In this setting, the laser beam also remains switched
on between measurements; for measuring, it is only
required to push the measuring button 9 once.
To switch off the continuous laser beam, push button
12 again or switch the measuring tool off. When
switching on again, the measuring tool is in the stand-
ard operation mode and the laser beam appears only
after pushing the measuring button 9.

Measuring Functions

Length Measurement
For length measurements, push button 4 until the indi-
cator for length measurement
play.
Push the measuring button 9
once for sighting and once
more to take the measurement.
The measured value is indi-
cated at the bottom in the dis-
play.
Area Measurement
For area measurements, push button 5 until the indi-
cator for area measurement
Afterwards, measure the length
and the width, one after another,
in the same manner as a length
measurement. The laser beam
remains switched on between
both measurements.
After taking the second measurement, the area/sur-
face is automatically calculated and displayed. The last
individual measured value is indicated at the bottom in
the display, while the final result is shown at the top.
Volume Measurement
For volume measurements, push button 5 until the
indicator for volume measurement
display.
Afterwards, measure the length,
width and the height, one after
another, in the same manner as
for a length measurement. The
laser beam remains switched
on between all three measure-
ments.
After taking the third measurement, the volume is
automatically calculated and displayed. The last indi-
vidual measured value is indicated at the bottom in the
display, while the final result is shown at the top.
Continuous Measurement (Tracking)
(see figure E)
The continuous measurement function (tracking) is
used for the transferring of measurements, e.g., from
construction plans. In continuous measurement mode,

the measuring tool can be moved relative to the target,
whereby the measured value is updated approx. every
0.5 seconds. As an example, the user can move from
a wall to the required distance, while the actual dis-
tance can be read continuously.
For continuous measurement, push button 4 until the
indicator for continuous measurement
the display.
appears in the dis-
Pushing the measuring button 9 interrupts the contin-
uous measurement. The current measured value is
indicated in the display. Repeated pushing of the
measuring button 9 starts the continuous measuring
again.
The continuous measuring automatically switches off
after 5 minutes. The last measured value remains indi-
cated in the display. The continuous measuring can
also be ended by pushing button 4 or 5, which
changes the measuring function.
appears in the display.
Indirect Length Measurement (see figure F)
The indirect length measurement is used to measure
distances that cannot be measured directly because
an obstacle would obstruct the laser beam or no tar-
get surface is available as a reflector. Correct results
are achieved only when the laser beam and the sought
distance form an exact right angle (Pythagorean The-
orem).
In the illustrated example, the length C is to be deter-
mined. For this purpose, A and B must be measured.
A and C must form a right angle.
For indirect length measurements, push button 5 until
the indicator for indirect length measurement
appears in the display.
appears in the
Pay attention that the reference point of the measure-
ment (e.g., the rear edge of the measuring tool) is at
the exact same location for both measurements.
After completing the second measurement, the dis-
tance C is calculated automatically. The last individual
measured value is indicated at the bottom in the dis-
play, while the final result C is indicated at the top.
appears in
Press the measuring button 9
to initiate the measuring proce-
dure. Move the measuring tool
until the required distance
value is indicated at the bottom
of the display.
Measure the distance A as for a
length measurement. Pay at-
tention that the line segment A
and the sought distance C form
a right angle. Afterwards, meas-
ure the distance B. The laser
beam remains switched on be-
tween both measurements.
