Critical Note on Calibration
When configuring the R-1307 Readout, it is critical to match the target ID with the target ID
identified on the serial number of the target. For example, if the target ID on the target serial
number label is 2, then the R-1307 must also be set to the number 2. If the target and readout and
not matched, a centering error of up to .004 in. (0.10 mm) can occur. In addition, the laser switch
setting (CONT. or Fixed vs. PULSE) must also agree with the R-1307 Readout setting (F10.10 vs.
P10.10).
For example:  .. or  .. for R-1307 #2
For more information on the Pulse/CONTinuous modes on the laser, see Pulse/Continuous Modes (L-
705, L-706 and L-708 Lasers) on Page 12. For complete information on matching the target to the
readout, see Configuring the R-1307 Readouts on Page 13.

R-1307 Target Readouts – Overview
The Model R-1307 Readouts support both wireless targets (such
as the A-1519) and cabled (local) targets. The wide choice of
configurations (R-1307B-2.4ZB, R-1307BC, R-1307C, R-1307-
900/2.4, R-1307-2.4ZB, R-1307W-900/2.4, R-1307W-2.4ZB and
R-1307+R) is designed to suit a user’s specific needs, with the
R-1307B-2.4ZB, the R-1307-2.4ZB, The R-1307+R and the R-
1307W-2.4 ZB models featuring ZigBee® radio technology.
Please note that some features described in sections of this
manual may not be applicable to the unit purchased.
The readout is available with a radio frequency of either 900
MHz or 2.4 GHz and can be used as the primary readout or as an
additional readout to copy position data captured by another R-
1307.

R-1307 Target Readout Accessories
The A-1307KS Readout Stand
Hamar Laser’s new A-1307KS Readout Stand allows for the secure
and convenient positioning of the R-1307 Readout. The Readout
Stand includes the following features:
•Four stand positions: 180°, 135°, 45° (shown in photo) and 0°
(closed).
•The stand support leg, when opened to 180°, can be used as a
hanger.
•Magnets on the back of the stand hold the Readout securely to
steel objects.
•When the A-1307KS is assembled to the Readout, magnets are installed on the bottom so the unit can
stand upright.
The A-1307KS can be retrofitted to any existing R-1307 Readout.
The T-231-A2l Adapter Cable
The T-231-A21 Adapter cable provides the ability to connect an older
(cabled) target that has a 7-pin Amp connector to the R-1307’s 14-pin
Lemo connector. Newer targets come with Lemo connectors and older
targets can be retrofitted if necessary.

R-1307 Readout Features
Model R-1307B-2.4ZB and Model R-1307BC – Control Panels
The R-1307B-2.4ZB and the R-1307BC Basic Series target readouts are available in two configurations.
The R-1307BC supports 2-axis cabled targets and the R-1307B-2.4ZB is a combination readout for
cabled targets with the capability to wirelessly transmit target data to a second R-1307 or to the A-910-
2.4ZB computer data receiver. Both models support blinking and continuous laser modes. Power is
provided by a 2500 mAh Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery for 7-22 hours of continuous use,
depending on the model, radio type and display brightness settings.
