Setup

1. Battery Installation

The TUIREL K100 requires two AAA batteries (not included). To install:

Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device.
Open the battery compartment cover.
Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Powering On/Off

Press the ON/MEAS button (labeled with a power symbol and "CLEAR") once to power on the device. The backlit LCD will illuminate. To power off, press and hold the ON/MEAS button for a few seconds.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Measurement

To perform a single distance measurement:

Power on the device.
Point the laser beam at the target.
Press the MEAS button once. The measurement will be displayed on the main display.

2. Unit Conversion

The device supports measurements in Inches, Feet, Decimal Feet, and Metric Units (meters). To change the unit, press the +/- button (also used for addition/subtraction) repeatedly until the desired unit is displayed.

3. Measurement Reference Setting

The measurement reference point can be adjusted (front or rear edge of the device). Press the Lighting/Measurement Reference Setting button to toggle between reference points. An icon on the LCD will indicate the current reference point.

4. Advanced Measurement Functions

The K100 offers several advanced measurement modes:

Distance Measurement: Standard single measurement.
Continuous Measurement (Min/Max): Press and hold the MEAS button to activate. The device will continuously measure, displaying the current, minimum, and maximum distances.
Area Measurement:
1. Press the Volume button (labeled with a square icon) once to enter area mode.
2. Measure the first side (e.g., length).
3. Measure the second side (e.g., width). The device will automatically calculate and display the area.
Volume Measurement:
1. Press the Volume button twice to enter volume mode.
2. Measure the length.
3. Measure the width.
4. Measure the height. The device will automatically calculate and display the volume.
Pythagorean Method (Two Points / Three Points): Used for indirect height or distance measurements.
1. Press the Volume button three or four times to select the desired Pythagorean mode.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to take the required measurements (e.g., hypotenuse, base). The device will calculate the unknown side.
Addition/Subtraction: After a measurement, press the +/- button to add or subtract subsequent measurements.
