Congratulations on the purchase of laser distance meter
INSTRUMAX SNIPER 30!

Permitted use

· Measuring distances

· Computing functions, e.g. areas, volumes, Pythagorean
calculation

The safety regulations and instructions along with the
operating manual should be read carefully before initial
operation.The person responsible for the instrument
must ensure that equipment is used in accordance with
the instructions. This person is also accountable for the
deployment of personnel and for their training and for
the safety of the equipment when in use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Prohibited use

Please follow up instructions given in operating manual.
Do not use instrument in explosive environment (lling sta­tion, gas equipment, chemical production and so on).
Do not remove warning labels or safety instructions.

Do not open instrument housing, do not change it’s construc-

tion or modication.

Do not stare at beam. Laser beam can lead to eye injury (even
from greater distances).
Do not aim laser beam at persons or animals.
Opening of the equipment by using tools (screwdrivers, etc.),

as far as not specically permitted for certain cases.

Inadequate safety precautions at the surveying site (e.g. when
measuring on the roads, construction sites and so on).
Use the instrument in the places where it could be dangerous:
on the air transport, near manufacturers, production facilities,
in the places where the work of laser distance meter can lead
to the harmful effects on people or animals.

Laser classication

The instrument is a laser class 2 laser product with
power < 1 mW and wavelength 635 nm. Laser is safety
in ordinary conditions of usage.

MENU FUNCTIONS
Swtich on and off

Press the button (1) to switch on the instrument and laser.
The device also switches off automatically after 3 minutes of
inactivity i.e. no key is pressed within that interval.
To switch off the instrument press and hold button (3) for
about 2 sec.

Clear-Key

Press button (3) to cancel the last action.

Reference setting

Default reference setting is from the rear of the device. Press
and hold button (2) for more than 2 sec to set the reference:
the front or the rear. You will see the reference symbol (2) on
the display.

Selecting Units

Instrument is switched ON. Press and hold button (1) for 8
sec. Selected unit will be shown on the display (ft/m). When

5

you switch ON the instrument again DO NOT press and hold
button (1) for 8 sec if you don’t want to change the units of
measurement.

MEASUREMENTS
Single distance measurement

Press and hold button (1) for 2 sec to activate the laser.
When in continuous laser mode, press this button to trigger
the distance measurement directly. The instrument will give
acoustical signal. The result is displayed immediately.

Continuous Measurement

Press and hold the button (1) for about 2 seconds to start
continuous measuring.

FUNCTIONS
Area

Press the button (2) once.The symbol “area” is displayed.

Press button (1) to take the rst measurement (for example,

length). Measured value is displayed in the second line.
Press button (1) to take the second measurement (for ex­ample, width). Measured value is displayed in the second

line. The result of measured area is displayed in the rst line.

Volume

For volume measurements, press button (2) twice until the in­dicator for volume measurement appears on the display.

Press button (1) to take the rst measurement (for example,

length). Measured value is displayed in the second line.
Press button (1) to take the second measurement (for exam­ple, width). Measured value is displayed in the second line.
Press button (1) to take the third measurement (for example,
height). Measured value is displayed in the second line. The

volume value will be displayed in the rst line.

Indirect measurement

Pythagorean measurement is used in the condition that the
objective needing to be measured is covered or
has no effective reecting surface and can’t be measured di­rectly.

Indirect measurement – determing a distance using 2
auxilary measurements

This function is used when height and distance can’t be mea-

6

sured directly.
Press button (2) 3 times. The symbol “triangle” is displayed.
The distance to be measured is blinking in the symbol triangle.
Press button (1) to take distance measuring (hypothenuse of
triangle). The result is displayed in the second line. This mea­surement can be taken in the indirect measurement function.
Press and hold button (1) for 2 sec. After second pressure

of the button (1) value is xed. The second distance to be

measured is blinking in the symbol triangle. Press button (1)
to take distance measuring. There is a right angle between
laser beam and the length you need to measure. The result of
the measurement is displayed in the second line. The result

of the function is displayed in the rst line.

Maximum deviation occurs under unfavorable conditions such as bright

sunlight or when measuring to poorly reecting or very rough surfaces.

-20º to +60º

-10º to +40º

MEASURING CONDITIONS

Measuring range

The range is limited to 30 m. It could be bigger when mea­suring at night, at dusk and when the target is shadowed.
Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during

daylight or if the target has a bad reection.

Measuring Surfaces

Measuring errors can occur when measuring toward color­less liquids (e.g. water) or dust free glass, styrofoam or sim

8

ilar semi-permeable surfaces. Aiming at high gloss surfaces

deects the laser beam and measurement errors can occur.
Against non-reective and dark surfaces the measuring time

can be increased.

PRECAUTIONS

Please, handle the instrument with care. Avoid viabrations,
hits, water, effect of heat. During transportation put the instru­ment into the soft bag.

Note: the instrument should be dry!

Care and cleaning

Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a
damp, soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or
solutions.

Specic reasons for erroneous measuring results

- Measurements through glass or plastic windows;

- Dirty laser emitting window;

- After instrument has been dropped or hit. Please check the
accuracy;

- Large uctuation of temperature: if instrument will be used

in cold areas after it has been stored in warm
areas (or the other way round) please wait some minutes
before carrying out measurements;

- Against non-reective and dark surfaces, colorless surfac­es and so on.

Electromagnetic acceptability (EMC)

It cannot be completely excluded that this instrument will
disturb other instruments (e.g. navigation systems); will be
disturbed by other instruments (e.g. intensive electromag­netic radiation nearby industrial facilities or radio transmit­ters).

Laser classication

INSTRUMAX Sniper 30 projects visible laser beam from the
front part of the instrument. The instrument is a laser class
2 laser product according to DIN IEC 6082 5-1:2007. It is

deects the laser beam and measurement errors can occur.
Against non-reective and dark surfaces the measuring time

can be increased.
