GETTING STARTED
Once asse mbly and s e tup are complete, proceed with the following steps in order to begin me asuring.
1. When placing the ba r s and securing the drawing, m ake sure that the bars are at least 1" from the outer most me a surements.
2. It is essenti al that the ba r s r e m ain fi xed relative to the d rawing’s position. Scr ib e a line to ma rk t he initi a l lo c at ion of t he ba rs as a reference point should the bars shift.
3. The Puck should maintai n a 45° ang le w it hin the bars while measur ing.
4. Ensure that the measuring surface is fl at and smooth. Make sure there are no folds, tears, or rais e d areas of the pla ns.
5. Make sure there a r e no obj e cts between the Puck a nd the bars. This includes hand s, arms, penci ls or pens, USB cable, cups, scale rulers, etc.
6. Make sure t h at no air cur r e nt i s blowi ng d irect ly into the measuring area. Air blowing into the mea suring pat h c an result i n no measure me nt read ing.
7. To ge t acc urate measureme nts, make sure that the Puck and the bars ar e close to the a m bient temperat ure of the work environment.

BUILT-IN SCALES
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 [HEIGHT] and [M+] are cleared when switching between Imperial and Metric modes.
Note: W hile in Met ric Mod e, MET
will appear in the scale area of the display to indicate that it is in Metric Mode.

SHAPES AND DEFINITIONS
The Ultra Scale Master Pro can measure Polylines, Polygons, regular or irregular shapes, Arcs and Circles based on the following criteria:
Defi nitions and illustrations of some common shapes: Solution examples follow in the User’ s G uide:
POLYLINE:
A sequence of connected straight lines or a single linear distan c e like a fence line
POLYGON: A closed geometric fi gure bounded by three or more straight lines
1. Simple P o lygon:
A Square, Rectangle
or Triangle
2. Complex P o l ygon:
A multi-sided shape that is not a Square,
Rectangle or Triangle
• Only one shape can be measured at a time
• For a Polygon or Polyline only the last 64 measured sides
can be displayed when viewing side Lengths via the D-Pad right [4] and left [3] arrows
• Arc measurements are assumed to be part of a Circle
• In Arc or Circle Mode, measurements of ellipses or irregular Arcs will result in incorrect calculations; the resulting values are based on the assumption that the points measured apply to a segment of a Circle
• An Arc or three-point Circle greater than 180° can also be measured
Note: T he di agrams sho wn throughout the guide are not to scale and the displayed values are not representative of diagrams.

IRREGULAR SHAPE
An outline or surface confi guration of a form
ARC:
A segment of a curve
CIRCLE:
A plane curve equidistant from a fi xe d center
ILLEGAL SHAPE:
The Area and Volume c an not be
calcul ated for a shape containing
bisecting lines. The Area and Volume of
the shapes resulting from the bisecting
line s c an be calc ulated individually.
