2QUAD 4000
The Quad 4000 long range layout and control laser system with LineLokr Technology (LLT) enables you to
square your job, control elevation, snap your lines and plumb a structure with just one person, using just one
laser, and often from one setup. The Quad 4000 was designed from the ground up to provide accurate layout
and control functions while at the same time being easy to use.
LineLokr Technology (LLT) is the cornerstone of the system for layout, Line control, squaring and plumbing. The
LineLokr communicates with the Quad 4000 laser automatically driving the laser to centerline and holding it
there all day long. Line, square and plumb will not drift off because it is always being monitored and corrected
back to line via the LineLokr communication.
THE LASERLINE 4000 QUAD PROVIDES
• Level control covering a 1500 foot radius
• Line Control to ± 1/16 inch @ 600 feet
• Squaring left and right from center to
within ± 1/16 inch per 100 feet
• Plumb control to within ± 3/32 per 100
vertical feet
The Quad will automatically default to
vertical control when turned on. You
can select horizontal only or vertical
and horizontal using the “Mode”
button on the far left.

THE SYSTEM OVERVIEW

3QUAD 4000
2SQUARE
Once locked to your far point, the Quad 4000
then simultaneously transmits a rotating
plane of light at 90° angle left and right from
your baseline.
This creates a 600 foot square left and right
of centerline for any squaring application
such as building, structures, foundations, etc.
90°
90°
600’
3PLUMB
Since the Quad 4000 produces a vertical plane of
light along your baseline in front of the laser, plus
a vertical plane of light both left and right at 90°,
it allows you to plumb two sides of a structure
simultaneously from one setup. The Quad 4000
not only plumbs, but squares and controls rack
along the the entire vertical surface of your
structure. For shaft work, it provides plumb,
square and rack control on all four sides of the
interior wall structure at the same time.
ALL IN ONE, ALL AT ONCE.
Square your job, control elevation, snap your lines and plumb the structure with just one man at one time, with one
laser, from one setup. It’s easy to use and accurate!
LINE LOCKING
The Quad 4000 sets up on a tripod like a standard
instrument. It has a downward pointing laser
plummet through the center of the unit, allowing
you to easily get over your point. No offsets!
Once rough aimed within its line adjust limit, the
system will create a vertical plane forward of
the Quad 4000 that will automatically seek the
LineLokr module at your second point, lock on,
and then stay locked onto your far point. Line can
be locked up to 600 feet!

LEVEL
While the Quad 4000 is producing line and square,
it can also transmit a 360° level plane over the
entire job site. This allows for multiple uses. A
single person can establish line, as well as grade,
in applications such as screed lines, foundation
work and setting templates to name a few.
THE SYSTEM OVERVIEW

NOTE: Automatic Shutoff Feature: If after initial
setup, the Quad 4000 is bumped or moved, the
system shuts down to avoid line, square, plumb or
level errors from occurring.

LINELOKR™TECHNOLOGY (LLT) AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS YOUR
LASER ONLINE AND KEEPS IT THERE UP TO 600 FEET AWAY.
LLT provides a two-way communication between the Quad 4000
Laser and the LineLokr Line Control Module for vertical control
applications such as plumb, squaring and line layout.
LLT allows you to setup your laser at one point and then merely
push a button to obtain line. The Quad 4000 and LineLokr
communicate via a special radio link causing the Quad 4000 to
automatically drive itself to centerline and lock onto your far
point. The Quad 4000 and LineLokr continuously communicate
to maintain centerline and will not drift off due to wind and
temperature changes throughout the day.

LINELOKR CONTROLS & FEATURES

6QUAD 4000
When powered up, the Quad will automatically default to vertical mode control functions.
1. The Quad will start self-leveling and the downward shooting laser plumb bob will be activated.
2. Only the vertical laser coming out of the front of the Quad will come on until it locks on to the LineLokr at
centerline. Once line is locked, and the Quad has leveled, then all vertical planes are activated. This is
a safety feature to insure that someone cannot use the vertical reference until the Quad is in its proper
alignment, line locked, and level.
Vert Mode
*
Quad 4000 is providing line, square and plumb only. (Quad 4000 defaults to this
mode when powered up)
Horiz Mode
*
Quad 4000 is providing level control only.

THE QUAD DISPLAY STATUS
NOTE: If the Linelokr is not powered up then the Quad 4000 will display “No Signal.” Once you power up the
Linelokr the display will briefly show “Seeking Line.” This lets you know that the laser and the LineLokr are
communicating and will show you the strength of the radio communication between the Quad and the Linelokr.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU POWER UP THE QUAD AND LINELOKR?

7QUAD 4000
AUTO LINE RESET FEATURE
If the signal between the Quad 4000 and the LineLokr is blocked, the display will read “NO SIGNAL” then
after one minute the system will shut down and then begin automatically searching for line again. During
the searching process time the 90° lasers are shut off so that you cannot take an inaccurate shot. Once
the Quad 4000 is again locked to line, then the 90° beams are reactivated and you’re ready to go back to
squaring or plumbing.
(This function does not work if the unit is in the manual line mode)
QUAD 4000 KNOCKED/DISTURBED AUTO SHUT DOWN FEATURE
If the quad 4000 is operating in the “Vertical Mode” and gets jostled or disturbed, the system will shut
down, so that no bad line or grade shots can be taken.
The Quad 4000 must then be reset which allows you to insure that the Quad is directly over your point for
maximum line, square and plumb accuracy.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU POWER UP THE QUAD AND LINELOKR?

SETUP CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING THE LINELOKR
The LineLokrTM is a control device that communicates with the Quad 4000 via radio transmission. When the Quad
4000 receives a signal from the LineLokr the Quad 4000 will begin to search left and right to find the LineLokr. Once
the Quad 4000 laser strikes the active photocell of the LineLokr the Quad will slowly drive to the center and lock on.
The normal operating range of the LineLokr is 600 feet assuming that the Quad 4000 and the LineLokr are both
about three to four feet or more off the ground (mounted to tripods)
THE ACTUAL RANGE CAN VARY DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS SUCH AS:
• HEIGHT OFF THE GROUND (HIGHER IS BETTER)
• SPARKING OR WELDING OPERATION NEARBY
• IN SOME CASES, THE TYPE OF OUTDOOR LIGHTING
• HIGH WINDS BUFFETING THE LASER AND LINELOKR
• RADIO INTERFERENCE FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE

NOTE: The shorter the distance from the Quad to the LineLokr the more critical the rough aiming. LineLokr time
is dependent on distance, aiming, ambient temperature and battery power. Normally The Quad 4000 will line
lock in about one or two minutes.
!
NOTE: When mounting the LineLokr to a tripod, use a standard tribrach and 5/8 thread tribrach adapter. Level
tribrach using bulls eye bubble on the tribrack, disregarding the bubble on the LineLokr.

directly over your point.
2Set up Quad at corner point that you want to
square off of or center point to square left and
right at one time as illustrated above.
3Power up the Quad 4000 and make sure the
antenna is in the upright position. When powered
up, the Quad will automatically default to the
‘VERTICAL’ mode for the line, square and plumb
applications.
4Level the bullseye bubble on the Quad by
extending or contracting the tripod legs.
5Adjust the Quad directly over your point using the
laser plumb bob (readjust tripod if necessary to
get over point)
6Aim the Quad at the LineLokr using sighting device
(recheck and make sure you are still directly over
your point) The Quad 4000 will automatically seek
the LineLokr and lock on to line. Once locked on,
the Quad will transmit both vertical lasers for line,
square and plumb.
NOTE: The key to achieving the most precise results for line, squaring and plumb applications is making sure the
Quad 4000 is directly over the center point and the LineLokr is directly on centerline at your far point.

CHECKING FOR SQUARE ACCURACY OF THE QUAD 4000

13QUAD 4000
1. Set the Quad 4000 on a 5/8x11 tripod at least 100 feet from a wall surface
2. Level the tripod head using the bulls eye bubble on the Quad 4000 by raising or lowering the tripod legs until
the bulls eye bubble is centered
3. Aim the Quad 4000 at the wall using the sighting device on the top of the Quad
4. Turn the power on and select the “Horizontal Mode” and allow the unit to level up
5. Place your laser detector on the “Fine” or narrowest dead band setting and locate the “ON GRADE” signal
against the wall that you have aimed the laser at and mark this spot.
6. Rotate the Quad 4000 180°
7. Find “ON GRADE” on the wall at the same location as your first mark
8. The two marks should be within 1/16 of each other at 100 feet from the laser to the wall for the Quad 4000 to
be within its level spec. (± 1/16 per 10 linear feet-10 arc seconds)
9. Repeat the above process by aiming the laser out of the right and left sides to determine if the Quad is level
on that axis as well (± 1/16 within)
