tion allows for a vertical tilt compensation of +/- 60°
and a horizontal tilt compensation of +/- 45°.
Measuring distance or height using the tilt
angle
At the same time, the tilt sensor can be used to measure
the inclination angle in degrees. This can be used to
calculate the approximate distance to remote objects or
the approximate height of an object by using the rule of
three calculation. Some factors must be known to use
the following calculations which are often indicated on
navigational maps or can be determined using other
devices or sources of information.
Determining distance
The height of an object must first be known:
object height (m) x 100
inclination angle
Determining height
The distance to the object must first be known:
distance (m) x inclination angle
100
= distance (m)
= height (m)
Setting the brightness of the LED display
While in tilt mode (TLT), push the On / Off button (10)
once. You will now see „SET LED" in the display. There
are 5 levels of brightness of which level 1 (1mA) is the
darkest and level 5 (60mA) the brightest. By pushing
the navigation buttion (3) up or down, you can choose
your desired level of brightness. Pushing the On / Off
button (10) once will save your setting and bring you
back to the tilt mode. Turning the mode dial to the right
will take you to the digital barometer.
