• If the angle gauge measures an exact horizontal, a horizontal line will be displayed and no
arrow symbols will appear on the display.
The LCD display features a display rotation function. When you position the angle
gauge the other way up (180°), the display rotates to make the measurements
easier to read. For best results and to ensure consistent measurements, always use
the bottom of the angle gauge as the reference surface.
c) Switching units
• The default unit is degrees (°). Measurements are displayed in °.
• Press the
MODE
button (2) to change the unit to percent (%).
• Press the
MODE
button (2) again to display the inclination in mm/m. Press the button again
to display the measurement in IN/FT.
d) Measuring relative angles
• Turn on the angle gauge and place the bottom of the angle gauge on the surface that you
want to measure. If the surface is not horizontal, briefly press the
ON/OFF/REF
button (3) to
reset the angle gauge to zero. "0.00°" will appear on the LCD display (4). Depending on the
selected unit, the zero point may not include decimal places.
• The angle gauge is now in relative measurement mode. The symbol will appear on the
LCD display to indicate that the measured angle is relative to another surface.
• The angle is measured in relation to the surface. If you subsequently incline the angle gauge
to the left or right or hold it on another surface, the display shows the angle between the two
surfaces, e.g. "42.0°". For example, if the surface is at an angle of 3° to the horizontal before
you press the
ON/OFF/REF
button (3), the actual angle will deviate from the horizontal by
45° or 39° when the measured angle is 42°. Note the direction of the arrow and inclination
symbol.
•
Briefly press the
ON/OFF/REF
button (3) to exit the relative measurement mode.
e) Hold function
• Press the
HOLD
button (1) to freeze the measurement on the LCD display. The symbol
will appear on the LCD display.
• You can now move the angle gauge and note the measured angle.
• Press the
HOLD
button (1) again to unfreeze the measurement on the LCD display. The
angle gauge will revert to the standard measurement mode. The icon will disappear from
the LCD display.
f) Backlight
• Press any button to turn on the LCD display backlight.
• The backlight turns on automatically when the display changes.
• The backlight switches off after 20 seconds if no buttons are pressed and the angle gauge
is not moved.
g) Calibrating the angle gauge
Before calibrating the angle gauge, place it on a flat, even surface that it is at an
angle of no more than 5° to the horizontal. If the inclination angle exceeds 5°, "Err"
will be displayed and you will not be able to complete the calibration process.
• Press and hold the
ON/OFF/REF
button (3) to switch off the angle gauge.
• Place the bottom of the angle gauge on a secure horizontal surface.
Ensure that the angle gauge is not subjected to vibrations. Do not shake it during the
calibration process.
• Press and hold the
HOLD
(1) and
ON/OFF/REF
buttons (3) at the same time to place the
angle gauge in calibration mode. The "CAL" icon will appear on the LCD display.
• Keep the angle gauge still for a few seconds. Press the
HOLD
button (1). The "CAL1" symbol
will appear on the LCD display.
• Turn the angle gauge by 180° and ensure that the bottom of the angle gauge is level with
the same surface.
• Press the
HOLD
button (1) again. The "CAL2" icon will appear on the LCD display. Calibration
is complete when the "CAL2" icon disappears from the LCD display. The current angle will
be be displayed.
• Please note that calibrating the angle gauge changes the manufacturer's calibration settings.
Proceed with caution.
Care and cleaning
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may
damage the casing or cause the product to malfunction.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
• Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the product.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste.
Always dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.
Remove any inserted batteries and dispose of them separately from the product.
b) Batteries
You are required by law to return all used batteries (Battery Directive). They must not
be placed in household waste.
Batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate
that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals
in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (indicated on the battery,
e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used batteries can be returned to local collection points, our stores or battery retailers.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
