In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used: Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could damage the instrument or its components. Warning: always prevent the laser from radiating to your eyes, in order to prevent any injury.
2. PREPARATION FOR USE 2.1. Initial checks Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that it is delivered undamaged. However, we recommend generally checking the instrument in order to detect possible damage suffered during transport.
3.3. General description of the instrument iDM70 has the following functions: Direct measurement of distances expressed in m/in/ft and ft+in Measurement of area and volume Indirect 2- and 3-point distance measurement (Pitagora) Distance measurement in continuous mode ...
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.

Tripod (see Fig. 2 – Pos. 4) Press and hold the key for 2s. Measurement is carried out from the hole where the tripod is inserted Instrument + stand level The instrument is provided with a stand which can be opened to comfortably rest the unit on horizontal surfaces Fig.
4.3. Distance measurement 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the or the side MEAS key 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.
Fig. some applications continuous measurement are indicated Fig. 6: 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 the previous one. The result of the sum is shown on the resulting display.
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 or the side MEAS key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2.
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.
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 §...
4.9. Indirect 3-point measurement The instrument performs indirect 3-point measurement in two different modes, described below. Mode “ ” 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.

Mode “ ” 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key three times to enter the indirect 3- point measuring section. The symbol “...
4.10. Measurement of tilt and distance This measurement allows for an evaluation of the tilt with respect to the horizontal by means of an internal sensor and of the distance between two points through trigonometric calculation. For accurate measures we recommend using a tripod 1.
4.12. Distance measurement with thresholds The instrument measures distance continuously by fixing two thresholds (a) and (b) in order to precisely define the position of objects along a radial line 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the type of reference (see §...
4.13. Distance measurement with timer The instrument allows measuring distances with timer setting (max. 60s). 1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the key to select the type of reference (see § 4.2) 2. Press the key to enter the Timer mode with a...
5. MEASURING CONDITIONS Measuring range The instrument's measuring range is 70m. 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.
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 > 70m or surface <5cm Carry out measurement Too intense reflection of less...
