8. Applications
8.4 Adding distances
Single distances can be conveniently added.
This is useful for determining door or
window openings or to add several partial
distances to form the perimeter.
1. Press the "Measure" key.
(The laser beam will be switched on.)
2. Direct the range meter towards
the target.
3. Press the "Measure" key.
The first distance will be measured
and shown.
(The laser will be switched off.)
4. Press the "Plus" key to add the next dis-
tance. The first distance will appear in
the middle intermediate result line and
a plus sign in the lowest one.
(The laser beam will be switched on.)
5. Aim the range meter at the next target.
6. Press the "Measure" key.
The second distance will be measured
and shown in the bottom intermediate
result line. The calculation result will
appear in the result line at the same
time.
The current total of the distances is always
shown in the result line.

This procedure can be repeated until all
distances have been added.
To terminate the addition of distances,
simply measure a distance without first
pressing the "Plus" key. The previous three
measurement and calculation results will
be in the intermediate displays.
8.5 Subtracting distances
Single distances can be conveniently
subtracted from each other. This is useful
for determining, for example, offsets to
inaccessible places or the distance from
the underside of a pipe to the ceiling. To do
so, the distance from the floor to the
underside of the pipe is subtracted from
the distance from the floor to the ceiling. If,
additionally, the pipe diameter is deducted,
the result is the distance from the top of
the pipe to the ceiling.
1. Press the "Measure" key.
(The laser beam will be switched on.)
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" key.
The first distance will be measured and
shown.
(The laser beam will switch off.)
4. Press the "Minus" key for subtraction.
The first distance will appear in the
middle intermediate result line and a
minus sign in the lowest one.
(The laser beam will switch on.)
