How to Use the Vertex III 

HEIGHT 

Height measuring can be performed in different ways depending on type of 
surroundings and operation. Heights, distance and angles can be transferred to 
for example the Digitech Professional Caliper or other computer device for 
storage/processing with IR by pressing right arrow key. For height measuring, 
the 3 last measured heights with angle and distance can be transferred. 

 

Height measuring with transponder 

Start the transponder T3 and place it on/towards the object to measure. 

Note that the 

transponder should be placed at the T.HEIGHT /(transponder height) that has been 
set in the settings menu. 

Walk a suitable distance from the object – for optimal result 

accuracy, a distance equal to the approximate height. 

1. 

Press ON to start the Vertex and aim at the transponder. Keep pressing ON until 
the cross hair sight goes out momentarily. Now release ON. The Vertex has 
measured the distance, the angle and the horizontal distance to the transponder.

 

2. 

Aim at the height to measure with the sight cross blinking. Press ON until the 
cross hair disappears. The first height is locked and displayed. Repeat until all 
heights on the object are measured.

 

 

Height Measuring without the Transponder  

Height measuring without the transponder can be performed in two ways, both using 
manual distance (M.DIST). 

Note that aiming must be made on the same height as 

the preset T.HEIGHT. 

 

1.  Press ON to start the Vertex III and 

HEIGHT

 is displayed.  

2.  A quick press on ON and 

M.DIST

 is featured. Change this value if incorrect, 

using the arrow keys. Press ON when the value is set and the angle window is 
featured.  

3.  Aim at the height that T.HEIGHT is set to and press ON until sight cross 

disappears. Release ON. The Vertex displays the angle and the horizontal 
distance to T.HEIGHT. 

4. 

Aim at the height you wish to measure with the cross hair blinking. Keep pressing 
ON until the cross disappears. The first height is displayed. Repeat until all 
heights on the object are measured (see above).
