Model: SZ-08

Brand: NJTY

1. Equipment Overview

The NJTY SZ-08 is a digital angle finder designed to measure the inclination angle of an object's surface relative to the horizontal plane (also known as election angle or rolling angle). This instrument serves as a modern digital inclinometer, capable of replacing traditional bubble level meters. It is widely used in various applications such as road engineering, mechanical measurement, industrial platforms, and antenna positioning. The device can be used independently or integrated into other tools, measuring instruments, and equipment.

3. Description of Display Functions

Main Value Area (88:88):
Displays the current angle value in degrees (°).
Angle Alarm Indicator ( (CD ):
Appears when an alarm angle is set. The alarm will sound when the measured angle reaches the user-defined alarm angle. (Note: This indicator will not be displayed if the alarm function is turned off.)
Data Hold Indicator (HOLD):
When this icon is displayed, the current angle reading on the screen is locked until the data lock function is released.
Relative Mode Indicator (REL):
When this icon is displayed, the angle value shown is relative to a user-selected reference plane.
Angle Symbol (0):
Clarifies the physical meaning represented by the numerical values.
Low Voltage Display ( ):
This icon flashes to indicate that the battery is low and needs to be replaced.

4. Button Function Description

  • Power On/Off Button ( ): Used to turn the instrument on or off.
  • HOLD / Backlight Button (HOLD * ):
    • Long Press: Locks or unlocks the current displayed value.
    • Short Press: Turns the backlight on or off.
  • ALARM Button (ALARM): Activates the angle alarm function.
    • Short Press: Enter the angle alarm function. Use the HOLD and REL keys to adjust the alarm angle value. Short press ALARM again to save and exit. The instrument will emit an alarm sound when the measured angle matches the set alarm angle.
    • Double Short Press: If the device is not turned off, pressing ALARM twice will exit the angle alarm function.
  • REL Button (REL): Activates the relative measurement mode.
    • Short Press: Sets the current surface as a temporary "0-degree benchmark" for relative measurements. Press again to exit relative mode and resume normal angle measurement.

5. Basic Operation Guide

5.1 Turning On

Long press the On/Off button ( ) for approximately two seconds. The instrument will enter normal measurement mode, and you can begin measuring.

5.2 Measuring an Angle

Attach the reference surface of the instrument to the plane you wish to measure. Once the reading stabilizes, read the tilt angle from the screen.

The automatic flipping display ensures readability at any angle.

5.3 Data Retention (HOLD)

In normal measurement mode, long press the HOLD button (HOLD * ). The current reading on the screen will be locked, and the HOLD icon will appear. Long press the button again to unlock.

5.4 Relative Measurement (REL)

Place the inclinometer flat on the surface you want to use as a "reference" and short press the REL button. You will hear a "tick" sound, and the screen will display "0.00°", indicating that the current surface has been set as the benchmark. Move the inclinometer to the desired measurement location, and the screen will show the angle difference between this surface and your set reference plane.
