Measure with offset (add/subtract
tolerance)
An offset automatically adds or subtracts a value to/
from all measurements. With this feature toler-ances
can be taken into consideration e.g. between unfi-
nished and finished dimensions.
Select the menu function OFFSET {B, 21} (OFFSET
blinks in the display), confirm with the EQUAL - key
{A, 5}. Adjust the OFFSET with the PLUS - key {A, 3}
or the MINUS - key {A, 11}.
By holding the keys down, the setting values will
increase/decrease faster. Once you have entered the
proper offset confirm your selection with the EQUAL
- key {A, 5}. As long as an OFFSET {B, 21} is added/
subtracted the symbol is visible on the display.
Measuring with tripod
Using a tripod eliminates shaking when measuring
over long distances. On the back of the instrument is
an industry standard ¼"-threaded hole for use with a
camera tripod mounting screw. For correct measure-
ments the reference needs to be adapted. Select the
menu function TRIPOD {B, 22}. Confirm with the
EQUAL - key {A, 5}. The corresponding symbol {B, 5}
is displayed permanently.
Continuous laser
Select the Menu function Continuous laser and
confirm with the EQUAL - key {A, 5}. The laser is now
on permanently and whenever the DIST - key {A, 1}
is pressed, a measurement is taken.
The laser is automatically switched off after 60
minutes.
Reset
When you select the menu function RESET and press
the EQUAL-key {A, 5} twice the device will default to
factory settings.
CAUTION: Any customized presettings as well as
stored values will be deleted.
Operation
Switching On/Off
ON: Press ON - key {A, 1} briefly. Battery indica-
tion is displayed until the next keystroke.
OFF: Press and hold OFF - key {A, 9}. To maximize
battery life the laser beam will switch off after
3 minutes of inactivity, the device will auto-
matically switch off after 6 minutes of inacti-
vity.
CLEAR key
Pressing the CLEAR - key {A, 9} cancels the last
action.
While making area/volume or indirect measurements,
each single measurement can be deleted and remea-
sured.
