Continuous Laser Beam
Do not point the laser beam at persons or an-
imals and do not look into the laser beam
yourself, not even from a large distance.
In this setting, the laser beam also remains switched
on between measurements; for measuring, it is only
required to press the measuring button 2 once.

Measuring Functions

Simple Length Measurement
For length measurements, press button 12 until the
"length measurement" indication
display.
To switch the laser on and for meas-
uring, briefly press the measuring
button 2 once each time.
The measured value is displayed in
the result line c.
For several subsequent length meas-
urements, the last measured results are displayed in
the measured-value lines a.
Area Measurement
For area/surface measurements, press button 12 until
the indicator for area measurement
display.
Afterwards, measure the length and the width, one af-
ter another, in the same manner as a length measure-
ment. The laser beam remains switched on between
both measurements.
Upon completion of the second
measurement, the surface is auto-
matically calculated and displayed in
the result line c. The individual meas-
ured values are displayed in the
measured-value lines a.
Volume Measurement
For volume measurements, press button 12 until the
indicator for volume measurement
display.
Afterwards, measure the length, width and the height,
one after another, in the same manner as for a length
measurement. The laser beam remains switched on
between all three measurements.
Upon completion of the third meas-
urement, the volume is automatically
calculated and displayed in the result
line c. The individual measured val-
ues are displayed in the measured-
value lines a.

Values above 999999 m cannot be indicated;
"ERROR" appears on the display. Divide the volume
to be measured into individual measurements; their

values can then be calculated separately and then
summarized.
Continuous Measurement (Tracking) / Mini-
mum/Maximum Measurement (see figure B)
For continuous measurements, the measuring tool
can be moved relative to the target, whereby the
measuring value is updated approx. every
0.5 seconds. In this manner, as an example, you can
move a certain distance away from a wall, while the
actual distance can always be read.
For continuous measurements, press function mode
button 4 until the indicator for continuous measure-
ment appears on the display. To start the continuous
appears on the
measurement, press the measuring button 2.
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.
appears on the
less than the present minimal or larger than the
present maximal value.
The previous minimal and maximal values are deleted
by pressing the button for clearing the internal memo-
ry 8.
Pressing the measuring button 2 ends the continuous
measurement. The last measured value is displayed in
the result line c. Pressing the measuring button 2
again restarts a continuous measuring run.
Continuous measurement automatically switches off
after 5 min. The last measured value remains indicat-
ed in the result line c.

Indirect Distance Measurement
The indirect distance measurement is used to meas-
ure distances that cannot be measured directly be-
cause an obstacle would obstruct the laser beam or
no target surface is available as a reflector. This meas-
uring procedure can only be used in vertical direction.
Any deviation in horizontal direction leads to measur-
ing errors.
The laser beam remains switched on between the in-
dividual measurements.
For indirect length measurements, three measuring
modes are available. Each measuring mode can be
used for determining different distances.
The current measuring value is dis-
played in the result line c. The maxi-
mal ("max") and the minimal
("min") measuring value are dis-
played in the measured-value lines a.
It is always overwritten, when the
current length measurement value is
