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.

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.

5QUAD 4000
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.
1. Power Button: Depress to activate LineLokr and
communicate with the Quad 4000 (When first
activated, unit will Self Test Mode 4 seconds)
When turning off, hold power button down for two
seconds
2. MM/Inches Button: Changes display only – Not
operational in LineLokr
3. Speaker Button: Increase or decrease volume
4. Widen/Narrow Deadband Button: Regardless of the
LCD display, the LineLokr will continue to lock to the
highest possible accuracy (LineLokr accuracy is
not affected by deadband setting)
5. LCD Display: Indicates whether Quad 4000 is
driving left, driving right or is on center and locked
on line.
6. Leveling Screws: Used to level the bulls eye bubble
when the LineLokr is mounted on a tripod in order to
get the laser plumb bob (8) over your point
7. Bulls Eye Bubble: Used when LineLokr is
mounted to tripod or floor to insure laser
plumb bob is plumb and over your point
8. Laser Plumb Bob: For tripod set up, allows
you to set LineLokr over your point
9. Laser Plumb Bob Battery Door Access:
For laser plumb bob battery access (4ea. Alkaline
batteries)
10. Laser Plumb Bob Power Button: Activates laser
plumb bob; Automatically turns off after 3 minutes
to save battery power
11. Batter Board Line Indicator: Lines up with line
reference on the batter board to get LineLokr on
line
12. Batter Board Lock Knob: Used to attach and
tighten LineLokr to batter board
13. LineLokr Battery Door: Allows access to LineLokr
batteries (2ea. AA Alkaline batteries)
14. LineLokr Communication Antenna: Sends Line
control information to Quad – drive right, drive left
for centerline and “locked on”

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.
Vert + Horiz
*
*Quad 4000 is providing line, square, plumb and level.
No Signal
*
*
Quad 4000 and LineLokr are not communicating.
Seeking Line
*
*
Briefly displayed when the Quad 4000 and LineLokr are communicating.
Seeking Left
*
*
Laser is driving to the left looking for the LineLokr.
Seeking Right
*
*
Laser is driving to the right, looking for LineLokr.
Locking Line
*
*
Quad 4000 has found the LineLokr and is driving to center.
(Flashes until locked on.)
Line Locked
*
*
Quad 4000 is locked on to line and will continue to
correct to center until shut off.
(Steady when locked on.)
Manual Line
*Is activated by depressing the center button Quad will not automatically
seek line. Line must be obtained by pressing to drive line right and to drive
line left when using a standard laser detector instead of the LineLokr to
establish line.
QUAD DISPLAY INFORMATION

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.
