Compass mode
Clock mode
When the laser beam is centered such that the dot on the display screen is at the
center of the crosshair, the Product's right LED turns blue.
Compass mode is the default measurement mode for horizontal machines. In
this mode, measurement points are taken at any three of the eight available
sectors.
Clock measurement mode which is the default for vertical machines, is de-
scribed in chapter 9 'Vertical shaft alignment' starting on page 107.
If coupling torsion play (backlash) is suspected, turn the shaft or coupling
end where the prism is mounted. Ensure shaft is turned in the normal rotation
direction of the machine.
