1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the GL1425C dual grade laser from the family of Spectra

Precision professional lasers. The GL1425C is an easy-to-use self-leveling laser that

oers accurate horizontal, grade and vertical laser reference using a receiver.

2 Safety Instructions

For hazardless and safe operation, read all the user guide instructions.

Caution: Use of other than the described user and calibration tools or other

procedures may result in exposure to hazardous laser light.

Caution: Using the laser dierent than described in the GL1425C user guide may

result in unsafe operation.

Note: Any local or national laws and regulations for the use of machines or products

described in this document have to be followed.

Note: Reections from some surfaces like windows or at metal surfaces can lead to

wrong receiver readings.

Note: After storage or transportation let the product acclimate to the ambient

temperature before use of high accurate measurements.

Warning: NiMH batteries or alkaline batteries shipped with the product may contain

small amounts of harmful substances.

Do not open the battery, dispose of in re or short circuit; it may ignite,

explode, leak or get hot causing personal injury.

Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.

Keep the batteries away from children, If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.

Seek medical attention immediately.

Charge only with specied chargers according to device manufacturer’s

instructions.

Charge the batteries only within the specic temperature range (see

chapter 30.1)

Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the rst time and after not

using it for an extended length of time.

Do not open the rechargeable batteries cage.

3 Product

3.1 General description

The laser ships with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack. Alkaline batteries can be used

as a backup to power the laser on the jobsite.

The rechargeable NiMH battery pack can only be inserted one way and can be charged

inside or outside the unit.

Note: Charging the rechargeable NiMH battery pack beyond the temperature

mentioned in the technical specications may lead to decreased battery lifetime or

undercharged batteries.

3.4 Batteries

3.4.1 Installing batteries

Open the battery door. Insert the rechargeable battery

pack or alkaline batteries into the housing. If using

alkaline, install per the “+” and “–“ symbols noted in the

battery compartment.

Note: DO NOT REMOVE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

FROM THEIR CAGE AND INSTALL ALKALINE

BATTERIES. SEVER DAMAGE TO THE UNIT WILL

RESULT IF CHARGING IS ATTEMPTED.

Close the battery door.

3.4.2 Battery indication

WHY: Displays the battery status prior to starting work on the job site.

WHAT: The battery indication shows the remaining battery capacity for the rechargeable

or alkaline batteries. Actual capacity depends on battery brand, environmental factors,

age, and recharge cycles.

HOW: When the laser battery LED (b) is o, the battery capacity is good. Blinking once

every second indicates the batteries are weak and remaining operating time is limited.

The batteries should be charged. A quickly ashing battery LED indicates the batteries

are empty and remaining battery capacity of 5 minutes. Times may vary depending on

environmental factors.

On the RC1402 or on the laser on the standard display press the E button (j). The

battery symbol will appear and is shown on the screen for app. 5 seconds. The symbol

represents relative battery capacity: Empty, almost empty, good, and full. (pic 1)

Pic 1: battery symbols

3.4.3 Recharging the batteries

It typically requires less than ten hours to fully charge empty rechargeable batteries.

For charging, connect the plug of the charger to the recharge jack of the battery pack.

Plug the charger into the appropriate outlet. The battery pack can be charged in or out

of the laser.

New or long-time out-of-use rechargeable batteries reach their best performance after

being charged and recharged ve times. For indoor applications, the charger can be

used as a power supply for the laser.

3.4.4 LED indication on the charger

Green LED ashes: charging in progress

Green LED permanent on: charging has stopped

Red LED permanent on: Error (batteries too cold or too warm, battery failure etc.)

Note: The batteries should only be charged when the temperature is between 41°F and

104°F (5°C to 40°C). Charging at temperature other than specied may give an error

indication.

Note: The charger has a security timer. The maximum charging time is twelve hours.

After twelve hours, the charger will always stop the charging process, independently

from the charging status of the batteries.

Note: The batteries can be charged during use.
