Upon completion of the third measure-
ment, the volume is automatically calcu-
lated and displayed in the result line c.
The individual measured values are dis-
played in the measured-value lines a.

Values above 1000000 m cannot be indicated; "ERROR"
appears on the display. Divide the volume to be measured in-
to individual measurements; their values can then be calculat-
ed separately and then summarized.
Continuous Measurement (Tracking) / Minimum/Maxi-
mum 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 ex-
ample, 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 8
until the indicator for continuous measurement appears on
the display. To start the continuous 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 exam-
ple, 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 exam-
ple, for determining diagonals.
The current measuring value is displayed
in the result line c. The maximal ("max")
and the minimal ("min") measuring value
are displayed in the measured-value lines
a. It is always overwritten, when the cur-
rent length measurement value is 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 memory 4.
Pressing the measuring button 2 ends the continuous meas-
urement. The last measured value is displayed in the result
line c. Pressing the measuring button 2 again restarts a con-
tinuous measuring run.
Continuous measurement automatically switches off after 5 min.
The last measured value remains indicated in the result line c.
Indirect Distance Measurement
Note: Indirect distance measurement is always less accurate
than direct distance measurement. Depending on applica-
tion, greater measuring errors are possible than with direct
distance measurement. To improve the measuring accuracy,
we recommend using a tripod (accessory).
The indirect distance measurement is used to measure dis-
tances that cannot be measured directly because an obstacle
would obstruct the laser beam or no target surface is available
as a reflector. This measuring procedure can only be used in
vertical direction. Any deviation in horizontal direction leads
to measuring errors.
The laser beam remains switched on between the individual
measurements.

For indirect length measurements, three measuring modes
are available. Each measuring mode can be used for deter-
mining different distances.
a) Indirect height measurement (see figure C)
Press the function-mode button 8 until the indication for indi-
rect height measurement appears on the display.
1
Pay attention that the measuring tool is positioned at the
same height as the bottom measuring point. Now, tilt the
measuring tool around the reference plane and measure dis-
tance "1" as for a length measurement.
Upon completion of the measurement,
the result for the sought distance "X" is
displayed in the result line c. The measur-
ing values for the distance "1" and the an-
gle "α" are displayed in the measured-val-
ue lines a.
b) Double indirect height measurement (see figure D)
Press the function-mode button 8 until the indication for dou-
ble indirect height measurement
Measure distances "1" and "2" in this sequence as for a
length measurement.
Upon completion of the measurement,
the result for the sought distance "X" is
displayed in the result line c. The measur-
ing values for the distances "1", "2" and
the angle "α" are displayed in the meas-
ured-value lines a.
Pay attention that the reference plane of the measurement
(e.g. the rear edge of the measuring tool) remains exactly at
the same location for all individual measurements within a
measuring sequence.
c) Indirect length measurement (see figure E)
Press the function-mode button 8 until the indication for indi-
rect length measurement appears on the display.

Pay attention that the measuring tool is positioned at the
same height as the sought measuring point. Now, tilt the
measuring tool around the reference plane and measure dis-
tance "1" as for a length measurement.
Upon completion of the measurement,
the result for the sought distance "X" is
displayed in the result line c. The measur-
ing values for the distance "1" and the an-
gle "α" are displayed in the measured-val-
ue lines a.
Wall Surface Measurement (see figure F)
The wall surface measurement is used to determine the sum
of several individual surfaces with a common height.
In the example shown, the total surface of several walls that
have the same room height A, but different lengths B, are to
be determined.
For wall surface measurements, press the function-mode but-
ton 8 until the indicator for wall surface measurement
pears on the display.
appears on the display.
