Introduction
VISION 2N
... for the construction professional.
The rotation laser THEIS VISION 2N AGRICULTURE sets new
standards in the area of fully automated professional lasers.
It is the result of many years of experience and innovative
technology.
The high-quality construction laser is distinguished by its rugged-
ness and high precision –Made in Germany –and no construction
site should do without it.
To ensure that your device is always ready for use, observe the
following information:
1. Never store the device in the container when it is wet.
2. Check the precision every time before you use the equipment,
since we can accept no liability for misalignment.
3. Observe the information on handling the battery.
4. Treat carefully the laser exit and sensor windows of the optional
detector.

Horizontal Operation
2.
Align the tripod and screw the VISION tight using the
tripod screw. The precision of alignment affects the size
of the slope range. Use the On/Off switch to switch on
the device.
The levelling indicator flashes on the lit display.
If the tripod head is sloping by more than 5°, this is
indicated by the laser beam flashing quickly and the
alarm symbol being displayed.
In this case, switch off the unit and align the tripod more
carefully.
Once horizontal levelling is completed, the laser beam
starts to rotate.
Rotation speed
3.
The rotation speed can be regulated in four stages: 0,
300, 600 and 1000 RPM. Pressing the rotation key
three times the laser stops (0 RPM). Each time you
press the key again, the rotation speed increases.
At a standstill, you can move the laser dot using the
counterclockwise/clockwise rotation keys. Pressing and
holding down one of the keys speeds up the movement
of the laser dot.
Slope
4.
Alignment of the tripod head as to be as accurate as
possible, to guarantee an easier targeting and to use
the complete slope range of the laser of ±15% in both
axes.
The AUTOSLOPE function monitors the slope and
carries out adjustment automatically if necessary.
To do this, first align the laser exactly to the target point
and then enter the slope settings as follows:

6
1st key press: Slope is activated. The stored slope
settings of the last use are displayed and the
automatically approached.
2nd key press: X, slope symbol and one digit flashes
on the display.
Use the arrow keys to set the slope. The blinking digit
can be changed.
To select the digits you must press the counterclock-
wise/clockwise rotation keys. For changing the sign
use the ± button. Plus is not displayed.
When you press and hold the arrow - keys the values
in the display will start to increase slowly and speed
up than.
Pressing both arrow keys at the same time resets the
respective display to 0.
3rd key press: Y flashes on the display.
You can now use the arrow keys to set the slope of
the Y axis in the same way as for the X axis.
4th key press: Confirms your input
After this, the device first starts levelling again, which
is shown by the flashing levelling display. After this,
the entered slope settings are approached.
During this procedure, the slope symbol blinks.
Once the values have been reached, the slope set-
tings and the slope symbol are displayed permanently
lit.
If external influences change the position of the
device, the Autoslope monitoring system registers this
and automatically initiates adjustment. If the device is
tilted a relatively long way, the system interrupts
rotation and the laser beam and the warning display
flash rapidly.

7
If you press the slope key again, you can start grading
again, the device carries out levelling again and
approaches the stored slope settings again.
Important: The laser's mounting position and
possibly also the elevation and direction may,
however, have changed. This means that to be on
the safe side you should switch the device off and
back on again and adjust it.
Mask Mode
5.
In mask mode, you can limit the laser exit to a settable
range.
This is only possible with a rotating laser beam, i.e. not
in scanning mode.
By pressing the key three times you enlarge the masked
area up from 90 to 270°. With the 4th press you leave
the mask mode. The switched-off area is displayed
black. In the light area, the laser beam is still emitted.
Using the counterclockwise/clockwise rotation keys, you
can rotate the mask area in the desired direction.
TILT Function
6.
In the case of major changes to the mounting position
(e.g. accidentally moving the tripod leg), a TILT function
ensures that the device switches off and draws attention
to the fact by the laser beam and the warning triangle
flashing quickly.
After this, you must restart the device.
Setting of re-adjustment in levelling-
7.
and grade mode (Windy)
The laser has an integrated “Windy” function which ex-
tend the re-adjustment range to continue working due to
wind, vibrations or slight shocks in levelling- and grade
mode to.

8
Power Supply of Laser
8.
The battery level indicator shows the battery status in
four steps.
If the three bars on the display are blank and the outside
frame flashes, the battery is flat and you must charge it.
If you do not notice this, the device switches off
automatically after a certain amount of time.
During charging the three bars flash from top to bottom.
When the battery is fully charged, all the bars are shown.
Charge the battery at room temperature using only the
THEIS standard mains unit connected to the charger
socket below the laser. Charging at temperatures below
+5°C can lead to defects in the battery.
Charging is also possible during operation. Overloading
is not possible.
Only use the charger on dry premises!
The batteries that are used with Eneloop™
technology have the advantage of low levels of self-
discharge. This means that if you do not use the
device, you only need to recharge it every six
months.
In the battery compartment, you can also use
normal alkaline mono-cells. Under no
circumstances must you recharge them. If you
do this by mistake, the battery symbol flashes.
Important: Observe the correct polarity.
There are ±symbols on the base of the
battery compartment. Observe the
disposal information in point 18.
Important: Because the battery poles
and contacts may soil over time, resulting
in contact problems, regular inspection
and possibly cleaning with a soft cloth
and cleaning agent (spirit, alcohol) are
necessary.

Radio Remote Control FB-V (Option)
9.
The wireless remote control is designed on a bidirectional basis. All
the information that is shown on the laser's display can also be
seen on the lit-up display of the remote control. The key symbols on
the operator panel correspond to the keys on the laser keypad.
Die FB-3 durch Drücken einer beliebigen Taste einschalten. Die
Switch on the FB - V by pressing any key. The remote control
automatically searches for an appropriate channel to rule out
disturbances to other devices.
On the display, you can see the same information as on the display
of the associated laser. If this is not the case and an antenna
symbol is displayed, this may be due to one of the following
reasons:
- The laser is not switched on
- The radio channel is not set correctly
- The remote control is out of range of the laser.
Pressing both arrow keys switches off the laser. The FB - V
switches itself off after 1 minute.
If the Standby-/Sleep-function is activated to save the capacity of
the battery (see capital 11), the laser can be set in standby-mode
by pressing both arrow-buttons on the remote control. With any
button on the remote control the standby-mode can be stopped.
The instrument will return to normal operation, as if the instrument
will be switched on. The maximum standby-period can be set at the
info-menu (see capital 11). The laser switches off if standby-period

10
is exceeded.
Power is supplied by two alkaline micro AAA batteries. The service
life is approximately 60 hours.
The battery symbol shows the status of the FB - V's batteries.
To change the batteries, open the cover on the back and replace
the batteries. Observe the correct polarity. For information on
disposal, see point 18.
Calibration Check10.
Set up the laser leveller as described in point 2 (but on an extremely
well aligned tripod) and align it along a traverse length of
approximately 30 metres –starting with the X axis, for example –and
switch it on.
At the end of the traverse length, make a mark at the level of the laser
beam. After this, rotate the laser unit by 180° and make another mark.
Then do the same for the Y axis. If all the marks are on top of each
other or are only slightly apart (maximum of 2 mm), adjustment is OK.
If the marks are a long way apart, you must get a specialist firm to
check the equipment and recalibrate it.
