Automatic display inversion
The two displays are inverted for overhead measurements
so they are always legible.
Alignment guides
Arrows in the display show which way to turn the
spirit level to the horizontal (-15°/0 °/+ 15°) or
vertical (+75°/90°/-75°).
The acoustic alignment guide is activated /
deactivated using the "Acoustic signal" button.
If the acoustic signal is activated, the tone
sequence speeds up as the 0° or 90° position is
approached in a range of ± 2° to the horizontal
or vertical. A change in the pitch indicates that
these positions have been exceeded.
A continuous tone confirms the precise point
at which the horizontal / vertical is reached.
This is also indicated on the display with 2
"centre display" bars.
The electronic spirit level can also be aligned using the vial.
