feet (610m) and one button operation with bright backlit LCD display. Waterproof and dry
nitrogen charged.
Mounting Trivet Plate P/N 4003-0002
3 point leveling base with quick disconnect rotational mount for QUAD
1000HDU laser.
(2) Alignment Targets P/N 4001-0010
“Ultra-bright” bulls-eye for the most visible and precise readings at any
distance. Targets feature laser pass through allowing multiple readings at one
time, special hard coating that protects the graphics on the target face and
two ¼ inch holes for custom mounting.
Carrying Case P/N 3000-0182
Blow molded, custom fit foam inserts and two locking
latches for securing your items.
Power Cord, P/N 2020-0203
3 Pin Military grade connector with positive and negative alligator
clips. Length=20 Ft. (6.096 Meters)
*OPTIONAL: P/N 1140-3
The 1140 Series Power Converter will run your laser at 13VDC with
90 to 260 VAC. The 1140 senses what voltage it is hooked up to and
automatically runs the laser on that voltage.

The Quad 1000HDU projects a precise laser beam straight up (Zenith) to 2,000 feet/610m for the purpose of providing plumb
control for your project. It also features a short range downward shooting laser beam that is used like a plumb-bob or optical
tribrach to easily get directly over your point.
The Quad 1000HDU is a self- leveling instrument with electronic temperature compensation. It measures or senses ambient
temperature changes while in operation and continually recalibrates itself to maintain the highest degree of accuracy possible.
This insures consistent, accurate readings for plumb control on your project throughout the course of the job.
Accurate: ±5 arc seconds (± 1/32 inch per 100 feet) (.793mm per 30.48 meters)
Long Range: Provides zenith plumb control up to a height of 2,000 feet (610 meters)
Rugged: Heavy duty ¼ inch thick aluminum housing with hard coat anodized finish
Dust and waterproof: Purged and dry nitrogen filled with IP67 rating

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU POWER-UP?
The Quad 1000HDU is activated and controlled by a single button. When you push the power button, the unit
begins to self- level. Leveling status and battery power are displayed on the LCD screen. The downward shooting
smaller beam (plumb-bob) is activated and will be blinking. Once the Quad has self- leveled to within its
operating spec, the plum-bob laser comes on steady and the long range upward (Zenith) shooting laser beam is
activated.
Self-leveling time is normally under ten seconds. After five minutes has elapsed, the downward shooting plumb-
bob laser automatically shuts off to save battery power. If at a later time you want to check to see if you are over
your point, just push the power button to OFF, then push again to ON. This will activate the plum-bob laser for
five more minutes.

SETTING UP
A) Set the tripod over your point on the ground floor with the head fairly level.
B) Attach the Quad1000HDU to the tripod with the 5/8 x 11 bolt. (Snug only, do
not over tighten)
C) Power up the unit.
D) Level the bulls- eye bubble on the Quad 1000HDU by adjusting the tripod legs
up or down.
E) Loosen the 5/8 x 11 attachment bolt and slide the Quad 1000HDU until the laser
plumb-bob is directly over your point. Re-tighten attachment bolt to snug.
USING A TRIPOD:
(Standard Flat Head with 5/8 x 11 Attachment)
Tripod leg adjustment for leveling
the bulls- eye bubble
Note: Always set the Quad 1000HDU on the ground floor or lowest floor possible and leave it in that location for the duration
of the job. Do not move the Quad 1000HDU up from floor to floor as the building progresses. This can create compounding
errors.
USING THE TRIVET MOUNT: (This is the preferred method) It keeps the instrument low to the deck and closer to your
reference point. Also, since the unit is only inches off the ground, it won’t be so vulnerable to getting knocked over like with a
tripod.
A. Attach the Quad 1000HDU to the quick disconnect rotational receiver mount.
B. Place the trivet over your reference point on the ground floor.
C. Level the Quad 1000HDU bulls-eye bubble by using the 3 adjustable leveling bolts on the trivet mount.
D. Power up the Quad 1000HDU and allow it to self-level. The plumb-bob laser will blink until it has leveled.
E. Once leveled, slide the trivet until the plumb laser is directly over your point. The instrument is now projecting a
beam reference at Zenith

A) They can be used as a centering template for floor/deck
marking as described above. (4 template notches)
B) The targets are made of a translucent material allowing the
laser spot to be read from the opposite side that the laser spot is
impacting the target face.
C) The centering rings (bulls-eye target) make it easy to read the
target and center the laser spot
D) One target features a ¼ inch hole through the target center
that allows the center of the laser spot to pass through so that
more than one target can be used at the same time.
E) There are two mounting holes in each target to allow for
custom mounting at the job site.

WARNING:
Turn the laser OFF when centering up on the alignment target with an optical plummeted instrument. (Transferred points
from floor to floor) Viewing the laser spot through an optical plummet can increase the chance of eye hazard.

JOBSITE CALIBRATION CHECK
(Recommend performing calibration check once a week at minimum)
1. Using the trivet mount or tripod, get the Quad 1000HDU precisely over your reference
point on the ground floor.
2. Place the target / template precisely centered on the laser spot at the highest point
possible above the Quad 1000HDU. (At least 100 feet if possible) Secure the target so it
will not move.
3. Rotate the Quad 1000HDU 180°; If using a tripod, make sure you are still positioned over
your reference point.
4. Go back to the target and measure any change of the laser spot relative to the bulls-eye
target.
Given the dynamics and movement of structures due to temperature, wind, loads etc., the
target relation to the Quad 1000HDU laser may be moving and not providing a constant. This
should definitely be taken into consideration so as a result, depending on conditions, you could
be getting readings of 1/16 or 1/8 at the target per 100 vertical feet. If you are not
comfortable or confident with the field calibration check, have it checked by your Dealer
Service Department.
MAINTENANCE
The Quad 1000HDU requires no maintenance other than periodically cleaning the laser output
lens. Use a soft cloth with Windex or alcohol.
*NOTE: Laser must be turned OFF when cleaning the lens!
CERTIFICATION

LASER SAFETY
Laser Light-Avoid Direct Eye Exposure
The maximum power output of this laser is less than 5mw. A laser safety kit is supplied with the Quad
1000HDU laser. The kit contains operator qualification cards and a sign that should be posted near the
laser whenever it is in use.
Observe the following rules:
Never look directly into a laser beam or point the beam into the eyes of others. Set the laser at a
height that prevents the beam from shining directly into people’s eyes.
DO NOT remove any warning signs from the laser.
Only properly trained people are to use this product.
Service to be performed only by factory trained personnel; unit contains no user serviceable
parts.
