MEASUREMENTS
Single distance measurement
Shor t press th e butto n to switch on the de vice. L aser bea m will be
switch ed on automati cally. Aim the las er beam at the obje ct of measurem ent
and shor t press the but ton to make a singl e distance mea surement.
Measure ment result will a ppear on the disp lay. Short pres s the but ton
to delet e the result of measuremen t and exit t he mode.
Continuous measurement (tracking)
Press an d hold the butto n during 3 secon ds.
The dev ice will t ake measu rement s one af ter ano ther, showi ng the las t
measured value in the main line, and the previous measured value in the first
line. Sh ort pr ess the bu tton t o stop mea suring. Shor t press t he
butto n to exit the mode.
CALCULATIONS
Addition/subtraction
Make a measu rement. Shor t press the bu tton to selec t either addi tion
or subtraction, and make the 2nd measurement. Calculation result will
appear i n the main li ne on the di splay. Th e next m easure ments wi ll also b e
added/su btracted to/f rom the next mea suring result .
Area
Shor t press the but ton once. Symbo l will appear on t he
display. L aser beam will b e on. Short pre ss the button t o measure
the 1st side (l ength). Short press th e button to measure the 2nd
side (width). A rea (compo sition o f lengt h and width) wil l be c alculated and
appear in the main line on the display.
Shor t press the butt on to exit the mod e.
Volume
Shor t press th e butt on twi ce. Symbo l will ap pear on th e
display. L aser beam will be o n. Shor t press the but ton to measure
the 1st side (length). Short press the button to measure the
2nd side (width). Short press the button to measure the 3rd side
(height). Volume (composition of length, width and height) will be calculated
and appear in the main line on the display.
Shor t press the butt on to exit the mod e.
Indirect measurement by Pythagoras’ Theorem
Calculation of distance by using 2 additional measurements
Shor t press the butt on
3 times. Sy mbol wi ll
appear on the display. Make
measure ments of dist ance А
and В. Leng th of distance С will
be calculated and the result will
appear in the main line.
Dista nce В must be perpendicul ar
to distance С and cann ot be
longer t han distance А.
Shor t press the butt on to exit the mod e.
Calculation of distance by using 3 additional measurements
Dista nce D can be measur ed by maki ng 3 addit ional measurem ents.
Shor t press th e butt on 4 times . Symbo l will app ear on the
display. Laser beam will b e on. Make measurements of distances А, В and
С one by one .
After t he last ma de measu rement
calculation result (distance D) will
appear i n the main li ne on the
display.
Shor t press th e butt on to
exit the m ode.
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS
Measur ement range
The maxi mum measurem ent range is 30 m . At night, at dusk , or if the objec t
of measur ement is s haded, t he measu rement r ange ca n be incr eased
withou t the use o f a refle ctiv e plate. Us e a refle ctiv e plate to i ncreas e the
measurement range during daylight hours, or if the object being measured
has a poor r eflective s urface.
Object surface
When measuring up to colorless liquids (e.g. water), dust-free glass,
polystyrene or similar translucent and glossy surfaces, the measurement
result s may be wr ong. Whe n measur ing to ver y dark su rfa ces, the
measurement time may increase.
