Measuring Procedure
DANGER: Do not point the laser beam at
other persons or animals!
Length Measurement
Switch on the laser with the pushbutton.
Align the laser point onto the target and actuate
a length measurement by once more briefly
pressing the pushbutton. The measured
length is indicated in the display.
☞ The laser automatically switches off
60 seconds after the last pushbutton actu-
ation.
NOTE: Measurement errors can occur on the
following surfaces: Transparent liquids, glass,
Styrofoam, semipermeable surfaces, glossy sur-
faces. Measurements on dark and matt surfaces
lead to increased measuring periods.
Tracking
Tracking is suitable for determining the diago-
nal within a space ➍ (greatest determined
length) or the right-angled length onto a wall ➎
(shortest determined length). It is also suitable
for marking out distances ➏.
Switch on the laser with the pushbutton.
Align the laser point onto the target and actuate
the continuous measurement by once more
pressing the pushbutton for a longer
period. During the measurement, the laser point
must be moved over the target.
A fast beeping tone sounds during the measur-
ing.
End the measurement by pressing the push-
button. The greatest, the shortest and the last
measured distance are indicated in the display
Addition/Subtraction
– Measure a distance.
– Press button or .
– Measure a 2. distance.
The two measured values and the result are indi-
cated.
Pressing the button 1x briefly resets the last
step.
Area Measurement
– Press the button 1x briefly.
The area symbol appears on the display
and the laser is activated.
– Press pushbutton and take the first length
measurement (e. g. length).
– Press pushbutton and take the second
length measurement (e. g. width).
The two measured values and the resulting area
are indicated in the display.
☞ The area measure is correct only when
the measurements have been taken at a
right angle to each other.
Volume Measurement
– Press the button 2x briefly.
The volume symbol appears on the dis-
play and the laser is switched on.
– Press pushbutton and take the first length
measurement (e. g. length).
– Press pushbutton and take the second
length measurement (e. g. width). The area
measure appears on the display!
– Press pushbutton and take the third
length measurement (e. g. height).
The three measured values and the resulting vol-
ume are indicated in the display.
☞ The volume measure is correct only when
the measurements have been taken at a
right angle to each other.
Measurement using the Pythagoras
Theorem
The device can determine a distance based on
auxiliary measurements in accordance with the
mathematical Pythagoras’ theorem. This is use-
ful when a direct measurement cannot be taken.
❏ The measured points must be in one line.
❏ The measuring sequence shown in figures ➐
➑ must be adhered to.
❏ Best results are achieved when the device is
turned around a firm point. As an example,
place the device against a wall and turn it
around the completely folded out stop/rest
angle.
❏ Use the tracking function to determine the small-
est distance rectangular to the target and the
greatest distance for the other measurements.
❏ The automatic release/timer can be used.
