Activates the compass
mode.
In order to use the compass mode
we recommend you to use a hand-
held compass with 360° rotatable Hz
circle and incorporated V circle, e.g.
RECTA DP6 or SILVA Ranger 15 /
25.
Compass mode is suitable for
aligning the TPS1100 over longer
distances.
To establish the link between
TPS1100 and compass, proceed as
follows:
Step 1:
Perform the Hz orientation on the
TPS1100.
Step 2:
Turn the TPS1100 until Hz shows
0.000 (irrespective of the angle units
being used).
Step 3:
Look into the telescope of the
TPS1100 and select a prominent
target.
Step 4:
Aim the compass at the same promi-
nent target and turn the Hz circle of
the compass until the compass
needle is at 0° or at N (north). Do
not turn the Hz circle again.
