7 Operation

7.1 Switching the tool off and on
Press the on/off button.
7.2 Changing the measurement units
If you wish to change the measurement unit displayed
(switch between "cm" and "inch"), proceed as follows:
With the tool switched on, press and hold the transmitter
on/off button for approx. 5 sec. until the symbol changes.
The selected measuring unit remains active each time the
tool is switched on.
7.3 Setting up the transmitter 1 3
Use the center hole or the outer marks to align the
transmitter with the reference point and then fix it in
position. Two different adhesive aids are supplied with
the tool for this purpose.
NOTE
- It is recommended that the adhesive putty is used
wherever possible. Nevertheless, neither the adhesive
putty nor the adhesive strips are able to guarantee an
absolutely secure hold.
- It is recommended that the tool is additionally secured
by way of the hand strap and a nail or screw or some
similar means of mechanical attachment.
- To further increase its security, the tool can be held by
a second person.
Check to ensure that the transmitter is always set up
parallel to the surface.
7.3.1 PUA 91 adhesive putty for general use
NOTE
The adhesive putty adheres to various surfaces. The
surface should be dry and free from dust and grease.
This will ensure that best results are achieved.
NOTE
The adhesive putty can be reused. It is recommended
that the putty balls are reformed when reused.
NOTE
The adhesive putty can be reused until a secure hold is no
longer obtained due to the dirt and dust it has collected.
NOTE
The adhesive putty leaves marks on the surface to which
it is applied and may pull fragments away from it when
removed. If this presents a problem, an alternative means
of attachment should be employed.

1. Remove the batteries from the packaging and insert
them in the tool.
2. Check that the battery terminals are positioned cor-
rectly as shown on the underside of each tool.
The adhesive putty is used to attach the transmitter to a
wall or ceiling.
1. Form three balls of approximately equal size, i.e. 1
cm (0.4 in) in diameter.
NOTE Depending on the type of surface, it may be
necessary to adjust the quantity of putty used.
2. Place these in the indentations on the underside of
the transmitter.
3. Attach the transmitter securely to the wall or ceiling
by pressing it against the surface.
7.3.2 PUA 92 adhesive strips for interior use
NOTE
The adhesive strips adhere to various surfaces. The sur-
face must be dry and free from dust and grease. This will
ensure that best results are achieved.
NOTE
Use the adhesive strips within the ambient temperature
range of 10 to 40 °C (+50 °F to +104 °F).
The adhesive strips are used to attach the transmitter to
a wall or ceiling.
1. Apply two strips (top and bottom) to the underside
of the transmitter.
NOTE The red side should be applied to the trans-
mitter and the black side to the wall or ceiling.
NOTE The end should be allowed to project about
a finger width beyond the side of the tool.
NOTE Use of two strips is recommended. It may be
necessary to use several strips on certain types of
surface.
2. Press the transmitter firmly against the wall or ceil-
ing.
3. When removing the adhesive strips, pull them away
slowly, parallel to the surface.
NOTE The adhesive strips may pull fragments away
from the surface when removed.
7.4 Working with the receiver
CAUTION
Check that no other PX 10T transmitter is in operation in
the immediate vicinity of the transmitter you are using.
NOTE
The receiver must always be positioned parallel to the
transmitter.
