diameter is subtracted, the result is the distance between
the top of the pipe and the ceiling.
1. Press the “Measure” button (the laser beam will
switch on).
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.
The first distance will be measured and displayed
(the laser then switches off).
4. Use the right or left arrow buttons to select the
desired arithmetic function.
5. Press the “Measure” button.
The laser beam switches on.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the “Measure” button. The second distance
is then measured and displayed in the intermediate
result line. The result of the addition or subtraction
is shown in the result line. You can add or subtract
any desired number of distances.
NOTE
Whenever you see the + and – option in the
measuring function area of the display you may add
or subtract a second measurement using the same
function. If, for example, you are using the area
measurement function, you can use the right or left
arrow buttons to add or subtract several other areas.
7.3 Measuring areas and volumes
To measure areas and volumes, select the Areas and Vol-
umes application group. Select the appropriate function
for your measuring task.
7.3.1 Measuring rectangular areas
Each step of the area measurement operation is indicated
graphically in the display. To measure a rectangular area
you are required to measure two distances. For example,
to determine the floor area of a room, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Rectangular Area function from the Areas
and Volumes application group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.
The room width is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display automatically prompts you to
measure the length of the room.
4. Aim the tool at the next target to obtain the length
of the room.
5. Press the “Measure” button.
The second distance is then measured, the area
calculated immediately and the result is displayed
in the result line.
7.3.2 Measuring triangular areas
Each step of the area measurement operation is indi-
cated graphically in the display. To measure a triangular
area you are required to measure three distances. For
example, to determine the floor area of a room, proceed
as follows:
1. Select the Triangular Area function from the Areas
and Volumes application group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.
The first distance is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the target.
5. Press the “Measure” button.
The second distance is measured and displayed
in the intermediate result line. The graphic display
then automatically prompts you to measure the third
distance.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the “Measure” button.
The third distance is measured, the area is then
calculated immediately and the result displayed in
the result line.
7.3.3 Measuring volumes
Each step of the volume measurement operation is indi-
cated graphically in the display. For example, to deter-
mine the volume of a room, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Cube Volume function from the Areas and
Volumes application group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the “Measure” button.
The first distance is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the target.
5. Press the “Measure” button.
The second distance is measured and displayed in
the intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the third distance.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the “Measure” button.
The third distance is measured, the volume then
calculated immediately and the result displayed in
the result line.
