Measuring Procedure (See Figure A)
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the real time
measurement function. Laser is automatically activated and
tool is measuring. You can set other measuring functions by
4
repeatedly pressing button (see "Measuring Functions").
The rear edge of the measuring tool is always the reference
point for the measurement.
Place the measuring tool against the desired starting point of
the measurement (e.g. a wall).
Note:
The measured value typically appears within 0.5
seconds and no later than 4 seconds. The duration of
the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting
conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface.
Upon completion of the measurement the laser beam is
automatically switched off.

Measuring Functions

Real Time Measurement
For real time measurements, the measuring tool can be moved
relative to the target, whereby the measuring value is updated
approx. every 0.5 seconds. In this manner for example, the
distance displayed on the screen will change in real time as
you move further or closer to the measured target.
