Indirect height measurement (Pythagoras)
Using this method the length of an unknown straight-line
segment can be determined via the Pythagorean Theorem. This
method is suitable for e.g. height measurements.
A
B
Measurement requirements:
• The device is aligned horizontally to the lowest point (B) of
the line segment to be determined.
• The reference point is located at the rear of the device.
See chapter Setting the reference value.
1. Briefly press the Function button(8) three times.
ð The symbol
for indirect measurements appears on
the display.
ð The bar with number 1 (hypotenuse) flashes.
2. Aim the device at the highest point (A) and briefly press the
Switch-on/measurement button(7) once to perform a
measurement. Make sure to hold the device as steady as
possible and place it level on the ground with the two rear
edges. The position at the two rear edges must not be
changed during the measurements!
ð The length of the line segment will be indicated in the
1st line of the upper measurement value display.
3. Align the device horizontally (point B) and briefly press the
Switch-on/measurement button(7) one time to measure the
horizontal distance.
ð The second measured value will be indicated in the
second line of the upper measurement value display.
ð The line segment to be determined is displayed as
result in the lower measurement value display(15).
Twofold indirect height measurement
This method is suitable for e.g. height measurements.
A
B
C
1. Briefly press the Function button(8) four times.
ð The symbol
for indirect measurements appears on
the display.
2. First, aim the device at the highest point (C) and briefly
press the Switch-on/measurement button(7) once to
perform a measurement. In doing so, hold the device as
steady as possible. The alignment of the device in
relation to the reference point must not be changed
during the measurements!
ð The first measured value will be displayed in the upper
measurement value display.
3. Align the device horizontally (point B) and briefly press the
Switch-on/measurement button(7) one time to measure the
horizontal distance.
ð The second measured value will be indicated in the
second line of the upper measurement value display.
4. Aim the device at the lowest point (A) and briefly press the
Switch-on/measurement button(7) once to perform a
measurement.
ð The third measured value will be indicated in the third
line of the upper measurement value display.
ð The line segment to be determined is displayed as result in
the lower measurement value display(15).
