Professional precision altimeter
The ZipLevel is a professional altimeter which enables you to scale and level
on your own also around corners with accuracy within 2 mm. You have a
working area up to ± 6 m vertical and up to 60 m in diameter. The digital
measuring module shows all your measurements and is easy to operate.
The extremely sturdy measurement cable with patented gas-liquid-system
reliably works from -30 °C up to +70 °C.
Read the operating instructions and the enclosed brochure „Guaran-
tee and additional notices“ completely. Follow the instructions they
contain. Safely keep these documents for future reference.

Inserting batteries into the measuring module
Open the battery compartment (E)
and insert the batteries according to
the installation symbol. Pay attention
to the correct polarity. Close the
battery compartment again.
Console
The keys HOLD and ON/OFF react
instantaneously, all the other keys have
to be pressed for 2 seconds in order
to activate or deactivate the particular
function. The functions are also fitted
with audible signals (clicking and blee-
ping) which makes it easier to work
overhead or in non visible areas.
The ZipLevel memorizes the last accomplished function. When you
turn the instrument on again and intend to leave the function,
press the accordant key for 2 seconds.

Quick start of the ZipLevel
Open the bottom protective cap of the basic unit and remove the
measuring module. Lay the basic unit on the floor with the back facing
down. Slowly pull a sufficient length of line off the cable reel. The altitude
will be transferred from the basic unit to the measuring module.
Switch the measuring module on with the ON/OFF-key and put the unit
with its back or base on the required place of reference. When the display
is ready, you will hear 2 short audible bleeps. Press the ZERO-key for
2 seconds. Keep the measuring module steady until the figure zero
appears on the display. The appliance has now been set.

Quick start of the ZipLevel
Give a place of reference to the measuring module (press ZERO-key) and
move it to a different height. The appliance shows the difference in height
between the place of reference and the measuring point. Now you can
hold the appliance against any point and it always shows you the current
height towards the place of reference.
Always use the measuring module with the side, which was used to set
ZERO. Do not change from one locating side to another without setting
to ZERO again.
If you want to find out the height between floor and ceiling set the
appliance to ZERO with its back or bottom side on the floor. Then hold
the top, base or back to the ceiling in order to measure. Manually add
the height (8,8 cm) or thickness (5,0 cm) of the measuring module to
the shown data.
Make sure that the device is set to „boot off“. For more information,
see chapter „Boot on“ / „Boot off“ (page 13).

Keys and functions
ON/OFF
With this key you switch the unit on and off. If no key has been pressed or
the measuring module has not been moved within 4 minutes, the unit will
switch itself off automatically. After 3 minutes without any activity the unit
will sound a warning by giving 2 long bleeps.
HOLD
The HOLD-function is used where you have problems reading the display
or where you intend to keep the measured data. The function can be
switched on and off by shortly pressing the HOLD-key.
Measuring and keeping of the data (see drawing page 8):
1) First you set the unit at the required point with the ZERO-key.
2) Shortly press the HOLD-key as long as the measuring module is still
being moved. The unit will then give a series of bleeps.
3) Move the measuring module to the place where you intend to measure.
4) Wait until the unit has stabilized and therefore no more bleeps are
audible.
5) Retrieve the measuring module. The data of the remote point will be
kept on the display. Shortly press HOLD again to leave this function.

Press the ZERO-key for 2 seconds in order to make the present height
(location of the measuring module) the point of reference. The unit must
not be moved in this process!

SCALE
With this you choose the required measurements in millimetres, centime-
tres or meters. Press the SCALE-key for 2 seconds and hold. Now the
gauges the bottom right of the display will change. Release the key once
the required measurement appears. The measurement for millimetres is not
indicated, cm and m appear on the display. The unit „M“ is not available
in HighPrecision mode.
RES
The ZipLevel is featured with a choice of 3 display accuracies. Press the
RES-key for 2 seconds and keep it pressed in order to choose the required
resolution. Release the RES-key once the required resolution is shown.
Your choice is stored now up to next accuracy change.
