The GL3000T was designed for long range alignment applications. The GL3000T is a modular or “building block”
design that allows the laser to be upgraded from its basic form. This enables the contractor to configure the laser
based on the specific application and jobsite needs.
Features:
Highly visible 5mw green laser diode with round spot
Stable, rugged base with heavy duty tapered bearings
Smooth, precise 64 pitch horizontal and vertical tangents
Laser spot is fixed focused to infinity from maximum range without the need to frequently adjust
the focus
Stable and accurate performance
Modular design allows you to build up or down to your specific needs
Field friendly, easy to use

Warning!
Laser is filled with dry nitrogen to prevent moisture.
Do not open or tamper with purge valve, front, rear or
bottom covers. No user or non-certified persons shall
access interior of laser! Removal of covers is
prohibited and voids the factory warranty.
Start-up Procedure
Turn the Key Switch (1) to right, 3 minutes
prior to use. This puts the laser module in the
“preheat” mode to bring it up to operating
temperature. The laser Main Power / Mode
button (2) and Redundant LED emissions
indicator light (7) will slow blink while it’s
warming up. Once the lights stop blinking and
go out, the laser will be ready to turn on. Push
(2) Main Power / Mode Switch once for steady
beam, twice for blinking and third shuts off
the laser
*NOTE: Redundant Dual LED Emissions
Indicator lights (13) will always be on steady
during warm up period and while in use.

Precautions for Handling Instrument
1. Carry instrument in its case whenever transporting it between jobs.
2. When carrying the instrument while on a tripod, do not carry it over the shoulder but cradled in an under arm
position. The instrument should never be lifted for carrying until a security check is made of all fasteners,
especially the tripod mounting bolt.
3. When setting up the instrument, be sure to spread the tripod legs sufficiently to guard against possible fall.
4. Particular care should be taken not to grasp any part which may put the instrument out of adjustment, such as
the telescope, level vial, etc.
5. When leaving the instrument set up outdoors for long periods of time, in applications like dredging , it is highly
recommended that the laser be set up in an enclosure or “house” to protect it from the elements.
6. Do not expose the instrument to rain. If the instrument is subjected to moisture, wipe it carefully with a dry
cloth before returning to its case.
7. Never store laser in a damp dirty case!
8. Keep laser stored in a dry place.
9. Upon completion of use, clean the instrument before returning it to its case. Clean the lens carefully with a soft
hair brush or lens tissue. When dust cannot be removed by that method, use several drops of alcohol on a lint
free cloth or lens tissue and wipe gently.

Mount the GL3000T on any flat surface using
a 5/8 x 11 bolt through a plate. Be sure the
engagement length of the threads doesn’t exceed
7/16”.
Power up by connecting the 15’ power cord to a
12VDC source or (Optional 1140-3 Power Converter
for 90-260 VAC)
Horizontal alignment is controlled by loosening the
horizontal lock and rough aligning the laser beam to
the far point. Tighten the lock, then adjust the laser
left and right using the fine adjust tangent.
Vertical alignment is accomplished using the vertical
lock and tangent in the same steps as the horizontal.
Optional-Scope Installation and alignment uses a
rifle style mount “Weaver” (Model 63B). Attach the
rifle scope of your choice to the “Weaver” mount as
per the instructions that come with the scope. To
align the scope crosshairs in parallel with the laser
beam, measure the distance from the center of the
scope cross hair to the center of the laser beam.
This will give you the offset of the laser beam center
to the cross hair center.
Example:
Center of the laser to center of cross hair = 2-11/32
(Example is with LaserLine factory installed scope)
On a piece of cardboard or paper, draw a vertical
line with two horizontal lines going through it at the
calculated distance. From the previous example, 2-
11/32 (5.95cm) apart.
Place the target on a wall or vertical surface at least
150 yards (137 meters) from the laser. Set the laser
on a tripod and aim it at the target. Use the
horizontal and vertical tangents to place the laser
spot on the center of the lower cross hair of the far
target.
Use the crosshair horizontal (8)adjustment to adjust
the vertical crosshair until it is centered on the laser
spot. Next, use the cross-hair vertical adjustment (9)
to adjust the horizontal cross-hair in the scope to
match the upper cross-hair on the far target. The
laser beam is now parallel with spotting scope cross
hairs.
Optional-Fan Lens (P/N 2000-0025) changes the laser
beam from a spot to a vertical plane reference. The
laser beam maintains its standard width at any given
distance while fanning out in the vertical at the rate
of 1,320 feet per mile. The fan lens is hinged on the
left side to allow you to swing the lens out of the
way and use the beam rather than the plane of laser
light without having to remove the fan lens
assembly.

The GL3000T Laser is classified internationally as a Class 3B Laser Product. The GL3000T is classified in the USA as a Class
IIIa Laser Product. Lasers are used every day in construction and alignment applications. With every use, eye safety is a
consideration. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM.
The Operators of the laser are effectively the “Safety Persons”’ and are responsible for preventing accidents and
unwanted exposure.
(Note for NON US OPERATION) The Operation of Class 3B lasers are generally to be overseen by a Laser Safety Officer
(LSO) in your facility or organization. For further data regarding suggested or required operating parameters consult
the IEC 60825 family of standards and/or your national and local government organization.
View or looking at the laser spot impacted on the road or highway is normal operating procedure from the GL3000T and
is how the product is used for guidance applications. There is no danger or hazard to the Operator or Driver using the
laser in this manner. However, do not directly expose eyes (i.e., do not look back up into the laser source) between the
laser aperture and the termination point of the beam on the ground.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS (Cont’d)
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other that those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When installing the laser inside the cab and shoot the laser beam through the windshield. This is an unsafe
practice as the laser beam can reflect back off the windshield into the Operator’s eyes (backscatter).
Do not mount allowing the laser beam to be directed to hit any shiny or reflective surface on the vehicle,
such as chrome, side mounted rear view mirrors, or glass surfaces.
Lasers are bright lights that can or may be aimed. Be aware of people and your surroundings.
Therefore, think of the laser as the sun, something you do not stare back into. Do not look at the laser
through optical devices, or look at it reflected off of shiny surfaces such as chrome, glass or mirrors.
Turn laser off in the event of potential exposures: i.e., stopped at a crosswalk in the vicinity of pedestrian
traffic. Watch for the reflection off of bumpers, windows, etc.
Do not open laser housing, no user serviceable parts inside. Service to be performed ONLY by the
manufacture.
NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance) for this product ≈ 530m
Aided eye viewing 'intrabeam exposure' is not considered reasonably foreseeable based on the application
and use of this laser product. Accidental eye exposure (unaided eye viewing) is unlikely, but is limited to
Class IIIa / 3R levels, and does not require laser safety eyewear.
