DIGITAL LASER DETECTOR: DE0892 (FIG. 9)
Some laser kits include a D WALT Digital Laser Detector. The
E
D WALT Digital Laser Detector helps in locating a laser beam emitted
E
by the laser in bright light conditions or over long distances. The
detector can be used in both indoor and outdoor situations where it
is difficult to see the laser beam.
The detector is designed exclusively for use with the DW088 and the
DW089 line lasers and other compatible D
for use with rotating lasers.
The detector gives both visual signals through the LCD display
window (M) and audio signals through the speaker (N) to indicate the
location of the laser beam.
The D WALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without the
E
detector clamp. When used with the clamp, the detector can be
positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud or post.

Batteries (fig. 9)
The digital laser detector is powered by a 9-volt battery. To install
the battery provided, lift up on the battery compartment cover (O).
Place the 9-volt battery in the compartment, aligning the battery as
shown on the embossed icon.
Detector Controls (fig. 9)
The detector is controlled by the power button (Q) and the volume
button (R).
When the power button is pushed once, the detector is turned on.
The top of the sensor window shows the ON icon and the volume
icon.
The D WALT Digital Laser Detector also has an auto shut-off feature.
E
If a laser beam does not strike the beam detection window, or if no
buttons are pressed, the detector will shut itself off in about 5 minutes.
To turn off the audible signal push the button again; the volume icon
will disappear.
The detector powers up in the narrow accuracy setting (icon appears
in the lower left corner). Press the accuracy button (S) once to change
to wide accuracy setting (icon now appears in the lower right corner).
Accuracy
The detector provides two accuracy settings, wide and narrow. In the
wide setting, the detector provides a larger tolerance for indicating
that the detector is "on grade". In the narrow setting, this tolerance is
reduced for more accurate indication of "on grade".
For the most accurate results, start the work using the wide setting
and finish in the narrow setting.
Magnets
The magnets (T) allow the detector to be mounted to the metal tracks
during the installation of a suspended ceiling.
