1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF BLUECLINO
BlueCLINO is a high precision measuring instrument developed by WYLER AG in Switzerland.
BlueCLINO can be used
- as measuring instrument
Various parameters can be set and changed in the BlueCLINO like
- Measuring units
- Measuring mode
- Relative base length a.s.o. .
An RS 232 interface allows sending measuring values to a printer or a PC / Laptop.
BlueCLINO contains a ZEROTRONIC Sensor Type C. The measuring principle of the ZEROTRONIC Type
C Sensor is based on measuring a differential capacity with a pendulum which is moving between
2 electrodes. Inclining the sensor respectively the measuring instrument moves the pendulum which
changes the 2 capacities. This change of capacities is used as the primary signal for the calculation of the
inclination angle. In the BlueCLINO this primary signal is transformed into an inclination value basing on a
curve of reference points and displayed.
The system is unsusceptible to external electromagnetic influences
1.2 PREPARATION AND START-UP
PRIOR TO STARTING
Please read this manual prior to working with the BlueCLINO. You will get an overview on all the functions
and possibilities of this instrument. At the same time you get familiar with the handling of the instrument and
wrong handling and specifically the unintentional erasing of the calibration data can be avoided.
1.2.1 BATTERIES
The batteries are not inserted in the instrument during shipment. It is strongly recommended to remove the
batteries during transport.
The battery voltage is shown in the display e.g. 27(2.7 Volt)
Lowest possible battery voltage is 1.7 Volt. If the voltage drops below this value a blinking battery symbol is
shown: The batteries should then be exchanged rather soon.
2 pieces 1.5V, Size “C” ALKALINE
As an end user you are forced by law to return all used batteries and accumulators, a disposal through
household waste is prohibited.
Batteries/accumulators containing contaminants are marked with the symbol shown, which clearly indicates
the prohibition of disposal through household waste.
You can dispose of your used batteries/accumulators free of charge at the collecting points of your
community, our distribution partners or at each location selling batteries/accumulators. You thus fulfil your
legal obligation and contribute to the protection of the environment.

2.1.2 HOW TO SWITCH THE INSTRUMENT ON AND OFF
The BlueCLINO features an automatic shut off. In normal mode the instrument is automatically switched off
60 minutes after the last key operation. This automatic shut OFF function can be deactivated with a special
ON sequence or when using an external power supply
To switch ON
Keep the key pressed until the display and all LEDs are
lit and release the key. The instrument will automatically shut off
60 minutes after the last key operation.
If you keep the key pressed for more than 10 seconds
the automatic OFF function is deactivated. This is indicated by blinking
LEDs.
The instrument carries out a short function test and establishes
connections to other instruments, if any had been available before
switching off the instrument.
The instrument changes into measuring mode. The settings, which were
used prior to switching the instrument off, are reloaded.
To switch OFF
Keep the key pressed until the display disappears (about
3 seconds). All settings are kept and will be reloaded again next time the
instrument is switched on.
2.1.3 KEYS /FUNCTIONS /SHORT DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH SINGLE KEY
ON/MODE - Key
Function - 1 -
To switch the BlueCLINO ON. When for starting the key is pressed,
a grey picture will appear on the screen and all LEDs will be illuminated. After
releasing the key the BlueCLINO is switching to the measuring mode. The current
inclination is displayed in the mode and unit which was used before switching the
instrument OFF. In case of an error the respective error message is shown in the
display. The instrument will automatically shut of 60 minutes after the last key
operation.
If the key is pressed for more than 10 seconds the LEDs start
blinking and the automatic OFF function is deactivated.
Exception: If the BlueCLINO is powered an from external power supply, the
automatic OFF function is deactivated and the instrument will remain ON.
Function - 2 - To switch OFF, press the key more than 3 seconds, until the
display disappears.
Function - 3 - With the key you open the menu. Pressing the key repeatedly will
move you through the menu which is indicated by the cursor moving down to the
required function.
Function - 4 - While setting a value with the key the default value can be recalled.

ENTER – key
Function - 1 -
The key is used to confirm a chosen function or to save a value
entered
Function - 2 - While in the function "REL ZERO" or "ABS ZERO" the measuring can be started
or an ongoing measuring can be finished by pressing the key
SEND/ESC- key
Function - 1 -
The key is used to send / transmit a measuring value to a PC or to
a printer or similar output device through the RS485 port
Data format OUT port:
[sss xxxxxx sn.nnnnnn<cr>]
sss = 0 ... 255 – Continuous number
x xxxxxx = Sensor Serial Number and Type
(example: N2673L BlueCLINO )
sn.nn sn.nnnnnn = inclination in rad, e.g. +0.226349
+9.999999 -> Positive Overrange
-9.999999 -> Negative Overrange
Format of transmission:
asynchron, 7Bit, 2 Stopbits, no parity, 9600 Baud

At the same time the “frozen” value is sent to the RS 485 port to any connected
device
Function - 3 - Escape function from the menu
