BULLSEYE® 3+ Laser Receiver System Description The Apache BULLSEYE 3+ laser receiver is a rugged, multipurpose, easy-to-use electronic sensor that detects laser light generated by rotating laser transmitters. The receiver is designed to work with nearly all makes and models of rotating lasers and will detect both visible and invisible beams. When installed, the operator is given visual indication of the reference plane of laser light’s position relative to the cutting edge of the machine.
Controls and Displays 1. Aluminum cast upper and lower housing - strong and durable. 2. Polycarbonate center section - houses the electronics and four sets of photocells spaced at 90° to allow 360° reception. 3. LED Display - highly visible using super-bright diodes display grade position. Green diodes display on-grade and red diodes display high and low. 4. Touch Panel - contains power, deadband, and LED brightness switches. Also displays low battery warning and deadband selection.
Battery Installation / Charging Battery Installation: Remove the BULLSEYE from its carrying case. Hold the unit so the accessory connector is pointing upwards. Remove the dust cap from the accessory connector. Loosen the two thumb screws and remove the battery access cover. Install four batteries as shown on the label diagram inside the battery compartment noting the (+) and (-) terminals. Battery installation diagram / Serial number label Replace the battery access cover.
Battery Installation / Charging Built-in overcharging protection prevents damage if the unit is left on charge after being fully charged. There is also protection to prevent charging alkaline batteries. CAUTION: Do not attempt to charge alkaline or other disposable batteries. NOTE: Do not charge Ni-MH batteries when ambient temperature exceeds 113° F (45° C) or is less than 32° F (0° C).
Operation Touch Panel Power Switch Deadband Indicators Low Battery Indicator Unmarked Switch Unmarked Switch Display Brightness Switch Deadband Selection Switch To turn the BULLSEYE 3+ on, press the power switch on the touch panel and release. All the LED's will come on for a few seconds. Each LED grade display row will turn on then turn off from top to bottom. Then each status indicator will tun on and off. The current deadband status will momentarily display.
Operation Deadband (Accuracy) Selection. The deadband, or on-grade accuracy, can be changed to meet various job conditions. To identify which mode is selected, press the deadband selection switch once. The current selection LED is activated. To change the deadband, press the deadband selection switch again when the deadband LED is activated. The deadband and corresponding LED will change with each press. Fine Deadband ~ 3/16" (0.20"/5mm) Standard Deadband ~ 1/2" (0.45"/12mm) Wide Deadband 1-1/4" (1.
Operation Grade Display. The LED grade display indicates when the machine's cutting edge needs adjusting or is on-grade. The display will indicate with directional arrows which way to move the cutting edge or bucket to achieve desired grade. Five distinct channels are displayed. High Lower Implement Fine High Lower Implement On-Grade (Green LED's) Fine Low Raise Implement Low Raise Implement Low Battery Warning. The receiver has a low battery warning LED that is used when batteries are installed.
Operation Out of Beam Indication. The receiver has an Out Of Beam (OOB) indication that can be turned on or off. When it is on, the LED display will indicate if the receiver has moved beyond the vertical laser reception range. A sequence of LED's will indicate which direction to move the blade or cutting edge to pick up the laser beam. The sequence will indicate to move the edge down if it is raised above the beam or to move the edge up if it is lowered below the beam.
Operation + Out Of Level Warning. The Out of Level (OOL) Warning is used with certain lasers that have the ability to indicate they are out of level by changing their rotation speed. The factory default setting is Laser Out of Level Warning off. To activate the laser OOL Warning, turn the receiver on. Press and hold the power switch and then press and release the brightness switch. A flashing "X" pattern indicates if the OOL Warning is activated. If the center green LED is not lit, the OOL Warning is off.
Operation Laser Beam Averaging. The laser beam averaging function senses the laser strikes and applies the + highest level of averaging appropriate for the laser rotation speed. This may stabilize the LED display if the laser set-up is unstable due to windy conditions or long range applications. The factory default setting is Laser Beam Averaging on. The receiver can be set for no averaging. In this mode the receiver processes and displays every single laser strike.
Installation Position the blade or bucket to the desired elevation (benchmark). If using on and excavator or backhoe, the dipperstick should be vertical and the bucket “curled” or extended to a position that can be easily duplicated each time a reading is taken. To check that the plane of laser light is intersecting the pipe where the receiver will be mounted, move the receiver up and down along the length of the mounting pipe.
