2.3. Absolute Level mode

To operate in “Absolute Level” mode, press & hold “ALTERNATE ZERO” button

for ≥ 2 seconds, ABS icon (on top-left corner) & number “1” show up on LED display.

Place the device on the surface to be measured. Press

“MODE” button to start the measurement and wait

until countdown number reaches zero.

Please ensure the contact surfaces of the device and

measuring plane are clean and free from dust particles.

Next, the screen displays “2” turn the device 180° press

(reverse direction) and press “MODE” button to start

the measurement and wait until countdown reaches

zero.

Once completed step 1& 2, “ABS icon” on top left cor-

ner of display lights up to indicate that the device is in

Absolute Level mode.

2.6. Calibration Mode

1. Turn Off device. Next, Press & Hold “ON/OFF” button & then “ALTERNATE ZERO”

button simultaneously, release both buttons when displays ashing “01”.

2. Place the device to position 1. Press “MODE” button once and wait until count-

down reaches “0”, LCD screen displays ashing “02”.

4. Verify your calibration result by comparing the measurement value of current posi-

tion with the device after turning 180° (in reverse position). If displayed measurement

value differs >0.001°, the device has not been calibrated properly (e.g. surface un-

evenness due to rough surfaces or dirt, etc.). Please put a device on smooth surfaces

to re-calibrate again.

3. QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. Why device LED screen is showing only blinking BT icon?

Blinking “BT” icon indicates the device has not been initialized yet. Users are required to

initialize the device by launching “Digi-Pas®Machinist Level” App on your smartphone

through Bluetooth connection. Guide on how to pair and initialize the device with your

smartphone is in the App. “Digi-Pas® Machinist Level” app must be rst downloaded to

your smartphone from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Why device display value is not zero when placing on a at surface?

This situation happens when a precision level is placed on a rough, dirty or uneven sur-

face. Precision digital levels are very sensitive to surface unevenness where it is placed.

Ensure that contact surfaces are clean and smooth to get consistent readings.

Digi-Pas®precision digital level has a smart built-in feature that allows users to perform

self-calibration to completely remove any residue offset value and set the device to

its factory accuracy. See video links in www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Me8C0YhnAs on

how to perform “User-Self Calibration”. An alternative to perform self-calibration steps,

users may choose an easy ‘quick solution’ to simply perform the Absolute Level Setting

on the surface of the object to be measured to remove any residual offset on each

measurement to be taken.

2. Why do I get two different readings when placing the device on front facing, and then

replacing it on the reversed facing?

Your precision digital level may have been subjected to extreme physical or tem-

perature shocks during usage, transportation or storage that affected its accuracy.

An offset value of reading may have been present in the device. Digi-Pas®precision

digital level has a smart built-in feature that allows users to perform self-calibration to

completely remove any residue offset in the device and set the device to its factory

accuracy. See video links in www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Me8C0YhnAs how to per-

form “User-Self Calibration”. An alternative to perform self-calibration steps, users may

choose an easy ‘quick solution’ to simply perform the Absolute Level Setting on the

surface of the object to be measured to remove any residual off-set on each measure-

ment to be taken.

3. Machinist Level App unable to pair with a device. What should I do?

Device battery level might be low, please replace 2 new batteries.

4. Machinist Level App is unable to nd device. What should I do?

Please ensure device Bluetooth is enabled to establish wireless connection. To enable/

disable Bluetooth connection, press and hold device’s MODE button.
