INDESTRUCTABLE SINCE 1894

At Brunton, we come to work with a clear vision: remove any obstacles that stand between our customers and their passion to stay outdoors. It's been this way since 1894, when D.W. Brunton created the now legendary Pocket Transit a compact, precision compass that continues to give outdoorsman the confidence to push beyond the beaten path. Today, this spirit of indestructible innovation lives in the form of professional-grade solutions as tough and diverse as the rugged Rocky Mountains that we've called our laboratory for over 125 years. Our goal is to build products as tough as the people who get to use them and to allow these users to push themselves and our products to extend their adventure.

BALANCE | INCLINATION

Earth's vertical magnetic field has a tendency to incline compasses and therefore instruments are balanced against the magnetic inclination for the location of use. This allows the card to rest horizontally and move without hindrance. Since the balance is made in production, the location of use should correspond to the particular balance of that OmniSight model. Designations for equatorial zones are -ME and for Southern zones are -MS. Northerly zones have no designation in the part number.

DECLINATION

OmniSight compasses are adjusted at the factory to magnetic north with 1/2° precision. Geographic North differs from magnetic North based upon your location on the globe. Bearing obtained with the compass should be corrected with the local declination or variance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

View through the optical lens and aim at your target object or direction of travel. With both eyes open, the hairline can be seen to 'stand up' from the compass housing making it easy to accurately read the correct bearing toward the object due to optical illusion. (see figure 1). You can focus the lens on your desired scale by turning the eyepiece. Choose between different scales based on the labels in figure 1.

Bearings can also be taken using the OmniSight as an auxiliary compass, but greater accuracy is always achieved when using the optical sighting system. Simply level the compass in position to view the dial from above and read the bearing at the lubber line.

FIGURE 1

CAUTION

Some users who suffer from an eye condition called heterophoria (misalignment of the eye axis) may get incorrect bearing when reading the compass with both eyes. This can be checked as follows: take a bearing to an object with both eyes open. Then close the eye not sighting through the compass. If the bearing does not shift or change dramatically, there is no heterophoria and bearings can be taken with both eyes open.

PLOTTING LOCATION

Aim at two fixed landmarks that likewise are distinguishable on a map/chart for example the lighthouse at direction 20° and landmark at 330° (as pictured in figure 2). Then draw straight lines along the reverse bearings of 20° and 330° ( 200° and 150° ) from the lighthouse and the landmark on the chart. The intersection point of these lines indicates your location. Your distance from above mentioned fixed points can be determined either from measuring on the chart or with trigonometric calculations.
