3.2 Encès inicial

After installing the batteries, press the ON/OFF button to power on the device. The LCD display will illuminate, showing the current angle reading.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Encès/Apagat

• Premeu el botó ON/OFF button (yellow button) to turn the inclinometer on.
• Manteniu premut el botó ON/OFF button for approximately 3 seconds to turn the inclinometer off.

4.2 Zeroing (Relative Measurement)

To set a relative zero point:

1. Place the inclinometer on the surface you wish to use as your reference (0°).
2. Premeu el botó ZERO button. The display will show "0.00°", indicating that this position is now the relative zero.
3. Move the inclinometer to measure the angle relative to this set zero point.

4.3 Absolute Measurement

The inclinometer defaults to absolute measurement mode upon power-on. In this mode, it measures the angle relative to a true horizontal plane (gravity). To switch back to absolute mode from relative mode, press the ZERO button again after setting a relative zero, or power cycle the device.

4.4 Funció de retenció de dades

To hold the current reading on the display:

• Premeu el botó MANTENIM button. The current angle reading will freeze on the screen.
• Premeu el botó MANTENIM button again to release the reading and resume live measurement.

Control de retroiluminació 4.5

The backlight automatically illuminates when the device is powered on. There is no explicit button for backlight control mentioned, but it is a key feature for visibility.

4.6 Tilt Percentage Mesura

Premeu el botó Tilt% button to switch the display between angle degrees (°) and tilt percentage (%). Press it again to toggle back.

4.7 Using the Magnetic Base

The inclinometer features a strong magnetic base on one side. This allows it to be securely attached to ferrous metal surfaces for hands-free operation and stable measurements.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Neteja

Netegeu el dispositiu amb un suau, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. While the device is IP54 rated, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.

5.2 Substitució de la bateria

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings. Refer to Section 3.1 for battery installation instructions.

5.3 Emmagatzematge

Store the inclinometer in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

6. Solució De Problemes

• Sense pantalla / El dispositiu no s'encén:
  • Comproveu si les piles estan instal·lades correctament amb la polaritat correcta.
  • Substituïu-les per piles AAA noves.
  • Ensure the ON/OFF button is pressed firmly.
• Lectures inexactes:
  • Assegureu-vos que la superfície de mesura estigui neta i lliure de residus.
  • Perform a zero calibration on a known level surface.
  • Check for strong magnetic fields nearby that might interfere with the sensor.
• Parpelleig de la pantalla:
  • Això pot indicar que la bateria està baixa. Canvieu les piles.
