Measuring Functions

Length Measurement
For length measurement, push button 5. The in-
dicator for length measurement appears in the
display .
Press the measuring button
9 once for sighting and once
more to take the measure-
ment.
The measured value is indi-
cated at the bottom in the
display.
Area Measurement
For area measurements, push button 4. The in-
dicator for area measurement appears in the
display .
Afterwards, measure the length and the width,
one after another, in the same manner as a length
measurement. The laser beam remains switched
on between both measurements.
After taking the second
measurement, the area/sur-
face is automatically calcu-
lated and displayed. The last
individual measured value is
indicated at the bottom in
the display, while the final
result is shown at the top.
Volume Measurement
For volume measurements, push button 10. The
indicator for volume measurement appears in the
display .
Afterwards, measure the length, width and the
height, one after another, in the same manner as
for a length measurement. The laser beam re-
mains switched on between all three measure-
ments.
Bosch Power Tools
After taking the third meas-
urement, the volume is au-
tomatically calculated and
displayed. The last individu-
al measured value is indicat-
ed at the bottom in the dis-
play, while the final result is
shown at the top.
3
Values above 99999 ft cannot be indicated;
"Err." and " –––– " appear on the display. When
3
the "ft " value is too large, switch to "m" (see
"Changing the Unit of Measure", page 18).
Continuous Measurement (Tracking)
(see figure D)
The continuous measurement function (tracking)
is used for the transferring of measurements,
e.g., from construction plans. In continuous
measurement mode, the measuring tool can be
moved relative to the target, whereby the meas-
ured value is updated approx. every 0.5 seconds.
As an example, the user can move from a wall to
the required distance, while the actual distance
can be read continuously.
For continuous measurements, first select the
length measuring function and then press button 9
until the indicator for continuous measurement
appears on the display. The laser is switched on
and the measurement starts immediately.
Move the measuring tool
until the required distance
value is indicated in the
bottom of the display.
Briefly pressing button 9
ends the continuous meas-
urement. The last measured
value is indicated at the bottom in the display.
Pressing button 9 for several seconds restarts a
continuous measuring run.
The continuous measuring automatically switches
off after 5 min. The last measured value remains
indicated in the display.
