Measuring
Single distance measuring
Pressing
DIST
- key {
A, 1
} turns the laser on. Aim at
the desired target and press
DIST
- key {
A, 1
} again.
The measured distance is displayed immediately in
the chosen unit.
Minimum/maximum measuring
This function allows the user to measure the
minimum or maximum distance from a fixed measu-
ring point as well as to determine spacing - see figure
{
J
}.
It is commonly used to measure diagonal distances
(maximum values) or horizontal distances (minimum
values).
Press and hold
DIST
- key {
A, 1
} until you hear a
beep, indicating the device is in a continuous measu-
ring mode. Then slowly sweep the laser back and
forth respectively up and down over the desired
target point - see figure {
K, L
} - (e.g. a corner in the
room).
Press
DIST
- key {
A, 1
} again and the continuous
measurement will be stopped. The values for
maximum and minimum distances are shown in the
display as well as the last measured value in the main
line.
With tilt activated, the tilt value of the maximum
measurement is displayed in the frame.
Functions
Addition/Subtraction
To add or subtract two or more measurements simply
works as follows:
Measu/- Measu/- Measure-
ment +/- …. = RESULT
Pressing the
EQUAL
- key {
A, 5
} ends the sequence
and displays the result in the main line; the actual
measurements are scrolled upwards in the display.
Pushing the
CLEAR
- key {
A, 9
} undoes the most
recent operation.
Areas and volumes can be added/subtracted in
exactly the same manner.
Area/Volume
Press the
AREA/VOLUME
- key {
A, 6
}. In the symbol
{
B, 11, 12
} the distance to be measured is high-
lighted. Make the required two or three measure-
ments and the result will be displayed in the summary
row. Press the
AREA/VOLUME
- key {
A, 6
} for a
longer period to display additional information
{
B, 13-15
}. Press the
AREA/VOLUME
- key {
A, 6
}
again for a longer period to return to the current
area-/volume measurement or a short press to make
the next area/volume measurement.
