Wedge Innovations SmartLevel - Troubleshooting Common Issues

SmartLevel Maintenance
SmartLevel is designed for the rugged construction environ-
ment, and the following tips will ensure that your SmartLevel
is kept in top condition.
• The Sensor Module and rails are weather- and water-resistant. Should
your Smartlevel be splashed with mortar or other construction site
residue, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE SENSOR MODULE IN WATER.
• Aluminum surfaces can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleansing
powder.
• ABS composite surfaces should be cleaned with a mild liquid soap and
water.
• We advise you to store your Smartlevel away from extreme temperatures
below -20°C (-4°F) or higher than 60°C (140°F).
• Don't forget to RESET your Smartlevel daily, and to use the simple "end-
for-end" test frequently to see if SUPERSET is required.
