Wedge Innovations SmartLevel - Measurement Techniques

Measuring with Smartlevel
Using Arrow Symbols to Align Smartlevel
Arrows on the display indicate which way to move
SmartLevel to achieve level or plumb.
Between 0° and 44.9~ a pair of (e 2. g o J)
arrows in opposite comers of the
display will point towards the level position.
Between 45° and 89.9~ the arrows will point
towards plumb.
The SmartLevel display electronically "flips over" when the
unit is turned upside-down, allowing for easy reading when
measuring overhead components.

14 Measuring with Smartlevel
Setting an Angle ("Zeroing" Out)
For some jobs, you may wish to set a particular angle as a
reference point from which you can take measurements. For
example, you may want a 3° surface displayed as 0° so you
can measure all other angles from this benchmark.
A good example is setting the blade angle on a radial-arm
saw. You can easily use the SmartLevel module to set the
blade even if the saw table/bed isn't peifectly level.
Just "zero" out the module on the table (set it to read 0.0°),
and then use the module to set the blade at the proper angle
without having to compensate for the out-of-level condition
of the saw.
CAUTION: If you set your SmartLevel to read 0.0° when it is off level,
you must follow the Reset procedure before you can once again accurately
read level and plumb (see Reset/SuperSet button,
pages 7-11 ).
How ~o Set an Angle
• Place SmartLevel on the
surface you wish to set at 0.0~
Wait 1 0 seconds.
• Press the Reset button
until the symbol "CAL 1"
appears, followed by the
angle measurement itself. ,,.... ~

When the level is on this
surface or another at the same
angle, it will read "0.0~"
