The German version is the reference language. All other language versions are only translations. 1.4 Preamble The TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is the result of more than 70 years of experience in the conception and production of high-precision measurement equipment. It has been designed to meet the needs of a production environment and to offer its users an affordable, quick and precise way for dimensional control of small or large workpieces in workshops or laboratories.
TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is available with 3 measurement zones: ±1°, ±10°, ±60°. TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 with the measuring ranges ±10° and ±60° is available in cast iron and aluminium. The version with the measuring range ±1° is only available in cast iron and its measuring bases on the left and bottom are precisely scraped.

The TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 features an automatic shut off mechanism. In normal mode the instrument is automatically switched off 60 minutes after the last key operation. This automatic shut OFF function can be deactivated with the ON sequence described below or by using an external power supply.
ON/MODE - Key Function - 1 - To switch the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 on. When for starting the key is pressed, a grey picture will appear on the screen and all LEDs will be illuminated. After releasing the key, the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is switching to the measuring mode.
HOLD - key Function - 1 - The key serves for "freezing" a measuring value. The measured value is displayed until the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 returns to measuring mode by pressing the key SEND. Function - 2 - In the functions "REL.ZERO" and "ABS.ZERO" the key is used for reading in the actual measuring value again during the manual entering.
The lowest possible voltage is 1,7 Volt. After a further voltage drop a blinking battery symbol will appear. The batteries must then be exchanged immediately. The TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 needs 2 batteries or 2 rechargeable batteries 1,5V, LR14 "Type C".
30', 12'. The range of 12' in the bar graph is the highest possible resolution of the instrument, i.e. 5" for each pixel. In the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 High Precision the following ranges can be selected: 1°, 30', 12', 6', 3', 1'.

Value displayed = Value of the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 - “Zero-Offset” The reversal measurement described above should be repeated periodically in order to achieve a high measuring precision, particularly when the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 has not been in use for a longer period.
Instruction Manual for TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 7.3 Selection of the You can change the measuring unit of the inclination values displayed. If you start the function measuring unit / [UNIT] the list of the available measuring units will appear. With the keys UNIT you can now select the preferred measuring unit.
The key function (measuring value frozen) can be applied in all measuring modes. Put the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 on a stable support. Press now the key . While the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is waiting for a valid measuring value the display will show graphically the measuring values read in the form of a shoal of points.
REL ZERO "ZERO OFFSET", e.g. determined by a reversal measurement. The "REL ZERO OFFSET" will be stored in the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 and can be re-called again and again. When starting the next relative measurement, the REL ZERO OFFSET entered or determined the last time will be displayed. The value can either be confirmed, newly entered or set to zero.

8.9 Gravitation The inclination displayed by the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is based on the gravitation. Around the globe the gravitation is, however, not constant but it varies with the latitude and with the height above sea level. Furthermore, variations of the density in the lithosphere cause additional local deviations.
