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 sec-
onds 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 dis-
tances 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, continu-
ous 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.
