Measurements Using Pythagoras Functions; Function Group 'Pythagoras' - Hilti PD-C Manual De Instrucciones Original

Note
Take care to ensure that the reference position remains unchanged during the entire measuring
operation. Use of the short measuring extension is helpful.
This indirect function makes use of the angle sensor, which works only with a vertical pivot. In
other words, the display can face upwards or downwards, but should not be tilted to the left or
right. If it is tilted to the side by more than 5° then the inclination indication disappears from the
display and angle measurement is no longer possible.
2. Measure the distance to the lower end point.
3. Keeping the reference position unchanged, pivot the tool vertically towards the upper end point. Switch
the aiming camera on if the end point you are targeting is not reflective.
4. Take the measurement to the end point.
◁ The tool measures the angle to the end point and the result is displayed.
Note
Adjust the inclination sensor at regular intervals ( → page 55). This helps ensure high measuring
accuracy .
6.4.8 Minimum and maximum distances and the difference between them within an area
6.4.8.1 Min/Max/Delta
This function activates continuous measurement. By sliding the tool along a level reference surface during a
measurement, for example, or rotating it around a point of reference, you can determine the maximum and
minimum distance from the reference object, as well as the difference between the minimum and maximum
values.
6.4.8.2 Determining the difference between the minimum and maximum distances within an area
1. Activate the 'Min/Max/Delta' function.
2. Position the tool.
3. Press a measure button.
◁ Continuous measurement begins.
4. Move the tool along the reference line or reference plane.
5. Press a "Measure" button again.
◁ The measurement ends and the result is displayed.

6.5 Measurements using Pythagoras functions

6.5.1 Function group 'Pythagoras'

Note
You will obtain the most accurate results for the 'Indirect' and 'Pythagoras' functions if you use
exactly the same point of contact and pivot axis for every measurement.
Note
Pythagoras functions are particularly helpful for measuring horizontal and vertical lengths indirectly as
these cannot be measured using the functions of the 'Indirect' group.
6.5.2 Function'Pythagoras I'
This function indirectly determines the length of a section by taking a 90° measurement to the starting point
of the section. This is useful for determining the lengths of horizontal sections.
6.5.3 Measuring using the 'Pythagoras I' function
1. Measure the distance to the closer section end point from a position at right angles.
