1. Only press [/] Button (Calibration/Zero) during calibration or zero setting. Pressing at any other
time will cause inaccurate measurements.
2. When battery is replaced, power will automatically turn on. This is normal operation; to turn off press the
[ON/OFF] Button.
3. Do not drop or subject to shock as it may cause poor accuracy.
4. The bottom of the instrument contains magnets, please keep from keep away from sensitive items such
as computers, watches, compass, etc. as it may cause a malfunction.
5. Do not disassemble instrument under any circumstances.
For angle about 22 beyond 90 , Display will automatically flip to make it easier to read. (Display value of
about 68 )
Please use care when taking measurement to avoid misreading display. (Figure:11)
After the display flips, to return to original
direction, move back toward starting angle. For
angle about 22 beyond 90 in the other
direction, display will return to original
orientation.
(Display value around 68 ) (Figure:12)
If position does not exceed 90 , the display will
not flip.
DIGITAL PROTRACTOR
Model No.:DP
-
90G EX
This angle gauge uses a liquid sensor to measure
the angle of inclination of the instrument.
The change in liquid level is converted to a
corresponding electrical signal and displayed on
the LCD.
Angle can be measured as: degree ( ), percent
slope (%), or gradient (mm/M).
Display will automatically flip if gauge is upside
down for easy reading of overhead
measurements.
Audible beep feature when measurement is: 0 ,
90 , 0%, or 0 mm/M.
Back-light feature for reading in low light areas.
Press the [ ] Button (Light) and Back-light
will turn on for approx. 1 min.
Hold Button to allow reading when display is
inaccessible. Press [ ] Button (Hold)
and display reading will hold.
V-Groove base for measuring cylindrical
surfaces. Also, Base has four magnets for
vertical or overhead measurements on steel.
Thank you for purchasing the Digital Protractor.
Please read this manual thoroughly before use for proper operation.

1. Make sure Base Reference Surface is clean and free of adhered
contamination or dents.
2. Press the [ON/OFF] Button to turn on, and check icon to confirm
proper units (, %, mm/M).
Horizontal Accuracy Check (Figure:1)
3. Place gauge on a horizontal surface and turn on the power. After
display has stabilized, rotate 180 at the same position. When display
is stabilized, the reading should be same as before to confirm
accuracy.
(If readings are withing normal range of instrument error of 0. 3 )
Vertical Accuracy Check (Figure:2)
4. Place gauge on a vertical surface with display side up, and turn on
the power. After display has stabilized, rotate gauge 180 in
horizontal direction at the same position, keeping the display on the
upper portion. When display is stabilized, the reading should be
same as before to confirm accuracy.
(If readings are withing normal range of instrument error of 0. 3 )
If accuracy checks, gauge is ready to take measurements.
Calibration is required if accuracy check error is greater than 0. 4 , or under certain conditions:
If instrument is subject shock or vibration, or large changes in temperature.
If battery is removed, as when gauge is not used for a long time.
Full calibration procedure of steps 1 to 17 below must be performed. Follow the figures, and us the display UP text as a guide.
Zero Point can be set at any angle of inclination.
1. At desired angle, wait for display to stabilize and press the [ ]
Button (Display Hold).
2.
When the display blinks, press the [/] Button (Calibration/Zero).
This angle is now set as zero.
3. Press [ ] Button (Display Hold) again to cancel this setting.
