic radiation in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters, two-way radios, diesel generators, etc. can distort the measurement results.

• When performing measurements under these conditions check the plausibility of the results.

Start-up

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the rear side of the device.
2. Insert batteries with the correct polarity into the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver.
3. Close the battery compartment (audible click of the cover). Only use 9V 6F22 (E-Block) batteries! If the device is not used for a long period, remove the batteries.

Operation

Turning the device on/off

On:

• Press «ON/OFF» button.

Off:

• Hold the «ON/OFF» button down for 3 seconds (the hand-held receiver will turn itself off automatically after 7 minutes if it is not actively being used).
• Turn the front face of the receiver towards the laser device and ensure that the receiver window is vertical to the line plane.
• Move the receiver up and down until a signal sounds and/or until direction arrows become visible on the display.

If the marking point on the receiver is above the laser beam, a fast, pulsing signal sound is audible and an arrow pointing downwards appears on the display.

• Move the receiver downwards in the direction of the arrow shown on the display.

If the marking point on the receiver is below the laser beam, a slow, pulsing signal sound is audible and an arrow pointing upwards appears on the display.

• Move the receiver upwards in the direction of the arrow shown on the display.

If an unbroken signal sound is audible and/or if only the central bar is still visible, the marking point is exactly on the laser beam.

• Mark the height of the laser beam on the marking points using a pen. The spirit level vial can be used to align the receiver vertically in order to ensure that the marking points on the left and right sides are at the same height.

Accuracy

The REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver has two levels of accuracy. The „Fine“ (Symbol -> -) level with an accuracy of 0.5 mm and the „Rough“ (Symbol -> =) level with an accuracy of 2.0 mm.

• Turn the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver on.
• Press the «ACC» button to switch between the two levels of accuracy.

Signal sound

The signal sound on the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver can be adjusted. There are three levels. Only loudspeaker: moderately loud; loudspeaker with three bars: very loud; no loudspeaker: silent.

• Turn the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver on.
• Press the «VOL» button to switch between the variants.

Display light

The REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver has a background light for the front and rear display.

Testing the accuracy of the device

Test the accuracy of the REC LRD0 / LGD0 hand-held receiver before carrying out every measurement.

Before starting the test, allow the device to acclimatize to the environmental conditions.

1. Place line laser on a stable surface, e.g. tripod, adjust this and turn it on (pulse mode).

2. Turn the front face of the receiver towards the laser device and ensure that the receiver window is vertical to the line plane.

   • Move the receiver up and down until a signal sounds and/or until direction arrows become visible on the display.
   • Align the receiver to the marking point (if an unbroken signal sound is audible and/or if only the central bar is still visible, the marking point is exactly on the laser beam).
   • Mark height 1 of the laser beam using a pen at the marking points.
     

3. Turn the receiver 180° and ensure that the receiver window is vertical to the line plane.
   

4. Move the receiver up and down until a signal sounds and/or until direction arrows become visible on the display.

5. Align the receiver to the marking point (if an unbroken signal sound is audible and/or if only the central bar is still visible, the marking point is exactly on the laser beam).

6. Mark height  2 of the laser beam using a pen at the marking points. The vertical distance ‚d‘ between marking points  1 and 2 may be a max. of 0.5 mm in the „Fine“ level of accuracy or 2.0 mm in the „Rough“ level of accuracy.
   

If the result is more than 0.5 mm or 2.0 mm, the device must be readjusted. Please contact your dealer.
