• Use of this product by people other than those trained on this product may result in exposure to hazardous

laser light.

• Do not remove warning labels from the unit.

• The GL422 is Class 3A/3R (< 5mW, 600 ... 680 nm). The GL412 laser is subject to Class 2

(< 3.4 mW, 600 ... 680 nm).

• Never look into the laser beam or direct it to the eyes of other people.

• Always operate the unit in a way that prevents the beam from getting into people‘s eyes.

If initial service is required, which results in the removal of the outer protective cover, removal must only be

performed by factory-trained personnel.

Caution: Use of other than the described user and calibration tools or other procedures may result

in exposure to hazardous laser light.

Caution: Unsafe operation may result if the product is used differently than described in this

operator‘s manual.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing one of the Spectra Precision Lasers from the Trimble family of precision grade

lasers.

The grade laser is an easy-to-use tool that offers accurate horizontal, vertical and sloped laser reference up

to 1300 ft (400 m) away using a receiver.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

For hazardless and safe operation, read all the user guide instructions.

Laser Setup Position the laser horizontally (tripod mount and rubber feet downward!) on a stable platform, wall mount or tripod at the desired elevation. The laser recognizes automatically whether it is used horizontally or vertically when switched on. Turning On/Off the Laser Press the power button to turn on the laser. GL422 – Display GL412 – Display The LEDs (2, 4 and 5) are turned on for 2 seconds. At the LCD, the last used grade values, the mask mode status and the antenna symbol will be displayed.

Turning On/Off the Radio Remote Control The radio remote control is a hand-held device that allows you to send operational commands to the laser from a remote location. A “T” appears in the right corner of the laser’s and remote’s first display line indicating a connection between the laser and the remote control has been made. A flashing “T” indicates that the connection has been interrupted, e.g. the operating range has been exceeded.

the laser‘s keypad or the remote control. Additionally, the X(y)-axis can be sloped by pressing the Left- and Right-Arrow-buttons on the laser or remote control. In vertical mode, the up and down arrow buttons align the laser beam to the right/left side, and the left and right arrow buttons adjust the slope of the laser beam. To resume automatic self-leveling mode, press the manual button again. Mask Mode Mask Mode – permits turning off the laser beam (electronic shutters) in up to 3 lighthouse windows.

Note: The grade value for both axes increases in 1.00% increments. When the grade value for either axis reaches its highest amount, the grade value switches to the lowest value for that axis. For example, the value switches from +15% to -10%. The laser will self-level to the required grade position, 2 seconds after releasing the grade change arrow button or after pressing an arrow button of the unused axis; a single beep confirms the unit left the grade entry mode.
PAGE 7
Establishing Vertical Alignment 1. Set up the laser on its side over the first reference point. 2. Position the receiver at the second reference point. 3. To adjust the laser beam for line direction, use the up and down buttons on the laser or radio remote control until the laser beam matches the line point. Note: To adjust the vertical laser beam different to the plumb position, press and release the manual button and then use the left and right buttons on the laser or the radio remote control.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Dirt and water on the glass parts of laser or prism will influence beam quality and operating range considerably. Clean with cotton swabs. Remove dirt on the housing with a lint-free, warm, wet and smooth cloth. Do not use harsh cleansers or solvents. Allow the unit to air dry after cleaning it. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The unit, accessories and packaging ought to be recycled. This manual is made of non-chlorine recycling paper.
