Warranty
Trimble warrants the 5.2XL to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for a period of three years. For the first 24 months, 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. For months 25 through 36 an exchange
fee may apply. 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.
Trimble or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace, at its
option, any defective part or components of which notice has been given
during the warranty period.
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 lenses 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 lenses.
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 5/8" x 11 tripod or 1/4" x 20 tripod with
adapter (0002-3420).
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.
Note: The top/bottom LED flashes when the receiver is within 6 mm
(
1
/4 in.) of being on grade and light continuously when the receiver is
between 6 mm and 25 mm (
1
/4 in. and 1 in.) of being above or below the
laser beam. The green LED flashes when the receiver is on grade.

Selecting the Grade Sensitivity
The receiver always starts up with the on-grade sensitivity (fine) active.
1. Press the grade-sensitivity button repeatedly to select between fine: 1.5 mm
(
1
/16 in.) and medium: 3 mm (
1
/8 in.) grade sensitivity.
Selecting the Audio Function
The receiver always starts up with the audio mode (loud) active.
1. Press the power/audio button repeatedly to cycle through the audio levels,
which include off, soft, and loud.
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.
Using the Receiver with a Laser
1. Press the power/audio button to turn on the receiver. Also make sure the
Receiver Operation LED on the 5.2XL laser is GREEN (if not, press the
RECEIVER button on the 5.2XL)
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.
Learning the Receiver Functions
Turning On/Off the Receiver
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
(diagnostic mode). After the
diagnostic mode is complete, the
grade sensitivity (fine) and the audio
(loud) symbols appear.
2. Press and hold the power/audio button for one second to turn off
the receiver.
Turning On/Off LEDs
The LEDs show the position of the receiver relative to the laser beam.
Turning off the LEDs extends battery life.
The factory default setting for the LEDs is on.
1. Press the grade-sensitivity and power/audio buttons at the same time to
turn the LEDs on or off.
Note: When the LEDs are turned on, all LEDs light for one second; when
the LEDs are turned off, both red LEDs light for one second.
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 5.2XL is Class 3A/3R (< 5mW, 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.
NOTE: It is required to post a Laser Safety Sign and to read, sign and carry a
Laser Operator's Card when this laser is operated in public places.
