HOW TO USE
Measuring conditions
The quality of the measurement depends on the surfaces to which you are
measuring. Strongly reflecting targets deflect the laser beam and cause mea-
suring errors. Non-reflecting, dark surfaces increase the measuring time.
Always begin by making a control measurement.
Measurement errors
Measuring errors are possible in case of:
•
Colorless
fluids (e.g., water)
• Clean, translucent glass
• Styrofoam or similar semi-translucent surfaces
• Strongly reflecting targets that deflect the laser beam
• Measurements aimed at moving objects
For consistently accurate measurements
• Perform control measurements periodically.
• Perform control measurements before and after important measurements.
Switching on/off
(Key 1) /
(Key 3)
• Switch on the device by pressing Clear/Off
(Key 1). The device shows the
Battery
and Measuring Plane symbols until another key is pressed.

(Key 3) for 2 seconds. If no
key is pressed for 3 minutes, the device switches off automatically.
Clear key
(Key 3)
• Undo the most recent action by pressing On/Measure

briefly.
Adjusting the measuring plane
Rear measuring plane is the
standard setting.

press Measuring Plane/Units
(key 4) briefly.
• For measurement from rear edge,
press Measuring Plane/Units
(key 4) briefly again.
