Introduction
The Silva Clinometer is a versatile instrument designed for accurately measuring angles in various applications, particularly for vehicles. It features two distinct scales for precise readings: a primary scale covering ±35° and a fine-tuning scale for angles up to ±5°. This device is ideal for monitoring the heeling angle on sailing boats, checking power-trim on powerboats, and ensuring equipment or vehicles maintain a desired level or angle.
What's in the Box
- Silva Clinometer (Model 35188-901)
Setup
The Silva Clinometer is designed for easy installation on various surfaces, such as dashboards or bulkheads. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and stable before installation. Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to secure the clinometer firmly in place. Position the clinometer so that the scales are clearly visible and the device can freely measure the angle of inclination.
Operating Instructions
The Silva Clinometer provides angle measurements using two distinct scales. For angles up to ±5 degrees, refer to the top, more precise scale for detailed readings. For larger angles, up to ±35 degrees, use the lower scale. The internal mechanism will automatically adjust to display the current angle of inclination. Ensure the clinometer is mounted securely and is free from obstructions to allow accurate movement of the internal indicator.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Silva Clinometer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the casing or the display.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting for security. Ensure the internal mechanism moves freely and is not obstructed by dust or debris.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the clinometer in a dry, protected environment to prevent damage from extreme temperatures or moisture.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Silva Clinometer, consider the following:
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Verify the clinometer is mounted on a stable, level surface (when the vehicle/equipment is intended to be level).
- Check for any physical obstructions preventing the internal mechanism from moving freely.
- Ensure the device is not exposed to strong magnetic fields, which could interfere with its operation.
- Indicator Stuck:
- Gently tap the device to dislodge any minor obstructions.
- Inspect for physical damage or debris inside the display area. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
