Pipe lasers for utility construction
TRIMBLE has introduced the Spectra
Precision® DG613 and DG813 pipe
lasers, a new generation of Dialgrade®
lasers for the installation of gravity flow
pipelines.
The DG613 and DG813 are smaller
in length than their predecessors, the
DG511 and DG711. This shorter length
is a benefit when setting up the units in
manholes with precast inverts and a tight
radius. Both models have a grade range
from -12 to +40 per cent and are fully
self-levelling over the entire grade range.
The cross axis is also fully compensated,
providing quick set up and ensuring
the laser will be level without having to
manually rotate it in the invert. The new
pipe lasers have a 150m (500ft) working
range, providing a single setup to lay
pipe from one manhole to another. The
new RC803 remote control provides
full function control and utilises infrared
communications when in the pipe at a
distance of up to 150m (500ft). For ‘over-
the-top’ setups, the remote uses radio
communications at a distance of up to
130m (430ft).
Flexible power options for the pipe
lasers provide 40 hours of operation
with NiMH rechargeable batteries and
50 hours with alkaline batteries. Alkaline
batteries can be used directly in the
laser without a separate battery pack. To
recharge the NiMH batteries, a vehicle
outlet 12V charger is available.
A large LCD allows users to easily
view the display when the laser is in a
manhole. All functions are controlled
via a graphical, user-friendly menu. The
same user interface is on the RC803
remote control.
