It can also measure height using the Pythagorean Theorem. The eD560L laser distance meter is designed to meet the needs of professionals engaged in surveying, construction, traffic, real estate, urban planning, fire fighting, farm and garden. You will also find it incredibly useful for many home improvement projects.

Do not use the instrument in a flammable or explosive environment. Do not use this meter in areas where it is prohibited e.g. near airports and hospitals, or where it would be in violation of the law. To ensure proper operation avoid using this instrument in areas with strong electromagnetic interference.

1.5 How to Use Your Laser Distance Meter Power On/Off Press the MEAS key to turn on the instrument and laser. Hold down the CLR key to turn the instrument off. It will power off automatically after 3 minutes without use. Canceling an Operation / Clearing Display Press the CLR key to cancel the last operation or to clear the display.
Setting the Reference Edge of the Instrument for your Measurements The default setting for the reference edge of the instrument is its back edge. This means that any distance measurements you take will be referenced to the back edge of the meter. You can choose to use the front edge of the meter as the reference edge instead.
Backlight Hold down the key to turn the backlight on or off. Setting of Power-On Defaults and Optional Modes To change the power-on defaults and other optional modes turn the meter on first, then hold down the key until the reference edge/laser icon is displayed.
Use the “+” and “-“ keys to fine tune the CAL 0 precision by up to ±7mm (offset). Use the “+” and “-“ keys to enable or bP. on/oFF disable the beeper. Use the “+” and “-“ keys to select bL.

Continuous Measurement and Maximum/Minimum Value Hold down the key until you hear the beeper. This will place the meter into continuous measurement mode. Use the laser to scan the target area, e.g. a corner. The continuous measurement mode allows you to determine the maximum or minimum distance such as the measurement of a diagonal distance (maximum value) or vertical distance (minimum value) of a room.

Adding and Subtracting Multiple Distance Measurements Addition: Take your first distance measurement. Then press the key once. The first row of the secondary display area will now show your initial measurement and the “+” sign. Any subsequent measurements will now be added to the previous one(s).
Area Measurement Press the key once, you will see the icon. Press the key to measure the first distance (e.g. length). Press the key again to measure the second distance (e.g. width). The meter will calculate the area and show the result in the main display area.
Volume Measurement Press the key twice and the icon will be displayed. Press the key to measure the first distance (e.g. length). Press the key again to measure the second distance (e.g. width). Press the key a third time to measure the third distance (e.g.
Indirect Measurements The instrument can calculate a distance with use of the Pythagorean Theorem automatically. The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Page 17
Pythagorean Theorem (the distance of the hypotenuse is longer than the distance of the right-angle edges), the calculated length of the third triangle side will be displayed in the main display area. The measurement values of the hypotenuse and right-angle edges will be displayed in the secondary display area.

Indirect Measurement Mode 2: Press the key twice and the icon will be displayed. Follow the prompt of the flashing icon: Press the key once to measure the hypotenuse of the first triangle (pointing upward). Press the key again to measure the common right-angle side of the two triangles.
Page 19
measurement values of the hypotenuse and right-angle sides (a, b, and c) will be displayed in the secondary display area.
Page 20
Indirect Measurement Mode 3: Press the key three times and the icon will be displayed. Follow the prompt of the flashing icon: Press the key once to measure the hypotenuse of the first triangle. Press the key again to measure the common side of the two triangles.

If the measurement result meets the requirements of the Pythagorean Theorem, the calculated height x (see diagram below) will be displayed in the main display area. The individual measurement values of the triangle sides will be displayed in the secondary display area. Note: when measurements are made in the Pythagorean mode, the length of the right-angle side must be less than that of the hypotenuse.
Setting-Out Measurements Hold down the key to enter the setting-out function. First, value a is being set, its second digit will flash. Select the desired value for this digit by pressing the + and – keys (0 to 9). To change digits, press the key.
nearest setting-out point, the main display area shows the distance from the current position to the setting-out point. A positive value means the current position is larger than the distance of the setting-out point and a negative value means it is less.

measurements. The latest measurement will automatically be added to the end of the data buffer at storage location 20. All other values will be shifted down by one storage location towards 1, so that the buffer always contains the last 20 measurements.

Error Code Causes Solution Calculation error Measure again The received signal is Use a sighting too weak and the device measurement time is long. Power the Hardware failure instrument on and off multiple times. If the error persists, please contact ennoLogic.
Measurement Conditions Operating the instrument in extreme environmental conditions may cause substantial errors. Examples include bright sunshine, extreme temperatures, poor surface reflections and low batteries. Under these conditions applying a reflective sheet to the target surface may improve results. Transparent or clear measurement target surface (such as water, clear glass, etc.) may lead to inaccurate measurements.
