2. HANDLING
When measuring, hold the device only by the wooden grip in order to minimize drift error due to heat input
from your hand.
The included dowel pins must be cleaned and greased carefully. In addition, care must be taken to prevent
the drilled holes in the tools from becoming dirty.
The wylerLEVEL requires no special maintenance aside from the usual cleaning.
During shipping, the batteries are delivered separately. We recommend removing the batteries before
transporting the devices.
The voltage of the batteries is normally shown in the display, e.g. 27 (2.7 Volt)
The lowest voltage is 1.7 volts. If the voltage drops further, a blinking battery symbol appears . The
batteries must then be swapped out within a reasonable timeframe.
2 items 1.5V, Size “C” ALKALINE
Caution: If the device is equipped with magnets: The magnets are intended to assist during
measurement. They cannot hold the device securely on their own. Therefore, ALWAYS hold the
device by hand or with other equipment!
2.1 STORING THE DEVICE/BATTERIES /BATTERY MAINTENANCE
When not in use for longer periods, the wylerLEVEL should be stored in the carrying case provided.
Read the instructions and tips in the Operator’s Manual before installing the batteries. Ensure that the
batteries are installed correctly. Take note of the PLUS (+) and MINUS (-) symbols at the ends of the
batteries. Keep the battery contacts clean and clean them with a soft cloth. Take note of the

Page 9 of 52 Pages V 1.0
manufacturer’s specification and size when replacing the batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time.
If storing the device for longer periods of time, it is recommended that you remove the batteries from the
device and store them at room temperature in a dry location. Do not dispose of old batteries in fire.
Batteries must not be recharged unless labelled “rechargeable.”

3.1.3 HOW TO SWITCH THE DEVICE ON AND OFF
The wylerLEVEL features an automatic shut off. In normal mode, the device shuts off automatically 60
minutes after the last key operation. This automatic shut off function can be deactivated with a special turn
on sequence, or by using an external power supply.
Switching the device on:
Press and hold the key until the display and all LEDs are
lit, and release the key. The device will automatically shut off 60 minutes
after the last key operation.
If you press the key for longer than 10 seconds, the
automatic OFF function is deactivated. This is shown by blinking LEDs.
The device conducts a function test.
The device switches into measuring mode. The settings that were in
place the last time the device was used will be applied.
Switching the device off:
Press and hold the key until the display turns off. The
selected settings are saved, and will be reloaded the next time the
device is switched on.
3.1.4 KEYS/FUNCTIONS /B RIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL KEYS
ON/MODE Key
Function - 1 -
Switches the wylerLEVEL ON. When the key is pressed at start up,
a gray image appears on the screen, and all the LEDs will light. After releasing the
key, the wylerLEVEL switches into Measuring mode. The current inclination is
displayed – using the display mode and measurement unit that were selected
during the previous usage. If there is a failure, this will be indicated as an error
message on the display screen. The device automatically turns off 60 minutes after
the last key operation.
If the key is held for longer than 10 seconds, the LEDs begin to
blink and the automatic shut off function is deactivated.
Exception: If the wylerLEVEL is connected to an external power supply, the
measuring device will not shut off automatically.
Function - 2 - To turn off the device, press the key for more than 3 seconds until
the display screen turns off.

Page 13 of 52 Pages V 1.0
ZERO/SELECT "+/-" Key
Function - 1 -
The key is used to:
•change the scale in the display
•increase and decrease the display range
This function can, however, be disabled in the device settings.
Function - 2 -
The is used in selecting possible settings
•Menu selection
•Changing a figure in the menu
HOLD Key
Function - 1 - The is used to “freeze” a measuring value. The value is displayed
until the wylerLEVEL is returned to Measuring mode, which is done by pressing
the SEND key.
Function - 2 - In the functions REL.ZERO and ABS.ZERO, the key is used to
input the current measuring value again during manual entry.
REL ZERO Key
Function - 1 - The key is used to set the current inclination as the relative
zero.
Rotating the
display 180°
With the two middle keys and , the display can
be rotated by 180°.
First press the ENTER key, and then the ZERO/SELECT key. This function can be
disabled in Options.

3.2 DISPLAY
The wylerLEVEL features various graphic displays that can be selected and scaled according to the
requirements of the measuring task. The background color and brightness can also be adjusted.
3.2.1 SCALING OF THE DISPLAY
A variety of scaling options are available in order to facilitate optimal use of the graphic display.
With linear scaling, display precision remains constant across the entire range. The
keys can be used to adjust the resolution.
With logarithmic scaling, the display precision is highest at the zero point, and declines progressively with
higher inclination values. Around zero the resolution corresponds to the unit selected.
You can switch between linear and logarithmic scaling in the device settings.
Via the key, select the Options menu item and confirm
the choice with . Now select Logscale and confirm with
By using the keys you can turn logarithmic scaling
ON and OFF. The display will indicate desired state of the device.
Confirm with the key.
The measuring device returns to Measuring mode. When logarithmic
scaling is active, the indication LOG appears under the graphic.
3.2.2 DISPLAY TYPES
The display type can be selected from within the Display menu.
Using the key, select the Display menu item and confirm
your choice with .

3.3 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS PARTS OF THE DISPLAY
Main
display The current measuring value is shown in the main display.
Display of the
inclination direction A symbol indicates the direction of the inclination for the value
displayed
Inclined to the right (positive inclination)
Declined to the right (negative
inclination)
on hold
The HOLD function is activated, i.e. the measuring value is
“frozen”.
ABS
Absolute measurement is activated.
REL
Relative measurement is activated, i.e. the measured value is the
difference between the current plane and the reference plane, in
other words, the relative base.
Display range
60°
Shows the selected display range. The display range can be
adjusted with the keys, provided that this
function is enabled in Options.
Scale division
5°
Angle between two tick marks.
Scale division
LOG

shown, a linear scale is being used.

Page 20 of 52 Pages V 1.0
Serial number Displays the serial number of the device.
Battery voltage
26
Displays the current battery voltage (example: 2.6 V)
The lowest possible voltage is 1.7 volts. If the voltage continues to
drop, a blinking battery symbol will appear. The batteries must
then be replaced immediately. A plug symbol will appear if the
device is powered by an external source.
Measuring unit
Displays the measuring unit currently in use. There are 10 basic
units of measurement available, each of which features a number
of variations. Depending on the unit set, the last digit will be
rounded to 5" or to the next lower integer value. (e.g. 20 µm/m).
