’ANG’ (ANGLE MEASURING)
Press the button two (2) times. The current angle is displayed. Aim with the vertical lines in the display. Finish
measuring by giving a short press on the button.
It is important not to tilt the instrument sideways when measuring vertical angles to avoid getting inaccurate
values of inclination. The HCC Instrument will encourage the operator to correct position with the following
display image/message:
•
Turn the HCC clockwise! Turn the HCC anti-clockwise!
’SET’ (COMPASS SETTINGS)
Deviations will vary. To compensate for the deviation at a given time and place, it is important to consider the
position/place you are actually at when measuring. Note that the deviation can vary from time to time at the
same place.
Choose SEt to set the current deviation for the position you are at, between true north and magnetic north. The
HCC instrument will automatically adjust the measured compass angle with the set deviation.
Activate the SEt menu by pressing the button three (3) times. Enter the deviation by holding the button
depressed (down) and tilting the instrument up or down. Release the button when the correct value is displayed.
• If the angle is insufficient to obtain the correct desired value, simply release the button and start over.
By repeating the operation, a deviation between -45º and 45º can be set and obtained.
To leave (terminate) the settings adjustment, briefly press the button one (1) time. The instrument will maintain
the last input values even after removing the battery.
Example: Without compensating for deviations when in Stockholm, the compass will show 0º to
magnetic north. Since the deviation is 2º degrees to true (geographical) north, this value (2º) should be
set in the settings (Set) menu. The compass will display the correct 2º.
