NOTE: Before attempting to use your level, familiarize yourself with all of the operating features and safety requirements.

This digital level is a highly versatile leveling tool designed for fast, easy operation. Heavy-duty, lightweight aluminum construction, with the LCD digital module constructed of unbreakable ABS polymer that’s sealed against dirt and water, and the toughest acrylic block bubble vials and solid-state laser components all add up to on-

the-job durability and long, dependable service. Use the digital LCD readout for all your angle measurements and layout jobs, such as roof pitches, saw cut angles and drain-

age slopes. Use the laser beam to extend a visual leveling line over distances much greater than a traditional bubble vial beam level. Use the level manually, hand held, or mounted on a tripod (sold separately). Use the digital level inside or outside to measure pitch in inches of rise per foot of run. Measure in degrees with up to 0.05° accuracy. Measure any slope in percent...measure level and plumb with either the LCD digital display or with the vertical and horizontal bubble vials.

Battery installation (Fig. 2)

This multi-function digital laser level uses two “AAA” batteries (sold separately), to power both the LCD module display

and the Laser dot.

Fig.2

NOTE: Always ensure the on/off button is in OFF position before installing or replacing the batteries.

Open the battery cover, located in the middle of the back of the level (Fig.2).

Insert two new “AAA” alkaline batteries with the polarity (+/-) as indicated on the inside of the battery compartment.

2. Close the cover securely in place.

Turn on the LCD display

Press the Power button to turn the LCD display screen on. When the screen rst comes on, the temperature is displayed

in centigrade for about 2 seconds, to indicate if level is being used in optimum operating temperature range. The current angle of the level is then displayed, and a picture of that angle is shown either above or below the line for true level. An arrow on the display indicates if the level has to be moved up or down. True level is reached when the two lines are together and the angle shows 0.00°. Turn off the LCD display by pressing and holding the button in for about 2 seconds. If the digital level is not used for 5 minutes the level automatically turns off. The LCD display is large and easy to read. When the level is turned upside down, the LCD screen senses and changes to read correctly in the inverted position.

Calibration (Figs.3,4)

Place the digital level on a at and smooth surface, push and hold the REF button for about 3 seconds, the calibration mode is activated. “CAL1” will wink on LCD. Keep it unmoved for seconds until hear the beeper sounds for 1 second, then “CAL2” will show on LCD. Rotate the level 180º in the same location then press the REF button, “CAL2” will wink, keep it unmoved for seconds, then

the beeper will sound for 2 seconds to tell calibrating completed, the LCD will show the current angle in high-accuracy-display.

Fig.3 Fig.4

Important NOTE:

The digital level has been pre-calibrated to high-accuracy-display mode. It possibly runs to rough-accuracy-display

• mode if the temperature changes too much. Suggest calibrating the digital level every time before you use it. To ensure an accurate measurement, the calibration should be performed separately for horizontal measurement,

• plumb measurement or upside measurement.

The calibration must be performed on a at and smooth surface with the gradient no more than 5º. If it exceeds 5º, the

•

beeper will be buzzing for 3 seconds, “Err” will show on the LCD to tell the calibration failed, then exits automatically.

In the calibration, the level also can not be beveled or moved, same Err will occur with the wrong operation.

•

After CAL1 is nished, the level should be rotated 180 degree to start CAL2, if keep the level not moved and start

• CAL2, the digital display will wrongly set the current working surface as 0°, it will recover to normal function after a correct calibration.

The high accuracy display is only available when the display unit switches to degree or % and the gradient must be

• within 1º. If the gradient exceeds 1º, LCD will recover to rough accuracy display.

Measurements

Horizontal and Plumb measurements can use both the bubble vial and the LCD readout features.

Horizontal measurements (Fig.5)

Use the level on horizontal surfaces to true them up. The level’s bubble vials will show when you have the surface level. The bubbles will be exactly in between the marks on the vial. Once the Power button is turned on, lay the level on the surface you want to level. The LCD display will show the surface you are measuring as a line either above or below the true level line, and the degree to which the surface is off, with an arrow showing whether the surface should be raised or lowered in order to be leveled.

Fig.5

The LCD display also gives the degree to which the surface is off. To level, move the surface with the level on it until the two lines on the readout match and the readout says 0.00° for the angle. If the beeper is activated, the beeper will sound when the level is at level.

Vertical measurements (Fig.6)

To nd the plumb of a work surface, lay the digital level against the vertical surface, with the plumb bubble

vial at the top. The surface will be at true plumb when the bubble is positioned exactly between the marks on the vial. The LCD display shows the surface with the level on it as a line, and true plumb as another line either to the left or right of the line for plumb, and the degree to with the surface is off, with an arrow showing whether to

move the surface to the left or right. If the beeper button is on, the level will beep when true plumb or 90.00°

is reached.

MEASUREMENT FOUNDATION

Pitch (Fig.7)

The digital level can be used to measure the pitch of a roof. It measures the pitch in inches of rise per foot of run. Push the conversion button to change angle to pitch. The

pitch will be read as inches per foot in 1/8-in. increments, with a + or a - sign to indicate

if the pitch is above or below the desired measurement.

Angle (Fig.8)

The digital level measures any angle in degrees with up to 0.1° accuracy, at level or

plumb position, the accuracy will be up to 0.05°. This can be used to nd the necessary

angle for many surfaces, and when the conversion button is pushed to display angle, will tell you the angle and which way it is off of true level. If the beeper button is turned on, the level will beep at 0.00° angle.

Slope (Fig.9)

The digital level measures the slope of a surface in percent. This is useful when laying pipe for proper drainage. When the conversion button is in the slope mode, it will

display the surface being measured in percent, with exact level at 0.00%. If the beeper button is turned on, the level will beep at 0.00%.

Laser alignment (Fig.10)

This digital level contains a laser diode located inside the left endcap of the level. It provides a bright 635-665 nanometer beam with a useful visibility that extends up to 50m indoors or outdoors (This range is only applicable at night or dark environment.)

To activate the laser dot, press in the Laser ON/OFF button located

• on the right endcap of the level The center of the laser beam is 30mm above the bottom (working)

• surface of the level. Remember to account for this when doing layouts and taking mea-

• surements.

Level the work surface, and the laser will project the level up to 50m

• away to enable you to level large areas.

The laser projects a round dot on the targeted surface. The dot size

• and shape may change slightly with distance, temperature or target surface material. The point to use is the center of the dot pattern.

Operation with tripod (Figs.11,12 and 13)

This level can be used with a tripod to project a beam for up to 50m away. This feature is perfect for home improvement projects such as aligning pictures, chair rails and other wall xtures, plumbing runs, and many other uses.

Adjust the tripod to true level, using the bubble vial on the base of the tripod.

•

Screw the level to the tripod using the 1/4-in. threaded hole located in the center of the working surface of the level

• (see Fig. 11).

Adjust the height of the laser line you want to project.

• Make any nal adjustments to tripod and level to nd the true level point. This will be

• at 0.00° on the LCD display screen and, if activated, the beeper will beep.
