Initial Power On
Press the power button (red button with power symbol) to turn on the device. The LED display will illuminate, showing the current angle or slope.
Operating Instructions
Basic Measurement
Place the base of the DWL280PRO firmly on the surface you wish to measure. The digital display will instantly show the angle relative to horizontal. For vertical measurements, the display will automatically invert when the gauge is upside down, ensuring readability.

This image demonstrates the use of the Digi-Pas DWL280PRO digital level for vertical measurements. A hand holds the level against a metal shelving unit, utilizing its magnetic V-groove base to securely attach to the surface. The bright LED display clearly shows a 90.00-degree reading, indicating a perfectly vertical alignment.
Changing Display Units
Press the UNIT button (blue button with two arrows) to cycle through different measurement units: degrees (°), slope (%), mm/M, and inch/FT.
Setting Reference Angle / Zero Function
To set a relative zero point, place the level on your desired reference surface and press the ZERO button (green gear icon). The display will show 0.00°, and subsequent measurements will be relative to this new zero.
Buzzer Function
The DWL280PRO features an audible buzzer that sounds at 0° or any user-set angle, providing an auditory cue for precise alignment.
