FUNCTIONS
Electronic slope measurer for measuring inclinations, slopes
and plane surfaces.
Te hni al Data
Working range: 4 x 90°
Resolution: 0.1°/0.1%
Accuracy: 0° + 90° = ±0.1°; 1° - 89° = ±0.2°
Power supply: 3x AAA alkaline batteries
Operating time: 600hrs
Size: 156 x 56 x 31mm

POWER SUPPLY
Replace the batteries: Open
the battery compartment cover
and insert the batteries
(ensure correct polarity). When
replacing the batteries always
power off the instrument.
When the batteries have been replaced,
the instrument will power on
automatically.
Display indication: “GOOD”, then “-0-”.
Now a calibration must be made - see
“Check and Calibration”.
Important: If the battery symbol flashes,
the batteries need to be replaced.
FEATURES
1) Power
Power the instrument ON/OFF.
2) Hold/Illumination
Press the button short to freeze the current reading.
Press the button long to switch on/off the illumination.
3) Mode
Press the button short to select 5 different display modes
(see “Additional Functions”).
4) Cal/Sound
Press the button short to switch on/off the signal tone.
Press the button long to switch on the calibration mode (see
“Check of Calibration”)
5)Direction symbol (approaching the 0°/90° position)
6) Symbol sound on/off
7) Battery status indicator
8) Unit symbol N/FT
9) Unit symbol °/%
10) Unit symbol mm/m
IMPORTANT
Calibration of inclinometer
- before first use
- before important measurements
- after a hit or drop
- after a large fluctuation in temperature
CHEC OF CALIBRATION
Set the instrument down on a flat and even surface and
switch it on. Wait 3 seconds and note down the measured
value (A). Turn the unit by 180° and set it down on the same
position as before. Wait 3 seconds and note down the
measured value (B). If the deviation between the two values,
A and B, is more than 0.2° the unit has to be calibrated.
CALIBRATION
Set the instrument down on the same
flat and even surface, switch it on and
keep the button CAL/SOUND pressed
until the display shows “-0-”. Wait
approximately 3 seconds and press
the button CAL/SOUND again until
the display shows “-1-”. Turn the unit
by 180° and set it down on the same
position as before. Wait approximately
3 seconds and press the button CAL/SOUND again until the
display shows “-2-”. Now the calibration is completed.
MEASUREMENT OF INCLINATION
The two arrows in the display indicate in
which direction the instrument has to be
moved in order to reach the 0° or 90°
position.
The exact 0° or 90° position is shown by
double arrows.
The display has an automatic digit
inversion for overhead
measurements.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
Automatic shut-off
If no button is used for 20min the instrument will power off
automatically.
Sound
Switch the sound function on. The instrument will now
show by a sound signal if the horizontal or vertical position
approaches. The closer the position is, the denser the sound
signal will be. If the instrument is in correct vertical or
horizontal position, the sound will be continuous.
Mode functions[(1) - (5)]
1) Slope indication in ° (14.5°)
2) Slope indication in % (25.9%)
3) Indication IN/FT (3 1/8 IN/FT)
4) Indication IN/FT (3.10 IN/FT)
5) Indication mm/m (258.9mm/m)
eep the mode button pressed to have all mode functions
switch fast. The display will not show any values. Release
the mode button to return to the standard indication.
CONNECTION TO CAMERA TRIPOD
With 1/4” thread (at the bottom side) S-Digit Mini+ can be
connected to a camera tripod.
SPECIAL FEATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF 0° - 90°
0-setting in any position required:
In the range between 0° and 90° the ZERO layer can be
defined in any position.
Start the calibration function in the position required (press
CAL/SOUND longer than 3 seconds) - wait 3 seconds - press
CAL/SOUND again - wait 3 seconds - press CAL/SOUND
again - finalised.
Do not turn the S-Digit Mini+ during this process.
Now the ZERO layer is defined in the new position and the
application required can be started.
ATTENTION:
We recommend to define the ZERO layer in the horizontal
position again when you have finished your application.
Otherwise it may happen that for the following
measurements the results can be completely wrong (e.g.
when you work the next day or if another user is working
with the unit).
SAFETY NOTES
CARE AND CLEANING
Handle measuring instruments with care. Clean with soft
cloth only after any use. If necessary, damp the cloth with
some water. If the instrument is wet, clean and dry it
carefully. Pack it up only if it is perfectly dry. Transport in
original container/case only.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RESULTS
Measurements through glass or plastic windows; dirty laser
emitting windows; after the instrument has been dropped or
hit, please check the accuracy.
Large fluctuation of temperature: If the instrument will be
used in cold areas after being stored in warm areas (and
vice versa) please wait some minutes before carrying out
measurements.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ACCEPTABILITY (EMC)
It cannot be completely excluded that this instrument will
disturb other instruments (e.g. navigation systems); will be
disturbed by other instruments (e.g. intensive
electromagnetic radiation, nearby industrial facilities or radio
transmitters).
