1. Introduction Dear customer, Thank you for purchasing this product. This product complies with statutory national and European regulations. To ensure that the product remains in this state and to guarantee safe operation, always follow the instructions in this manual. These operating instructions are part of this product.
3. Intended use The product is used for the measurement of distances, surfaces and volumes. Allows addition and subtraction of readings. Calculates height based on the Pythagorean Theorem. The product can be connected via Bluetooth with a smartphone app. The app allows you to edit and evaluate the measured data.
4. Package contents • Laser rangefinder • USB charging cable • Storage pouch • Hand strap • 3x rechargeable battery (NiMH, 900 mAh) • Operating instructions The manual for the app is available for download as a separate document. Refer to the following paragraph.
• Automatic shut-off after 3 minutes • Digital water level • Touchscreen • Bluetooth function for connection to a smartphone app • Camera for targeting (only LDM X100) 6. Safety instructions Read the operating instructions and safety information carefully. If you do not follow the...
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent unauthorised use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product: - is visibly damaged, - is no longer working properly, - has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or - has been subjected to any serious transport-related stress.

• Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can seriously damage your eyes. • If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your head away from the beam. •...
c) Batteries • Ensure that you insert the batteries in the correct polarity. • To prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when you do not plan to use the product for an extended period. Leaking or damaged batteries may cause acid burns if they come into contact with your skin.
Example: indirect measurement with two reference points Measurement reference Angle Bluetooth Measurement mode C Digital water level G Measurement reading D Battery condition b) Measurement reading Example: Volume measurement H Measurement mode Third line segment First line segment Volume Second line segment 9.

• Slide the battery compartment cover down. • Remove the battery compartment cover. If you have difficulty removing the battery compartment cover, use a tool to help (e.g. slotted screwdriver). • Insert 3 AAA batteries or rechargeable batteries with correct polarity. Pay attention to the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.
Then the charging process starts. • The rechargeable batteries are charged when the battery state indicator is lit green. • Only LDM X100: If you charge the product via a computer, safely eject the product via the operating system.
• Disconnect the cable from the product and from the power source as soon as the rechargeable batteries are charged. 11. Switch device/laser on/off • Press and hold the on/off button approx. 1 second to turn on the product. • Briefly press the MEAS button to activate the laser. •...

Unit The following units are available: • m = meters • in = inch • ft = foot • ---’--” = feet/inches Measurement reference The following measurement references are available: Starting point: Back The length of the device is included in the measured value.
Memory • Press the MEAS button or swipe left/right to display the stored measured values. • Only LDM X100: To delete the displayed measured value, press the camera button. The last measurement results will be stored automatically.
• The display shows the maximum, minimum and the last registered measured value of the measurement process. • To exit continuous measurement mode, press the MEAS or the on/off button. • After 5 minutes of inactivity, this feature is automatically deactivated.
• Measure the two sides and the height of the room. • The device automatically multiplies the measured values. 18. Indirect measurement The Pythagorean theorem (a ) can be used to indirectly determine the height of an object. Make sure that the starting point for the individual measurements is exactly the same position.
• Now measure the two required line segments. Please see the previous figure for the right order. • The height is calculated automatically and will appear in the bottom row. b) With three reference points - Variant A • Swipe right and select the following function: •...
c) With three reference points - Variant B • Swipe right and select the following function: • Now measure the three required line segments. Please see the previous figure for the right order. • The partial height between points 1 + 2 is automatically calculated and displayed in the bottom line.
• Now measure the necessary line segment (see the previous figure). • The result is calculated automatically. 20. Automatic height calculation • Swipe right and select the following function: • Now measure the two required line segments. Please see the previous figure for the right order. •...
• A warning message appears on the display. The device calibrates. Do not move the device during this time. Wait until the warning message disappears. If self-calibration fails, the list of all measurement modes is shown again. Repeat the procedure in this case.
• The sum or difference will be shown in the bottom row. This process can be repeated as often as desired. You can also add/subtract areas or volumes. 23. Camera (only LDM X100) Instead of the target laser, you can use the built-in camera to target the measuring point.
Previously registered values are retained in the buffer. 24. Data export (only LDM X100) As soon as the product is connected to a computer, the charging process starts. If you operate the product with conventional, non-rechargeable batteries, remove them before connecting the product to a computer.
25. Tips and useful information • Measuring errors may occur when operating the product outdoors due to light refraction or sunlight. Perform measurements in suitable light conditions. • Due to their physical properties, the following surfaces may falsify the measurements: - Transparent surfaces (e.g.
Code Cause Solution Outside of the Observe the measurement range measuring range. Turn the device off and then on again. If after several Hardware error attempts the error message still appears, contact your retailer. 27. Care and cleaning Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the casing or cause the product to malfunction.
