The fiercely competitive, 21st century
construction environment has created awhole new set of business challenges. With
increasing accuracy requirements and fastercompletion times, your bids need to berazor-sharp just to compete.
As the leader in construction positioning
technology, Trimble continually provides
innovative solutions to help you gain theedge and succeed in this environment.
Among these are new solutions to help
you precisely control difficult tasks like longrange, high- accuracy elevation control andfine grading for major construction projects.

not Just another laser transMitter…
To keep you at the competitive edge, we’vecreated a revolutionary new solution built fortoday’s construction industry – the innovative
Spectra Precision® Laser GL700 Series ofgrade laser transmitters from Trimble.
The GL700 Series gives you the right laser forthe right job… from an economical, single
grade transmitter to an advanced, longrange radio remote controlled steep grade
transmitter. Further, the GL700 Series offers
the most innovative collection of features
ever available – Long Range Remote Control,
PlaneLok, Grade Matching and AutomaticAxis Alignment – to let you get to grade fasterand with more accuracy.

On site, you’ll find that the advanced features
quickly translate into productivity andaccuracy. When used with Trimble GCS300,
GCS600, or GCS900 Grade Control Systems,
the operator can control which allows anoperator to control lift and tilt automaticallyand simultaneously for improved speed andcontrolled accuracy.

And each unit comes with a laser receiverstandard, your choice of power options, andthe best service and support in the industry.
With the GL700 series, youcan count on quicker setups
and more productivity …
for more profitability.

With the GL700’s powerful, long-range
remote control option, it only takes one
person to accurately set up and operate thegrade laser. Even grade reverse is done in
an instant. And for the first time, you canautomatically control all the transmitter
functions from inside the machine cab.

lonG-ranGe radio reMote –With 2-way communication between thetransmitter and the remote, you can now
change grade on the fly… even from thecab… without approaching the transmitter!

3D Grade Control with Laser Augmentation

No more long walks up grade. By remotelychanging and reading grade information,
you can speed setup and reduce costly
communication errors.

Trimble’s innovative technology
ensures higher accuracy than everbefore over a variety of machine
control and general construction
applications. Plus, unique features help
reduce beam drift errors and speed up
setup and grade changing to optimize
worker and machine productivity.
The Spectra Precision Laser GL700
Series from Trimble has four robustmodels, so you can select the right lasertransmitter for the right application.
Each model in the GL700 Series isdesigned to be simple to set up and use.

Gl710 sinGle Grade

Gl720 dual GradeAn easy-to-learn, easy-to-use one-person
grade laser, economical and accurate up to a
900 m (3,000 ft) diameter. Ideal for general
construction, site preparation, trenchingand pipe laying applications.

This economical choice has +/-10% inthe X-axis grade range and -0.5 to +25%
Y-axis grade range with high accuracy up
to 900 m (3,000 ft) diameter. Ideal for
general construction and machine control
grade applications.

the Gl700 series can Be used With
triMBle and sPectra Precisionlaser receiVers.

Gl722 dual GradeGl742 steeP Grade laser (to 110%)With Long-range Radio Remote and withthe same range and base capabilities as
the GL720, the GL722 includes the benefitsof the full Radio Remote functions… plus
Automatic Axis Alignment capability. Idealfor general construction, site preparation
and road construction.

The GL742 includes all the features of theGL722 – including full Radio Remote – with
the increased capability of achieving asteep grade range of 110%. Ideal for all
general construction and machine control
applications, as well as steep slope applications such as highway embankments,seawalls and landfills.

For example, the Spectra Precsion Laser
HL700 and CR600 receivers, and theTrimble LR410 Machine receiver are partof the Trimble Grade Control Systemfamily.

Grade Match Mode

Automatic Axis Alignment

PlaneLok

Grade Match Mode allows you to matchthe laser to an existing slope. Simply set
your receiver at the same height as thetransmitter then after going to your remote
point, press a button on the wireless remote
to enable the transmitter to automaticallymatch and display the grade...without
returning to the laser transmitter.

Up to 150 meters (500 feet) from theTransmitter. Allows simple alignment ofeither side of any grade axis to the desired
remote point. This simple, one-person
operation lets you roughly align thetransmitter to within 40 degrees of theremote point. You can then go to yourremote point and, with a simple buttonpress on the wireless remote, the axis isautomatically aligned. The remote provides
immediate confirmation of the alignment.
Automatic Axis Alignment simplifies setup
and ensures repeatable accuracy.

For applications that require maximum
stability and accuracy, PlaneLok virtuallyeliminates beam drift by locking the laser
beam to a fixed elevation. Simply set yourhandheld receiver at the desired elevation,
select PlaneLok mode on the remotecontrol and the laser beam will remain
exactly at that elevation all day long,
regardless of wind or temperature changes.
This increased stability and accuracy means
less rework, better material control… and abetter bottom line.
