Frequently Asked Questions - DE0892G DEWALT

How to install the battery on the DE0892G detector?

Lift the battery compartment cover (c), insert a 9V battery respecting the indicated polarity, then close the cover.

How to adjust the detector's precision?

Press the precision button (g) to toggle between wide mode (larger tolerance) and narrow mode (increased precision). For best results, start in wide mode and finish in narrow mode.

Why won't the detector turn on?

Check that the battery is correctly installed and not depleted. If the unit is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated room. If the problem persists, replace the battery or contact a DEWALT service center.

Does the detector work with all lasers?

No, it is designed for DEWALT line lasers (models DW088, DW089, DW0811, DW0822, DW0851, etc.) and some other compatible line lasers. It should not be used with rotary lasers.

How to mount the detector on a grade rod?

Attach the clamp to the detector by sliding the rails until they lock. Open the jaws by turning the knob counterclockwise, place the rod, then tighten by turning clockwise. Use the locking knob to adjust the height.

What to do if the speaker doesn't emit any sound?

Make sure the detector is on and the laser emits a beam. Press the volume button (f) to enable the audible signal. If the problem persists, contact a DEWALT service center.

How to clean the digital laser detector?

Use a soft, non-metallic cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and grease. Do not pour water or immerse the unit. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

What is the range of the detector?

The range is 50 meters under normal conditions. This distance may vary depending on ambient brightness and the power of the laser used.

Is the detector waterproof?

It is rain resistant but should not be immersed in water. Avoid using it in heavy rain or submerging it in any liquid.

What to do in case of breakdown or malfunction?

First consult the troubleshooting section in the manual. If the problem persists, take the unit to an authorized DEWALT repair center. Do not attempt to disassemble it yourself, as this will void the warranty.

The detector gives both visual signals through the LCD display window (a) and audio signals through the speaker (b) to indicate the location of the laser beam.

The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector can be used with or without the detector clamp. When used with the clamp, the detector can be positioned on a grade rod, leveling pole, stud or post.

INTENDED USE

The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector helps in locating a laser beam emitted 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, DW089, DW0811, DW0822, DW0851 DCE088R/G; DCE089R/G; DCE0811R/G (Line) line laser and other compatible DEWALT line lasers. It is not for use with rotating lasers.

DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

The digital laser detector is a professional laser accessory.

DO NOT let children come into contact with the attachment and laser. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this laser.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Refer to the manual of the tool to be used with this attachment.

Batteries (fig. 1)

The digital laser detector is powered by a 9-volt battery. To install the battery provided, lift up on the battery compartment cover (c). Place the 9-volt battery in the compartment, aligning the battery as shown on the embossed icon.

Detector Controls (fig. 1)

The detector is controlled by the power button (e) and the volume button (f).

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 DEWALT Digital Laser Detector also has an auto shut-off feature. 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 (g) 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 (h) allow the detector to be mounted to the metal tracks during the installation of a suspended ceiling.

OPERATION

Instructions for Use

• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

- Before first use, remove and discard the protective tape from the screens.

Detector Operation (fig. 1)

1. Set up and position the laser.
2. Turn the detector on by pressing the power button (e).
3. Position the detector so that the sensor window (i) is facing the laser beam. Move the detector up or down within the approximate area of the beam, until you have centred the detector. For information about the display window indicators and the audible signal indicators, refer to the table titled Indicators.

INDICATORS

	Above Grade	Slightly Above Grade	On Grade	Slightly Below Grade	Below Grade
audible signals	fast beep	fast beep	steady tone	slow beep	slow beep

Two abstract geometric shapes: a downward-pointing triangle and a horizontal line, both without any text or symbols.

1. Use the marking notches (d) to accurately mark the position of the laser beam.

Mounting on a Grade Rod (fig. 1, 2)

1. To secure your detector to a grade rod, first attach the detector to the clamp by pushing in on the clamp latch (j). Slide the tracks (k) on the clamp around the rail (l) on the detector until the latch (m) on the clamp pops into the latch hole (n) on the detector.
2. Open the jaws of the clamp by turning the clamp knob (o) counterclockwise.
3. Position the detector at the height needed and turn the clamp knob clockwise to secure the clamp on the rod.
4. To make adjustments in height, slightly loosen the clamp, reposition and retighten.

MAINTENANCE

Your attachment has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Detector Service

Except for batteries, there are no user serviceable parts in the Digital Laser Detector. Do not disassemble the unit. Unauthorised tampering with the laser detector will void all warranties.

Detector Cleaning and Storage

- Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the detector using a cloth or soft, non-metallic brush.

• The DEWALT digital laser detector is rain resistant but not immersible. Do not pour water on the unit or submerge it under water.
• The best storage place is one that is cool and dry—away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

Detector Troubleshooting

THE DETECTOR WILL NOT TURN ON

• Press and release the power button.
• Check to see that the battery is in place and in the proper position.
• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
• Replace the 9-volt battery. Turn the unit on.
• If the detector still does not turn on, take the detector to a DEWALT service centre.

THE DETECTOR'S SPEAKER MAKES NO SOUND

• Ensure that the detector is on.
• Press the volume button. It will toggle on and off.
• Ensure that the laser is turned on and that it is emitting a laser beam.
• If the detector is still not making any sound, take it to a DEWALT service centre.

THE DETECTOR DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE BEAM FROM ANOTHER LASER UNIT

- The DEWALT Digital Laser Detector has been designed to work only with the DW088, DW089, DW0811, DW0822, DW0851 DCE088R/G; DCE089R/G; DCE0811R/G (Line) and certain other compatible line lasers.

THE DETECTOR GIVES OFF A TONE BUT THE LCD DISPLAY WINDOW DOES NOT FUNCTION

• If the detector is very cold, allow it to warm up in a heated area.
• If the LCD display window is still not functioning, take the detector to a DEWALT service centre.

BRIGHT LIGHT SHINING ON DETECTOR CAUSES CONTINUOUS "ON-GRADE" SIGNAL

- In the presence of very intense ambient light, the detector may give a false or erratic indication of level.

- Reposition the detector out of the intense light or shade the sensor window (i) to resume normal operation.
