The RMLD consists of two main interactive components:
• Transceiver
• Control Module
Fig 1-3: The RMLD system consists of a Laser Emitter/Receiver and a Control
Module
The Transceiver has two lasers. The Infrared laser is non visible and is continuously on
while the unit is turned on. The operator turns on the visible green Spotter laser by
depressing the trigger button.
The RMLD operates under a variety of environmental conditions including cold or hot
weather and light rain. Its rugged design will stand up to normal field use and operating
conditions. Its sensitivity or range is not affected by reasonable amounts of dust on the
optics window.
The RMLD has built-in Self-test and Calibration functions that will assure that the
instrument is operating properly. Using the calibration cell built into the carrying case,
the operator can perform the self-test and calibration as part of a daily start up routine.
While in operation, the RMLD continuously monitors several parameters to ensure that
the instrument is functioning properly. Should any of these parameters go outside of the
operational limits, an audible alarm will sound and a Fault/Warning error message will be
displayed on the display.
A training video is provided with the instrument. It is highly recommended that the user
view the video to learn basic techniques on surveying with the RMLD.
