7. Operation
7.3.4 Measuring from corners
The spike is used when measuring
diagonally across rooms or from
inaccessible corners.
1. Fold out the spike 90°.
This automatically sets the measuring
reference to the end of the spike. The
range meter takes the extended
reference point into account and
corrects the measured distances
accordingly.
2. Position the range meter with the spike
at the desired starting point for the
measurement and aim towards the
target.
3. Press the "Measure" key. The measured
distance will appear in the display.
7.3.5 Measuring with the aid of target
objects
When taking measurements to exterior
corners, e.g. on buildings, perimeter
fences, etc., boards, bricks or other
suitable objects can be used as the target.
Use of the PDA 50 target plate is
recommended for long distances and in
unfavourable light conditions, e.g. strong
sunlight.
7.3.6 Measuring in bright surroundings
For long distances and bright light
conditions, we recommend the use of the
PDA 50 target plate.
