Tracking - Minimum

D5-Z11

Determine the minimum dimension, e.g. ceiling height, 
without having to precisely align to the normal.

Press until

appears on the display.

Aim DISTO™ approximately at the target point.

Activate continuos measurement with a brief 
press.

Move the DISTO™ a large amount around the target point.

Stop continuous measurement.

The smallest measurement is displayed (e.g. 3.215m = 
height of room).

)

Both planes (e.g. floor/ ceiling, walls) must be 

nearly parallel to each other.

Tracking - Maximum

D5-Z12

Determine maximum dimension, e.g. to determine the 
(room) diagonal.

Press until

appears on the display.

Move the DISTO™ a large amount around the target point.

Activate continuous measurement with a brief 
press.

Slowly rotate the DISTO™ to the right/ left past the corner.

Stop continuous measurement.

The largest measurement is displayed (e.g. 12.314m = 
diagonal of room).

Calculations

Partial heights, partial distances

Make measurement.
Add by [ + ] key/ Subtract by[ - ] key.
Make additional measurements.

= Result.

)

In the same way 

chain values

 (= any amount of 

distance measurements) and sums of areas/ volumes can 
be added up.

)

During calculations "Clear" is available as long 

as the function has not been executed!
