In addition to the safety precautions listed in the individual sections of these operating instructions, the following points must be strictly observed at all times.

5.2 Misuse

The range meter and its accessories can be a source of hazard if they are not used properly or not used for the intended purpose by untrained people. – Do not use the range meter without

suitable prior instruction.

– Do not render any safety devices

ineffective and do not remove information and warning notices.

– Have the range meter repaired only at a

Hilti service center. Unauthorized opening of the range meter may cause the emission of laser radiation in excess of class 2.

– No changes or manipulations to the

range meter are allowed.

– Use only original Hilti accessories and

auxiliary tools in order avoid the risk of injury.

– Do not use the range meter in

atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion.

– Use only a clean, soft cloth for cleaning.

If necessary, moisten the cloth slightly with pure alcohol.

– Keep the range meter out of the reach of

children.

– Measurements taken to plastic foam

materials, such as polystyrene foam, or to snow or other strongly reflecting surfaces, may be inaccurate.

– Taking measurements to surfaces with

low reflectivity surrounded by areas with high reflectivity may lead to measurement errors.

– Measurements taken through panes of

glass or other objects may be inaccurate.

– Rapid changes of the measuring

conditions, e.g. persons walking through the laser beam, may lead to measurement errors.

– Do not direct the range meter towards

the sun or other sources of bright light.

– Do not use the range meter as a levelling

tool.

– If you do not check the range meter

before taking important measurements

and after it has been dropped or

subjected to other mechanical stressing. – No checking of the setting of the

measuring reference before measuring.

5.3 General safety precautions

Check the range meter for possible damage before use. If the range meter is found to be damaged, have it repaired at a Hilti service centre. The accuracy of the range meter must be checked after it has been dropped or subjected to other mechanical stressing. – When the range meter is brought into a

warm environment from very cold conditions, or vice versa, allow it to become acclimatised before use.

– Although the range meter is designed for

the tough conditions of jobsite use, it should be treated with care, as other optical instruments (binoculars, spectacles, cameras, etc.)

– Although the range meter is protected to

prevent entry of dampness, it should be wiped dry each time before being put away in its transport container.

– As a precaution, check the settings you

have made before using the range meter.

5. Safety information

– When using the circular bubble level

(bull's eye) for alignment, only look at the range meter from the side.

5.4 Proper organization of workplace

– Secure the area in which you are

measuring. When setting up the range meter, take care to avoid directing the beam towards yourself or other people.

– Avoid unfavourable body position when

working on ladders or scaffolding. Make sure you have a stable stance and avoid danger of overbalancing at all times.

– Measurements taken through panes of

glass or other objects may be inaccurate.

– Use the range meter only while observing

the specified operating conditions, i.e. not directed towards a mirror, bright chromium steel, polished stone, etc.

– Observe the accident prevention regula-

tions in force in the country you are working.

5.4.1 Electromagnetic compatibility

Although the range meter complies with the strict requirements of the relevant guidelines, Hilti cannot entirely rule out the following possibilities: – The range meter might cause

interference to other equipment, e.g. aircraft navigational equipment.

– The range meter might be subject to

interference caused by powerful radiation, which can then lead to incorrect operation. Check the readings for plausibility when measuring in these conditions or if you are unsure of the results.

5.4.2 Laser classification

The range meter conforms to laser class 2 based on the IEC60825-1:1993+A1: 1997+A2: 2001 /DIN EN60825-1:2003; standard and class II based on CFR 21 § 1040 (FDA). These range meters may be used without need for further protective measures. The eyelid closure reflex protects the eyes if a person looks into the beam unintentionally for a brief moment. The eyelid closure reflex can, however, be negatively influenced by medication, alcohol or drugs. Nevertheless, as with the sun, a person should not look directly into sources of bright light. The laser beam should not be directed towards persons.

Laser information plates based on IEC60825-1:1993+A1:1997+ A2: 2001/ DIN EN60825-1:2003;

FullAccu

6. Getting started

6.2.1.2 Charging display for unintention-

ally inserted alkaline batteries

– If alkaline batteries are identified, all

battery status segments flash continually to indicate missing rechargeable batteries. Additionally, they sign “

“ shows in the display.

The range meter cannot be switched on.

– If defective or non re-chargeable alkaline

batteries are inserted, the battery display will flash and, at the same time, “ “ (defective battery) will appear in the display.

- NOTE -

– At any time while the batteries are being

charged, the range meter can be switched on and used. The battery charging process stops when the range meter is switched on and the laser activated.

– Rechargeable batteries discharge if they

are stored for a long time. The battery charging process terminates after 1 minute when charging very empty rechargeable batteries and the display switches off in this case, the charging process can be re-started only by disconnecting the range meter from the mains adaptor or by removing / replace the rechargeable batteries.

– Keep the range meter in a safe place.

6.2.2 Fast battery charging

The charging process ensures that within 15 minutes of charging with the PDAW 80/81-2 car battery plug the battery receives enough power for a further 150 to 200 measurements. This process in combination with car battery plug is a particular advantage if the user needs the range meter ready for use quickly.

7.2.2 Display illumination

= Illumination key

The illumination key, switches the display illumination On or Off. In the dark or in very bright light, e.g. sunlight or a strong spotlight the display illumination helps the user to read the display more easily.

- NOTE-

Display illumination consumes additional power. If it is used frequently, a shorter battery life must be expected.

7.3 Optical sight

The built-in optical sight is a great benefit when measuring outside and whenever the laser spot is poorly visible. Thanks to the optical sight, even at long distances can be easily and precisely aimed at. Whenever the rangemeter’s laser is On, the laser spot can be seen in the optical sight. If the laser spot is not visible in the optical sight, either the measurement is completed or the laser beam has switched off, the timer of 60 seconds may have expired. The optical sight runs parallel to the laser beam.

Typical measuring procedure with the optical sight

– Press the "Measure" key to activate

the laser beam.

– Aim for the target with the laser spot in

the optical sight.

– Press the "Measure" key or "Side

measure" key keep aiming until the laser spot in the optical sight disappears.

– Read the distance in the display.

Diagram of optical sight

- NOTE -

It is practical for the optical sight to be used for distance above 10 m (30ft).

7.4 Measuring distances

Distance measurements can be taken to all “non-cooperating” stationary targets, i.e. concrete, rock, wood, plastic, paper, etc., The use of prisms or other strongly reflecting targets is not permitted and, if used, might falsify the results.

7.4.1 Measuring references

= switch key

The range meter can measure distances from three different measuring reference points. By pressing the "switch" key on the left at the front of the range meter the measuring reference point toggles between front edge and rear edge. If the spike is folded out 90°, the reference position is set to the end of the spike. The reference for the measuring extension PDA70 is activated when the range meter is switched off. While the reference key (upper left) is pressed and the range meter switched On with the On/Off key (upper right) the spike symbol starts blinking in the display. The reference for the measuring extension is deactivated when the range meter is switched Off.

7.4.2 Measuring distances step by step

The range meter measures distances in a very short time and, when doing so, shows various information in the display.

1. Switch on the range meter by pressing the "On" key.

2. Press the "Measure" key once. This switches on the red laser beam which is visible as a laser spot on the target surface. The display shows this aiming mode as an animated dashed line

3. Aim to the target.

4. Press the "Measure" key once again to measure the distance.

The result appears in the result line normally in less than a second. The laser beam switches off.

If further measurements are taken, up to three previously determined distances are shown in the intermediate result lines, i.e. a total of the last four measured distances are shown.

7.4.3 Measuring mode

Two different measuring modes are available to measure distances. These are single distance measurement and continuous distance measurement. The continuous measurement mode is used for setting out given distances or offsets and is also used where distance measurements are more difficult, e.g. to corners, edges, niches, etc.

7. Operation

7.4.3.1 Single distance measurement (Measure key)

1.Switch on the laser beam by pressing the "Measure" key.

2.Press the "Measure" key once again. Generally, the measured distance will be completed in less than a second and shown in the result line.

- NOTE -

Alternatively the range meter may be switched on by pressing the On key and the laser then activated by pressing the measure key.

7.4.3.2 Continuous measurement

Press the "Measure" key for about 2 seconds to activate this measuring mode. When doing so, it does not matter whether or not the range meter is off or the laser beam is switched on or off. The range meter will always switch to continuous measurement. During continuous measurement, the distances are updated in the result line by about 8 to 15 measurements every second. This depends on the reflectivity of the target surface. If the beep signal is switched on, continuous measurement is indicated by a Beep. The measuring process is stopped by pressing the "Measure" key once again. On doing so, the last valid distance measurement shows in the result line on the display.

- NOTE -

Continuous measurement is possible wherever distances can be measured. This applies also to functions, such as areas and volumes.

7.4.4 Measuring from corners

The spike is used when measuring diagonally across rooms or from inaccessible corners.

1. Fold out the spike 90°. This automatically sets the measuring reference to the end of the spike. The range meter takes the extended reference point into account and corrects the measured distances accordingly.

2. Position the range meter with the spike at the desired starting point for the measurement and aim towards the target.

3. Press the "Measure" key. The measured distance will appear in the display.

7. Operation

7.4.5 Measuring with the aid of target objects

When taking measurements to exterior corners, e.g. on buildings, perimeter fences, etc., boards, bricks or other suitable objects can be used as the target.

Use of the PDA 50 target plate is recommended for long distances and in unfavourable light conditions, e.g. strong sunlight.

7.4.6 Measuring in bright surroundings

The PD 32 has a built-in optical target sight. When measuring to very bright surfaces, the laser spot is often not visible. Thanks to the laser spot superimposed in the optical sight, you can always clearly and reliably aim at the target.

For long distances and bright light conditions, we recommend the use of the PDA 50 target plate.

7.4.7 Taking measurements to rough

surfaces

When measuring to rough surfaces, e.g. coarse render, stucco, etc, an average distance value is measured weighting the centre of laser spot higher that the edges of the laser spot.

7.4.8 Taking measurements to round or

inclined surfaces

If surfaces of this kind are aimed to an obtuse angle, inadequate light energy or, when aimed perpendicular, measurements may refer to the reflected laser spot from elsewhere. In both cases we recommend the use of the PDA 50 target plate

7.4.9 Taking measurements to wet or

shiny surfaces

As long as the range meter can be aimed towards the surface, a distance to the target will be reliably measured. In the case of highly reflective surfaces, a reduction in the range or a measurements to the actual light reflex from elsewhere must be expected.

7. Operation / 8. Applications

7.4.10 Taking measurements to transparent surfaces

It is not possible to measure distances to transparent materials, e.g. liquids, foam polystyrene, etc. This is because light penetrates these materials and therefore measuring errors may occur. If measurements are taken through glass, measuring errors may also occur.

7.4.11 Measuring ranges

7.4.11.1 Increased distances

– Taking measurements in the dark, at

dawn, dusk and to shaded targets or with the front of the range meter shaded, generally leads to an increase of the measuring range.

– Taking measurements to the PDA 50

target plate also results in an increase of the measuring range.

7.4.11.2 Reduced distances

– Taking measurements in very bright

ambient light, e.g. in sunshine or a very bright spotlight etc, can lead to a reduced distances.

– Taking measurements through glass or

other objects in the target beam can lead to a reduced measuring range.

– Taking measurements to matt green, blue

or black, wet or shiny surfaces can lead to a reduced measuring range.

8. Applications and calculation

functions

The individual steps within all functions are mostly supported, on principle, by graphics on the display.

- NOTE -

– Continuous measurement can be used

within all functions where single measurements are possible.

– If measuring errors occur during

continuous measurement or if continuous measurement is stopped by pressing the "Measure" key again, the last valid distance will be shown.

8.1 Measurement data memory

While measuring, the range meter continuously saves the measured values and the results of calculations.

8.1.1 Saving measurements

When measuring several distances, up to three previous distances, are displayed in the intermediate result lines. This means that in total the last four measured distances are displayed or saved.

4. measured value

3. measured value

2. measured value

1. last measured value

8. Applications

8.1.2 Historical data memory

The range meter saves the last five measurements or calculation including the graphics. Always displays immediately after the range meter is switched On with the On/Off-key, before any function is activated or before the “Measure” key is pressed, these data can be recalled from the memory and displayed one by one using the “Plus/ Minus” key.

The symbol “Historical data mode active” shows the data stored in the memory.

Example of the display of a saved volume measurement:

8.2 Area measurement

Areas can be determined easily and quickly. Press the "Area" function key. This switches the laser beam on – ready for measuring.

The individual steps for determining an area are supported by a corresponding graphic display. To determine the floor space of a room, for example, the following procedure must be followed:

= a . b

1. At the start of the area function, the laser beam is switched on.

2. Aim the range meter at the target.

3. Press the "Measure" key. The room width will be measured and shown.

4. After this, the graphic display will automatically request measurement of the room length.

5. Aim the range meter at the next target to obtain the room length.

6. Press the "Measure" key. The second distance will be measured, the area immediately calculated and the result shown in the result line.

Both distances required to calculate the area appear in the intermediate result lines and can be conveniently noted after the measurements and the calculation.

- NOTE -

To determine another area, press the "Area" function key again.

8.3 Volume measurement

Volumes can be determined in one measuring operation. Press the "Volume" function key. This switches the laser beam on – ready for measuring.

1. At the start of the volume function, the laser beam is switched on.

2. Aim the range meter towards at the target.

3. Press the "Measure" key. The room width will be measured and shown.

4. After this, the graphic display will automatically request measurement of the room length.

5. Aim the range meter at the next target to obtain the room length.

6. Press the "Measure" key. The room length will be measured.

7. After this, the graphic display will automatically request measurement of the room height.

8. Aim the range meter at the next target to obtain the room height.

9. Press the "Measure" key. The room height will be measured, the volume immediately calculated and the result shown in the result line.

All three distances required to calculate the volume appear in the intermediate result lines and can be conveniently noted after the measurements and the calculation.

- NOTE -

To determine another volume, press the "Volume" function key again until the graphic symbol for “Volume” appears.

8.4 Adding distances

Single distances can be conveniently added. This is useful for determining door or window openings or to add several partial distances to form the perimeter.

1. Press the "Measure" key. (The laser beam will be switched on).

2. Direct the range meter towards the target.

3. Press the "Measure" key. The first distance will be measured and shown. (The laser will be switched off.)

4. Press the "Plus" key to add the next distance. The first distance will appear in the middle intermediate result line and a plus sign in the lowest one. (The laser beam will be switched on.)

5. Aim the range meter at the next target.

6. Press the "Measure" key. The second distance will be measured and shown in the bottom intermediate result line. The calculation result will appear in the result line at the same time.

The current total of the distances is always shown in the result line.

This procedure can be repeated until all distances have been added.

To terminate the addition of distances, simply measure a distance without first

8.5 Subtracting distances

Single distances can be conveniently subtracted from each other. This is useful for determining, for example, offsets to inaccessible places or the distance from the underside of a pipe to the ceiling. To do so, the distance from the floor to the underside of the pipe is subtracted from the distance from the floor to the ceiling. If, additionally, the pipe diameter is deducted, the result is the distance from the top of the pipe to the ceiling.

1. Press the "Measure" key. (The laser beam will be switched on.)

2. Aim the range meter at the target.

3. Press the "Measure" key. The first distance will be measured and shown. (The laser beam will switch off.)

4. Press the "Minus" key for subtraction. The first distance will appear in the middle intermediate result line and a minus sign in the lowest one. (The laser beam will switch on.)

5. Aim the range meter at the next target.

6. Press the "Measure" key. The second distance will be measured and shown in the bottom intermediate result line. The result of the subtraction will appear in the result line.

The current difference between distances is always shown in the result line.

This procedure can be followed until all distances have been subtracted. To terminate the subtraction of distances, simply measure a distance without first pressing the "Minus" key. The previous measurement and calculation results will be shown in the intermediate displays.

8.6 Indirect measurement

An indirect distance can be determined by taking several distance measurements and calculating according to Pythagoras's theorem. The functions for indirect measurement are called by pressing the "Indirect distance measurement" function key. When doing so, there are two possibilities:

the combined version using three measured distances (Press the function key once.)

the simple version using two measured distances (Press the function key twice.)

The simple version is suitable when a rectangular reference exist such as two perpendicular walls or a floor adjacent to a vertical wall. The combined version is more suitable for a free determination where it is not possible to measure a perpendicular distance to one end of the distance to be calculated.

- NOTE -

The result of indirect measurement is, due to principle less accurate than direct

8. Applications

measurements. To obtain the best possible result, attention must be paid to the geometry, e.g. right angle and triangle arrangement. The best results are obtained when:

a) the tool is aimed accurately at the ends

of the line

b) all points measured are in one single

plane

c) measuring is carried out closer to the

object rather than far away.

8.6.1 Measuring criteria

The indirect measurement function verifies the triangular geometry as the measurements are taken. The angle of the triangle(s) at the range meter’s position is checked and must be greater than 10°. Otherwise a double beep indicates an error, the function terminates and all previous measurements are lost. The function automatically restarts.

The most reliable results are achieved with the closest offset to the object. Additionally when using the combined version (doubletriangle), both triangles should be almost the same size.

8.6.2 Selecting indirect measurement

options

Pressing the "Indirect distance measurement" function key, activates the combined version first. Pressing the "Indirect distance measurement" function key once again, switches to the simple version. Pressing this key a third time, switches from this function back to the normal display mode.

8.6.3 Indirect measurement

(combined version)

>10°

The individual steps for indirect distance determination are supported by corresponding graphics on the display. To use the combined version, for example, the following procedure must be observed:

1. After starting the "Indirect measurement" function, the laser beam will be switched on and the combined version activated.

2. Aim the range meter at one end of the line to be determined as indicated on the graphic display.

3. Press the "Measure" key.

4. Thereafter, the graphic display will automatically request measurement of the perpendicular distance. Here, particular care must be taken to measure this distance in the continuous measurement mode in order to determine the point with the shortest (perpendicular) distance more reliably

5. Move over the point in the area of suspected minimum distance from the tool with and stop the measurement by pressing the "Measure" key.

6. The tool requests measurement of the other end of the line. Aim the tool at this point and press the "Measure" key.

7. After the last distance has been measured, the range meter will immediately calculate the indirect distance.

8.8 Setting out

With the range meter, pre-determined dimensions can be set-out and marked, such as for installing drywall tracks.

The continuous measurement mode is used when transfering dimensions from drawings. (See also section 7.4.3.2 Continuous measurement.) Hold the "Measure" key pressed for approx. 2 seconds to activate the continuous measurement mode. When doing so, it does not matter whether the range meter is switched off or the laser beam is switched on or off. The range meter always switches to the continuous measurement mode. Move the range meter slowly until the desired distance is reached or appears in the display.

Press the "Measure" key once again to end the continuous measurement mode.

9. Calibration and adjustment

9.1 Calibration

The inspection, measuring and test equipment for the range meter must be certified in accordance with ISO 900X...

You may carry out the inspection, measuring and test of the PD 32 laser range meter as specified in ISO 900X... (See ISO 17123-4 Field Process for Accuracy Examinations of Geodetic Instruments: Part 6, Close-range Opto-electrical Range Meters.)

Select a readily accessible measuring distance of a known length approx. 1 to 5 meters (3 – 15 ft) long which does not vary with time and take five measurements of the same distance.

Determine the mean of the deviations to the known distance. This value should be within the specific accuracy tolerance for the range meter.

Keep a record of this value and note the time for the next test. Repeat this check measurement at regular intervals as well as before and after important measuring tasks. Apply a sticker to the PD 32 documenting this control of the measuring, inspection and test equipment for the range meter and keep a record of the entire control process, inspection procedure and the results.

Please refer to the technical data contained in the operating instructions and the information concerning measuring accuracy.
