Battery information

The battery life is a maximum of 20 hours. The battery status is continuously shown on the display.

Battery status display Meaning
The battery is fully charged.
The battery is partially discharged.
The battery almost discharged. The battery should be replaced promptly.
The battery is discharged. The battery must be replaced for further use.

Making a measurement

To make a measurement, first, connect the earthing cable to the meter and to an earthed conductor. Then switch on the meter. The measurement will start after a short time.  Point the measuring device at the object to be measured. You have reached the correct distance as soon as the lasers cross. Now you can read the measured value.

Zeroing

To zero the meter, first ground it with the earthing cable. Then switch on the meter and wait until the reading has stabilized. Then press the zero key to set the displayed reading to zero.
NOTE:
Make sure that there is no static charge on the sensor side. This can influence zeroing.
