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.

ADDER (add)
To carry out accurate measurements indoors, the ADDER-function auto-
matically adds the height, respectively thickness of the measuring module
on the measured data.
Access to the ADDER-funktion:
1) Set the required point of reference with the ZERO-key.
2) Press HOLD and move the measuring module to the required measu-
ring point (e.g. from the floor to the ceiling). You hear short bleeps.
Keep the measuring module stable on the measuring point. The bleeps
will stop when the figure is configured.
3) Now press the MARK-key to add the height of the measuring module
or press the REC-key for 2 seconds to add the thickness of the measu-
ring module.
Press the HOLD-key to leave the function.
Make sure that the device is set to „boot off“. Press HOLD to
keep the data.
Then press CAL-key for 2 seconds and hold. Display alternately
shows ‘bon’ and ‘boff’. Release at either ‘Boot on’ or ‘Boot off’.
Press HOLD again to leave this function. This choice is saved for

CAL
The appliance has been calibrated at the factory. Please only calibrate, in
case the measuring results are wrong or the letters ‘CAL’ are blinking on
the display. A benchmark of 1.219 m above the base unit is important for
the gauging. Ideally, you should use the feeler rod for calibration.
Calibrating the ZipLevel:
1) Put the basic unit on its back onto a level surface and switch the
measuring module on.
2) Lay the measuring module on its base or back next to the basic unit.
Press the CAL-key for 2 seconds.
3) When (0) is blinking on the display, shortly press CAL.
4) When (1.219) is blinking on the display, raise the measuring module
to a height of 1.219 m above the basic unit and press CAL again. The
measuring module has to be held stable during the process. The feeler
rod or a tape measure mark at a wall should be used as the calibrating
standard.
5) When the display stops blinking and shows 1.219 m the appliance is
recalibrated.
You can leave the calibration function at any time without
calibrating! For that you press the CAL-key for 2 seconds.

TIPS FOR USERS
1) Check the point of reference often when carrying out critical/serious
levelling jobs or press ZERO often at the point of reference. (CAL is not
necessary for levelling!) Hold the height differences between line, basic
unit and measuring module as low as possible.
2) If possible, avoid high differences in temperature between line and
measuring module (e.g. sun and shade).
3) Avoid pulling hard, whipping or stepping on the line without checking
the point of reference or setting to zero.
4) The display blinks ‘8888‘ at use beyond the specified altitude range.
Beyond the temperature range under -30 °C or over +70 °C ‘CAL’ is
continuously shown.
5) As the ZipLevel shows the last carried out function when switched on,
please make sure that you leave the function after every measuring.
Hold the relevant key for 2 seconds and you leave the function.
6) In muddy environments, please wipe the measuring lead with a piece
of cloth before rolling it up.
7) Does --0-- respectively „CAL“ show up, press the ZERO-key as soon as
possible respectively calibrate the appliance.
