QUAD 1000HDD Laser Package Includes:
QUAD 1000HDD Laser P/N 4003-0000
5 arc second nadir (Downward) laser featuring electronic servo self-leveling with
variable temperature compensation for the most accurate and consistent readings.
Downward nadir laser to 2,000 feet (610m) with one button operation and 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
1000HDD 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 1000HDD projects a precise laser beam straight down (Nadir) to 2,000 feet/610m for the
purpose of providing plumb control for your project.
The Quad 1000HDD 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 plumb control to a depth 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

SETTING UP
Virtually every project is different in terms of jobsite fabrication of the platform that the Quad
1000HDD mounting trivet will be mounted to.
There is one constant however, and that is that the platform must be flat, level and rigid.
Once the platform is positioned and welded in place, the Quad 1000HDD can be precisely positioned on the platform.
One method would be to attach the Quad 1000HDD to the rotational mount on the trivet mount, attach a survey-prism to
the 5/8 thread on the top of the Quad 1000HDD. Level the bulls-eye bubble using the three leveling screws and traverse
the Quad 1000HDD across the platform using a total station to position the unit to the plumb point.
Once the Quad 1000HDD is directly over (or under) your plumb point with the bulls-eye level, then tie the trivet down
using the tie down anchor slots.
What Happens When You Power Up?
The Quad 1000HDD is activated and controlled by a single button. When you push the power button, the
unit begins to self-level and the downward shooting beam will blink.
Once the Quad 1000HDD has self-leveled to within its operating spec, the beam then becomes steady.
*Note: Self leveling time is normally under 10 seconds.

SETTING UP

QUAD 1000HDD
Job built steel plate platform with
oversized hole. (Flat-Level-Rigid)
Laser Trivet Mount
Position laser over or under plumb point
Make sure bulls-eye bubble remains centered using the three adjustment Knobs.
Once in place, lock adjustment knobs and secure trivet to mounting platform.

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.

1000 ft. / 305m
1.10” / 2.8cm
1500 ft. / 457m
1.40” / 3.6cm
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.
Approximate Beam Size at Distance (1:1 scale)
ALIGNMENT / TEMPLATE TARGETS (2ea.)

(Recommend performing calibration check once a week at minimum)
With the Quad 1000HDD mounted in place on the mounting trivet plate.
1. Place the target / template precisely centered on the laser spot at the lowest point possible below
the Quad 1000HDD. (At least 100 feet if possible) Secure the target so it will not move.
2. Rotate the Quad 1000HDD on its rotational mount 180°.
3. 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 1000HDD 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 1000HDD 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
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
1000HDD 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.
