A short press of the “Zero” button turns on or off the sound feature of the DL160. When turned on the DL160 will
emit a number of beeps the beeps will get faster and faster as the level gets progressively closer to being either level
(0.0
o
) or to Vertical (90.0
o
), once exactly on these points a solid tone beep is sounded. A long press of the same but-
ton (2 seconds) will put the level into Calibration Mode (see details later).
The “Deg/Grad” button changes the units of measure displayed by the DL160, the default unit is degrees and each
press of the button will toggle the DL160 between degrees and percentage grade.
The “Hold” button will freeze the LCD display when pressed, this is handy when wanting to check the angle of a
surface that is out of view when the level is placed on it. PLace the level on the surface press the hold button once
which freezes the display so that you can remove the level so that you can read the display.
Low Battery is indicated by a flashing battery symbol appearing on the LCD display.
Calibration Instructions
Calibration may be required after sustained vibrations, large temperature variations or any knocks or drops. To check
the calibration simply place the level on any handy flat surface and read off the angle/slope displayed then rotate the
DL160 180
o
so that the reverse side of it is facing you, again note the angle/slope the difference between the two
should be no more than 0.2
o
which is tolerance. If the variation falls beyond this then the DL600 will need calibrating
using the following method.
To calibrate.
1.
Place the DL160 on smooth horizontal surface (does not have to be level) and press hold “ZERO” button “-0-” will be displayed.
2.
Wait 10 seconds and press “ZERO” button again and “-1-” will be displayed.
3.
Next turn the level 180
o
on the same levelling surface (see diagram below) and wait another 10 seconds press “ZERO” again
“-2-” will display for a moment and the display will then return to showing the angle in degrees. Re-check and if necessary repeat
calibration procedure.
