The electronic module can be used as a torpedo level or can be clipped into a triangular aluminum rail (straight edge). The large liquid crystal digital display, operated by an on/off button, can show the measured slope in degrees (and tenths of degrees), % of slope, pitch (inches of rise over one foot of run) and a simulated bubble. A conventional 9-volt battery powers the level. The Smartlevel can be set to show a non-horizontal angle as a reference angle. By "zeroing out" such a non-horizontal surface, all subsequent angles can be measured from the selected benchmark. The Smartlevel can be rapidly recalibrated if dropped, and I recommend recalibrating at the beginning of every documentation project. As you can see in the photos one of the locking screws on the back of the module is missing and it is locked in the 48†rail I am sure that someone who knows what they are doing, unlike myself, could have this back in working order in no time and with little effort (please look at our rules and privacy policy) |
