To attach the rod clamp (fig. A) to the
detector, align projections on the rod clamp
with corresponding recess on the back of the
detector, and tighten the knob 19. To detach rod
clamp from the detector, unscrew the knob 19
completely.
To attach the rod clamp to leveling rod 18
–
loosen the knob 17 on the rod clamp, slide the
rod clamp on the leveling rod 18 to the desired
location, and tighten the knob 17. Spirit level 20
can be used to approximately level the leveling
rod. Adjust position of leveling rod until bubble
in spirit level 20 is within the circle.

Turn on the instrument by pressing the ON/
OFF button on the keypad. The LCD symbols
will momentarily be lit and the unit will beep
once. The Coarse bandwidth indicator and soft
volume indicator will remain lit.
–
Expose the beam capture window of the
laser detector towards the direction of the laser.
–
Slowly move the laser detector in an upward
and downward direction until the LCD beam
indicator arrows appear and/or a pulsing audio
signal is heard. Use the Bandwidth Resolution
Selection feature to choose between the Fine/
Coarse setting. Coarse resolution setting is
for approximating level or for initial locating of
the center level point. Fine resolution setting is
used for most accurate pin pointing of level.
Initial Operation
Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme
temperatures or variations in temperature.
As an example, do not leave it in vehicles
for long time. In case of large variations in
temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust
to the ambient temperature before putting it
into operation. In case of extreme temperatures
or variations in temperature, the accuracy of
the measuring tool can be impaired. Position
the laser detector at least 2-ft away from the
rotational laser level. Position the laser detector
in such a manner that the laser beam can reach
the reception area 3.
If the rotational laser has several rotational
speeds, set to the highest speed possible.

on or operating the measuring tool.
"At a distance of 0.2 m, the A-weighted
sound pressure level of the audio signal
can be up to 95 dB(A)." Do not hold the
measuring tool close to your ear!

RD5 Operation
audio signal can cause hearing damage.
To switch on the measuring tool, press the On/
Off button 10. An audio signal sounds and all
display indicators light up briefly.
To switch off the measuring tool, press the On/
Off button 10 again. This is confirmed by a
double beep.
When no laser beam reaches the reception
area for approx. 6 minutes, the measuring tool
automatically switches off to save the batteries.
The switching off is indicated by an audio
signal. When not using the measuring tool,
switch it off in order to extend the battery life.
Selecting the Setting of the Center
Indicator
Spirit Level contains
With button 1, you can specify the accuracy
with which the position of the laser beam is
indicated as centerd on the reception area:
– "Fine" adjustment, (indication a on the display)
– "Medium" adjustment, (indication b on the
display)
– "Coarse" adjustment, (indication c on the
display).
When changing the accuracy setting, a single,
two or three beeps sound, depending on the
selected setting. The accuracy setting is stored
when switching off the measuring tool.
Direction Indicators
The position of the laser beam on the reception
area 3 is indicated:
– via the direction indicators "move downward"
d, "move upward" for the center indicator e on
the display 4 on the front and back side of the
measuring tool,
– via the LEDs "move downward" 6, "move
upward" 9 or the center-indication LED 7 on the
front side of the measuring tool,
– optionally via the audio signal (see "Audio
Signal for Indication of the Laser Beam", page
9).
