DM40 4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1. Initial operations and settings Press the key to switch on the instrument and the laser pointer. Press and hold the key to switch off the instrument. Press the key to clear (CLR) the last datum shown on the display.
DM40 4.3. Distance measurement 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the to activate the laser pointer 2. Use the laser pointer to precisely determine the measuring point, keeping the instrument perpendicular as possible with respect to the surface of the object to be measured 3.
DM40 5. Press the key to exit the continuous measuring mode and go back to normal mode Fig. some applications continuous measurement are indicated Fig. 4: Applications of continuous measurement 4.5. Additions / subtractions of measures When measuring distance, it is possible to use the following functions: Function The subsequent measure is added to...
DM40 4.6. Area measurement This measurement allows calculating the area of surfaces expressed in m , in or ft 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key to enter the Area/Volume measuring section.
DM40 4.7. Volume measurement This measurement allows calculating the volume of solids expressed in m , in or ft 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key twice to enter the Area/Volume measuring section.
DM40 4.8. Indirect 2-point measurement Indirect measurement allows precisely evaluating a distance between two points on a vertical wall (height) exploiting mathematical principle Pythagorean theorem. For accurate measures we recommend using a tripod. 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the to select the desired type of reference (see §...
DM40 4.9. Indirect 3-point measurement 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key twice to enter the indirect 3-point measuring section. The symbol “ “ appears on the display with side “1”...
DM40 4.10. Operations with the memory The instrument is provided with a memory section in which it is possible to recall measuring results. It is possible to save up to 20 measurements, shown in reverse order. Use the keys for internal navigation. ...
DM40 5. MEASURING CONDITIONS Measuring range The instrument's measuring range is 40m. At night, under poor visibility conditions or if the surface to be measured is in shadow, the measuring range can be reduced. To prevent this, carry out measurements during the day or use luminous plates when the object to be measured has poor reflecting properties.
DM40 7. ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY Code Description Solution Press and repeat Calculation error procedure Weak signal reflection, Carry out measurement measuring time appropriate long, distance > 40m or surface <5cm Turn off the instrument and turn it on again several times.
DM40 10. SERVICE 10.1. Warranty conditions This instrument is warranted against any material or manufacturing defect, in compliance with the general sales conditions. During the warranty period, the manufacturer reserves the right to repair or replace the product. Should the instrument be returned to the After-sales Service or to a Dealer, transport will be at the Customers charge.
