2. Getting started
2.1 Power Supply
The R280 can only be powere using a Type BT 800071 re-chargeable cell. A completely
charge cell will provi e enough energy for aroun 8 hours usage. A ischarge cell can
be recharge in approximately 1,5 hours using the external charger (BT 800072) . Constant
operation is possible if a secon cell is available (optional extra).
The battery pack (III) can be accesse by opening the rear cover (I) . To open the cover,
simply pull, using the two in entations(II), the cover is hel in place with a magnet.
The battery is place in the housing with the contacts
pointing to the mi le of the sensor. The battery is place
correctly when the rear cover closes without any resi-
stance. Due to the shape of the housing it is normally
possible to fit the cell incorrectly.

A apter BG 831510

When fitting the A apter to the un ersi e of the sensor, the locating owel (IX) an the
rilling (VI) ensure correct positioning of the sensor . When fitting the A apter to the
above si e, the locating owel has to be remove (M3 Allen Screw).
The BG 831510 A apter facilitates rotation of the sensor in the Axis an is play-free, enab-
ling accurate measurements.
Alternatively, the A apter BG 831550 (X) can be mounte to the sensor enabling use of the
M8 measuring a apter (BT 948336) (XI). The measuring a apter (XI) is fitte into the recess
in the A apter (X) an secure with the knurle screw (XIII). The asymmetrical groove on
the M8 A apter guarantees a constant an repeatable fitting of the sensor an thus, sen-
sor height.
The measurement a apter (XI) with its 8mm threa (XII) on the un ersi e can be fitte to
the larger switcheable magnet (BT 943092) or irectly screwe into existing or purpose
cut threa s on machine or other objects. The permanent fitting of the a apter allows peri-
o ic or constant measurements on machines or buil ings for example, whereby the sen-
sor oes not have to stay in place if perio ic an not constant measuring is require .
To rotate the R280 in the laser axis when using the BG 831550 (X) A apter, simply loosen
the knurle screw (XIII), rotate as wishe an then re-tighten the knurle screw.
Remember, the R280 shoul always face the T330 in an orthogonal fashion.
