! keep in mind that the tool
measures from its rear (the
tool length is included in the
measuring result)
- press main button G to activate
laser and press main button G again
do take a consecutive measurement
(up to 4 measurements can be
displayed)
• Area measurement 9
- press main button G to activate
the laser
- aim at the first target (e.g. width) and
press main button G to display the
first dimension in the first row
- aim at the second target (e.g.
length) and press main button G to
display the second dimension in the
second row
- the laser is automatically
deactivated and calculated area is
displayed in the lowest row
- press main button G again to make
a new measurement
• Real-time measurement q
- this mode can be used to move the
tool relative to the target and the
continuously updated distance is
displayed
- press main button G to activate
the laser
- press main button G again to start
measuring, the tool will start to beep
- press main button G again to
deactivate the laser and end the
measurement
• Indirect measurement w
- this mode can be used to calculate
distances that cannot be measured
because of an obstruction by an
obstacle or the lack of a target
surface
- press main button G to activate
the laser
- position the tool at point A and aim
at point B, the real-time angle is
displayed
! if the display shows --.-º the tool
is inclined to the left or right
too much and the measurement
cannot be made
- press main button G again and the
measured distance AB and the
angle are displayed and distances a
and b are calculated
! the calculated length a is
absolutely level and the angle
between a and b is 90º, which
may differ from real situation
• Digital levelling e
- place the tool with the angle
measurement base F on the surface
to be measured
- the display shows the angle
between the surface and absolute
level
! if the display shows --.-º the
tool is inclined to forward or
backward too much and the
measurement cannot be made
e b
- to level or plumb the working
surface, move the surface until the
display shows 0º or 90º
- if the deviation is within ±10º of
0° and 90°, fine-tuning arrows are
shown which vary in direction and
height relative to the target e c
- instead of using absolute level, you
can also set a reference by pressing
and holding DOWN button E for 1
second; the display shows REF. and
0°, the angle can now be measured
relative to this reference
- press and hold DOWN button E
for 1 second again to remove the
reference and return to absolute
level
- to hold a measurement, press main
button G and the display shows
HOLD and the measured angle
- press main button G again to
release the hold
APPLICATION ADVICE
• When error messages occur in the
display C, press any button to go back
to the initial measurement display
• Faulty measurements cannot be
excluded when measuring to different
surfaces; the problematic surfaces are:
- transparent surfaces (e.g., glass,
water)
- reflective surfaces (e.g., polished
metal, glass)
- porous surface (e.g., insulation
materials)
- structured surfaces (e.g., roughcast,
natural stone)
