2. Operation
• Elevation Reading
If you are working in feet/inches/16ths, the procedure is the same as
the example below.
Press ON/Off to turn
SmartRod on. All LCD
symbols will come on
momentarily, followed
by a "ready screen."
Press again to take a
measurement.
The display indicates it's
waiting to receive a
laser signal.
• For your convenience you may extend the bottom section
so the control panel is eye level: twist left to unlock,
then raise, and twist right to lock. Extend the other rod
elements until the reception window is at the correct height to
catch the laser beam. The beam only has to touch some part
of the window; it does not need to be in the center.
• As soon as a short beep indicates that the receiver sees the
laser beam, immediately stop raising or lowering the
reception window.
One or two seconds later,
a double-beep confirms
the measurement.
If the rotating laser doesn't hit the SmartRod reception field within
30 seconds, the reception field will switch off, and a blank screen will
appear where you had been seeing the 4 lines.
Press another time to try again to catch the beam.
Press and hold ON/Off for two seconds to turn
SmartRod off. Or, proceed to Cut-and-Fill mode.

measurement moves to
the top line.

The difference between it and the first reference point
