Should the measurement lie outside the measurement range, „Err“ or an illogical number appear in the display. The measurement range lies between 0,6 m (2“) and 16 m (53“).

2. Hold the appliance upright towards the wall to which you wish to measure the distance. The ultrasound sender/receiver

must be at a right-angle to

the wall. For this, use the spirit level: The bubble in the glass

must stand

between the marking lines (see Fig. 1).

3. Press the button READ

. The distance measured appears in the display 2.

When you hold the button READ

pressed down and slowly move the appliance over the surface to be measured, the appliance continually measures the distances. These are shown on the display

Take note of the following illustrations:

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

The further you are from the wall, the wider is the area (a) that the MultiMeasurement Detector must measure by ultrasound (Fig. 2). Therefore take care that the Manifold Measurer is always directed at a right angle towards a level surface (Fig. 1 and 3). Ensure that there are no objects positioned within the measurement area.

Locating concealed objects

Notice:

• Before using the appliance for this task, first test it by locating a pipeline

or electrical power cable at a known position.

• In cases of doubt, always ask a qualified building contractor.

Attention!

Should the appliance find a live wire carrying alternating current,

appears in the display. Under no circumstances should you drill at this

location! Danger of electric shock!

The locating of concealed objects is the same in all three modes (STUD = wood, AC WIRE = live electric power cables, METAL = metal).

1. Slide the function switch

to „Detector“.

2. Slide the material switch

to STUD, AC WIRE or METAL.

3. First of all, the appliance must be calibrated. Place it flat against the wall where you wish to search for concealed objects.

4. Press and hold the button PUSH

until the signal tone hums. The appliance has now adjusted itself to the wall thickness. Continue to keep the button PUSH

pressed down.

5. Move slowly along the wall with the appliance. As the arrows in the display move closer to the centre of the display, you are getting closer to the concealed object. When the arrows touch and a constant signal tone is heard, mark this position (see Fig. 4).

- 9 -

Fig. 4

6. Now repeat the procedure, but this time approach the object from the other side. As soon as the signal tone sounds, mark this position (see Fig. 4).

The concealed object runs between these two positions.

Locating wood objects

1. Proceed with the search for wood objects as described in the section „Locating concealed objects“.

2. When the Multi-Measurement Detector has found an object, mark it. To be sure that the object is wood, slide the material switch

to METAL.

3. Now search in the same position for metal. Should the Multi-Measurement Detector not find anything, then the object is wood. Should it find something, then the object is metal.

In this case, search again at a different position in the mode „STUD“ and repeat steps 1 to 3.

Laser marking

The appliance contains a Class 2 laser. NEVER direct the laser beam at people or animals. NEVER look directly into the laser. The laser can cause serious eye damage.

You can use laser marking for the exactly horizontal positioning of pictures, shelves etc.

1. Place the function switch

to „Laser“. A laser line is projected.

Horizontal laser line

Attention!

Exercise caution with the holding pins. They are sharp and can cause injuries.

1. Hold the Manifold Measurer horizontally against the wall and align it with the assistance of the spirit level 8. The air bubble must stand between the two marking lines.

2. Push both of the holding pins (

5 + e

) buttons firmly downwards. The pins lightly bore themselves into the wall so that the appliance does not fall to the floor. The laser throws a horizontal line onto the wall.

Note:

The holding pins do not function on stone or metal walls. The walls must have a soft upper surface.

Vertical laser line

1. Secure a strong thread in the eyelet above the measurement point 1.

2. Hang the Multi-Measurement Detector on the wall at the position where you want to project the vertical line. The Manifold Measurer hangs like a plumbline, perpendicularly downwards. The laser throws a vertical line onto the wall.
