HOW TO USE THE LASER SYSTEM
POWERING THE LASER
Batteries
WARNING
Ni-MH batteries may contain small amounts of harmful substances. Be sure to charge the battery
before using it for the first time, and after not using it for an extended length of time. Charge only with
specified chargers according to device manufacturer‘s instructions. Do not open the battery, dispose
of in fire or short circuit; it may ignite, explode, leak or get hot causing personal injury. Dispose in
accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Keep the battery away from
children. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately
Recharging the Batteries
The laser is shipped with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack.
Note: The approximate charge of the batteries is shown at the left top side of the LCD.
The charger requires approx. 10 hours to charge empty rechargeable batteries.
For charging, connect the plug of the charger to the recharge jack of the battery pack.
New or long-time out-of-use rechargeable batteries reach their best performance after
being charged and recharged five times. For Indoor applications the charger can be
used as a power supply for the UL.
Alkaline batteries can be used as a backup. Insert 4 D-cell batteries noting the plus
(+) and minus (-) diagrams inside the battery housing.
The batteries should only be charged when the laser is between 50° F and 104° F (10°C to
40°C). Charging at a higher temperature may damage the batteries. Charging at a lower
temperature may increase the charge time and decrease the charge capacity, resulting in
loss of performance and shortened life expectancy.
RC603 Radio/IR Remote Control
Powering the RC603
1. Open the battery door using a coin or similar pry device to release the
battery door tab on the RC603. RC603 will be shipped with alkaline

CALIBRATION
Checking Calibration of the Y- and X-Axes
1. Set up the laser 30 m (100 ft) from a wall and allow it to level.
2. Set the grade to 0.000% in both axes.
3. Raise/lower the receiver until you get an on-grade reading for the +Y axis. Using
the on-grade marking notch as a reference, make a mark on the wall.
Note: For increased precision, use the fine-sensitivity setting (1.5 mm/ 1/16 in.) on
the receiver.
4. Rotate the laser 180° (-Y axis toward the wall) and allow the laser to re-level.
5. Raise/lower the receiver until you get an on-grade reading for the –Y/axis. Using the
on-grade marking notch as a reference, make a mark on the wall.
6. Measure the difference between the two marks. If they differ more than 3 mm at 30
m (1/8 inch at 100 feet), the laser needs calibrating.
7. After checking the Y-axis, rotate the laser 90°. Repeat the above starting with the
+ X axis facing the wall.
Checking Calibration of the Z-(vertical) Axis
To check vertical calibration, you need a plumb bob with at least 10m (30ft) of string.
1. Suspend the plumb bob in front of a house i.e., attached to a window frame whose window height is at least
10m (30ft).
2. Set up the laser in vertical so that the laser beam strikes the receiver’s on-grade position at the top of the string.
3. Look for any deviation using the receiver from the top of the string to the bottom of it. If the deviation is more
than 1mm (<1/16 in.), the vertical axis needs calibrating.
Note: If calibration is required, please, refer to the calibration instructions on our Trimble website

Using the SpotFinder SF601 for vertical UL applications
With the UL633 using IR connection, the SF601 can be used in three different automatic modes Automatic-
Spot Alignment, SpotLok and Spot-Match and in addition in a manual/display (Spot Search) mode to detect
the plumb beam (fan beam).
Automatic-Spot Alignment: SF601 guides the beam to the target point in
the horizontal axis, while the Z-axis grade value will be maintained. Used for
first and second day alignment (pipe laying applications).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Using SpotLok mode (like PlaneLok) aligns and holds the plumb beam
automatically to the SF601 center point (both axes) until exiting this mode.
Automatic-Spot-Match: (like Grade Match- two existing elevation points
will be connected to measure the grade value between these two points)
aligns the plumb beam automatically to the SF601 center point (both axes)
and moves back to Z-axis automatic mode while displaying the measured
Z-axis grade value.
Note: When Automatic Spot Alignment and Automatic Spot-Match have been
completed, the UL633 turns off the fan beam automatically.
Note: With a quick press and release of the SF601 power button, the fan beam lens at the UL633 will be
activated/deactivated while a previous activated auto mode will be exited.
SF601 – Manual/Display Mode
With a quick press and release of the SF601 power button, the fan beam lens at the UL633 will be activated/
deactivated while a previous activated automatic mode will be exited.
Manual/Display (Spot Search) mode: If the fan beam lens will be activated and no automatic mode has
been started, the SF601 is in manual/display mode where the RED direction LEDs guide the user to the center
position of the fan beam.
Note: IR communication is disabled.
The direction LEDs work similar like using the pipe laser target, e.g., if the left top LED is on, the SF601 has
to be moved to the left/up position to bring the center hole into the center of the beam.
All 4 LEDs are solid red when the beam is centered.
