TO USE
Maintain both eyes open when measuring. One eye reads the display and the
other eye monitors the measuring object/surrounding. After only a short time this
way to work will feel comfortable, and the advantage is that you can avoid
measuring the wrong tree height for example.
FUNCTION
Select function by pressing the button a number of times according to the below:
BATTERY
HCH uses one standard AA (LR6) battery to operate. A warning is displayed if the battery is weak and goes below
1.0V. The warning comes up as a text message (BAt) for a short second when turning on the HCH.
DISTANCE AND HEIGHT MEASURING
The HCH uses the factual distance from the measuring point (the eye) to the lower
part of the measuring object. You will not have to state any horizontal distance.
Register the distance by pressing the button and tilting the instrument up and down. Release the button when
you have reached a desired value. If the angle is too narrow to obtain the value you need, simply release the
button and start over. By repeating until you reach the desired value, an optional distance from 0 to 999m/ft can
be set. Note that the HCH instrument does not measure distances! The more accurate the input distance value,
the more accurate the height measuring results. The distance can be measured with a measuring tape, a thread
meter or an ultrasound measuring device, please visit
www.haglofsweden.com
for different models.
Complete the distance registration with a short button press. Last input value remains in the HCH instrument
memory.
Measure the angle to the lower part of the measuring object by aiming with the two
horizontal lines in the display. Press the button.
