• Do not misuse the device.
• Do not remove warning signs and protect them from abrasion, because they contain information about safe operation of the device.

The device belongs to laser class 2 in accordance with EN60825-1.

Laser radiation!

Do not stare into beam

Class 2 laser

<1 mW 620-690nm

EN60825-1:2014

• Do not look into the laser beam or its reflection, with unprotected eye or through an optical instrument. Do not point the laser beam at people or animals without the need. You can dazzle them or look aside.
• To protect your eyes close them or look aside.

It is prohibited to disassemble or repair the device yourself. Entrust the device repair to qualified personnel and use original spare parts only.

• Do not use the device in explosive environment, close to flammable materials.
• Avoid heating the batteries to avoid the risk of explosion and electrolyte leakage. In case of liquid contact with skin, wash it immediately with soap and water. In case of liquid contact with eyes, flush with clean water during 10 minutes and consult the doctor.

Insert/replace batteries

Remove the battery cover. Insert the batteries, observing correct polarity. Put the battery cover back.

Replace the batteries as soon as the error 203 appears on the display. Remove the batteries from the device if it's not used for a long time to avoid corrosion and battery discharge. All batteries must be replaced at the same time. Both batteries must be of the same brand, with the same charge level.

To switch off the device press and hold the button COff during 3 seconds.

In order to save the battery power the device will switch off automatically within 180 seconds after the last operation.

Reference point

It is possible to set the reference point either from the top or the bottom end of the device. The default reference point is the bottom end of the device. To select the reference point press and hold the button ± during 2 seconds. Corresponding indicator will appear on the display - or .

Measuring unit

To select required measuring unit (m, in, ft) press and hold the button U during 2 seconds.

MEASUREMENTS

Single distance measurement

Short press the button DIST to switch on the device. Laser beam will be switched on automatically. Aim the laser beam at the object of measurement and short press the button DIST to make a single distance measurement. Measurement result will appear on the display. Short press the button COff to delete the result of measurement and exit the mode.

Continuous measurement (tracking)

Press and hold the button DIST during 3 seconds. The device will take measurements one after another, showing the last measured value in the main line, and the previous measured value in the first line. Short press the button DIST to stop measuring. Short press the button COff to exit the mode.

CALCULATIONS

Addition/subtraction

Make a measurement. Short press the button ± to select either addition or subtraction, and make the 2nd measurement. Calculation result will appear in the main line on the display. The next measurements will also be added/subtracted to/from the next measuring result.

Area

Short press the button F once. Symbol will appear on the display. Laser beam will be on. Short press the button DIST to measure the 1st side (length). Short press the button DIST to measure the 2nd side (width). Area (composition of length and width) will be calculated and appear in the main line on the display.

Short press the button COff to exit the mode.

Volume

Short press the button F twice. Symbol will appear on the display. Laser beam will be on. Short press the button DIST to measure the 1st side (length). Short press the button DIST to measure the 2nd side (width). Short press the button DIST to measure the 3rd side (height). Volume (composition of length, width and height) will be calculated and appear in the main line on the display.

Short press the button COff to exit the mode.

Indirect measurement by Pythagoras' Theorem

Calculation of distance by using 2 additional measurements

Short press the button U 3 times. Symbol will appear on the display. Make measurements of distance A and B. Length of distance C will be calculated and the result will appear in the main line. Distance B must be perpendicular to distance C and cannot be longer than distance A.

Short press the button COff to exit the mode.

Calculation of distance by using 3 additional measurements

Distance D can be measured by making 3 additional measurements. Short press the button U 4 times. Symbol will appear on the display. Laser beam will be on. Make measurements of distances A, B and C one by one.

After the last made measurement calculation result (distance D) will appear in the main line on the display.

Short press the button COff to exit the mode.

MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS

Measurement range

The maximum measurement range is 30 m. At night, at dusk, or if the object of measurement is shaded, the measurement range can be increased without the use of the reflective plate. Use a reflective plate to increase the measurement range during daylight hours, or if the object being measured has a poor reflective surface.

Object surface

When measuring up to colorless liquids (e.g. water), dust-free glass, polystyrene or similar translucent and glossy surfaces, the measurement results may be wrong. When measuring to very dark surfaces, the measurement time may increase.
