Digital Protractor
Feature Overview
The digital protractor is a revolutionary measuring tool that provides an immediate digital reading of all angles in a 360° range. The ma-
chined aluminum frame is a rigid, light weight, precise platform that allows the sensor and its microprocessor circuit to provide high
accuracy throughout the protractor’s 360° range.
The digital protractor works normally in a standard mode where the protractor’s reference displayed as 0.0°. However, alternate refer-
ence points for 0.0° can easily be set by pushing the ABS/ZERO button. You can also “freeze” any displayed angle on the LCD by push-
ing the HOLD button. The 360° range of the unit is organized into four 90° quadrants for display purposes. In each, the unit achieves an
accuracy of +/-0.0° at level and plumb with a maximum error of +/-0.1°.
The digital protractor does not need to be returned to the manufacturer or dealer for recalibration. By following instructions in this
manual, you can test and recalibrate this unit in just a couple of minutes on site and without any special fixtures.
Specifications:
Range: 360°
Resolution: 0.1°
Accuracy: +/-0.1°
Temperature: -5°C~50°C
Power: 3V, Lithium Cell
Battery Life: 500 hours
Battery
• The digital protractor is powered by a 3V Lithium Cell, model is CR2032. A new lithium cell battery (normal capacity is 210mAh) will provide 500
hours of use.
• If the battery is low, the unit will indicate this by the sign of a battery. Change the battery when this sign appears.
Operating Instructions
Angle Measuring
• To operate your protractor, simply push the ON/OFF button; it will begin displaying angle readings immediately. Set the unit on the surface to be
measured and read the angle.
• When the unit is rst turned on, “-1-” will appear on the display, which means the unit needs to be calibrated, after that, the unit can measure
angles normally. An arrow on the left side of the LCD will indicate which way to move the unit to achieve level or plumb.
• If you continue to rotate the unit, the numbers on the unit display “ip over” when the unit is upside-down, allowing for easy reading in any posi-
tion.
Key Function
HOLD
• If you need to measure angles in an unreadable position or you want to lock the reading while recording it,
simply press the HOLD button while measuring the angle (Make sure the unit has been in position and still
for 6 seconds). The readout will freeze and “HOLD” icon will appear and blink in the right side of the LCD,
you can record the reading when the icon “HOLD” stops blinking.
• While “ HOLD” feature is engaged, the ABS/ZERO cannot work. Simply press ON/OFF to turn it off, the
reading remains when you turn it on again.
• To release, press the “HOLD” button again.
ABS/ZERO
• ABS/ZERO allows two measuring modes: Standard Reference Mode and Alternate Reference Mode.
Standard Reference Mode:
If the icon “ABS” is in the display it is
in the horizontal measurement mode.
Change to relative measurement mode
by pressing ZERO button.
Change to horizontal measurement mode
by pressing ZERO button.
Alternate Reference Mode:
If the icon “ABS” is not in the display
it is in the relative measurement
mode.
