8 How to use
8.1 Measuring conditions
The quality of the measurement depends on the
surfaces to which you are measuring.
Measurement errors
Caution
Damage to property due to use of wrong
measuring results!
 Avoid measuring errors due to unexpected events
during distance measuring.
 Perform a control measurement.
10/146
Stanley TLM 130i.book Page 11 Tuesday, February 5, 2008 5:00 PM
Measuring errors are possible in case of:
Î colourless fluids (e.g. water)
Î clean, translucent glass
Î styrofoam or similar semi-translucent surfaces
Î strongly reflecting targets that deflect the
laserbeam
Î measurements aimed at moving objects
Causes:
Î Strongly reflecting targets deflect the laser
beam and cause measuring errors.
Î Non-reflecting, dark surfaces increase the
measuring time.
For constantly high-quality measurements
 Perform control measurements periodically.
 Perform control measurements before and
after important measurements.
8.2 Switching on/off
 Switch on the device by pressing key 4 briefly.
The device shows the battery symbol until another key is pressed.
 Switch off the device by holding key 5 for
several seconds.
If no key is pressed for 180 seconds, the device
switches off automatically.
8.3 Clear key
 Undo the most recent action by pressing key 5
briefly.
8.4 Adjusting the measuring
plane
See drawing F:
Rear measuring plane is the standard setting.
 For measurement from front edge, press key 7
for several seconds.
 For measurement from rear edge, press key 7
for several seconds again.
8.5 Unit setting
Metric system is the standard setting.
 To change the unit, hold key 6 for several
seconds.
With every keypress, the device switches to the
next unit.
Possible units:
Î feet inch fractional
Î summary row up to 1/16 inch
Î second row up to 1/8 inch
Î inch fractional
Î summary row up to 1/16 inch
Î second row up to 1/8 inch
Î meters with mm display
