Haglöf Vertex 5 Hypsometers with Transponder T4 ²⁵

The best-selling Haglöf instrument system for tree heights in the forest!

Vertex is many foresters’ preferred choice of instrument to perform precision height, angle and distance measurements in the forest. The Vertex 5 can be used in dense vegetation and undergrowth.

The new Vertex 5, an ultrasound instrument system is a true 'work horse' that will hand you accurate and reliable measurement results in most forest terrains and conditions. This is also the best Haglöf selling instrument and the professional foresters' preference for accurate height, distance and horizontal distance measuring.

- Ultrasound distance measuring - great accuracy and proven reliability in the forest.
- Works in dense vegetation.
- Audible beep signal for measuring results.
- Low battery consumption.
- Reference users worldwide.
- BAF function.
- Bluetooth® and IR transmitter.

The Vertex 5 is delivered with a lanyard and in an aluminum safety and transport case.

Vertex 5 360° package/set incl. Vertex 5 instrument, transponder T3, plot staff and adapter. Vertex 5 60° package/set incl. Vertex 5 measuring instrument, transponder T3. Vertex 5 measuring instrument only also available.

Distance

With the well proven ultrasound measurement method and a high-visibility cross hair sight, the Vertex 5 offers accurate distance readings also in thick undergrowth.

The ultrasound method works great in sample plot surveys, for distances up to approx. 30m/98ft, in dense forests and where there are difficulties to target. Sample Plots with Ultrasound.

Heights

Fast and accurate two-point measurement with the Vertex 5 system.

Fasten the T3 transponder to the tree at any height, walk a distance of your choice and measure as many heights on each object as you wish, with the four last measured heights shown in the display.

1. Aim at the transponder, press the button and read the distance to the object.
2. Aim to the height you want to measure, press the button and read the height on the Vertex instrument display.

Angle

Measure slope in the terrain and have it presented to you in degrees, grads and percentage.

Plot Radius

In sample plot inventory work it is important to use the correct radius measurement.The ultrasound method is very suitable for this application.

BAF- Basal Area Factors

Working with factor gauge or prisms can be difficult when some trees cover others in the forest. Poor sighting can prevent a correct diameter measuring.

With the Vertex 5 built in BAF function, the minimum tree diameter for trees to be included in the plot can be featured.

0.5, 1 to 9 (m2/ha) or 5, 10, 15..to 50 (ft2/acre). Vertex 5 can be used in dense vegetation and undergrowth.

Communication

Communicate with IR or Bluetooth. Transfer values to the MD II or DP II calipers, or other handheld units with HAGLOF data format.
