Page 11
©2018 Johnson Level & Tool - Rev. 1 11
Notes:
When starting the unit in vertical mode, the laser will not begin rotation automatically. It will emit a plumb-down beam that you can use for reference to align the laser. After self-leveling is complete, press to begin rotation.
Low speed rotation is recommended for indoor use, since it improves visibility of the beam.
High speed rotation is recommended for outdoor use or for use with the detector, since the faster speed improves the detection frequency.
Using the Tilt Indicator
The tilt indicator is enabled by default at startup. After powering on
the laser level, the laser beam will begin rotating and the tilt indicator LED will begin flashing, indicating that the unit is beginning its 30-second initialization sequence. If the unit is moved during this time, the laser beam will stop rotating, re-level, and begin to rotate again. This allows 30 seconds for any final adjustments. After the 30 second period, the tilt indicator LED will stop flashing and become solid. If the laser is moved while the tilt mode LED is solid, the laser beam will stop rotating and begin to flash. The tilt indicator LED will blink rapidly, alerting the user that the height of the instrument may have been changed. Press on the laser level or press on the remote control to reinitiate the 30-second self-leveling sequence.
The tilt indicator can be disabled by pressing at any time until
the tilt indicator LED turns off.

Setting Fine/Coarse Accuracy
Setting a fine accuracy setting establishes a more exact measurement,
and a coarser accuracy allows for a faster grade location. Coarse accuracy is more commonly used outdoors, in bright ambient lighting, or at rougher stages of construction such as general excavation.
1. Press to change the accuracy from fine (0.04), to medium (0.2), to coarse (0.35).
Detecting Rotary Laser Level Signals Notes:
To detect laser signals, be sure that nothing is blocking the detecting window and that the detecting window is facing the laser level. If the detecting window is unable to detect the laser beam, it will display “OUT” at the top left of both the front and back LCD displays.
Always hold the detector stable while it is in use.
When detecting a horizontal laser signal, be sure that the horizontal bubble vial is centered, as the deflection of the receiver will influence its receiving accuracy. Similarly, when detecting a vertical laser signal, be sure that the vertical bubble vial is centered.
1. Set the detector on a level surface, attach it to a tripod using the 1/4″-20 tripod screw thread, or use the detector’s magnets to attach
it to a surface. Make sure that the detecting window is facing the operating laser level.
2. When the laser level’s beam intersects the detecting window, the front and back LCD displays will guide the user to the zero/on grade point. Either the up or down indicator LED will illuminate in red,
2810i-Color_Manuals 5/2/18 2:16 PM Page 19
Page 20
20 ©2018 Johnson Level & Tool - Rev. 1
either an up or down arrow will appear at the left of both the front and back LCD displays, and the measurement at the top of the front and back LCD displays tells the user how far the detector is from being on grade. A + symbol to the left of the measurement indicates that the detector is above the zero point, whereas a – symbol indicates it is below the zero point.
3. Follow the detector’s prompts until the detector is on grade. When it is on grade, the zero indicator LED will illuminate in green, the up/down arrow at the left of the LCD display will disappear, and a thick dash will appear at the left of the front and back LCD displays.
Detecting Rotary Laser Level Signals in Tracking Mode
When the detector is in tracking mode, the rotary laser level will
sweep the laser beam back and forth until it intersects the zero point of the detector. This mode is most commonly used for layout work including exterior and interior walls and for aligning posts, piers and footings.
Note: In order to properly function, your laser and detector must be
operating on the same wireless communication channel, and this channel should be different than the channel used for other laser/detector pairs operating nearby.
To Configure the Laser Communication Channel:
1. With the laser powered “on” and tilt mode off (red tilt mode LED not illuminated), simultaneously press and , and hold until the red remote control LED begins to flash.
2. The number of flashes corresponds to the channel settling for the laser. 1 flash indicates channel 1, 2 flashes indicate channel 2, and so on up to a total of 9 flashes for channel 9. This LED will continue to flash until the values are stored into memory.
2810i-Color_Manuals 5/2/18 2:16 PM Page 20
Page 21
©2018 Johnson Level & Tool - Rev. 1 21
3. A single press of advances to the next sequential channel.
4. The channel setting is stored in memory by simultaneously pressing and . The red remote control LED will illuminate solidly.
To Configure the Detector Communication Channel:
1. Power on the detector.
2.
Enable tracking mode by holding until the blue LED illuminates.
3. Change channels by pressing and simultaneously. Repeat
until the desired channel is reached, as indicated by “CH” and a numeral on the LCD.
To Detect Signals in Tracking Mode:
1. Press and hold on the detector. The detector LED will illuminate
in blue, the remote signal will appear on the bottom of both the front and back LCD displays, and the rotary laser level will begin to emit double beeps. The laser beam will slowly sweep back and forth within a 10° arc until it intersects the detector’s zero/on grade point in Y-axis mode.
2. To switch tracking mode to the X-axis, press . The laser beam
will again sweep back and forth until it intersects the detector’s zero/on grade point.
3. Once the laser beam intersects the zero/on grade point, the zero
indicator LED on the detector will illuminate in green, and the up/down arrow at the left of the LCD display will disappear. The on­grade indicator will appear on the front and back LCD displays, and the laser beam will stop moving.
4. The laser beam will now be fixed on grade and will not move if the
detector’s position is changed.

Page 22
22 ©2018 Johnson Level & Tool - Rev. 1
Setting a Temporary Zero Point
This function allows the user to establish a new zero point, which the
detector will consider to be on grade. It is a temporary setting; once the detector is powered off and back on, the default zero point will again be considered on grade.
1. When the laser level’s beam intersects the detecting window, move the detector until the point you wish to define as the temporary zero point meets the laser beam.
2. Press on the detector to establish the temporary zero point.
3. To return to the default zero point, power off and on the detector.
4. The zero point adjustment range is limited to +/- 0.75(20mm).

10. Accuracy Check
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the user to verify the
calibration of the instrument before each use. Accuracy check should be done indoors with dim lighting. It is critical that the laser beam is clearly visible. If the accuracy check determines that the laser level is out of calibration, the unit must be calibrated by an authorized Johnson®service center. A list of service centers can be found at www.johnsonlevel.com or by calling Johnson Level & Tool’s Customer Service Department. In the U.S., call 888-9-LEVELS. In Canada, call 800-346-6682.
1. Note the X- and Y-axis direction as indicated on the top of the laser level.
2. Place the laser level on a platform or attach to a tripod that is at least 25away from a wall, with the laser positioned so that the
X-axis direction is facing the wall. A 50distance is preferred.
3. Press on the laser level to power it on.
4. Once the laser level finishes its self-leveling sequence, mark where the top edge of the beam hits the wall as Point Ax.
5. Rotate the instrument 180° without changing the height of the laser level. The rotating beam will temporarily stop rotating while the instrument self-levels.
6. Once the laser beam resumes its rotation, mark where the top edge of the beam hits the wall as Point Bx. This point should be in the same vertical plane as Point Ax (directly above, below, or on top of Point Ax).
7. Mark the center point between Point Ax and Point Bx as Point 0x.
2810i-Color_Manuals 5/2/18 2:21 PM Page 29
Page 30
30 ©2018 Johnson Level & Tool - Rev. 1
8. If the distance between Point Ax and Point Bx is more than 3/32 @ 50, the unit is out of calibration along the X-axis. If this distance is less than 3/32@ 50, the unit is properly calibrated
along the X-axis and you should proceed to checking the Y-axis calibration.
9. Turn the instrument by 90° with the Y-axis direction facing the wall. The rotating beam will temporarily stop rotating while the instrument self-levels.
10.Check the Y-axis accuracy using the same method as for the X-axis, marking Point Ay and Point By.
11.If the distance between Y points is more than 3/32@ 50, the laser is out of calibration along the Y-axis. If this distance is less
than 3/32@ 50, then the unit is properly calibrated along the Y-axis.
