Calculated Industries 4067 User Manual

he Construction Master Plus EZ (CMP EZ) is the newest in

Calculated Industries′ line of award-winning Construction Master Plus construction-math calculators. The big difference between the CMP EZ and the other models is that, in addition to many more built-in calculations, the CMP EZ is a Prompting Calculator.

With a Prompting Calculator, you select a function and then scroll through a series of prompts for quantities, measurements, placement, materials and other possible inputs. After entering the inputs, you can

then

scroll through all the available calculations and solutions. You

can also change an input (or multiple inputs) and then re-solve the problem, instantly seeing how the new entry changes calculations without having to re-enter the entire problem.

The Construction Master Plus EZ has Basic and Advanced solutions (lengths, angles, quantities, etc.) for these construction calculations:

● Rafters

● Hip/Valley Rafters

● Jack Rafters

● Stairs

Other solutions include

● Square-Ups, Areas and Volumes

● Circular

● Arcs

● Rake Walls

● Arch Studs

● Balusters ─ Cap Wall and Open Wall

● Elliptical Arches

● Crown Molding

● Compound Angles

● Polygons

● Spacing

● Material Calculations for Blocks, Drywall, Fencing, Footings, Pavers, Roong, Studs, Tile and Grout

USinG the ConStrUCtion MaSter PlUS eZ

The Construction Master Plus EZ is a Prompting Calculator. To use it you simply select a function and then scroll through a series of prompts for quantities, measurements, placement, materials and other possible inputs. After entering the inputs, you can then scroll through all the available calculations and solutions. You can also change an input (or multiple inputs) and then re-solve the problem, instantly seeing how the new entry changes calculations without having to re-enter the entire problem.

You can also use the input prompts and go directly to the solution.

AUTO SHUT-OFF AND AUTO SHUTDOWN

The LCD display on your calculator is designed to shut off after 4 minutes of non-use. If the display powers off, just press the back on. All values are maintained. Your most recent entry will be displayed and you can scroll through or continue to enter values for the same calculation you were working on before the display shut off. After 4 hours of non-use, the calculator will shut down and all temporary settings and values are cleared.

U.S. AND METRIC MODES

The Construction Master Plus EZ can be used in either U.S. Mode (the calculator’s default setting), which uses inches, or Metric Mode, which uses millimeters, as a basis for entries and calculations. To change the Mode, go to Preferences, using the Extras function (

Note: Within Preferences, there is a setting for Riser Height that determines which type of calculation will be used. The default is Target Riser Height.

• Target Riser Height: Use this setting to get a stair calculation that will get as

close to the stored Riser Height as possible. The calculated Actual Riser Height will either be shorter or taller than the Target Riser Height.

• Maximum Riser Height: This is used when local building codes prohibit risers

greater than this value. The calculated Actual Riser Height will not exceed the Maximum Riser Height.
