Press the [ON button] to turn on. The device is turned OFF after 3 seconds. If no key is pressed for 120 seconds, the device switches off automatically. If the info icon ℹ️ appears with a number, observe the instructions in section "Message Codes". Example: Err16.
Unit setting
Switch between the following units:
- 0'00" 1/16
- 0 1/16 in
- 0.00 ft
- 0.000 m
Measurement reference
- The system default measurements start at the bottom as a reference point.
- Press the [ON/Measure button] to change the reference to the tripod point for measurement.
- Press the [ON/Measure button] to change the reference to the top for measurement.
Functions
Measuring single distance
- Aim active laser at target.
- Press the [ON button].
- Result displayed (e.g., 261'99" 7/16).
Target surfaces: Measuring errors can occur when measuring to colourless liquids, glass, styrofoam or semi-permeable surfaces, or when aiming at high gloss surfaces. Against dark surfaces, the measuring time increases.
Continuous measuring
- Press and hold the [ON button] for 3 seconds.
- Aim active laser at target. The largest and smallest measured values appear above the current measurement (e.g., max 261'99" 7/16, min 135'99" 7/16).

*The typical measurement uncertainty of ± 3 mm is valid for measurements on white, diffusive, reflective targets up to 5 m at low ambient light and moderate temperatures. For distances greater than 5 m, the measurement uncertainty could increase additionally by 0.1 mm/m. In unfavourable conditions (such as bright sunlight, targets with poor reflectivity, or high or low temperatures), the measurement uncertainty could further increase up to ± 8 mm for distances below 5 m and additionally by roughly 0.15 mm/m for distances greater than 5 m.
Message Codes
If the message "Error" does not disappear after switching on the device repeatedly, contact the dealer. If the message "Info" appears with a number, press the Clear button and observe the following instructions:
No. | Cause | Correction |
---|---|---|
Err10 | Low battery | Recharge the battery |
Err15 | Out of measuring range | Correct range |
Err16 | Received signal too weak or measuring time too long | Change target surface (e.g. white paper) and remeasure |
Err18 | Too much background light | Shadow target area |
Err26 | The results out of maximal digit on screen | Get the results by changing units or calculate manually |
