Message Codes

If the info icon appears with a number, observe the instructions in section "Message Codes".

Example:

Adjusting measuring reference

Distance unit setting

Measuring Functions

Measuring single distance

information Target surfaces: Measuring errors can occur when measuring to colourless liquids, glass, styrofoam or semi-permeable surfaces or when aiming at high gloss surfaces. Against dark surfaces the measuring time increases.

Permament measuring

Add / Subtract

information The result is shown in the main line and the measured value above. This process can be repeated as required. The same process can be used for adding or subtracting areas or volumes.

Area

information The result is shown in the main line and the measured value above.

Volume

Pythagoras (2-point)

information The result is shown in the main line and the measured distance above. Pressing the measuring key for 2 sec in the function activates automatically Minimum or Maximum measurement.

Pythagoras (3-point)

Memory (5 last results)
