6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Basic Measurement (Dual Laser)
The unique dual laser design allows for measurements from the center of the device, extending in two directions simultaneously.
Figure 6.1: The dual laser system measures distances in two directions from the device's position.
- Ensure the device is powered on.
- Position the device between the two points you wish to measure.
- Press the MEAS button. The device will emit two laser beams and display the total distance between the two points.
6.2 Measurement Modes
The device offers nine different measurement modes. Press the FUN/RECORD button repeatedly to cycle through the available modes.
Figure 6.2: The display illustrates various measurement functions including Area, Volume, Wall Area, Angle, and Pythagorean measurements, along with data storage.
- Distance Measurement: Standard length measurement.
- Area Measurement: Calculate the area of a surface.
- Volume Measurement: Calculate the volume of a space.
- Angle Measurement: Measure angles using the electronic angle function.
- Wall Area Measurement: Specialized mode for calculating wall areas.
- Indirect Measurement (Pythagorean): For measuring inaccessible heights or distances.
6.3 Unit Switching
Press the U button to cycle through measurement units: Feet (Ft), Inches (In), and Meters (M).
6.4 Data Record
The device can store up to 100 sets of measurement data. To access stored data, press and hold the FUN/RECORD button. Use the arrow buttons to navigate through the records.
6.5 Automatic Rotating Screen & Screen Lock
The display automatically rotates for optimal viewing regardless of the device's orientation.
Figure 6.3: The device's screen automatically rotates. Press and hold the +/- button to lock the screen orientation.
To lock the screen's orientation, press and hold the +/- button.
6.6 Electronic Angle Function
The integrated electronic angle function provides real-time angle measurements, replacing traditional bubble levels for quicker and more intuitive results.
Figure 6.4: The display shows the electronic angle measurement, indicating a 46.7 degree angle.
Activate this mode via the FUN/RECORD button. The display will show the current angle relative to the horizontal plane.
6.7 Muti-Benchmark Measurement Setting
The device allows for setting different measurement benchmarks (e.g., front edge, rear edge, tripod mount) to suit various measurement scenarios. Refer to the on-screen icons to select the appropriate benchmark for your measurement.
7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your device.
Figure 7.1: The device features strong magnetic attraction, a 1/4" copper nut for tripod mounting, and an IP54 dustproof rating.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the laser lenses are clean and free of dust for accurate measurements.
