TIP: Please

save packing

materials for

of your Level TROLL.

The shipping boxes have

accessories.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

CERTIFICATION

The Level TROLL complies with all applicable directives required by CE

and the FCC and found to comply with EN 61326, ICES-003, and FCC

Part 15 speciﬁcations. Declarations of conformity may be found at end of

this manual.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your Level TROLL was carefully inspected before shipping. Check for any

physical damage sustained during shipment. Notify In-Situ and ﬁle a claim

with the carriers involved if there is any such damage; do not attempt

to operate the instrument. Accessories may be shipped separately and

should also be inspected for physical damage and the fulﬁllment of your

order.

SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number is engraved on the body of the Level TROLL. It is

also programmed into the instrument and displayed when the instrument

is connected to a computer running Win-Situ 5 or Win-Situ Mobile. We

recommend that owners keep a separate record of this number. Should

your Level TROLL be lost or stolen, the serial number is often necessary

for tracing and recovery, as well as any insurance claims. If necessary,

In-Situ maintains complete records of original owner’s names and serial

numbers.
