5. Setup

5.1 Charging the Device

The Kiprim DR120 comes with a built-in 850mAh Li-ion battery. Before first use, or when the battery indicator is low, charge the device using the provided Type-C cable.

• Connect the Type-C cable to the charging port (11) on the side of the device.
• Connect the other end of the cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included).
• A full charge takes approximately 1.5 hours. The device can perform about 8000 measurements or run continuously for 4 hours on a full charge.

5.2 Power On/Off

• To Power On: Press the MEAS button (14). The display will light up.
• To Power Off: Press and hold the OFF CLEAR button (9) for a few seconds. The device will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to save battery.

5.3 Setting the Reference Point

The device can measure from different reference points (front, middle, or rear of the device). Press the Reference Point button (15) to cycle through the available options. The current reference point is indicated on the display (3).

5.4 Unit Switching

Press the U/▶ button (17) to switch between different measurement units. The available units typically include meters (m), feet (ft), inches (in), and feet+inches (ft'in").

6. Operating Instructions

The Kiprim DR120 supports various measurement modes:

Overview of 7 measurement types

6.1 Basic Distance Measurement (Single Measurement)

• Point the laser at the target.
• Press the MEAS button (14) once. The measured distance will be displayed.

6.2 Continuous Measurement

• Press and hold the MEAS button (14) to activate continuous measurement.
• Move the device, and the display will update in real-time, showing the current distance.
• Press MEAS again to stop continuous measurement.

6.3 Area and Volume Calculation

• Press the FUN RECORD button (16) to cycle through measurement modes until the Area or Volume icon (5) appears.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to measure the required dimensions (length, width, height). The device will automatically calculate and display the area or volume.

6.4 Pythagorean Measurement

The device supports three types of Pythagorean calculations (6) for indirect measurements:

• Press the FUN RECORD button (16) to select the desired Pythagorean mode.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to measure the necessary sides of the triangle. The device will calculate the unknown side.

6.5 Electronic Angle Measurement

The DR120 can measure angles electronically, replacing traditional bubble levels for more intuitive and faster measurements.

• The angle value (8) is displayed on the screen, updating in real-time as the device's orientation changes.

6.6 Vertical Laser Marking Line

For precise positioning, the device can project a vertical laser marking line. The effective range for this feature is typically up to 3 meters.

• Press the Laser Marking Line On/Off Button (12) to activate or deactivate the vertical laser line.

6.7 Using the Reflector

The included reflector helps enhance laser visibility and provides an auxiliary target for measurements when there is no suitable reference object or the target surface is not reflective enough.

• Place the reflector at the desired target point.
• Aim the laser at the reflector to take measurements.

6.8 Data Storage and Recall

The device can store up to 50 sets of measurement data.

• Measurements are automatically saved.
• Press the FUN RECORD button (16) to enter the record viewing mode.
• Use the arrow buttons to navigate through stored data.

6.9 Addition and Subtraction

Use the +/- button (10) to add or subtract measurements. This is useful for calculating total lengths or differences.

6.10 Mute Function

Press the U/▶ button (17) to toggle the sound on or off. This is useful in environments where audible feedback is not desired.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in its carry bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if the device is not used frequently, to maintain battery health.
• Laser Lens: Keep the laser emission and reception lenses clean to ensure accurate measurements. Use a soft cloth, similar to cleaning camera lenses.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not powering on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a Type-C charger for at least 15 minutes.
• Inaccurate measurements:
  • Check if the laser lenses are clean.
  • Ensure the reference point is correctly set (front, middle, or rear).
  • Verify that the target surface is suitable for laser reflection (use the reflector if needed).
  • Avoid measuring through transparent surfaces like glass.
• Laser not visible: In bright light conditions, the laser might be less visible. Use the reflector or measure in shaded areas.
• Display errors: Try powering the device off and on again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

9. User Tips

• For maximum accuracy, especially over longer distances, place the device on a stable surface or use a tripod with the tripod screw hole (13).
• When measuring outdoors or in bright conditions, the included reflector can significantly improve laser visibility and measurement reliability.
• Always ensure the laser beam is not obstructed during measurement to prevent errors.
• Utilize the data storage function (50 sets) to keep track of multiple measurements for later review or calculation.

10. Safety Information
