SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important

Please read all instructions prior to operating Sonic Laser Tape Measure.

Caution

Use of controls or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Warnings

Use of controls or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. The power of the emission
of the laser beam is less than 1mW in Class II (Europe) and less than 5mW
in Class IIIA (U.S.) and Class IIIR (Europe), so the following warnings must
be followed to avoid injury:

• DO NOT stare directly at the laser beam.

• DO NOT project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others / animals.

• DO NOT set up the tool at eye level or operate the tool on or near a

reflective surface, as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes
or the eyes of others.

HOW TO USE

1. With the base of the SLT50 held firmly

against the first wall or hard surface, press
the READ button to obtain the first
dimension. The first measurement will be
displayed on the top line of the display.
The W will now be flashing.

2. With the base of the SLT50 held firmly

against the second wall or hard surface,
press the READ button to obtain the
second measurement. The measurement
will be displayed on the top line of the
display; nothing will be displayed on the
bottom line. The H will now be flashing.

3. With the base of the SLT50 held firmly

against the third hard surface, press the
READ button to obtain the third
measurement. Now the third
measurement will be displayed on the top
line of the display and the volume
calculation will appear on the bottom line. The LWH icon will not be
flashing.

To review the 3 measurements, pressing the read button repeatedly will
scroll thru H, L, and W. To obtain another volume measurement, press the
C button to start the procedure over. To store the reading in memory, refer
to the section labeled “Measurement Storage”. To add measurements refer
to the section labeled “To Add Measurements”.

Measurement Storage

• The value on the display will be stored in one of five memory locations.

• For Length measurements, the top line of the display is transferred to

memory unless two or more lengths have been added. In this case, the
total from the bottom line of the display will be put into memory.

• For Area and Volume measurements, the bottom line of the display is

transferred to memory.

• The type of measurement is stored (sq for area or cu for volume) in

memory.

• The measurement will be stored in the current unit mode, but will be

recalculated if the unit mode is changed. For example if a measurement
of 16ft is stored and the units are changed to m, the memory location
will be changed to 4.9m.

1. To store a measurement in one of the five

memory locations, press the SEL button
while the value is displayed on the screen.
The current mode will flash on the top of
the screen.

2. Press the scroll buttons (

) until M

is flashing.

3. Press the SEL button.

4. Select which memory location to store the value by pressing the

scroll buttons ( or ) until the desired location is flashing.

5. Press the SEL button to chose the location. The screen will return to

the previous display.

*NOTE: Memory locations cannot be cleared. When a memory

new one.

new one.

Memory Retrieval

• The values stored in one of the five memory

locations will be displayed on the screen.

• The value will be restored to the bottom line

of the display.

1. Press the SEL button. The current mode

will flash at the top of the screen.

2. Press the scroll buttons ( or ) until M

is flashing.

3. Press the SEL button.

4. Select which memory location to restore

by pressing the scroll buttons ( or ) until the desired location is
flashing. The measurement stored in each location is shown on the
screen as the locations are scrolled. The measurement will be on the
bottom line of the display.

5. Press the SEL button to return to measure mode.

To add Measurements

• Measurements currently displayed on the screen can be added without

entering them in memory.

• This is useful when measuring the square footage of a house. The area

of each room can be added to the total one at a time.

• Different units of measure cannot be added. For example an Area cannot

be added to a Volume.

1. Put the SLT50 in the desired mode and take the first measurement.

For example Area mode and measure the first room.

2. When the first measurement is displayed (on the top line for Length

measurements and bottom line for Area and Volume measurements),
press the +/= button. A + sign is displayed on the left of the screen.
The unit is ready to make the next measurement.

3. For Length mode, press the READ button once. For Area or Volume,

follow the appropriate procedure to obtain the next measurement.
While obtaining an Area or Volume during the addition process,
pressing the C key once will start that measurement over from the
beginning, but the addition will still be in progress.

4. When the measurement is obtained, press the +/= key to add the

measurement to the total. The new total is displayed on the bottom
line.

5. Press the +/= key to add another measurement.

To Add Measurements in Memory

• The units have to be of the same type (Length,

Area, or Volume).

1. Calculate first measurement: Length,

Area, or Volume.

2. With the first measurement displayed on

the screen, press the +/= button. A + will be displayed on the left
side of the display.

3. Press SEL button. The current mode will

flash at the top of the screen.

4. Press the scroll buttons ( or ) until M

is flashing.

5. Press the SEL button. The memory location

icons are displayed with the first one flashing.

6. Press the scroll buttons ( or ) until the desired memory location is

flashing. Only memory locations that have the same type of
measurement (Length, Area, or Volume) can be used. As the locations
are scrolled, the screen will display the stored measurement. The
type of measurement is indicated on the screen by the units next
to the measurement.

7. Press SEL to choose the measurement. The measurements will be

totaled and the result displayed on the bottom line of the display.

Important Notes

Inaccurate measurement may result from the following:

• When the battery runs low (please replace the battery when the “Low

Battery” icon

is displayed on the screen)

• When the measured distance is out of the specified range.

• When another ultrasonic source is nearby.

• When the unit is not perpendicular to the target.

An error message “err” will be displayed under the following conditions:

• The target surface does not provide good reflection for the ultrasonic

pulse (i.e. soft and irregular surface such as thick carpet, curtain, or
irregular wall paper).

• The distance measured is out of the specified range (less than 1’10” or

greater than 50’).

• The unit is not perpendicular to the target.

Care and Handling

• The SLT50 is a precision instrument, which must be handled with care.

• Avoid shock, vibrations and extreme heat.

• Avoid dust and water. If needed, use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to

clean the screen.

• Keep the laser tool dry and clean.

• Check battery regularly to avoid deterioration.

• Remove battery if the laser tool is to be stored for an extended period of

time.
