4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The device requires two 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
2. Slide the cover open.
3. Insert two AAA batteries according to the polarity markings (+/-) inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

This image demonstrates the process of opening the battery compartment and inserting the AAA batteries into the PREXISO laser measurement tool.

4.2 Power On/Off

• To power on the device, press the ON button. The backlit display will illuminate.
• The device will automatically shut down after 120 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.

5. Operating Modes

The PREXISO laser measurement tool offers six different measurement modes:

Figure 5.1: Multiple Measurement Modes Overview.

This visual guide illustrates the different measurement functions available on the device, including continuous, volume, area, and arithmetic operations.

5.1 Single Distance Measurement

This is the default mode for measuring a single distance.

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Point the laser beam at the target.
3. Press the ON button once. The measurement will be displayed instantly.

This image depicts the laser measurement tool actively measuring a distance within a room, demonstrating its practical application.

5.2 Continuous Measurement (Tracking)

This mode allows for continuous measurement as you move the device, displaying real-time distance updates.

1. From single distance mode, press the FUNC button repeatedly until the continuous measurement icon appears on the display.
2. Move the device slowly towards or away from the target. The display will update continuously.
3. Press the ON button to stop continuous measurement and hold the last value.

5.3 Area Measurement

To calculate the area of a rectangular space.

1. Press the FUNC button until the area measurement icon appears.
2. Measure the first side (e.g., length) by pressing ON.
3. Measure the second side (e.g., width) by pressing ON again.
4. The calculated area will be displayed.

Figure 5.3: Area Measurement Application.

This image illustrates how the laser measurement tool can be used to define and calculate the area of a room or surface.

5.4 Volume Measurement

To calculate the volume of a space.

1. Press the FUNC button until the volume measurement icon appears.
2. Measure the length by pressing ON.
3. Measure the width by pressing ON.
4. Measure the height by pressing ON.
5. The calculated volume will be displayed.

5.5 Pythagorean Measurement (Indirect Measurement)

This mode uses the Pythagorean theorem to calculate distances indirectly, such as height or length, when direct measurement is not possible.

5.5.1 Two-Point Pythagorean Method

Used to calculate the height of an object when you can measure the hypotenuse and one leg.

1. Press the FUNC button until the two-point Pythagorean icon appears.
2. Measure the hypotenuse (e.g., from the base of the device to the top of the object) by pressing ON.
3. Measure the horizontal distance (e.g., from the device to the base of the object) by pressing ON.
4. The calculated height will be displayed.

5.5.2 Three-Point Pythagorean Method

Used for more complex indirect height measurements.

1. Press the FUNC button until the three-point Pythagorean icon appears.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to measure the three required distances.
3. The calculated height will be displayed.

6. Unit and Reference Settings

6.1 Changing Measurement Units

The device supports Ft (feet), Ft+In (feet and inches), In (inches), and M (meters).

1. Hold the FUNC button for 3 seconds to enter Unit Setting Mode.
2. Press the FUNC button repeatedly to cycle through the available units.
3. Press the ON button to confirm your selection and exit Unit Setting Mode.

Figure 6.1: Unit and Reference Adjustment.

This detailed diagram illustrates the steps for changing measurement units and adjusting the measurement reference point (front or rear of the device).

6.2 Changing Measurement Reference

The device can measure from its front (laser beam outlet) or its rear (base of the device). The default is usually from the rear.

1. Press the FUNC button for 3 seconds to enter Measurement Reference Mode.
2. Press the FUNC button again to toggle between front and rear reference points. An icon on the display will indicate the current reference.
3. Press the ON button to confirm your selection and exit Measurement Reference Mode.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

To maintain accuracy and prolong the life of your device:

• Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Clean the laser lens carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth, similar to cleaning camera lenses.

7.2 Storage

• Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
