Note: If the measuring tool has been switched on using the
On/Off/Delete button 9 [
], briefly press the measuring
button 2 [
] to switch the laser on.
To initiate the measurement, briefly press the measuring but-
ton 2 [
]. Then the laser beam is switched off. For a further
measurement, repeat this process.
With the laser beam continuously switched on and when in
the continuous measurement function, the measurement be-
gins the first time you press the measuring button 2 [
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
Note: The measured value typically appears within 0.5 s and
no later than approx. 4 s. The duration of the measurement
depends on the distance, the lighting conditions and the re-
flective properties of the target surface. Upon completion of
the measurement, the laser beam is automatically switched
off. The continuously switched-on laser beam is not switched
off after the measurement (see "Permanent Laser Beam",
page 26).
Selecting the Reference Level (see figure A)
For the measurement, you can select between four reference
planes:
– the rear measuring-tool edge (e.g. when measuring on-
ward from a wall),
– The tip of the measuring pin 8 folded by 180° (e.g. when
measuring from a corner),
– the front measuring-tool edge (e.g. when measuring on-
ward from a table edge),
– the centre of thread 17 (e.g. for tripod measurements).
Folding out and in of the measuring pin 8 by 180° is detected
automatically and the appropriate reference level is suggest-
ed. Confirm the setting by pressing the measuring button 2
[
].
Use the soft key 3 [
] to select the settings for the measur-
ing tool. Use buttons 4 [+] or 11 [–] to select the reference
level and confirm this by pressing button 13 [Func].
The rear edge of the measuring tool is automatically preset as
the reference level every time the measuring tool is switched
on.
Permanent Laser Beam
If necessary, you can switch the measuring tool to permanent
laser beam operation. To do so, use soft key 3 [
the settings for the measuring tool. Use buttons 4 [+] or 11
[–] to select the permanent laser beam and confirm this by
pressing button 13 [Func].
Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not look into the laser beam yourself, not even from
a large distance.
In this setting, the laser beam remains switched on even be-
tween measurements; measurement simply requires one
brief press of the measuring button 2 [
The permanent laser beam can be switched off again in the
settings or automatically when the measuring tool is switched
off.
