STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY
MOBA Mobile Automation Australia Pty Ltd (MOBA Australia) warrants all equipment it
manufactures and sells to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period
specified below. This warranty period is from the date of sales invoice. All other components
not manufactured by MOBA Australia and not specified below, such as hydraulic or electrical
components, hoses, fittings and clamps, will carry the original manufacturer's warranty. The
warranty covers only equipment sold by MOBA Australia and it's authorised dealers and does
not cover parallel imports, which are also known as grey or direct imports. Proof of purchase
will be required before claiming warranty.
Warranty period:
The foregoing states the entire liability of MOBA Australia regarding the purchase and use of
its equipment. MOBA Australia will not be held responsible for any consequential loss or
damage of any kind.
MOBA Australia or its authorised service centre will repair or replace, at its option, any
defective part or component of which notice has been given during the warranty period. If
service in the field is necessary to repair machine-mounted equipment under warranty, MOBA
Australia may authorize on-site repairs at no charge for parts and labour. Travel time,
accommodation and other expenses incurred to and from the place where repairs are made
will be charged to the purchaser at the prevailing rates. If warranty service can be done at a
factory authorised service centre, the customer will pay only one-way freight charges.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, except as set forth above,
including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose which are
hereby disclaimed.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or deterioration. Any evidence of
negligence or abnormal use, accident, improper installation or an attempt to repair equipment
by anyone other than factory authorised personnel even when using MOBA Australia's certified
or recommended parts, automatically voids the warranty.
The warranty shall only be in force for the benefit of the Purchaser, not any third parties,
including without limitation the Purchaser's customers, unless warranty transfer has been
approved by MOBA Australia in writing

Press the On/Off switch (10) for 2 seconds to turn the unit on/off. The small red power-on
LED (5) indicates the mode of operation as determined by the Reference Dial (9) position:
2.1 Powering Up
LED flashing – Tilt compensation feature is on. The unit automatically accounts for the
dipper arm tilt to indicate correct digging depth. Reference Dial (9) not in Off position.
LED solid – Tilt compensation feature is off. The unit does not account for the dipper arm
tilt when indicating correct digging depth. This mode is less accurate. Reference Dial (9) in
Off position.
On power up, the sensor will do an LED test sequence, activating in turn the red, green
and amber LEDs. It will then show the current accuracy selection by briefly flashing the
appropriate LED pattern (see section 2.4).

2. Set up the laser instrument on a steady tripod.
2.2.1 Setting Up With Tilt Compensation On
4. Determine the Setup Length by measuring the distance between the bucket pivot pin
and the ‘MT REF’ line on the magnetic bracket. This is the same as the mounting
distance L minus the bucket height B:
The Setup Length should lie within the R.45.TC/R.45.TC.PRO’s working range of 0.25-
2.5m. If it is outside of this range, lower or raise the height of the laser instrument (HI)
and readjust the R.45.TC/R.45.TC.PRO mounting position to bring it within range.
5. Turn the Reference Dial (9) to the measured Setup Length value or to the closest
available value.
3. Mount the R.45.TC /R.45.TC.PRO on the dipper arm such that the ‘MT REF’
(Mounting Reference) line mark on the side of the magnetic bracket is at a distance L
from the ground. Distance L equals the height of the laser instrument (HI) plus the
desired depth of excavation (C), both with respect to the benchmark:
6. 'Zero' the setup position by pressing and holding together the Accuracy (8) and
On/Off (10) switches. A successful 'zeroing' is acknowledged by a brief flashing of the
green LED cluster and sounding of the buzzer. An unsuccessful attempt is indicated by
a brief flashing together of the red and amber LED clusters. A failed attempt can be
caused if the R.45.TC/R.45.TC.PRO is angled too far from the vertical or if the
Reference Dial (9) is in the off position.
The long side of the R.45.TC /R.45.TC.PRO body should be parallel with the dipper arm
and in line with the top and bucket pivot pins of the dipper arm. The switchpad should
be orientated to the bottom.
1. Ensure the dipper arm is vertical and the bucket is level.
Setup Length = L - B
For best accuracy, the Setup Length should coincide with one of the selectable values
on the dial, that is, 0.25m, 0.5m, 0.75m, 1m, 1.25m, 1.5m, 1.75m, 2m, 2.25m or 2.5m.
For most applications, a Setup Length as close as possible to one of these values is
adequate.
