Continuous Laser Beam

f Do not point the laser beam at persons or an-

imals and do not look into the laser beam 

yourself, not even from a large distance.

In this setting, the laser beam also remains switched 

on between measurements; for measuring, it is only 

required to press the measuring button 2 once.

Measuring Functions

Simple Length Measurement

For length measurements, press button 12 until the 

“length measurement” indication   appears on the 

display.

To switch the laser on and for meas-

uring, briefly press the measuring 

button 2 once each time.

The measured value is displayed in 

the result line c.

For several subsequent length meas-

urements, the last measured results are displayed in 

the measured-value lines a.

Area Measurement

For area/surface measurements, press button 12 until 

the indicator for area measurement 

 appears on the 

display.

Afterwards, measure the length and the width, one af-

ter another, in the same manner as a length measure-

ment. The laser beam remains switched on between 

both measurements.

Upon completion of the second 

measurement, the surface is auto-

matically calculated and displayed in 

the result line c. The individual meas-

ured values are displayed in the 

measured-value lines a.

Volume Measurement

For volume measurements, press button 12 until the 

indicator for volume measurement 

 appears on the 

display.

Afterwards, measure the length, width and the height, 

one after another, in the same manner as for a length 

measurement. The laser beam remains switched on 

between all three measurements.

Upon completion of the third meas-

urement, the volume is automatically 

calculated and displayed in the result 

line c. The individual measured val-

ues are displayed in the measured-

value lines a.

Values above 999999 m

3

 cannot be indicated; 

“ERROR” appears on the display. Divide the volume 

to be measured into individual measurements; their 

values can then be calculated separately and then 

summarized.

Continuous Measurement (Tracking) / Mini-

mum/Maximum Measurement (see figure B)

For continuous 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, as an example, you can 

move a certain distance away from a wall, while the 

actual distance can always be read.

For continuous measurements, press function mode 

button 4 until the indicator for continuous measure-

ment   appears on the display. To start the continuous 

measurement, press the measuring button 2.

The minimum measurement is used to determine the 

shortest distance from a fixed reference point. It is 

used, as an example, for determining plumb lines or 

horizontal partitions.

The maximum measurement is used to determine the 

greatest distance from a fixed reference point. It is 

used, as an example, for determining diagonals.

The current measuring value is dis-

played in the result line c. The maxi-

mal (“max”) and the minimal 

(“min”) measuring value are dis-

played in the measured-value lines a. 

It is always overwritten, when the 

current length measurement value is 

less than the present minimal or larger than the 

present maximal value.

The previous minimal and maximal values are deleted 

by pressing the button for clearing the internal memo-

ry 8.

Pressing the measuring button 2 ends the continuous 

measurement. The last measured value is displayed in 

the result line c. Pressing the measuring button 2 

again restarts a continuous measuring run.

Continuous measurement automatically switches off 

after 5 min. The last measured value remains indicat-

ed in the result line c.

Indirect Distance Measurement

The indirect distance measurement is used to meas-

ure distances that cannot be measured directly be-

cause an obstacle would obstruct the laser beam or 

no target surface is available as a reflector. This meas-

uring procedure can only be used in vertical direction. 

Any deviation in horizontal direction leads to measur-

ing errors.

The laser beam remains switched on between the in-

dividual measurements.

For indirect length measurements, three measuring 

modes are available. Each measuring mode can be 

used for determining different distances.
