Quick start of the ZipLevel
Open the bottom protective cap of the basic unit and remove the measu-
ring 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.
ADVICE: If the basic unit gets moved, the measuring module needs to be
set at the place of reference again.

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 app-
liance 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. Take into account whether you are working with protective
cover or not! This feature can also be done automatically with the ADDER-
function (pp. 16-17).

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 p. 7):
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.
