Numeric digits / text display
Three digits display either the numeric elevation or
simple text messages. Numeric elevation can be
displayed in mm, cm, inch or fractional inch. Resolution
and decimal point will be determined by the units of
measure and the accuracy selected.
Grade indication arrows
Four individual levels of grade information for above
and below grade. Arrow size increases, as distance
from on-grade increases. Arrow bars represent steps of
the selected dead band. Horizontal bar indicates on grade.
Out-of-beam display: A sequence of arrows indicates if
the receiver has moved beyond the vertical reception
range and will indicate in which direction to move to get
back to the laser beam.

Only authorized and trained personnel are allowed to repair the
device. Only use genuine spare parts from Metsys This ensures
continuous device safety.
Do not look directly into the laser beam.
Laser receiver should not be used in the vicinity of pacemakers. The
magnets produce a field which can affect the function of the
pacemaker.
Keep the laser receiver away from data media and devices that react
sensitive to magnetic force. Exposure to magnets can result in
irreversible data loss.
Noise emission The a-rated sound pressure level of the acoustic
signal is >80 db (A) at a distance of one meter.
Do not hold the laser receiver directly to your ear!
Keep the laser receiver away from children.
Do not use the laser receiver in explosive atmospheres or near
flammable liquids, gases or dust. The device may produce sparks
that can ignite vapors or dust.
Please remove the battery if the device is not in use for a prolonged
period of time.
Use only genuine Metsys accessories. When using non-
recommended accessories, you may receive incorrect measuring
values.
Please read this instruction manual before using the device for the first
time and comply with it. Retain this instruction manual for
future reference or for subsequent owners.

may result in damage to the device and cause dangerous situations for
the operator and other people. In case of transport damage please inform
your vendor immediately.

Pressing the volume [16] key for more than two seconds enters the
menu functions.
Menu items (e.g. SEn are shown non-flashing and may be browsed
by using the ARROW keys [17] and [18].
Menu items are selected by pressing the ENTER key [16]
Item values (e.g. On) are shown flashing and may be browsed by
using the ARROW keys [17] and [18].
Exit the Menu by pressing the ESC key [15].
User defined on-grade level:
An arbitrary level within -10 and +40mm around the
marking notch can be used as on-grade level. The user
defined on-grade level is set by pressing the accuracy
button [17] for two seconds while the device is in the
laser beam. If successful, you will hear a confirmation
beep and an asymmetric arrow symbol is shown on the
display. Outside the allowed area you will hear an error
beep and error code E30 is shown.
When the accuracy button [17] is pressed for two
seconds while out of beam, the on-grade level is reset
to default. If the device is switched off, the on-grade
level is automatically reset to default. If you want to
save the user defined on-grade level permanently, you
can choose this option in the menu (see Menu Entries -
.OFS).
Using the menu
The menu functions can be used to edit various
options. For most applications the factory defaults are
best choice. We recommend to change settings only in
special applications.
