Angle Measurement; Measuring An Angle; Resetting The Horizontal Angle To - Pentax R-315EX(NX) Instruction Manual

5. ANGLE MEASUREMENT

5.1 Measuring an angle

Aim at the first target, then press [F3] [0 SET]
twice in succession to reset the
horizontal angle to 0.
Aim at the second target,
then read the horizontal angle.
Pressing [F4] [DISP] displays the vertical angle.
• The [0 SET] key cannot reset the vertical angle to 0.
• Pressing the [DISP] key cycles through the sets of display items:"H.angle/H.dst./V. dst." ,
"H angle/V.angle/S.dst." , and "H.angle/V. angle/H.dst./S.dst./V.dst." .
• Even though you turn the power off during a survey, the horizontal angle displayed
last time is saved, so that it is restored when the power is turned on next time.
• When the restored horizontal angle is not necessary, reset it to 0.

5.2 Resetting the horizontal angle to 0

Pressing [F3] [0 SET] twice in succession
resets the horizontal angle to 0° 0' 0".
• The [F3] [0 SET] cannot reset the vertical angle to 0.
• Pressing the [F3] [0 SET] accidentally during measurement does not reset the
horizontal angle to 0 unless you press it again. Once the buzzer stops sounding,
you can go to the next step.
• You can reset the horizontal angle to 0 any time except when it has been held.
