8.6 Automatic Axis Alignment
Description The automatic axis alignment electronically adjusts the axes of the Rugby to your
grade stakes. The procedure is the same as the procedure described in "3.8 Precise
Alignment of the Axes" - except that the alignment is done electronically, using the
Rod Eye 180 receiver.
For the automatic axis alignment, it is only necessary to position the laser and receiver
in line with two grade stakes and to start the procedure. The following steps are done
automatically:
• The Rugby searches for the receiver on the Y-axis until it is found and locked on
grade.
• Once found, the Rugby drives grade into the X-axis and monitors the position of
the beam on the receiver.
• The Rugby electronically compensates for any misalignment by adjusting the beam
until it is again locked on the Rod Eye 180 receiver.
• The procedure is then complete and the Rugby returns to the grades that you
entered. The laser is now properly aligned.
Step-by-Step
When one or both axes are in lock mode, a small icon appears on the display
instead of the H.I. symbol to indicate that lock mode is activated.

Step Description
1. Dial in the required grade for the X- and Y-axis (Rugby 870: X-axis only).
2. Position the Rugby at Point A in line with the Y-axis. Alternatively, the laser can
also be aligned to the X-axis.
3. Roughly align the Y-axis using the alignment marks on top of the Rugby.
Position the Rod Eye 180 Receiver also in line with the Y-axis. The height of
the receiver is not important for this procedure. Maximum range is 100 m
(300’).
4. To start the automatic alignment of the Y-axis, press the Y Button on the Rod
Eye 180 Receiver for 5 seconds.
The Rugby starts searching for the receiver. The Rod Eye 180 displays AAY (Axis
Alignment Y-axis) during the alignment procedure.
