OVERVIEW
The Quad 1000 projects a precise laser beam straight up (Zenith) to 1,200 feet/366m
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 1000 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.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU POWER-UP?
The Quad 1000 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
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 about five
inches off the ground it won’t be so vulnerable to getting knocked over like with a
tripod.
A) Attach the Quad 1000 to the trivet using the spring loaded 5/8 x 11 mounting bolt.
B) Place the trivet over your reference point on the ground floor.
C) Level the Quad 1000 bulls-eye bubble by using the adjustable legs on the trivet.
D) Power up the Quad 1000 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.
USING A TRIPOD: Standard flat head with 5/8 x 11 attachment
A) Set the tripod over your point on the ground floor
with the head fairly level.
B) Attach the Quad 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 1000 by
adjusting the tripod legs up or down.
E) Loosen the 5/8 x 11 attachment bolt and slide the
Quad 1000 until the laser plumb-bob is directly over
your point. Re-tighten attachment bolt to snug.

SETTING UP (CONTINUED)
PLACING THE QUAD 1000 DIRECTLY ON THE DECK / SLAB
(Flat / level surface ground floor)
A) Using a pencil and a square, or the notched target
provided, draw a line through and across the center of
your reference point extending about 6 inches on either
side of center. Next, draw a line through the center at 90
degrees from the first line at about the same 6 inch
length from the reference point. You have created an X
with the center intersection point being the center of
the reference point.
B) Set the Quad 1000 on the deck and adjust the unit so
that two pencil lines are in line with the two centering
notches on the sides of the Quad base, and one line is
centered on the notch on the front of the Quad. The
instrument is now directly over the reference point.
C) Power up the Quad 1000.
ALIGNMENT / TEMPLATE TARGETS
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) The targets have 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.

600 ft. / 183m
900 ft. / 274m

JOBSITE CALIBRATION CHECK
1. Using the trivet mount, tripod or deck / slab mount as shown in “Setting Up” get
the Quad 1000 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 1000. (At least 100 feet if possible) Secure the
target so it will not move.
3. Rotate the Quad 1000 180° and very precisely set it over the 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 1000 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 1000 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!

LASER SAFETY
The maximum power output of this laser is less than 5mw. A laser safety kit is supplied
with the Quad 1000 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.
If service is required, which results in the removal of the outer protective cover,
only factory-trained personnel must perform this.
