The Measurement Module
The hand-held measurement module, linked to the base unit by its polymer
cord, is the COMPULEVEL
elevation measurements.
When taking measurements, the bottom and back of the measurement
module are the only sides that may be used interchangeably for
measurements. Hold the module level at the point where you want to
measure. Measure near the centre of either the back or the bottom.
Other sides may be used throughout any series of measurements, but
measure only with the surface you used to zero COMPULEVEL
change one surface to another for measuring without re-zeroing the unit.
Never invert the measurement module without compensation (see
illustration) unless it was inverted when zeroed. It will not show the
correct elevation.
Example: To measure the distance between the floor and ceiling in the
illustration on the opposite page: first, zero the measurement module on
its back or bottom on the floor. Then place its top, bottom, or back against
the ceiling to take a reading. To get the correct measurement, you then
manually add the height or thickness of the measurement module to the
display reading, or do so automatically using the ADDER function
described later.
Display reading is equivalent for measurements taken
from back or bottom.

To avoid adding values, use the same side for start
and finish, without rotating or inverting.
