2.4 Setup Location • Keep the location clear of possible obstructions that could block or reflect the laser beam. • Place the Rugby on a stable ground. Ground vibration and extremely windy conditions can affect the operation of the Rugby. • When working in a very dusty environment place the Rugby up-wind so the dirt is blown away from the laser. Setting up on a Tripod - Level 005839_001 Step Description 1. Set up the tripod. 2. Place the Rugby on the tripod. 3.

LCD display Displays user information. Power button Press to turn the Rugby on or off. Laser emission LED The LED flashes when the laser beam is flashing.
Main user screen The Main user screens show the grade input. The screens are different for the Rugby 670 (single grade) and Rugby 680 (dual grade). 006040_001 Rugby 670 006039_001 Rugby 680 Level mode screen The grade shown must be 0.00% to use the Rugby 670/680 in Level mode, for example for forms and footings. In Level mode, the Rugby 670/680 automatically levels to the horizontal plane.
Grade mode screen Enter your desired grade in Grade mode. The Rugby 670/680 will check the level position and then adjust the plane of laser light to the grade input. 006057_001 In Grade mode, the Rugby 670/680 does not self-level, but is set to detect bumps and temperature changes. Rugby 670 A small icon in the bottom left corner of the screen indicates that the axis with grade is not self-levelling. 006056_001 Rugby 680 3.
Grade setting process 006044_001 Levelling to grade screen After grade entry for one or both axes, the Rugby waits for 8 seconds of no movement or button presses before beginning the process. The Rugby then displays the Levelling to grade screen and automatically self-levels in the horizontal plane, followed by readjusting the servo mechanism to the desired grade value. After completion, the Rugby activates the Slope/Bump Alert and Temperature Alert functions (if enabled). 3.
Bump Alert 006046_001 Bump Alert screen The Bump Alert function prevents incorrect work caused by movement or settling of the tripod that occurs when the Rugby is used for grade. The Bump Alert function becomes active and monitors the movement of the Rugby when it has completely levelled and the head starts rotating. If the Rugby gets disturbed, the Bump Alert screen is displayed and the Rugby beeps rapidly.
3.5 Rugby 670/680 Option Menu Option Menu Press both the Up arrow button and Power button for 1.5 seconds to enter the Option Menu. 006050_001 Option Menu Selecting an option There are five options available: • Smart Slope: FINE/COARSE/OFF • Bump Alert: FINE/COARSE/OFF • H.I.

6 Batteries Description The Rugby 670 and Rugby 680 can be purchased with alkaline batteries or a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. The following information is appropriate only to the model you have purchased. 6.1 Operating Principles Charging / first-time use • The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible. • The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/ +32°F to +104°F.
Step Description 4. The small LED next to the charge jack flashes indicating that the Rugby is charging. The LED is on solid when the battery pack is fully charged. 5. When the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect the charger plug from the charge jack. 6. Slide the locking mechanism to the centre position to prevent dirt from getting into the charging jack. Changing the Li-Ion batteries step-by-step The battery pack reaches a full charge in approximately 5 hours if completely empty.
With alkaline batteries the battery indicator on the Rugby LCD display flashes when the batteries are low and need to replaced. If no battery icon is shown, the batteries are okay. + + — — — — + Changing the alkaline batteries step-by-step + 3 2 5% 1 0% 3 005846_001 Step 1. 2. Description The batteries are inserted in the front of the laser. Slide the locking mechanism on the battery compartment to the right and open the cover of the battery compartment.
7 Accuracy Adjustment About • It is the responsibility of the user to follow operating instructions and to periodically check the accuracy of the laser and work as it progresses. • The Rugby is adjusted to the defined accuracy specification at the factory. It is recommended to check the laser for accuracy upon receipt and periodically thereafter to ensure accuracy is maintained.
Step Description 6. Align the second axis of the Rugby by rotating it 90° so that this axis is square to the wall. Allow the Rugby to self-level completely. 7. Mark the position of the beam. 8. Rotate the laser 180° and allow it to self-level. 9. Mark the opposite side of the second axis. The Rugby is within its accuracy specification if the four marks are within ± 1.5 mm (± 1/16") from the centre. 7.
Calibrating the X-axis step-by-step Upon entering Calibration mode, the X-axis calibration screen appears: 006059_001 Step Description 1. When the hour glass has disappeared, indicating that the Rugby has levelled, check both sides of the X-axis. 2. Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to bring the plane of laser light to the specified level position. Each step represents approximately 2 arc seconds of change. Therefore, 5 steps equal approximately 1.5 mm at 30 m (1/16" at 100’). 3.
8 Alerts Troubleshooting Alert 006045_001 006046_001 Symptom Possible causes and solutions Low Battery indication on the display. The batteries are low. Replace the alkaline batteries or recharge the Li-Ion battery pack. Refer to "6 Batteries". Elevation (H.I.) Alert The Elevation (H.I.) Alert screen is shown and the audio beeps. (Level position) The Rugby has been bumped or tripod was moved. Turn off Rugby to stop alert, check the height of the laser before beginning to work again.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause(s) Suggested Solutions The Rugby is working, but not self-levelling. The Rugby is in Grade Mode. The Rugby will self-level only when 0.00% is shown in the display. In Grade mode, the Rugby selflevels at 0.00%, then adjusts to the grade input. Rugby does not turn on. The batteries are low or dead. Check the batteries and change or charge the batteries if necessary. If the problem continues, return the Rugby to an authorised service centre for service.
9 Care and Transport 9.1 Transport Transport in the field When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you • either carry the product in its original transport container, • or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the attached product upright.
