Using the Smart Target

Smart Targeting step-by-step using the Rod Eye 180

Using the Smart Target feature you can match an existing grade. The Rugby moves to the new grade position, displays the grade found and begins self-levelling to maintain the grade over time. Maximum range is 100 m (300’).

Step Description
1 Set up the Rugby 870/880 at the base of a slope with no grade dialled into the Rugby and with the X-axis pointing in the direction of the slope.
2 Adjust the height of the receiver on the rod at the base of the slope until the on-grade (centreline) position is indicated on the receiver by:
  • the centre bar
  • the green flashing LED
  • a solid audio tone
  • the digital display
3 Move the rod with the receiver to the top of the slope. To start the Smart Targeting process press the laser man button for 1.5 seconds. The receiver shows SMT, then XSC for X-axis slope catching.
  The Rugby 870/880 searches for the receiver until the on-grade position is found. Once the on-grade position is found, the receiver flashes all three LEDs simultaneously one time and the receiver returns to normal operation.
4 After this signal, the receiver can be moved and used as normal. The grade for the sloped axis is displayed on the LCD and the Rugby now self-levels to this new slope.
  To use Smart Targeting for the Y-axis, press the Y Button together with the Laser Man Button for 1.5 seconds until the receiver shows YSC for Y-axis slope catching.
  Using this procedure, you can set up either one or both axes.

 

Smart Target Lock step-by-step using the Rod Eye 180

Using the Smart Target Lock feature, you can match an existing grade. The Rugby moves to the new grade position, displays the grade found and begins self-levelling to maintain the grade over time. Maximum range is 100 m (300’).

Pressing and holding the Laser Man Button for 5 seconds rather than 1.5 seconds starts the Rod Eye 180 in lock mode. The Rod Eye 180 must remain in place to monitor any movements of the rotating beam. Thus, an accurate grade setup is maintained.

Accuracy Adjustment

Step Description
1 Ensure that the grade value is set to zero. Set up the Rugby 870/880 at the base of a slope with the X-axis pointing in the direction of the slope.
2 At the base of the slope, adjust the height of the Rod Eye 180 receiver on the rod until the on-grade (centreline) position is indicated on the receiver by:
  • the centre bar
  • the green flashing LED
  • a solid audio tone
  • the digital display
3 Move to the top of the slope and press the Laser Man Button for 5 seconds to start the smart target and lock process. The receiver shows SMT, then XSL during the X-axis slope catching and lock process.
  The Rugby 870/880 searches for the receiver until the on-grade position is found. Once the on-grade position is found, the receiver flashes all three LEDs simultaneously one time. The display shows LOC while the receiver is in lock mode.
4 After this signal, the receiver must remain in place to monitor any movements of the rotating beam. The grade for the sloped axis is displayed on the LCD display of the Rugby.
  To use Smart Target Lock for the Y-axis, press the Y Button together with the Laser Man Button for 5 seconds until the receiver shows YSC, then YSL during the Y-axis slope catching and lock process.
  To turn off lock mode on the receiver, hold the Power Button for 1.5 seconds.
  Using this procedure, you can monitor either one or both axes.
  To lock and monitor the rotating beam of an existing grade, mount the receiver in the plane of the laser before starting the Smart Target Lock procedure.
  When one or both axes are in lock mode, a small icon appears on the display instead of the H.I. symbol to indicate that lock mode is activated.
