INTRODU CTION
The Ultra Scale Master
has been specifi cally
designed to simplify
take-offs for all fi elds
of construction. Use it
for estimating project
materials and costs, for
measuring, storing and
calculating perimeters,
areas, and volumes from
architectural plans and
other types of scaled
drawings. Also , use the
Ultra Scale Master to
calculate the area of
irregular shapes.

GETTING STARTED
Once assem bly and se tup are complete, proceed with the following ste ps in
order to begin measuring.
1. When placing the bar s and securi ng the drawing, make sur e that the
bars are at least 1" from the outermost me a surements.
2. It is essential that the bars rema in fi xed r el at ive to the drawing’s
position. Scrib e a line to mark the initial location of the bars a s a
reference point should t he bars shift.
3. The Puck should maintain a 45° angle with in the bars while me a suring.
4. Ensure that the measuring surface is fl at and smooth. Make sure there
are no folds, tears, or raise d areas of the plans.
5. Make sure there ar e no ob jects between the Puc k and the bars. Thi s
includes hands, arms, pencils or pens, cups, scale rulers, etc.
6. Make sure th at no air current is blowing d irectly into the measuring
area. Air blowi ng into the measuri ng path c an result in no
measureme nt re ad ing.
7. To get accurate measurements, make sur e that the Puck and the ba r s are
close to the a mbient temperat ure of the work environment.

KEY DEFINITIONS
MEASURING KEYS
The keys shown are u s ed
for taking measurements on
the blueprint and operat ing
the display.
[END]
Ends polyli ne measurement,
displaying t he tot al perimeter.
[CLOSE —]
Completes the polygon and
displays the calculated area.
Results are identifi ed as negative
values. When measuring a
polygon, this key connects the last
measured point to the start point.
10 — ULTRA SCALE MASTER
®
[ON/CLEAR]
Turns the unit ON and clears
the display. Holding down t he
[ON/CLEAR] key for 1.5 seconds
also powers the unit off.
[CLOSE +]
Completes the polygon
and displays the calcu lated
area. Results ar e identi fie d
as positive values. When
measuri ng a polygon, thi s key
connect s t he last me asu re d
point to the sta rt poi nt.
[MEASURE]
Takes a measurement
between points.
Important Notes
regarding the
[ON/ CLE AR] key:
If [ON/CLEAR] is pressed
dur ing measurement,
the last meas ured point
is undone and t he
previous measur e me nt i s
displayed. A second press
of [ON/CLEAR] ends the
measurement (as if the
[END] key was pre s s e d)
and clears the main display .
Additionally, if a n error
message is displayed
during a mea surement,
pressing [ON/CLEAR]
clears the error message
and displays the previous
measure ment.

The following modes and scales
are available for selection using
the [MODE] and [SCALE] keys,
depending on whether the puck
is set to Imperial or Metric mode
using the [IMP/MET] switch
located on the back of the puck.
While in Imperial Mode, only the
Imperial Modes and Scales are
displayed. While in Metric Mode,
only Metric Modes and Scales are
displayed. However, all Imperial
and Metric units of measurement
are available within both modes.
When switching back and forth
between Imperial and Metric
modes, your settings within
each mode are held, including
Preference. The values stored in

SHAPES AND DEFINITIONS
The Ultra Scale Master can measure Polylines, Polygons, and regular or irregular shapes, based on the following criteria:
• Only one shape can be measured at a time • A measured Area cannot contain lines that cross each other
Defi nitions and illustrations of some common shapes: Solution examples follow in the User’s Guide:
POLYLINE:
A sequence of connected straight lines or a single
linear distance like a fence line
IRREGULAR SHAPE: An outline or
surface confi guration of a form
POLYGON: A closed geometric fi gure bounded by three or more straight lines
1. Simple Polygon:
A Square, Rectangle or Triangle
Note: Th e diag rams show n throughout the guide are not to scale and the displayed values are not representative of diagrams.
18 — ULTRA SCALE MASTER
®
2. Complex P o l y g on:
A multi-sided shape that is not a Square,
Rectangle or Triangle
ILLEGAL SHAPE:
The Area can not be calculated for a
shape containing bisecting lines. The
Area of the shapes resulting from
the bisecting line s c an be calculated
individually.

CUSTOM SCALES
There are two methods for programming Custom Scales into
your Ultra Scale Master. “Measured Custom Scales” allow
you to measure a specifi ed Length and assign the known
value. “Entered Custom Scales” allow you to enter and set a
known scale that is not included within the available built-in
scales of the Ultra Scale Master.
SETTING A MEASURED CUSTOM SCALE
The following exampl e is shown in Imperial Mode. The displays will be slightly different if in Metric Mode.
One Custom Scale can be stored in Imperial and Metric
Modes for a total of two Custom Scales. Once a Custom
Scale has been set in either mode, it is retained until a new
scale is stored in its place or until an All Clear or Reset is
performed. Switching between Imperial and Metric Modes
does not clear stored Custom Scales.
1. Press [MODE] until “CUST” is displayed.
2. Press [SET] then [SCALE] to begin setting the Custom
Scale. The display prompts you to enter Point-1.
3. Place the crosshairs over the start point of the line and
press [MEASURE]. You are prompted to enter Point-2.
4. Place the crosshairs over the end point of the line and press
[MEASURE]. The display shows “0,000-00” for Imperial
Mode and “00,000.0” is displayed for Metric Mode.

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
The following units of measurement are available for selection by pressing the [UNITS] key located under the slide cover door.
You may change the units of measurement of a displayed value at anytime during measuring, or after a measurement has been
completed. All of the linear and area units shown below are available in both Imperial and Metric modes and are displayed
in the order shown beginning with the default. The Imperial/Metric switch (located on the back of the puck) determines the
default starting unit:
LINEAR UNITS
Feet-Inch (FEET INCH)*
Feet (FEET)
Yards (YD)
Meters (M)**
Centimeters (CM)
Millimeters (MM)
Inch (INCH)
*Imperial Default
**Metric Default
Note: You may change units on any displayed value, even while measuring. Continuous presses of [UNITS] will scroll through the available
units of measurement listed above, converting the displayed value. If the value is too large to be displayed in the units selected, the display
will remain unchanged (maintaining the same value and units) until the value is converted to a unit that can be displayed.
28 — ULTRA SCALE MASTER

Note: If a measurement or calculation with small units of measurement
exceeds the seven-digit range of the display, it will be automatically
displayed in the next larger units (e.g. 20,000,000 millimeters is
displayed as 20,000.00 m).
