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.

2.2 DISPLAY
The BlueCLINO features various graphic displays which can be scaled according to the requirements of the
measuring task. Also the background colour and the brightness of the display can be adjusted.
2.2.1 SCALING OF THE DISPLAY
For an optimal use of the graphic display, you have various options for scaling.
With the linear scaling the display precision remains constant over the full range. With the keys
the resolution can be changed. Thus also the range being displayed will be changed.
The following ranges can be selected, whereas certain restrictions may be possible depending on the
display type: 60°, 45°, 20°, 10°, 5°, 2°, 1°, 30', 12'. The range of 12' in the bar graph is the highest possible
resolution of the instrument, i.e. 5" for each pixel.
With the logarithmic scaling the display precision around Zero is the highest and it is reduced continuously
with higher inclination values. Around Zero the resolution corresponds to the unit selected.
In the adjustments of the instrument you can switch between linear and logarithmic scaling.
Using the key select the menu point [Optionen] and
confirm with . Select now [Logscale] and confirm with

3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BLUECLINO
The BlueCLINO offers a wide range of functions and adjustment possibilities. The list of functions appears
when the key is pressed. With the keys the desired function can be
selected and with it will be started. If during 10 seconds no further key is operated, the
function list will be left. With the key a function selected can be abandoned. Already
entered changes of parameters will be rejected and the BlueCLINO will return to the previously used
display mode.
Here after the single functions will be described.
3.1 "ZERO-SETTING"/ABSOLUTE ZERO
Absolute ZERO means that the instrument shows the measuring value "0" if the measuring surface of the
instrument is aligned exactly according to gravity (true horizontal or true vertical).
3.1.1 SET ABSOLUTE ZERO (WITH A REVERSAL MEASUREMENT)
The absolute zero is used as the base for absolute inclination measurements. In order to achieve the best
possible precision please observe that the measuring object (support) and the BlueCLINO have the same
temperature and that the instrument is in operation for several minutes before starting a measurement.
Mark the precise position and particularly the direction of the BlueCLINO in order to be able to turn the
instrument by 180 degrees and to put it in opposite direction at the very same spot.
The absolute zero will be determined from a reversal
measurement (two measurements in opposite direction
but at the same spot). Use fort his procedure an adequate
surface (rigid and stable support, as flat as possible and
as horizontal as possible), where you put the BlueCLINO.
Mark the position and the direction of the BlueCLINO
precisely and turn it on the same spot by 180 degrees.
The "ZERO-OFFSET" will be stored in the BlueCLINO
EXAMPLE:
With the key select the menu item [Abs ZERO] and
confirm this selection with .
In the display the position of the instrument for the first measurement
will be shown.
Put the BlueCLINO to the first position and press the key
for reading the first measuring value. Alternatively the
first measuring value can also be entered with the zapper.

page 20 of 84 pages
During the measurement the display will graphically show the current
measurement.
Confirm the first measurement with the key or with the
zapper. After 15 seconds the value will automatically be read.
After a successful reading of the first measuring value the position of
the instrument for the second measurement will appear in the display.
Put the BlueCLINO now to the second position (turn the instrument by
180 degrees in the horizontal) and press the key again
for reading the second measuring value. Alternatively the second
measuring value can also be entered with the zapper.
During the measurement the display will graphically show the current
measurement.
Confirm the second measurement with the key or with
the zapper. After 15 seconds the value will automatically be read.
After termination of the reversal measurement the display for the actual
measurement under consideration of the ZERO OFFSET will appear
on the screen.
Notice:
The value of the "ZERO OFFSET" determined by a reversal measurement corresponds to the deviation of
the zero point of the BlueCLINO compared to the absolute Zero (gravity). The displayed measuring value
corresponds to
VALUE displayed =
Value of the BlueCLINO minus "ZERO OFFSET"
The reversal measurement described above should be repeated periodically in order to achieve a high
measuring precision, particularly when the BlueCLINO has not been in use for a longer period.
