1. BASICS /INTRODUCTION
The newBlueSYSTEM isa continuousfurtherenhancementof the wellknown and wellestablished measuring
instrumentsMINILEVEL NT + LEVELTRONICNT with orwithoutwirelessdata transmission. A BlueSYSTEM normally
consists of one ortwo measuring instrumentsBlueLEVEL and a displayunit BlueMETER.Depending on theapplication
the BlueMETERcan also be connected to a PCwith evaluation software allowingthe onlineevaluation andpresentation
of the values.
The BlueSYSTEMisavailablewith orwithout radiotransmission. When usingthe system with cable connectionsit is
possible to upgrade to wirelesstransmission at a laterstage.
Asits predecessor thisnewest generationof high precision electronicinclination measuring instrumentsisspecifically
suitable forthe precisionmeasurementof smallest angles. Applicationsare therefore inparticularthe measurement of
flatnessof surface platesorthe measurement of the geometryof machine tools. The sensoritself, the heart of every
precision measuringinstrument, hasbeen furtherenhanced aswell, to allowprecise measurementseven undercritical
environmentalconditions.
The newmeasuring instrumentsof the BlueSYSTEMfamilycan be used asindividualinstrumentsaswell ascombined
in a set. Instead of using a BlueMETERit isalso possible to use a BlueTCasan interface to the PC/Laptop.The
functionsare all the same with theexception of the LCDdisplaywhich isonly available with theBlueMETER.
The BlueSYSTEMalso formspart of the WyBus. Therefore a wide varietyof other WYLERsensors can be integrated in
the BlueSYSTEM: Forinstancethe BlueMETERcan read themeasuring valuesof ZEROTRONICsensors or it can
serve as a command andadjustment toolforZEROMATICsensors.
A set of instruments, also called ENGINEERSET, normallyconsistsof one ortwo BlueLEVEL(s)and one BlueMETER,
forming the idealtoolformeasuring flatnessand machinesunderworkshop conditions. Furthermore the ENGINEER
SET can be used foranylevelling taskor analysisof rotations.

2.4 COMBINE AGROUP OF INSTRUMENTS USING THE FUNCTION "JOIN"
The function "JOIN" enablesthe grouping of instruments. The
grouping preventsthe accidental reading of measuringvaluesfrom
instrumentsof anothermeasuring group. Thefunction "JOIN" canbe
performed using the cable connection orwith wirelessdata
transmission.
The function "JOIN" joinsall theinstrumentsconnected to a group.
Previously used groupingsare cancelled.
For the function"JOIN" in wirelessmode only one instrumentcan be added to the group at a time. No instrumentsmust
be connected by cablesat the same time.
2.4.1 PROCEDURE "JOIN" WITH CABLE-CONNECTION
1. Connect all instruments(BlueLEVEL andBlueMETER)
to be joined to a group withthe cablesprovided and
switch on all the instruments
2. Select on the BlueMETERthe menu "JOIN" using the
<ON/MODE> key. Confirm with the <ENTER> key. All
instrumentsconnected are nowsearched andjoined to
a group.

instrumentsare joinedin the measuringgroup(including the own address)
8. For using the wirelessmode (the wirelessmode must be switched-on on each instrument)the cablescan now
be removed. Afterremovingthe cablesthe measuring valueswillbe "freezed"fora short while and replacedby
emptyzeroesuntil, aftersuccessful connection, the measuringvalueswill be displayed again
Remark: Aftersuccessful connectionthe blueLED"LINK" willbe lighting on all theinstrumentsconnected.

Seite 11 von 100
2.4.2 PROCEDURE "JOIN" WITH WIRELESS DATATRANSMISSION
With the function"JOIN" an instrument canbe added bywirelessdata transmission to an existing group. Duringthis
procedure no instrumentmust be connected by cablesasotherwise the "JOIN" procedure forcableswill beperformed.
IMPORTANT:
Only two instruments can be grouped in one procedure. If more instrumentsare membersof a measuring group,
e.g. a BlueLEVEL "1", a BlueLEVEL"2" anda BlueMETERit is
recommended to groupfirst the BlueLEVEL "1"with the
BlueMETERandthen theBlueLEVEL"2" also with the
BlueMETER.The affiliation to the measuringgroup willbe
communicated between themembers.
The two instruments to be grouped must be set to the JOIN-
mode. The <ON/MODE> key must be pressed repeatedly until the
mode [JOIN] appearsin the display. Confirmwith <ENTER>
Searching
1. Both instrumentsare "searching" each other. During the
searching procedure the greenLEDon both instruments
are lit continuously. The instrumentsremainin the
"search" mode untiltheyhavedetectedeach other.
During the search process the followingpicture will bedisplayed:
Remark: The searching processmay go on forseveral minutesin bad communication conditions.
2. Group connection
Assoon asthe two instrumentshave successfullydetected each otherthe search processis stopped and thisis
visualised by a rapid blinking (4 to 5 times per second) of the green LED’s on both instruments.. The joining can
no be activated by
- using the <ENTER> key on one of the instruments
or
- the whole processmay be cancelledbypressing the <ON/MODE> key.
3. Afterestablishing thegroup a "REFRESH" willbe performed.
4. Afterthe groupingthe command "SENSOR" willbe performed. Asthe measuring modehasbeen cancelled
during the JOINprocedure thismode must be selectedagain.Themessage "not-defined" will be displayed
5. The measuring mode("A", "B" or"A-B" must now be selected. Select themodepreferred usingthe
<ZERO/SELECT> keys (corresponding to the menu[SENSOR])and confirm with <ENTER>
It is also possible to execute any otherfunctionof the menu. Forinstance itispossible to integrate withfurther
"JOIN" commandsadditional instrumentswith wirelessconnection into thegroup
6. The sensors must be selected. Select thesensorsforA and -dependingon the measuringmode -also forB using
the <ZERO/SELECT> keys and confirm with <ENTER>. The measuring valuesare nowshown in the display
according to the selectedconfiguration.
7. Aftera successful grouping on both instrumentsthe blue LED"LINK" will belitcontinuously. The green LED
"READY" will blinkshortly asmanytimesasinstrumentsare joined inthe measuringgroup (includingthe own
address)
Attention: If the LED"OFF" isblinking inred, a connection isnot possible (see chapter2.4.2/ special case)

Seite 12 von 100
2.4.3 SPECIAL CASES “JOIN”
In case both instrumentsare already joinedin different groupsof instrumentsthey do findeach otherbut they cannot
communicatetogether. The red LED “OFF” is blinking. The search process may be cancelled by using the key
<ON/MODE> or<ENTER>
If it is required to use one of the instruments in the new measurement group it is necessary to use the mode “LEAVE” to
cancel the existingconnection.
2.5 UNHINGE AN INSTRUMENT IN THE RADIO MODE FROMA GROUP BY USING THE FUNCTION „LEAVE“
Each instrument may be unhinged from anexistinggroupof connected instruments.
PROCEDURE „LEAVE“
1. If BlueLEVELinstrumentsare transmitting measuring
valuesto a BlueMETERora BlueTC,the keyson the
BlueLEVELsare locked. To unlocka BlueLEVEL, the
settingsat the BlueMETERhave to be changed insuch
a way it no longercommunicateswith thisBlueLEVEL.
2. The instrumentsto be disconnectedmust be set to the
mode LEAVE. The <ON/MODE> key must repeatedlybe pressed until inthe displayshowsthe mode [LEAVE].
Confirm with <ENTER>
3. During the leaving mode the blue LED is blinking under “LINK”, the green LED “READY” is not blinking
respectively off.
4. Afterthe successful procedure the green LEDisblinking onceforapprox. 1 second. With thisthe unhinge
process is finished.
2.6 RENEWED CONNECTION OF AMEASURING GROUP
Aftera measuring group hasbeen stopped e.g. afterthe termination of a measurement, the group of instruments
remainsintact. Afterthe restartthe communicationisautomatically activatedand the communication isstarted. The
process JOINmust not be repeated.
