| The main modes of the
Vector wristop computer are altimeter, barometer, compass and time.
The
ergonomic design of the Vector, with a large display and convenient
control buttons, makes it easy to use even in the hardest conditions.
The Vector can be set to show information in imperial or metric units.
It has an electroluminescent backlight and a user-replaceable battery.
The clear logic of the user interface makes Vector a real forerunner on
the mountains. Measure your vertical performance
The altimeter features a range up to 9 000 m/ 29 500 ft, which puts all
14 of the world’s 8000+ meter summits within the avid climber’s
range. Vector features an altitude difference measurement function for
following vertical progress between stages. It has an automatic 24-hour
memory that stores altitude and ascent/descent rate for every hour.
It
also features an adjustable altitude alarm and different memory
functions. With the logbook function you can record total and cumulative
vertical ascents and descents, as well as the number of runs skied.
Keep ahead of the storm
The Vector displays the current barometric pressure and temperature,
which is valuable information for forecasting the weather changes.
The
Vector automatically records barometric data for the past four days
: the
first six hours in one-hour intervals and after that in six-hour
intervals. When the reference altitude is correctly set, the instrument
also shows the present sea level pressure, which makes it easier to read
and understand the barometric pressure at high altitudes. However, when
on tour on the mountains, don’t forget that the detected barometric
pressure changes when you are moving in the vertical direction. This
makes tracing of weather changes more complicated.
Accurate readings
The electronic compass has a bubble level for accurate readings. In a
horizontal position, when the liquid bubble of the level is centered,
the Vector is able to give bearings with 3- degree-accuracy. Other
information shown in the compass mode are the cardinal or half-cardinal
point and the North-South arrow. The compass can also be set to track a
certain bearing, which helps following of the chosen direction in the
terrain. The declination adjustment function allows the user to correct
the difference between true North and magnetic North.
A reliable time keeper
In addition to the different outdoor-related functions, the Vector also
displays normal time. It has three daily alarms, a calendar programmed
to the year 2089, and a stopwatch with split time measurement and a
countdown timer. The time can be shown in 12 or 24 hour format. |
