INTRODUCTION
The Ultra Scale Master Pro
has been specifi cally
desig n e d fo r r e s ide ntia l
and light commerc ia l
builders a nd cont ractor s
requir ing area a nd
volume take-offs. Use
it for estimating project
materials and costs, for
measuring, storing and
calculating perimeters,
areas, and volumes f rom
architectural plans and
other types of sca led
drawings. Use the
Ultra Scale Master Pro to
calcul ate the a r ea a nd
volume of irregular shapes;
it can also be used as a
digitizer. A PC interface
is included to enable data
and measurements to be
sent to PC applications.
The Ultra Scale Master Pro
may be used wit h or
without a PC.

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.

[END]
Ends polyline measurement,
displaying the total per imeter.
Also ends the 2-Point Circle
measure me nt when measuring
a diameter, displaying t he
circumference (perimeter).
[CLO SE —]
Completes the Polygon or a
2-Poi nt Circle and displays the
calcul ated a r e a. Results are
identifi e d a s negat ive values.
When measuring a Polygon, this
key connects the last measured
point to the start point.
KEY DEFINITIONS
MEASURING KEYS
The keys shown are used
for taking measu r e ment s on
the blueprint a nd operat ing
the display (D-Pad key).

[ON/CLEAR]
Turns the unit ON and clea r s
the display. Holding down the
[ON/CLEAR] key for 1.5 s e cond s
also powers the unit off.
[CLO SE +]
Completes the Polygon or a
2-Poi nt Circle and displays the
calcul ated a r e a. Results are
identifi e d a s po sit ive values.
When measuring a Polygon, this
key connects the last measured
point to the start point.
[MEASURE]
Takes a measurement bet ween
points.
Important Notes
regarding the
[ON/C LE AR] ke y:
If [ON/CLEAR] is pressed
during measurement,
the last measured point
is undone and the
previous measurement is
displayed. A second press
of [ON/CLEAR] ends the
measurement (as if the
[END] key w as pressed) and
clears the main display.
During an Ar c or Circle
measure ment, however,
a second press of [ON/
CLEAR] exits t he A r c
or Circle mea surement
mode, discarding any
measure d points.
Additionally, if an error
message is di splayed
during a measurement,
pressing [ON/CLEAR]
clears t he error message
and displays the previous
measurement.
USER’S GUIDE — 11
[UNDO]
Undoes the previous mea surement.
Allows you to undo the last 10
measureme nt s (if applicable) while in
measure mode. If a measurement ha s
been clos e d or e nded, it wi ll undo the
close or end act ion and t he prev ious 9
measureme nts upon repe ated press es of
[UNDO].
[SET]
Used in conjunction with the [HEIGHT]
and [SCALE] keys to set a Height or
Custom Scale (See Setting a Height and
Setting Custom Scale sections.) Also used to
access secondary functions (e.g., M-, MC).
[M+]
Adds the displayed value to accumulative
Memory (except when setting a Height or
Cus tom Sca le).
[SET] [M+] (M—)
Subtracts t he displayed value from the
accumulative Memory (except during a
measur e ment).

[PC SEND]
When con ne c te d to a PC, se nd s the value
on the main display in decimal for m at to
the PC (see PC Interface section).
[ARC/C IRC]
First press identi fi es a new
measurement as an Arc, second
consec ut ive press identifi es it as a Ci rc le.
Three points must be mea s ured for an
Arc; two points (diameter) or thre e points
must be measure d for a circle. The
Ultra Scale Master Pro will auto-close
three-point Arc or Circle measu r e me nts.
[MR] (Memory Reca l l)
First press di splays the accumulative
Memory value; second consecutive
press displays Memory Count; thi r d
consecut ive press d i splays the Memory
Average. Repeated press e s cycle back
through this list of values.
[SET] [MR] (Memory Clear)
Clears the acc umulative Memory.
Directional Pad (D-PAD)
