Care and maintenance
The spirit level is a precision instrument and must be handled with care.
Do not expose the spirit level to dust and moisture. The spirit level must not
be subjected to blows, vibration and extreme temperatures. If the spirit level
is to be unused for a long time, remove the batteries.
Disposal
Follow local ordinances when disposing of this product. If you are unsure
about how to dispose of this product contact local council.
Description
• 600 mm digital spirit level.
• Sturdy aluminium frame.
• Two bubble vials for level and plumb, high precision, deviation only ± 0.5 mm/m.
• Digital slope measurement, accuracy ± 0.2°. Result can be displayed in °,
%, mm/m or in/ft.
• V-shaped groove along the entire underside allows precision measurement
on pipes as well.
If you choose the units in/ft, the display
shows H = 6

Buttons
1. [CAL] Press to enter calibration mode.
2. [UNIT] ] Press to toggle between different display units: ° (degrees),
% (slope), mm/m and in/ft (rising - falling).
3. [Hold] Press to save the currently displayed data. When the hold function
has been activated, the display shows
“
H”. Press [Hold] again to deac-
tivate the function.
4. [REF] Press to save a reference point. When the reference point has been
saved, the display shows
“
S”. Press [REF] again to deactivate it.
5. [Audio] Switch buzzer on/off. When the buzzer is on, it sounds at 0°, 45°
and 90° (± 0.5°).
6. [ ] Press to switch on the spirit level. Hold down for about three seconds
to switch off the spirit level.

NOTE:
The display switches off automatically when the batteries are low.
To save the batteries there is an automatic switch-off function which switches
off the spirit level if it has been motionless for three minutes.
Use
1. Press [ ]; the display comes on.
2. Place the spirit level on a level surface. The slope is displayed directly as 0–90°.
3. The angle is displayed in both directions.
Measurement from a reference surface
During measurement you can save a measured
value as 0° so that it can be used as a reference
for the next measurement.
Example: You want to use the slope (A) as
a reference for the next measurement (B).
1. Place the spirit level on the reference surface (A).
2. Press [REF]. The display shows
“
0”.
3. Place the spirit level on the new measurement
surface (B).
4. Read off the angle between (A) and (B) on
the display.
Calibrating the spirit level
1. Place the spirit level on a flat surface with a slope of less than 5°.
If the slope is greater, the display shows “Err”.
2. Hold down [CAL] for about five seconds to start calibration.
3. When the display shows “CAL 1”, release the button and wait for
the actual slope to be displayed.
4. Turn the spirit level through 180° and put it back on the same surface.
5. Hold down [CAL] for about five seconds and release the button when
“CAL 2” appears.
6. “CAL 2” flashes three times and the reading is displayed again.
