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 unfavorable conditions.
• Approx. 6 times brighter than a typical red laser with 630 – 660 nm

Data transfer

• The laser distance meter features a Bluetooth® function that enables wireless data transfer to mobile devices with a Bluetooth® interface (e.g. smartphone, tablet).

• The system prerequisites for a Bluetooth®* connection are specified at http://laserliner.com/info?an=ble

• The device can set up a Bluetooth®* connection with Bluetooth 4.0 compatible devices.

• The range is set to a maximum distance of 10 m from the terminal device and greatly depends on the ambient conditions such as the thickness and composition of walls, sources of interference as well as the transmit / receive properties of the terminal device.

• The Bluetooth® word mark and the logo are registered trademarks of Bluetooth SIG Inc.

Enable/disable Bluetooth®

When enabled the Bluetooth®* symbol appears on the display (h). When the function is active, a mobile device can connect by means of an app to the measuring device.

Application (app)

An app is required to use the Bluetooth® function. You can download the app from the corresponding stores for the specific type of terminal device : Make sure that the Bluetooth® interface of the mobile device is activated.
After starting the app and activating the Bluetooth®* function, a connection can be set up between a mobile device and the laser distance meter. If the app detects several active measuring devices, select the matching device. This measuring device can be connected automatically the next time it is switched on.

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

• Er101: Replace the battery
• Er108: Pythagorean measurement error
• Er118: Tilt sensor calibration error
• Er155: Received signal too weak or outside the measuring range
• Er181: Data transfer error
• Er194: Nil

Information on maintenance and care

Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents, scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place.

Calibration
The meter needs to be calibrated and tested on a regular basis to ensure it produces accurate measurement results. We recommend carrying out calibration once a year.
