The RMLD-IS consists of two main interactive components:
• Transceiver
• Control Module
Fig. 1-3: Laser Emitter/Receiver and 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-IS 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-IS 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 startup routine.
While in operation, the RMLD-IS 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-IS.
