Warranty
Trimble warrants the 1.5PL to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one year. Trimble or its authorized Dealer or
service center will repair or replace, at its option, any defective part, or the
entire product, for which notice has been given during the warranty period.
This warranty period is in effect from the date the system is delivered by
Trimble or its authorized Dealer to the purchaser, or is put into service by a
Dealer as a demonstrator or rental component.
Customers should send products to the nearest Authorized Factory, Dealer,
or Service Center for warranty repairs, freight prepaid. In countries with
Trimble Service Subsidiary Centers, the repaired products will be returned
to the customer, freight prepaid.
Any evidence of negligent, abnormal use, accident, or any attempt to repair
equipment by other than factory-authorized personnel Trimble certified or
recommended parts, automatically voids the warranty.
Special precautions have been taken to ensure the calibration of the laser;
however, calibration is not covered by this warranty. Maintenance of the
calibration is the responsibility of the user.
The foregoing states the entire liability of Trimble regarding the purchase
and use of its equipment. Trimble will not be held responsible for any
consequential loss or damage of any kind.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, except as set forth above,
including an implied warranty merchantability of fitness for a particular
purpose, is hereby disclaimed. This warranty is in lieu of all other
warranties, expressed or implied.
Maintenance and Care
Handling Precautions
When transferring the laser from a very low temperature to a warmer
environment or visa versa, always allow time for the laser to reach the new
temperature before using. Allowing this time is especially important when
transferring the laser from an extremely heated/cold vehicle to the job site.
System Cleaning
For maximum performance and accuracy always keep the windows clean.
When cleaning, apply very light pressure and use only a good quality glass
cleaner on a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the laser and its windows.
CAUTION: A dry cloth or abrasive organic cleaner could scratch or damage
these surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the laser.
Storage
When you’re not using the laser, store it in its pouch/carrying case.
CAUTION: Do not store the laser in a wet pouch/carrying case. If the
pouch/carrying case gets wet, let it dry before storing the laser in it.
Calibration
Before each use, be sure to check the laser for signs of damage. If the laser has
been dropped or subjected to other rough treatment, it should be checked for
accuracy. For instruction on checking calibration, please visit our website
support list at www.trimble.com/support.shtml

Determining the Height of Instrument (HI)
The height of instrument (HI) is the elevation of the laser’s beam. The HI
is determined by adding the grade-rod reading to a benchmark or known
elevation.
1. Set up and level the laser.
2. Attach the receiver to a grade rod and turn on the receiver.
3. Place the grade rod on a job-site benchmark (BM) or known elevation.
4. Slide the receiver up/down the grade rod until the LCD shows an
on-grade reading.
5. Add the grade-rod reading to the benchmark to determine the height of
instrument.
Example:
Benchmark elevation = 30.55 m (100.23 ft)
On-grade rod reading = + 1.32 m (4.34 ft)
Height of instrument = 31.87 m (104.57 ft)
6. Use this HI as a reference for all other elevations.
Laser Setup with a Tripod
1. Set up the tripod in the middle of your work area (or wherever is best for
your application needs). Make sure the setup is stable.
Note: The typical operating radius of the system is 75 m (250 ft).
Note: For best system performance, do not set up the laser within 6 m
(20 ft) of a wall. Also do not use the receiver within 6 m (20 ft) of the
laser or within 1.5 m (5 ft) of a wall. At these close ranges, the receiver’s
electronics may give incorrect beam elevation information due to the laser
beam reflecting off of the walls.
2. Attach the laser directly to a ⅝ x 11 tripod. Use the optional adapter (p/n
0002-3430) for ¼ x 20 tripods.
3. Turn on the laser and receiver.
3. Slide the survey rod or wooden pole
between the clamp’s jaws.
4. Turn the jaws screw clockwise to hold
the general-purpose clamp securely in
place.
Attaching the Receiver to a Grade Rod
1. Slide the general-purpose clamp into
the receiver until it “clicks” into
position.
2. Turn the jaws screw counterclockwise
to open the clamp’s jaws.
Using the Receiver with a Laser
1. Press the power/audio button to turn on the receiver. Also make sure the
Receiver Mode LED on the 1.5PL laser is RED (if not, press the
RECEIVER button on the 1.5PL).
2. Position the receiver so that its photocell faces the laser.
3. Move the receiver up/down until the LCD and LEDs show an on-grade
reading.
Note: The LCD shows a down arrow when the receiver is above the laser
beam, an up arrow when below it, and a horizontal line when centered in
the laser beam. The LED is red for above grade. green for on grade, and
blue for below grade.
Laser Safety
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 1.5PL is a Class 3A/3R (635 nm) laser.
• 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.
1. Press the power/audio button
to turn on the receiver.
Note: When the receiver is
initially turned on/off, all LCD
symbols, LEDs, and the audio
signal are turned on for one second.
2. Press and hold the power/audio
button for one second to turn off
the receiver.
Selecting the Audio Function
The receiver always starts up with the audio mode (loud) active.
1. Press the power/audio button repeatedly to cycle the audio level - loud, low
or off.
Note: If the audio function is on, the receiver beeps quickly when the
receiver is above the laser beam, slowly when below it, and continuously
when centered in the laser beam or on grade.
