INTRODUCTION
Multitasking self-leveling laser construction levels are used to determine the height in
construction measurements. Model NL510 / NL510G has a visible light beam (NL510 - red
beam, NL510G - green beam) and it can be used at work inside and outside the building. The
device is powered by rechargeable batteries which use advanced micro-controlled charging
technology.
NL series levels may designate a vertical or horizontal laser plane, additionally the device define
the axis of the laser plane (laser line - point up and down). The device can also "draw" a laser
line (scan function) –thanks to it it's possible to stop the beam at a given distance. NL510 /
NL510G models can be controlled from the device control panel or remotely, with remote
control.
Laser level is waterproof and can be used outdoors, even in the rain. However, these devices

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Height Measurement
Turn the power on to Level the instrument itself. Once leveled, the laser head
starts to spin, setting the laser plane. Attach the laser sensor on the laser staff.
Place a laser staff with attached sensor on a benchmark (zero point)- reset the
position of sensor (adjust the height of the sensor to define a zero level, the
laser staff should also indicate zero). Move the laser staff with sensor to another
point which height you want to measure, adjust the height of the sensor to place
it in the field of the laser beam - move it up or down on the laser staff. The
difference of sensor positions on the staff will indicate the height differences of
the measured point compared to the benchmark.
Slope determination
Set the laser level on a tripod. Set the laser level in the axis you want to tilt and
turn on the laser level. The laser plummet (bottom) indicates the first point of the
axis, on the other end point set the laser staff with laser sensor - reset position
(sensor and staff). Depending on the desired value of inclination slide the
sensor on a staff and by remote control change the inclination of the laser plane
in order to fit in the position of the laser sensor (this shift of laser sensor will
specify the inclination, eg. If you want to get a inclination of 1%, at a distance of
10 m (laser staff) the difference between the height of the zero point on the staff
should and designated inclination should be 10 cm).
Working with the vertical plane
NL510/ NL510G can set horizontal or vertical beam. If you work with a vertical laser beam
you must set the laser level as in the picture beside. After switching on the laser level the
device will level by itself –the head will start to rotate - setting a vertical plane.
The laser plummet (top) defines a line perpendicular to the plane of the laser level, which
is used in all perpendicular works (building partitions, setting 90°angle, etc.).
Remote control
Features of NL510/510G laser level can be controlled remotely using the remote control. On the
remote control panel there are buttons that correspond to those included on the front panel of
laser level. The operating range of remote control is approximately 20 meters (depends on the
conditions on the site)
The procedure for changing the transmission channel.
Changing the channel must be carried out separately on the remote control and laser level.
Changing the channel on the remote control:
• Turn the remote by on/off switch by holding it so long until you see the blinking icon
similar to the phone and will be displayed next to the channel number.
• Change the channel number by pressing + or -.
• Confirm by holding down the power button on remote control.

8
Changing the channel in laser level:
• Turn the laser level.
• Hold the X / Y for about 5 seconds. You will see the blinking icons:
antenna and channel number.
• Change the channel number using the + or - on the same as the one set
the remote control.
• Remember, holding the X / Y until turns off the channel number.
• antenna icon continue to blink.
• Then turn off the laser level and turn it on again.
• non-blinking antenna icon indicates a proper connection with the remote
NOTE:
In exceptional cases, you may experience instability working of laser level in cooperation with
the remote control. This is caused by data transmission system between the remote control and
leveling tool. The communication system is based on a radio transmitter operating on UHF. In
this range there are multiple transmission systems and their frequencies can interfere with each
other. In the case of unstable behaviour leveling change the channel on the remote control
communicates with the leveling tool.

Checking the laser level
You should regularly check the following parameters of the laser level
setting a horizontal plane
cone error
setting a vertical plane
Checking and calibration of the horizontal and vertical planes is simple and in most cases can
be done by the user. Checking the cone error can be also done by the user, but this error can
be only removed by an authorized service center.
Checking the horizontal plane
1. Set the instrument about 30m from the wall so that the X-axis is perpendicular to the
wall and X direction a pointed to a wall.
2. Turn on the instrument and wait until it level automatically.
3. Place a sheet of paper on the wall. Mark the position of the laser beam on the sheet.
Turn off the instrument.
4. Loosen the tripod fixing screw and rotate the instrument 180°.
WARNING! Be careful not to move the instrument while the head is spinning.
5. Turn on the instrument once again and wait until it level automatically.
6. Once again mark the position of the laser beam on the sheet.
7. Measure the distance between the marks, if the distance is less than 6 mm calibration
is not necessary, in other case please contact service center
8. Perform similar operations for the Y axis .
Checking the cone error
Please do this procedure after calibration of horizontal plane.
1. Set the laser centered between the walls distanced from each other of 30 m. Set the
instrument in the X or Y direction.
2. Mark the position of the laser beam on both walls.
3. Turn off the instrument and move it near to the of one of the walls (1 to 2 meters). Do not
change the orientation of the axes. Turn on the instrument.
4. Again, mark the position of the laser beam on the walls
5. Measure the distance between the marks on the walls.
6. If the difference in distance is less than 3 mm, it can be assumed that this error does not
occur.
Warning! If this error is more than 3m, you should contact the service center.
Checking the vertical plane
This procedure should be done after calibration of the horizontal plane.
1. Set the laser centered between the walls distanced from each other of 30 m
2. Turn on the laser level.
3. Place the paper sheets on the walls and mark the position of the laser beam.
4. Turn off the instrument. Set the instrument in vertical position near to one of the walls.
5. Turn on the instrument.
6. Mark the position of the laser beam on the paper sheet. Measure the distance
between the markers

10
7. Do not change the position of the laser and spin it 180°.
8. Mark the position of the laser beam on the paper sheet. Measure the distance
between the markers
9. If the distance between the markers is less than 3mm calibration is not necesery.

WPROWADZENIE
Wielozadaniowy niwelator laserowy to samopoziomujący laser budowlany, stosowany do
wyznaczania różnicy wysokości przy pomiarach budowlanych. Model NL510/510G wykorzystuje
wiązkę widzialnego światła i może być stosowany zarówno przy pracach wewnątrz budynku jak
i na zewnątrz. Urządzenie zasilane jest z akumulatorków, które wykorzystują nowoczesną
technologię mikro-kontrolowanego ładowania.
Niwelatory serii NL mogą wyznaczać pionową lub poziomą płaszczyznę laserową, dodatkowo
urządzenia wyznaczają oś płaszczyzny laserowej (laser liniowy - punkt do góry i punkt do dołu).
Za pomocą laserów możliwe jest także „rysowanie” linii laserem (funkcja skanowania) - dzięki
czemu możliwe jest zatrzymanie wiązki na danym odcinku. Model NL510/510G może być
sterowany zarówno z panela kontrolnego urządzenia jak i zdalnie, z pilota.
Niwelator jest wodoszczelny i może pracować na zewnątrz, także podczas deszczu. Jakkolwiek
urządzeń tych nie można zanurzać w wodzie
