GENERAL DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: YOUR PLS SLD DETECTOR IS DESIGNED
FOR USE WITH YOUR PLS PULSED LASER. THE PLS
SLD IS UNIQUE TO PLS LASER TOOLS. IT CANNOT BE
USED WITH A ROTARY LASER.
Please read the operating manual for your PLS pulsed tool.
They must be in the “exterior” mode to transmit to your PLS
SLD laser detector.
Liquid Crystal display (LCD’s) on the front and rear are
included for easy visual indications of grade information and
detector settings. A beeper also emits an adjustable audible
tone that indicates on-grade, high or low. Accuracy levels
are user selectable to meet various job requirements.
The detector has been specifically designed for use in con-
struction environments. Impact resistant housings, recessed
windows, water resistant design, durable battery contacts,
and an audible beeper are incorporated into every detector.
A general purpose clamp is included and designed to
capture horizontal or vertical reference using various
grade rods and staffs.
NOTE: For maximum detector range, make sure the laser
transmitter has fresh batteries.
Extreme temperatures may affect the maximum detection
range.

1.Power Switch - press once to turn ON. Unit beeps and LCD’s turn
on to confirm power is on. Press again to turn off. Unit automatically
turns off after five minutes of non-use.
2.Accuracy Switch - select detection accuracy. Pressing switch cycles
through accuracy options.
3.Beeper Switch - pressing switch cycles OFF, and ON.
4.Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) - LCD indicates the detectors position
relative to the laser beams and other detector settings.
5.On-Grade Mark - aligned with the laser on-grade reading and
vertical marking notch. Mark located close to the photocells for error
free marking.
6.Laser Reception Window - photocells are located behind the window
which detect the laser signal. Window must be directed toward laser.
7.Beeper Output - 3 distinct audible signals.
• Fast signal: Detector too Low.
• Solid signal: On-Grade
• Slow signal: Detector too High

instrument case to transport the detector.
Storage: If the detector will not be used for a month or
more, it is recommended to remove the battery.
Batteries: It is recommended to use only high quality alka-
line batteries.
Intended Uses of Detector: The PLS SLD laser detector is
designed and suitable only for detecting a laser beam from
PLS pulsed lasers.
Prohibited Uses:
- Operation without instructions.
- Operation other than the intended uses.
- Opening the detector, except the battery compartment.
- Modification or conversion of the detector.
Precautions:
- The person in charge of the detector must understand the
instructions in this manual and ensure other users do also.
- Periodically carry out test measurements, particularly after
the detector has been subjected to abnormal use and before
and after important measurements.
