the
button.
Value (b) can be entered using
and
. The defined value (b)
is confirmed with the
button.
Pressing the
button starts the laser measurement. The display shows
required stake out distance in the summary line between the stake out
point (first a and then b) and the instrument (rear reference).
If the Stabila LD 500 is then moved slowly along the stake out line the
displayed distance decreases. The instrument starts to beep at a distance
of 0.1m from the next stake out point.
The arrows in the display
indicate in which direction the
Stabila LD 500 needs to be moved in order to achieve the defined distance
(either a or b). As soon as the staking out point is reached, the symbol
appears in the display.
The function can be stopped at any time by pressing the
button.
Indirect measurement
The instrument can calculate distances using Pythagoras’ theorem.
This procedure is helpful, if the distance to measure can not be reached
directly.
)
Make sure you adhere to the prescribed sequence of measure-
ment:
•
All target points must be in a horizontal or vertical plane.
•
The best results are achieved when the instrument is rotated about a
fixed point (e.g. with the positioning bracket fully folded out and the
instrument placed on a wall) or the Stabila LD 500 is mounted on a
tripod.
•
The minimum/maximum function can be used - see explanation in
"Measuring -> Minimum/maximum measurement". The minimum value
must be used for measurements at right angles to the target; the
maximum distance for all other measurements.
Indirect measurement - determining a distance using 2
auxilliary measurements
See figure {

}
e.g. for measuring building heights or widths. It is helpful to use a tripod
when measuring heights that require the measurement of two or three
measurements.
Press this button
once
, the display shows
. The laser is swit-
ched on.
Aim at the upper point (1) and trigger the measurement
. After
the first measurement the value is adopted. Keep the instrument as hori-
zontal as possible.
Press and hold down this button to trigger continuous measurement
, sweep the laser back and forth and up and down over the ideal target
point.
Press to stop continuous measurement (2). The result is displayed in
the summary line, the partial results in the secondary line.
Press and
hold
the
key to display additional information about the
measurement of the angles of the triangle
and

Indirect Measurement - determining a distance using 3
measurements
See figure {
Q
}
Press this button
twice
; the display shows the following symbol
. The laser is switched on.
Aim at the upper point (1) and trigger the measurement. After the
first measurement the value is adopted. Keep the instrument as horizontal
as possible
