Tilt Sensor
A built-in tilt sensor ensures that measurements relate to true horizon or true
plumb line, defined by gravity. The tilt is checked by a tilt sensor and the
instrument levels itself if the tilt is < 3°.
If 3D Disto cannot be levelled the
☞
Level the 3D Disto or cancel the levelling procedure.
For advanced users only:
☞
If the tilt sensor is OFF the system does not compensate the tilt of
the 3D Disto. All results that refer to a physically horizontal plane, for
example tilt, height differences, horizontal distances, angles, areas,
or volumes, now refer to the tilted horizon of the laser unit. Only the
tie distance between two measured points is independent of the tilt
sensor's setting. It can be useful to disable the tilt sensor in case of
vibrations, for example on construction sites or in unstable or moving
environments such as on boats. Almost all measurements can still be
completed and exported data can be "levelled" afterwards by CAD
software.
