By multiple use of the key
"ON/MODE", align the selection pointer with the position "ZERO".
The selection pointer is
flashing
Use the key
"ENTER/HOLD" to collect the
first reading.
The instrument may still be positioned correctly.
A measurement is only collected after two identical values are repeated. (The +CLINO PLUS+ is able to detect
when it is free from interference)
As soon as a valid measurement is registered it will be displayed.
e.g..
The selection pointer is flashing
Now rotate the +CLINO PLUS+ by 180 Deg. (Not upside down!, but in opposing direction). Use the
key
"ENTER/HOLD" to collect the
second reading
. Again, the instrument may now be accurately positioned
and aligned in the place where the first reading was taken. The +CLINO PLUS+ displays:
first, (after a few seconds) for a very
short period:
and then e.g.:
As soon as a valid measurement is available the +CLINO PLUS+ will calculate and set the exact zero point, switch
to absolute measuring mode and display the actual inclination of the surface. The +CLINO PLUS+'s zero is set to
perform more absolute measurements. The measurement units used previously, remain set.
As the zero setting is retained in the memory it is not absolutely necessary to reset for each use, but in favor of
accuracy, periodic re-setting is recommended, after lengthy storage.
The level of vibration at the measuring location largely influences the time necessary to collect a valid
measurement. Heavy vibration may even completely prevent the condition (two identical values in succession),
necessary to register a true measurement.
In order to regain measuring capability under this condition, take the +CLINO PLUS+ to an object with a lower
vibration level and complete the operation in process. By key operation for
RESET
(Chapter 2.11) the +CLINO
PLUS+ may instantly be returned to standard settings. All previous adjustments are lost by re-setting!
Memorized calibration data is not affected.

HANGE UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
To display measurements in other than the currently set measurement units, repeatedly use the
key
“ON/MODE " to move the selection pointer to the right until the indication of units in use starts flashing.
Using the key
“SELECT/PRINT" all the possible units and formats can be displayed in succession. Select one
of the possibilities and use the key
“ENTER/HOLD“ to enter your choice. The unit indication will be displayed
in normal mode and the +CLINO PLUS+ is ready to measure using the new units. Unless a new selection is made,
this setting will remain effective even after the instrument switches off (sleep mode).
ATTENTION! Special cases:
•
No unit indication displayed = Artillery per mil.
•
Measurement units mm/m
and
selection pointer in position "REL.BASE" = mm over a relative base
of selected length.
•
Measurement units "/10" ; inch per 10 inch
and
selection pointer in position "REL.BASE" = inch
over a relative base of selected length.
