Measuring Process
When switching on for the first time, the measuring tool will be in the length measurement function. When switching on every subsequent time, the measuring tool will be in the measuring function that was last used.
The rear edge of the measuring tool is always the reference level for the measurement.
- Apply the measuring tool to the point at which you want to start the measurement (e.g. wall).
- Press the
button to switch on the laser beam. - Target the target surface with the laser beam.
- Briefly press the button again to start the measurement.
The duration of the measurement depends on the distance, the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. Upon completion of the measurement, the laser beam will automatically switch off.
- The measuring tool must not be moved during a measurement. Therefore, place the measuring tool, as far as this is possible, against or on a firm stop or supporting surface.
- The reception lens (10) and the laser beam output (11) must not be covered during the measuring process.
Influences on the Measuring Range
The measuring range depends on the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface.
For better visibility of the laser beam in bright extraneous light, use the laser viewing glasses (13) (accessory) and the laser target plate (12) (accessory), or shade the target surface.
Influences on the Measurement Result
Due to physical effects, incorrect measurements are possible when measuring on various surfaces. These include:
- Transparent surfaces (e.g. glass, water)
- Reflective surfaces (e.g. polished metal, glass)
- Porous surfaces (e.g. insulation materials)
- Structured surfaces (e.g. roughcast, natural stone)
If necessary, use the laser target plate (12) (accessory) on these surfaces.
Incorrect measurements are also possible on slanted target surfaces.
Likewise, layers of air with different temperatures or indirectly received reflections can influence the measured value.
