1) Introduction
The SlopeView TLL-90 is a low cost and high accurate device for measuring surface
and single axis inclinations. It is based on the revolutionary technology called MicroElectro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), in conjunction with sophisticated software
techniques to accomplish a guaranteed accuracy of better than ±0.05º and with
measurement resolution of 0.01º in the favorable measurement range.
SlopeView TLL-90 provides not only ultra high precision measurement of angle but
also bundles with a Class2 tile laser for extending the angle projection and provides
alignment aid for the user’s work. Together with other distinguished features such as
dot matrix LCD, beeper alert and precision settings, SlopeView TLL-90 is the best
tool to make your work better and easier.

LCD Icons Representations
Battery status indication icons
These icons indicate the battery level. There are 3
levels representing empty, half and full. When the
In dual-axis mode, the LCD displays the direction
of tilt graphically. The unit of scale is displayed
below the graph with different scales. The scale is
adjusted automatically depending on the
measured angle. These icons show the available
scales.
These 2 icons show the unit of the measurement.
User can switch the measured unit to either
mm/m (mm per meter) or in degree mode. The
mm/m unit indicates how many mm/m to level. It
is calculate by:
mm/m = sin (Angle) * 1000 mm

5) Degree or mm Measurement Mode
Degree Mode:
LCD Icon:
Degree mode 360° for one circle, it will display the tilt angle relative gravity leveling.
mm/m Mode:
1 meter
LCD Icon:
Millimeter per meter mode. Place the tester in
a tilt plane.
LCD display Y (mm) for the plane is 1 M length.
For example, if you are setting a table to level.
- Table surface is 1.5M length
- Set to MM mode; place the device on the
table.
- The reading is 5mm/m on LCD
- That means Y= 5X1.5= 7.5mm difference
from leveling.
Degree and mm/m Mode Switching:
Press and hold the “HOLD” key for 3 seconds to switch between the Degree and mm
mode.

11) Laser Alignment
Laser ON/OFF:
Press and release “Laser/Set” key to switch the tile laser on or off.
Draw a laser line on wall in different angle:
1) Install the metal plate with tripod and place near
the wall
2) Tune the metal plane at vertical angle.
3) Place the TLL90 on the metal plate, the ma gnetic
base will stick the TLL90 on the metal plate.
4) Laser on; tune the position of the TLL90 to set to
your specific angle.
Draw a vertical line or horizontal line without
tripod:
1) Place the metal plate on a table
2) Place TLL90 on the metal plate with dual axis
mode
3) Tune the 2 screw and let the metal plane become
level
4) You can then laser on the TLL90 and it will project
a vertical or horizontal line to the wall within 5m.

12) Calibration
Calibrate the unit, once you found that there is accuracy drift on the unit. You can
verify the accuracy at below step:
A
A
Step 1 Step 2
At Step1, you measured X and Y value, X1 and Y1
At Step2, you measured X2 and Y2, in theory X1=-X2, Y1=-Y2.
If the error is too large, you can enter calibration mode to eliminate the error
Accuracy drift is causing by large ambient temperature change (5 to 10 Degree
Celsius) or the unit has been dropped.
