Before use
(How to Measure Correctly)
Doing so may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand for
at least 2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a temperature
difference of 20˚C or more.
Update settings, replace items, or call for service as necessary based on the results of the
visual inspection. Do not use the unit if you see any signs of damage. Equipment that has been
damaged must be checked for proper operation by qualified personnel before using again.

2.Preparation for Use
Level Gauge
(Remote Display Version)
Place the equipment on a level surface. If the equipment is
not stable, for example because not all the feet are on a
level surface, there is a risk that it will topple over and it will
be impossible to obtain an accurate measurement.
For a column mounted version, adjust the level gauge, then
adjust the position of the supplementary feet (small) so that
they lightly touch the floor to prevent the display box from
shaking.
For accurate measurement, place the equipment on as
flat a surface as possible and adjust the level with the
adjustable feet so the bubble in the level gauge is in the
centre of the frame.
Pull out the stand at the back of the display box.
When putting away the display box, insert the stand in the slot on the back of the
display box.
・There is a danger that the Display Box may fall down if it is not fixed
securely.
・Avoid installing the Display Box in a place where users may step on or
get caught by the cable.
・Do not swing the Display Box by the cable.
Screw the wall-hanging screws into the wall (leave the screws protruding 5 mm
from the wall).
Insert the screws into the holes on the back of the display box.
Pull down the display box securely into place.

(How to Measure Correctly)
•Be careful not to drop the batteries on your feet when
changing the LR6 (AA) batteries.
•Ensure that the batteries are inserted with the correct
polarity. If the polarity is incorrect, the batteries may
leak and damage the equipment.
•Remove the batteries before storing the equipment if it
is not to be used for a long time.
Insert the AC adapter jack into the DC jack socket of the Display
Box, and insert the AC Adapter plug into a wall socket.
Check that the Pilot Lamp on the AC Adapter lights.
Unscrew the Fixing Screws for the Battery Compartment on the
right side of the Display Box and pull out the Battery
Compartment. Insert six LR6 (AA) dry cell batteries in the
correct positions as shown inside the Battery Compartment
and fix the Battery Compartment with the Fixing Screws.
If is displayed on the Display, please replace all the six
batteries LR6 (AA) with new ones.
