PYTHAGORAS MEASUREMENTS

IMPORTANT
It is essential to observe the following

• When measuring the horizontal distance (2nd dimension), the measurement must be taken at a 90° angle to the measuring surface.
• To do this, use the inclination indicator (0°)
• All measurements must be vertically in line without lateral deviation.
• Use a tripod to increase the measuring accuracy.

PYTHAGORAS 2-POINT

Select and press  the inclined distance for the horizontal distance. Display indication line 3 height

PYTHAGORAS 3-POINT

Select and press  for the inclined distance top for the horizontal distance for the inclined distance bottom Display indication line 4 height.

PYTHAGORAS 3-POINT / PARTIAL HEIGHT

Select and press the inclined distance top for the inclined distance bottom for the horizontal distance Display indication line 4: partial height.

INDIRECT MEASUREMENTS VIA INCLINATION WITH HIGH ACCURACY

Where direct measurements to the target are not possible, e.g. on glass facades without measurement reflection or when the measurement object is obscured: Measure partial distances, missing distances are calculated by the device.

Here a general note

All measurements must be vertically in line without lateral deviation. Use a tripod to increase the accuracy of the measurement.
