The arrow points up for Fill. On the bottom line, the F or the negative
symbol indicate ”Fill”.
Note: The C or F won’t be displayed if the relative value is > 10 ft (3 m).
Press SET to leave Cut-and-Fill mode and return to standard
measurement mode. Or, press ON/OFF for two seconds to
turn SmartRod off.
• Tape Measure Mode
• This function enables you to use the SmartRod as a measuring
stick to measure lengths, widths, or heights (eg: inside a
building). You do not need a rotating laser to do this.
• Press & hold SET
for a few seconds to
activate the Tape Measure Mode. The tall arrow
appears next to the rod picture on the LCD.
• Extend the bottom section so the control
panel is at eye level (twist left to unlock, extend,
twist right to lock). Extend the other rod elements
as needed.
• Press ON/OFF
to measure and display the value. This is the
length from the bottom to the top of the rod.
• Press and hold ON/OFF for two seconds to turn SmartRod off.
If there’s no LCD read-out, check this on the SmartRod
• The rod should be turned so the reception window is towards
the laser.
• Raise or lower a section of the SmartRod to ensure that the
reception window is capturing the beam.
• Check if either set of batteries (top compartment or LCD)
is depleted.
• The reception window has to be clean.
If there’s no LCD read-out or it’s intermittent,
check this on the laser
• The rotation speed of the laser must be 300 rpm or faster; if not,
the SmartRod will beep but will not indicate a height value.
• Are you within the laser operating range?
• If there is a glass housing around the rotating head, is it clean?
• If you cannot pick up the beam, check how you are lined up with
the laser. One of the head protection supports on the laser may be
blocking the beam; move to the left or right to receive the beam.
Or, remove the head protection.
If the readings are inconsistent
• The SmartRod measurement is temperature compensated,
however a thermal shock can temporarily affect the precision of
your measurement. When a high accuracy is needed and the unit
is exposed to a quick temperature change, it is recommended that
you completely extend and collapse it once or twice to reach
uniform temperature before taking measurements.
If the laser receiver batteries (top compartment)
don't last long enough
• Don’t push the red button to go into measurement mode until the
moment you’re ready to extend the rod to capture the beam.
As soon as you push the button, the laser receiver starts working
