Laser radiation!
Do not stare into beam
Class 2 laser
<1 mW 620-690nm
EN60825-1:2014
- Do not look into the laser beam or its reflection, with unprotected eye or
through an optical instrument. Do not point the laser beam at people or
animals without the need. You can dazzle them.
- To protect your eyes close them or look aside.
- It is prohibited to disassemble or repair the device yourself. Entrust the
device repair to qualified personnel and use original spare parts only.
- Do not use the device in explosive environment, close to flammable
materials.
- Avoid heating the batteries to avoid the risk of explosion and electrolyte
leakage. In case of liquid contact with skin, wash it immediately with soap
and water. In case of contact with eyes, flush with clean water during 10
minutes and consult the doctor.

OPERATION
Insert/replace batteries
Remove the battery cover. Insert the batteries, observing correct polarity.
Put the battery cover back.
Replace the batteries as soon as the error 203 appears on the display.
Remove the batteries from the device if it's not used for a long time to avoid
corrosion and battery discharge. All batteries must be replaced at the same
time. Both batteries must be of the same brand, with the same charge level.
Switch on/off
To switch on the device short press the button . The device will
switch on and enter single distance measurement mode.
To switch off the device press and hold the button during 3 seconds.
In order to save the battery power the device will switch off automatically
within 180 seconds after the last operation.
Reference point
It is possible to set the reference point either from the top or the bottom
end of the device.
The default reference point is the bottom end of the device.
To select the reference point press and hold the button
seconds. Corresponding indicator will appear on the display –
Measuring unit
To select required measuring unit (m, in, ft) press and hold the button
during 2 seconds.
MEASUREMENTS
Single distance measurement
Short press the button to switch on the device. Laser beam will be
switched on automatically. Aim the laser beam at the object of measurement
and short press the button to make a single distance measurement.
Measurement result will appear on the display. Short press the button
to delete the result of measurement and exit the mode.
Continuous measurement (tracking)
Press and hold the button during 3 seconds.
The device will take measurements one after another, showing the last
measured value in the main line, and the previous measured value in the first
line. Short press the button to stop measuring. Short press the
button to exit the mode.
CALCULATIONS
Addition/subtraction
Make a measurement. Short press the button to select either addition
or subtraction, and make the 2nd measurement. Calculation result will
appear in the main line on the display. The next measurements will also be
added/subtracted to/from the next measuring result.
Area
Short press the button once. Symbol will appear on the
display. Laser beam will be on. Short press the button
the 1st side (length). Short press the button to measure the 2nd
side (width). Area (composition of length and width) will be calculated and
appear in the main line on the display.
Short press the button to exit the mode.
Volume
Short press the button twice. Symbol will appear on the
display. Laser beam will be on. Short press the button
the 1st side (length). Short press the button to measure the
2nd side (width). Short press the button to measure the 3rd side
(height). Volume (composition of length, width and height) will be calculated
and appear in the main line on the display.
Short press the button to exit the mode.
Indirect measurement by Pythagoras' Theorem
Calculation of distance by using 2 additional measurements
Short press the button
3 times. Symbol will
appear on the display. Make
measurements of distance А
and В. Length of distance С will
during 2
be calculated and the result will
appear in the main line.
or .
Distance В must be perpendicular
to distance С and cannot be
longer than distance А.
Short press the button to exit the mode.
Calculation of distance by using 3 additional measurements
Distance D can be measured by making 3 additional measurements.
Short press the button 4 times. Symbol
display. Laser beam will be on. Make measurements of distances А, В and
С one by one.
After the last made measurement
calculation result (distance D) will
appear in the main line on the
display.
Short press the button to
exit the mode.
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS
Measurement range
The maximum measurement range is 30 m. At night, at dusk, or if the object
of measurement is shaded, the measurement range can be increased
without the use of a reflective plate. Use a reflective plate to increase the
measurement range during daylight hours, or if the object being measured
has a poor reflective surface.
Object surface
When measuring up to colorless liquids (e.g. water), dust-free glass,
polystyrene or similar translucent and glossy surfaces, the measurement
results may be wrong. When measuring to very dark surfaces, the
measurement time may increase.
