Introducing the
Dimension Master Plus
The Dimension Mas ter Plus (v2.0) is a high-tech
measuring tool that uses the late st in ultrasonic
technology. This tapeless measure and calculator
allows you to take quick and accurate measurements wi th the touch of a button. You can measur e
a single room in se conds or a whole building in
minutes. The Dimension Master Plus features in-
clude:
™
A special Aim Assist
•
ultrasonic beam alignme nt,
A built-in dimensional calculator that allows
•
pointer lamp simplifying
calculations and storage of measured values,
Easy dimensional conversions using the “Con-
•
vert” function key,

Background
How It Works
Using a patented TriSensor Technology™, the Dimension Master Pl us sends out a n inaudible, nar-
row ultrasonic beam of so und that bounces off the
“target” surface and returns to the unit as an echo.
The Dimension Mas ter Plus then determines how
long the echo took to return and calculates a linear
distance reading, while internally compensating for
variables such as temperature. Unlike other ultrasonic measuring devices, the beam stays extremely
narrow as it travels from the Dime nsion Maste r
Plus. This exceptionally narrow beam allows you
to measure through doorways, down corridor s and
in crowded rooms or offices for room-to-room
measurements.
To aid in accurate measuring, the Aim Assist
™
pointer lamp enables you to pinpoint the center of
the ultrasonic beam, thus avoiding interference
from obstacles or clutter in your path.

Battery Information
When you first receive your Dimension Master
Plus, you will need to remove the plastic tab sticking out of the battery compartment before you use
it. 4 AAA Alkaline batteries are used to po wer the
Dimension Master Plus. If a “lo batt” reading appears on the display, the batteries ne ed to be replaced by r emoving the door on the back of the
unit. The unit will continue to operate for approximately 2 hours after the low battery indication. For
®
best results, use DURACELL
AAA (MN2400)
batteries.

Feet/Inch or Metric Switch
For your convenience, a switch on the left side of
the unit allows you to set the m easureme nt mode to
either the English/Im perial Feet-Inch (F/I) system
or to the Metric (Met) system.
Aim Assist™ Pointer Lamp
The Aim Assist™ pointer lamp is designed for
many years of servi ce under norma l ope ration.
Should the bulb burn out, please contact the manufacturer for replace ment details.
Display Accuracy
The Dimension Mas ter Plus has an eleven-digit
display. This is made up of seven dig its for the
normal display and four digits for the fractional
display. In a standard calculation, the calculation is
carried out to a 10-digit internal accuracy, and then
rounded to a 7-dig it standard display using a 5/4
rounding.
Automatic Shutoff
The Dimension Mas ter Plus is designed to shut it-
se lf off after approximately 7 minutes of non-use.
Any value shown on the display is cleared at this
point. All values stored in the memory re gisters remain unchange d.
None/Erro r M essages
If the Dimension Mas ter Plus is unable to measure
a distance, two beeps sound a nd either the word
³'
,0(16,210$67(53/86
“none ” or “Error” is displayed, de pending on the
measurement situation. The unit will also display
“Error” if you make an incorrect entry, try to perform invalid dimensional calculations (i.e., adding
areas and volumes together) or the resulting answer
is beyond the range of the calculator. “Error” will
also appear if you enter a mathematical impossibility, such as division by zero.
There is no need to clear the “none” or “Error”
message. The next valid measurem ent or keystroke
automatically clears the display. The “none” or
“Error” message will not clear previously stored
values from memory.
Key Functions
[On]
On/Clear Entry Key — Turns power on. Pressed
once clears the last entry and display. Pressing
the me asure ment button will also turn the unit

Measuring Beam Modes
One of the most important new features of the Dimension Master Pl us (v2.0) is the addition of three
different measuring bea m modes:
Normal Mode
is the default setting and can
be used for most m easuring situations.
Narrow Mode
is used for higher accuracy
within a confined space (narrow hallways, corridors, etc.) or when there is a need to eliminate interferenc e fr om surrounding objects (such as bo okshelves, lam ps, e tc.). Since this mo de is essentially
using a smaller beam area, this method requires
careful alignme nt of the measuring beam.
Wide Mode
is used when walls are not parallel to one another or the alignment of the measuring beam is difficult. If there are several or large
objects/obstructions in the measuring beam path,
you may have difficulty obtaining accurate measurements using Wide Mo de.
[Rcl] [=] displays the current Beam Mode se tting .
[Convert] [=] is used the change the setting. The
first press changes to the next Beam Mode setting
and shows it to the left of the LCD display. Repea ted pr ess es of the [=] key toggle throug h the
Beam Mode se tting s. Pre ss any ke y, other than [=],
to select a desired Beam Mode once that mode has
been displayed on the LCD display .
