Symbols
These numbers refer to the corres-
ponding illustrations. The illustrations
can be found on the fold-out cover pages.
Keep these pages open when studying the
operating instructions. In these operating
instructions, the PD 30 laser range meter is

2. Description
2. Description
The distance is determined along an
emitted laser beam up to the surface where
the laser beam is reflected. The red laser
spot clearly identifies the target from which
the measurement is taken.
The measuring range depends on the
reflectivity and the surface structure of the
target surface.
2.1 Intended use
The range meter is designed for the:
– Measurement of distances
– Calculation of areas, volumes and distances
– Addition and subtraction of distances
– Operation and storage in the specified
temperatures
2.2 Items supplied
1 PD 30 laser range meter
1 PDA 60 hand strap
2 Type AA batteries
1 soft pouch
1 Operating instructions
2.3 Measuring principle
The range meter emits a visible laser beam
with measuring waves, which are reflected
returning with a phase shift. The phase
shift is used to determine the distance.
This measuring principle permits highly
accurate and reliable distance measurements to objects without special reflectors.

Laser visibility glasses* PA 970
* These are not laser safety
glasses and do not protect the
eyes from laser radiation. The
laser visibility glasses restrict
colour vision. Therefore these
are not permitted to be worn
by a person driving on a public
road, and must not be used
look straight into the sun.
3.1 PDA 50 target plate
The PDA 50 target plate is made of durable
plastic with a special reflective coating. In
poor light conditions, it is advisable to use
the target plate for distances above 10 m
(30 ft).
- NOTE -
– For reliable distance measurements the
laser beam should be perpendicular to
the target plate whenever possible. If this
not the case, the laser spot on the target
plate may not be in the same plane as
the target point and the distance
measured will be incorrect.
– For very accurate measurements using
the target plate, 1.2 mm (1/20 inch)
should be added to the measured
distances.
3.2 PDA 80 / 81 charging kits
The PDA 80 and PDA 81 charging kits
enables the use of the range meters with
rechargeable cells. The battery charging
time takes approx.12 hours for empty cells.
However, sufficient current is charged
within the first 15 minutes – for 150 - 200
measurements.
Please also refer to the description of
battery charging in section 6. Getting started.

3. Tools and accessories
– Charging adaptor for range meter
– 2 chargeable battery cells(NiMH)
3.3 PDAW 80-1 mains adaptor
The mains adaptor is an integral part of the
charging kit. It is equipped with a two pin
plug. The mains adaptor transforms the
power supply from alternating current to
direct current which is used to charge the
batteries. The mains adaptor automatically
adjusts itself to suit an AC voltage between
100 - 240 V and 50 - 60 Hz. The mains
adaptor has been specially designed to
supply current to the charging adaptor.
- NOTE -
Battery chargers or mains adaptors with
other voltage outputs, such as those for
mobile phones, may not be used. Use of
other battery chargers or mains adaptors
may damage the range meter.
3.4 PDAW 80/81-2 car battery plug
The car battery plug is an integral part of
the PDA 80/81 charging kit. It can be
inserted into a vehicle cigarette lighter or
into sockets of the same design. This
adaptor has a special design and transforms the 12 - 24 V direct current of a
vehicle battery into a voltage suitable for
the charging adaptor.
A light-emitting diode (LED) is incorporated in the adaptor to indicate correct
connection for charging. An additional
fuse in the adapters front section provides
protection against voltage peaks.
- NOTE -
As the car battery plug has been especially
designed to charge the NiMH batteries of
the PD30, it may not be replaced by other
types of car battery plugs.
3.5 PDAW 80/81-1 charging adaptor
The respective mains adaptor supplies
current to the charging adaptor. Prior to
charging the battery, the side flange
connections should be carefully checked.
3.6 PDAW 80/81-3 battery pack
The battery pack consists of two rechargeable, 1.2-V NiMH cells with a capacity of
approx.1800 mAh. The battery pack
remains in the battery compartment while
being charged.
- NOTE -
– A "memory effect" is virtually non-exi-
stent with this type of batteries and the
charging process used. The charging
process can be interrupted at any time
without damaging the battery cells.
– Other brands of rechargeable batteries
can be used. It must be ensured, how-
ever, that, as far as possible, batteries
have a similar capacity of approx.
1800 mAh.
3.7 PDAW 81-1 mains adaptor
This mains adaptor PDAW 81-1 is virtually
identical to the PDAW 80-1 mains adaptor.
The only difference is the type of mains
plugs which are interchangeable plugs.
3.8 PA 970 laser visibility glasses
The laser visibility glasses clearly improve
the visibility of the laser beam (spot)
