Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and if the laser device is passed on, this document must be passed on with it.

Function / Application

Laser distance meter – with green DLD laser technology

•  Functions: distances, area, volume, continuous measurement, angle function 1 + 2 + 3, digital bubble level and tilt sensor calibration
•  360° inclination sensor for determining the horizontal and vertical distance

General safety instructions

•  The device must only be used in accordance with its intended purpose and within the scope of the specifications.

•  The following persons may use the device only when they are either supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or have received instruction from this person on how to use
  the device:

  • Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities
  • Persons with no knowledge and/or experience in the use of the device
  • Children (under the age of 14)

•  The device and its accessories are not toys.

•  Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.

•  Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, moisture or significant vibration.

•  The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail or the battery charge is weak.

•  Please ensure compliance with the safety regulations set out by local and national authorities with regard to the correct and proper use of the device.

Safety instructions
Using class 2 lasers

•  Attention: Do not look into the direct or reflected beam.
•  Do not point the laser beam towards persons.
•  If a person‘s eyes are exposed to class 2 laser radiation, they should shut their eyes and immediately move away from the beam.
•  Tampering with (making changes to) the laser device is not permitted.
•  Under no circumstances should optical instruments
• magnifying glass, microscope, binoculars)

Safety instructions
Dealing with electromagnetic radiation

•  The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limit values in accordance with EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU.
•  Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. Electronic devices can potentially cause hazards or interference or be subject to hazards or interference.
•  The measuring accuracy may be affected when working close to high voltages or high electromagnetic alternating fields.

Green laser technology
Laser modules in DLD design stand for high line quality as well as a clean and clear and therefore easily visible line image. Unlike previous generations they are more temperature-stable and energy efficient. Furthermore, the human eye has a higher sensitivity to the wave range of the green laser than the red laser, for example. This makes the green laser diode appear much brighter than the red one. Green lasers, especially in the DLD design, thus offer advantages with regards to how visible the laser line is under unfavourable conditions. 6 times brighter than a typical 630 – 660 nm laser

Inserting batteries

Open the battery compartment and insert batteries (2 x typ AA) according to the symbols. Be sure to pay attention to polarity.

Angle function 1:

The measurement results are determined automatically by the 360° inclination sensor.The back of the device can be used as a reference surface for measuring angles.

Angle function 2:

The measurement results are determined automatically by the 360° inclination sensor.The back of the device can be used as a reference surface for measuring angles.

Angle function 3:

The measurement results are determined automatically by the 360° inclination sensor.The back of the device can be used as a reference surface for measuring angles.

Digital bubble level:
The digital bubble level is used to horizontally align the measuring device.

Tilt sensor calibration:
To calibrate the tilt sensor follow the instructions on the display.

Memory function:
The device has 50 storage locations.

Important notices

•  The laser points to the location that will be measured. No objects may get into the laser‘s line of measurement.
•  The device compensates the measurement for different room temperatures.
• Therefore allow the device a brief adaptation period when changing locations with large temperature differences.
• The device is only conditionally useable in outdoor areas and cannot be used in strong sunlight.
• The measurement results of outdoor measurements may be influenced or falsified by rain, fog and snow.
•  In unfavourable conditions, e.g. with poorly reflecting surfaces, the maximum deviation may be greater than 3 mm.
•  Carpeting, upholstery or curtains will not reflect the laser optimally. Measure to flat surfaces.
•  Measurements made through glass (window panes) can falsify measurement results.
•  An energy-saving function switches the device off automatically.
•  Clean with a soft cloth. Water may not be allowed to penetrate the housing.

Error codes:

• Replace the battery
• Data transfer error
• Calculation error
• Outside the measuring range
• Received signal too weak
• Tilt sensor calibration error
