ASICS NTRODUCTION The new BlueSYSTEM BASIC series has been developed as a basic model to the well known and well proven measuring instruments of the BlueSYSTEM family with wireless data transmission. Compared to the existing systems with wireless data transmission the BlueSYSTEM BASIC series has an excellent price/performance ratio and is easier to operate.
REPARATION AND TART UP OF THE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS EFORE STARTING INSERTING RESPECTIVELY LEVEL BASIC REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES IN METER BASIC 2.1.1 E METER BASIC XCHANGE OF BATTERIES IN THE The batteries are not installed in the new instruments they are delivered separately. It is recommended to remove the batteries when transporting the instruments.
• The operation "Combine a group of Instruments" described in chapter 2.4 has already been done at WYLER's when the instruments are delivered. • If a configuration is shut off, e.g. after completion of a measurement, the group-setup remains saved.

"JOIN" OMBINE A ROUP OF NSTRUMENTS USING THE FUNCTION The function "JOIN" enables the grouping of instruments through wireless data transmission. The grouping prevents the accidental reading of measuring values from instruments of another measuring group. The function "JOIN" can be performed using the cable connection or with wireless data transmission.
2.4.2 "LEAVE" ROCEDURE Using the function "LEAVE" unleashes an existing measuring group. 1. Press the <ON/MODE> button on the BlueMETER BASIC repeatedly until the menu [LEAVE] appears on the display. Confirm with <ENTER>. 2. During the log-off the blue LED under "LINK" is lit continuously, the green LED "READY"...
LEVEL BASIC ESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF THE WITH AND WITHOUT RADIO MODULE Starting the BlueLEVEL BASIC The BlueLEVEL BASIC is started using the <ON/MODE> and <ON> keys located opposite on the handle. The two keys must be pressed simultaneously until all the LEDs on the top of the handle are lit. In case the BlueLEVEL BASIC is connected to a BlueLEVEL BASIC with external power supply, the BlueLEVEL BASIC is started automatically when the BlueMETER BASIC is switched on.

ASIC SETUP OF THE INCLINATION MEASURING INSTRUEMNTS MINUS RULE The instrument should always be placed in a way that the cable output is on the right hand side. Inclined to the right: positive Declined to the right: negative (Practical remark: positive values indicate that some material may be removed on the measured piece) Before starting the measurement enough acclimatisation time must be allowed for the instruments.
Practical example Position defined of the vertical spindle in relation to the machine table of a machine tool. Measurement with WYLER- software MT-SOFT Relative measurement (Relative ZERO) A number of measurements do not require the absolute ZERO as described above.
Page 42
Example: Measuring the flatness of a machine bed. The reference instrument is placed on a stable part of the machine where the measurement is not interfered. With the measuring instrument the measurement is taking place without removing the reference instrument. Practical example Flatness measurement with WYLER-software LEVELSOFT PRO page 42 of 84...

ZERO) ERO SETTING BY REVERSAL MEASUREMENT BSOLUTE Using the reversal measurement is a simple way to determine the exact zero point deviation of the instrument (which can thus be compensated) as well as the exact inclination of the surface the instrument is placed Reversal measurement for determining I.

After the first reading the following display is seen: This display means the first reading was successful. The instrument must be turned 180 degrees without lifting and slid exactly onto the previously marked position Use the zapper or confirm with <ENTER>. On the display the progress of the collected values are again visible in graphic form.
(absolute ZERO). If e.g. the straightness of a line is measured most of the time the relative straightness is only required. The same applies when lines, parallels, flatness is measured with the WYLER LEVEL SOFT PRO. These are relative measurements.
Page 48
Examples for differential / reference measurement: R = Reference instrument, connected to port "B" M = Measuring instrument, connected to port "A" Rectangularity resp. parallelism of machine spindle in relation to work table (Fig. 7). For precise square measurements an angular model fitted with magnets in the vertical face should be used. (Elimination of deformation due to manual pressure).
Page 49
Inspection of perpendicularity and parallelism on large structures (Fig. 9). Suitable instrument for outdoor applications. To conduct high precision measurements of parallelism (Fig 10) (e.g. guide way rails two or more) The reference instrument (R) will compensate for all changes in the objects orientation while measurements are made.
The determination of the instrument's angular error is done as follows: Index of correction = {(C + D)/2} - {(A + B)/2} In the WYLER LEVELSOFT PRO a new set-up allows the easy measurement of squareness of rectangular objects. Principal procedure of a 90° measurement with WYLER LEVEL SOFT PRO The angular error of the instrument must be determined (optional) The measurement follows the required set-up (Step length, number of measurements etc.)

US COMPATIBLE INSTRUMENTS The WyBus concept allows to connect, besides the new sensors, also most of the previous sensors to a BlueMETER, a BlueMETER BASIS or a BlueTC. It is, however, important to differentiate whether they are connected through a short cable, through a longer cable up to maximum 1200 m or via wireless transmission. ONNECTION THROUGH A SHORT CABLE The following sensors can be connected through a cable of maximum 15 m length to a BlueMETER, a BlueMETER BASIC or a BlueTC.
