against a heel
Just guessing:
The "klack" is a part with a "klack"-like shape (i.e. the shape of a shoe heel). The indicator indicates whatever it indicates based on a measurement made "against" (i.e. in relation to) that heel-like part.
My feeling is that this use of the Swedish preposition "mot", i.e. to mean "against" in this sense) is not really "correct" Swedish, but is probably modeled on the English "against", which can be used like this. (E.g. "potency of ligands correlates with affinity measured against agonist", http://molpharm.aspetjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/57/3/...
"...heel": Just a regular extension of part terms to parts (of other things) that are similar in shape and/or function:
(human) foot >> foot (of a mountain)
(human) leg >> (table) leg
