Measure with offset (add/subtract
tolerance)
An offset automatically adds or subtracts a value to/
from all measurements. With this feature toler-ances
can be taken into consideration e.g. between unfi-
nished and finished dimensions.
Select the menu function
OFFSET
{
B, 21
} (OFFSET
blinks in the display), confirm with the
EQUAL
- key
{
A, 5
}. Adjust the OFFSET with the
PLUS
- key {
A, 3
}
or the
MINUS
- key {
A, 11
}.
By holding the keys down, the setting values will
increase/decrease faster. Once you have entered the
proper offset confirm your selection with the
EQUAL
- key {
A, 5
}. As long as an
OFFSET
{
B, 21
} is added/
subtracted the symbol is visible on the display.
Measuring with tripod
Using a tripod eliminates shaking when measuring
over long distances. On the back of the instrument is
an industry standard ¼"-threaded hole for use with a
camera tripod mounting screw. For correct measure-
ments the reference needs to be adapted. Select the
menu function TRIPOD {
B, 22
}. Confirm with the
EQUAL
- key {
A, 5
}. The corresponding symbol {
B, 5
}
is displayed permanently.
Continuous laser
Select the Menu function Continuous laser and
confirm with the
EQUAL
- key {
A, 5
}. The laser is now
on permanently and whenever the
DIST
- key {
A, 1
}
is pressed, a measurement is taken.
The laser is automatically switched off after 60
minutes.
Reset
When you select the menu function
RESET
and press
the
EQUAL
-key {
A, 5
} twice the device will default to
factory settings.
CAUTION:
Any customized presettings as well as
stored values will be deleted.
Operation
Switching On/Off
ON:
Press
ON
- key {
A, 1
} briefly. Battery indica-
tion is displayed until the next keystroke.
OFF:
Press and hold
OFF
- key {
A, 9
}. To maximize
battery life the laser beam will switch off after
3 minutes of inactivity, the device will auto-
matically switch off after 6 minutes of inacti-
vity.
CLEAR key
Pressing the
CLEAR
- key {
A, 9
} cancels the last
action.
While making area/volume or indirect measurements,
each single measurement can be deleted and remea-
sured.
