MEASURING VOLUMES
The LDM60 can calculate the volume of a square or rectangular
room or space by measuring its height, depth and width and
multiplying the three values.
To measure a volume:
1. Make sure the meter is using its rear edge as the
measurement reference and that the laser is on.
2. Press the button twice. A icon will appear on the left
side of the display with its right front vertical leg flashing.
3. Holding the rear of the meter against the floor of the room or
space, aim the laser pointer at the ceiling and press the
button. The distance measured will appear on the top line of
the display, the right front vertical leg of the cube will stop
flashing, and the top right “depth” leg of the cube will begin
flashing.
4. Move the meter to one wall of the room or space and hold its
rear against that wall. Aim the laser pointer at the opposite
wall and press the
button. The distance measured will
appear on the second line of the display, the top right “depth”
leg of the cube will stop flashing, and the top front horizontal
leg of the cube will begin flashing.
