MEASURING MODES
Simple Length Measurement
For length measurements, push button 4 until the
"length measurement" indication
the display.
Push the measuring button 7
once for sighting and once more
to take the measurement.
The measured value is
displayed in the result line c.
For several subsequent length
measurements, the last measured results are
displayed in the measured-value lines a.
Continuous Measurement (Tracking)
The continuous measurement function (tracking)
is used for the transferring of measurements, e.g.,
from construction plans. In continuous measure-
ment mode, the rangefinder can be moved
relative to the target, whereby the measured
value is updated approx. every 0.5 seconds. As
an example, the user can move from a wall to the
required distance, while the actual distance can
be read continuously.
For continuous measurements, first select the
length measuring mode and then push the
measuring button 7 until the "indicator for
continuous measurement"
the display.
The laser is switched on and the measurement
starts immediately.
The current measured value is
displayed in the result line c.
Briefly pressing the measuring
button 7 ends the continuous
measurement. The last
measured value is displayed in
the result line c. Pressing the
measuring button 7 for several seconds restarts a
continuous measuring run.
The continuous measurement automatically
switches off after 5 min. The last measured value
remains indicated in the result line c.
Minimum/Maximum Measurement
(see figure F–G)
The minimum measurement is used to determine
the shortest distance from a fixed reference point.
It is used, as an example, for determining plumb
lines or horizontal partitions.
The maximum measurement is used to determine
the greatest distance from a fixed reference
point. It is used, as an example, for determining
diagonals.
For minimum/maximum measurement, first select
"length measurement mode" and then push
button 13 "min" is displayed in result line c for
minimum measurement. For maximum
appears on
appears on
-11-
measurements, push button 13 again, so that
"max" is displayed in the result line. Then push
the measuring button 7. The laser is switched on
and the measurement starts.
Move the laser back and forth over the requested
target (e.g., the room corner for determining the
diagonal) in such a manner that the reference
point of the measurement (e.g., the tip of the
extension pin 18) always remains at the
same location.
Depending on the set mode, the
minimum or maximum value is
displayed in the result line c. It is
always overwritten, when the
current length measurement
value is less than the present
minimal or larger than the
present maximal value. The maximal ("max"), the
minimal ("min") and the current measuring value
are displayed in the measured-value lines a.
To end the minimum/maximum measurement,
briefly push the measuring button 7. Pressing
the measuring button again starts a
new measurement.
The minimum/maximum measurement can also
be used for length measurements within other
measuring modes (e.g. area/surface
measurement).
For this, push button 13 once for minimal
measurement and twice for maximal
measurement each time when determining
individual measured values. Then push the
measuring button 7 to switch the laser beam on.
Move the rangefinder in such a manner that the
desired minimum or maximum value is measured,
and push the measuring button 7 to take over the
minimum or maximum value into the current
calculation.
For time-delayed length measurements and when
in stake-out mode, minimum/maximum
measurements are not possible.
The minimum/maximum measurement
automatically switches off after 5 min.
Area Measurement
For area/surface measurements, push button 4
until the indicator for area measurement
appears on the display.
Afterwards, measure the length and the width,
one after another, in the same manner as a
length measurement. The laser beam remains
switched on between both measurements.
After taking of the second
measurement, the area is
automatically calculated and
displayed in the result line c. The
individual measured values are
displayed in the measured-value
lines a.
