8. Applications
measurements. To obtain the best possible
result, attention must be paid to the geom-
etry, 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 measure-
ments are taken. The angle of the trian-
gle(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 auto-
matically restarts.
The most reliable results are achieved with
the closest offset to the object. Additionally
when using the combined version (double-
triangle), 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)
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 auto-
matically 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 sus-
pected minimum distance from the tool
with and stop the measurement by
pressing the "Measure" key.
6. After the last distance has been
measured, the range meter will
immediately calculate the indirect dis-
tance.
