HCH V1
The HCH Haglöf Clinometer Compass with Height Measuring Function is used to measure horizontal and vertical
angles. With the built-in compass, the HCH is great for forest inventories and survey work. The instrument is
rugged and durable, yet small enough to fit in your pocket. The HCH features azimuth compass 0 - 360° graduated
in 1° increments and accuracy to 2.5°. The clinometer measures -55° to +85°, graduated in 0.1° increments with
accuracy to 0.2°. The HCH is operated with one button, it has magnetic declination and is easy to calibrate. The
HCH Compass Clinometer with Height Function has an adjustable correction of local discrepancies as well as built-
in digital functions that will adjust the compass if not held horizontally. Heights can be measured from optional
distance and location in relation to the height position of the measuring object. The built-in compass function
offer better functionality and increased utility and uses a regular AA battery to operate.

- Page 2 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.
- Page 3 The instrument will compensate the compass angle up to +-10 degrees. If leaning the instrument, an image/ message will be displayed urging you to correct the position. Tilt the HCH upwards! Tilt the HCH downwards! Turn the HCH clockwise! Turn the HCH anti-clockwise! Complete the measurement by giving a short press on the button one time.
- Page 4 Note that the deviation can vary from time to time as well. Choose SEt to set the current local deviation between true north and magnetic north. The HCH will automatically correct the measured compass angle with the set deviation. Activate the SEt menu by pressing three (3) times on the button.

Page 6: 'Cal' (Calibration)
The calibration is made in the CAL menu. Press four (4) times to activate the function. Rotate the HCH instrument during 10-20 seconds at least 1-2 rotations, preferably on a plane surface free from magnetic objects. Another option is for the operator to rotate while holding and aiming with the instrument, and this method is recommended if wearing metal frame glasses. -
