Viewing the laser beam or a reflection of the beam with optics, such as binoculars or cameras can be hazardous because they The Operators of the laser are effectively the “Safety Persons”, can gather or concentrate the laser right to the eye. and should think of themselves as the person responsible for preventing accidents and unwanted exposure. Turn laser off in the event of potential exposures: i.e., stopped at a crosswalk in the vicinity of pedestrian traffic.

Align to horizontal far point and zero horizontal scale by instrument (2), then to a 12VDC source such as directly to a battery pressing horizontal preset button (22) or to a model 1140 power converter for 110/220VAC operation. The emission indicator (3) and the laser should both be on. 7. Select Horizontal left or right by depressing button (20) if turning and angle to the left or right from your far point. 3. Instrument Power-up by activating the instrument power switch (17) on the side LR1050DD.

The LR1050DD may be used as a theodolite only by using the cross hairs through the scope or be used as a laser reference by using the laser spot to determine the line and/or grade.

Adjust beam to vertical crosshair with an offset of 2.125” (53.98mm) above the horizontal crosshair. This unit was calibrated when it was shipped from LaserLine. We cannot guarantee calibration after the instrument after the instrument leaves the factory. Always check calibration prior to using the instrument.
