How often should ZIPLEVEL's fluid reservoir be inspected for accuracy retention?

Regular inspection of a ZIPLEVEL’s fluid reservoir is essential to ensure continued measurement accuracy and reliability over time. For best results, the fluid reservoir should be checked at least every six months, or more frequently if the device is used intensively on large construction or surveying projects across Europe.

Technical recommendations for maintaining ZIPLEVEL accuracy

The fluid reservoir in a ZIPLEVEL altimeter is fundamental for precise hydrostatic level measurements—any contamination, evaporation, or bubbles can interfere with its function. To maintain optimal accuracy retention, implement the following best practices:

• Perform a visual check every six months for signs of leakage, cloudiness, or reduced fluid volume.
• Verify measurement consistency by comparing readings over a known, stable surface.
• When using in challenging environments (dusty, hot, or freezing conditions), increase inspection frequency to every three months.
• Refer to specialized products such as the precise and versatile ZIPLEVEL 24m Basic altimeter for robust field solutions.

If a decrease in performance or irregular values is noticed, a full calibration and potential refill or replacement of the reservoir fluid is recommended. Proper care ensures not only accuracy but also extends the life of your ZIPLEVEL device.

How do I detect a loss of accuracy in my ZIPLEVEL due to fluid issues?

A quick method is to double-check level readings at known reference points. If repeated discrepancies are found, inspect the reservoir for leaks or contaminants—which may indicate it's time for servicing or fluid replacement.
