POWER SUPPLY
INSERT 3 X AAA NIMH BATTERIES
Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
CHARGE THE BATTERIES
Open the cover of the USB plug (bottom of the instrument) and charge the
battery via the USB connection. For this use a standard USB charger, i. e.
from a smartphone. When the charging process is completed close the USB plug.
Alternatively, the instrument can be operated with standard AAA Alkaline
batteries.

MEASURING REFERENCE
ADDITION / SUBTRACTION
SINGLE MEASUREMENT
Measuring mode: single measurement. Indication:
For taking measurements press
CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT
Keep pressed. Indication:
Sweep slowly the laser back and forth over the selected target point.
Press to stop the continuous measurement.
Display indication: maximum, minimum and the last measured value.
AREA CALCULATION
Press until appears
Press for the 1st distance
Press for the 2nd distance
VOLUME CALCULATION
Press until appears
Press for the 1st distance
Press for the 2nd distance
Press for the 3rd distance
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)
Press until appears
Press for the inclined distance
Press for the horizontal distance
PYTHAGORAS (3-POINT)
Press until appears
Press for the inclined distance top
Press for the horizontal distance
Press for the inclined distance bottom
PYTHAGORAS (3-POINT / PARTIAL HEIGHT)
Press until appears
Press for the inclined distance top
Press for the inclined distance bottom
Press for the horizontal distance
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, the device will calculate the missing distances.
Here a general note:
- All measurements must be vertically in line (without lateral deviation).
- Use a tripod to increase the accuracy of the measurement.
INDIRECT MEASUREMENT 1
Press until appears
Press for the inclined distance – measurement to the top point
INDIRECT MEASUREMENT 2
Press until appears
Press for the inclined distance top (top point)
Press for the inclined distance botton (bottom point)
MEMORY
The instrument automatically saves the last 20 measured values.
Memory recall
TROUBLESHOOTING
| Code | Cause | Corrective action |
|---|---|---|
| 204 | Calculation error | Repeat the measurement |
| 208 | Excessive current | Contact your dealer |
| 220 | Battery weak | Charge the battery |
| 255 | Signal too weak or measuring time too long | Change the target surface |
| 256 | Signal too strong | Change the target surface |
| 261 | Out of measuring range | Select the measuring distance within the range |
| 500 | Hardware error | Power on/off the unit severaltimes. |
If the error code still appears contact your dealer.
SAFETY NOTES
INTENDED USE OF INSTRUMENT
The instrument emits a visible laser beam in order to carry out the following
measuring tasks (depending on the instrument): distance measurements.
SPECIFIC REASONS FOR ERRONEOUS MEASURING RESULTS
Measurements through glass or plastic windows; dirty laser emitting windows;
after the instrument has been dropped or hit. Please check the accuracy.
Large fluctuation of temperature: If the instrument will be used in cold areas
after it has been stored in warm areas (or the other way round) please wait
some minutes before carrying out measurements.
