Instruccions de funcionament
Basic Compass Use (Taking a Bearing)
- Open the Compass: Fully open the compass so the lid with the sighting mirror is perpendicular to the base.
- Level the Compass: Place the compass on a flat surface or hold it steadily. Use the integrated bubble level to ensure the compass is perfectly horizontal. The liquid-filled dial will help stabilize the needle.
- Orient to North: Rotate the compass until the North arrow on the needle aligns with the "N" (0/360 degrees) mark on the dial.
- Take a Sighting: Look through the sighting wire on the lid and align it with your target. Simultaneously, observe the reflection of the compass dial in the sighting mirror.
- Read the Bearing: The degree mark on the dial that aligns with the sighting wire in the mirror indicates the bearing to your target.
Using the Clinometer (Measuring Slope)
- Position the Compass: Hold the compass on its side, aligning the base edge with the slope you wish to measure.
- Level the Clinometer: Ensure the compass is stable. The clinometer's pendulum will swing freely.
- Llegeix l'angle: Once the pendulum settles, read the angle indicated on the clinometer scale. This represents the angle of inclination or declination.

Manteniment
- Neteja: Wipe the compass with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp drap i sabó suau i, a continuació, eixugueu-ho bé. Eviteu productes de neteja o dissolvents abrasius.
- Emmagatzematge: Store the compass in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. Keep it in its protective case if one is provided.
- Evitar l'impacte: While robust, avoid dropping the compass or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can affect its precision.
- Comproveu els cargols: Periodically check and gently tighten any loose screws, especially those related to the clinometer or hinges, to maintain stability and accuracy.
Resolució de problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Compass needle is sluggish or sticky. | Exposure to extreme temperatures; internal fluid issues; proximity to magnetic interference. | Move away from magnetic objects. Allow compass to return to ambient temperature. If issue persists, contact support. |
| Lectures inexactes. | Not level; magnetic interference; damaged needle. | Ensure compass is perfectly level using the bubble level. Move away from electronic devices or metal objects. Inspect needle for damage. |
| Clinometer pendulum is loose or unstable. | Loose fastening screw. | Gently tighten the screw securing the clinometer pendulum. |
