SETUP
All settings to measure heights, distances and angles and BAF Factors are made in
the SETUP menu. Choose between metric or feet, degrees or percentage, pivot
offset, transponder height and manual distance.
Start the Vertex III by pressing ON. Press any of the arrow keys and ON to go to
settings. Step to the parameter using ON and change values with the arrow keys.
METRIC/FEET
Choose if height and distance values should be featured in
METRIC or
FEET
. Shift
with the arrow keys and confirm your choice with ON.
DEG/GRAD/%
Select Angle unit as Deg (degrees 0.360), GRAD (gradients 0..400) or %
(percentage) by pressing the arrow keys. Confirm by pressing ON.
P.OFFSET (Pivot Offset)
Change the value with the arrow keys and
confirm your choice with ON. The value is
shown in Metric/Feet
The”Pivot offset” is equal to the distance
between the front side of the instrument to the
aimed point where the prolonging of the sight
line from the transponder and the top of the tree coincide.
The imagined point is located somewhere behind your neck and the value
should in normal cases be set to 0,3 m (1.0 feet).
Since the Vertex III will presume that the transponder T3 is placed directly
under the aimed height of the measuring object (when the object is equal
to a tree), a half of the objects diameter should be added to the Pivot
Offset. This compensates for the diminishment of the tree top. When
measuring tree heights, it is recommended to add half the average
diameter in the area, for improved accuracy.
T.HEIGHT (Transponder height)
Change the value with the arrow keys and confirm with ON. The value is set in
metric/feet.
T.HEIGHT
is the height where the transponder is set, the reference
height for the measuring unit. The Vertex III adds the preset T HEIGHT to the
measured height. Normal breast height value is set to 1,3 m (4.5 ft).
