Baseline 12-1057 Operating Instructions Manual

DIGITAL INCLINOMETER

EASY TO USE

Range-of-motion can be read directly after the joint has been taken through its range.
Place inclinometer near the joint to be measured; set the “alternate zero”; move joint
through its range; press the “hold” button. Read range-of-motion.

absolute zero and alternate (relative) zero

absolute zero mode: when in absolute zero mode, there is no REF icon on LCD. If REF icon is

present, short press on / off / alternate zero button to enter absolute zero mode. LCD displays
angle of absolute horizontal level. If unit is rotated clockwise from absolute zero a + sign is pres­ent in front of values. If unit is rotated counterclockwise from absolute zero a - sign is present.

For absolute (horizontal zero) measurement, put the unit near the joint needed to be measured.
The inclinometer shows the angle between the inclinometer plane and the horizontal plane. Allow
the reading to settle before noting the angle.

alternate (relative) zero mode: Setting an alternate reference point allows you to set any angle
to ZERO. This new ZERO is now a reference point from which to take measurements. For in­stance, you may want a surface that is actually 25° off absolute zero (horizontal) displayed as
ZERO so you can measure all other angles relative to that benchmark. See the example below
for Relative angle measurement:

1. If the unit is in absolute zero mode, the REF icon will not appear on the LCD. Put the incli­nometer on the surface that is actually 20° off the horizontal plane. The unit reads 20°.

2. Press the on / off / alternate zero button to toggle to alternate zero mode (the icon REF is now
visible and the angle readout is now ZERO).

3. Put the inclinometer on the surface that is actually 30° off the horizontal. The “10.0°” shown
on the display is relative to the 20° off the horizontal plane.

Operating Instructions:

NOTE: If the unit has been dropped, follow calibration and set-up instructions on following page.

on / off / alternate zero button

Press once to turn the LCD display screen on. Press the button again to toggle the screen meas­urement between absolute zero and alternate (relative) zero mode. REF icon displays when unit
is operating in alternate zero mode. Long press to turn off the LCD.

hold button

If you want to lock the reading while performing a measurement, simply press the hold button
once the measurement settles. The angle reading will freeze and you can record the reading. An
H icon will appear on the LCD. You can cancel this function by pressing the hold button a sec­ond time. You will now be viewing live angle measurements. Note: changing from relative to ab­solute zero mode cannot be done when the H icon is visible.

Calibration

The digital inclinometer has been pre-calibrated at the factory. The product should only be recali­brated if it has been dropped. (see steps below)

1. Place the unit on a flat horizontal surface, press hold button and on / off / alternate zero but­ton at the same time. The calibration mode is activated and a “-1” will be displayed.

2. Press on / off / alternate zero button again, “-1-” will flash briefly. Do not move unit until “-2-”
displays.

3. Rotate unit 180 degrees in the same location and press on / off / alternate zero button, “-2-”
will flash briefly. Do not move until the unit has completed the calibration and reset the display
to the current level.
