Measuring Volumes - Hilti PD-I Mode D'emploi

3. Press the "Measure" button.
The room width is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display automatically prompts you to
measure the length of the room.
4. Aim the tool at the next target to obtain the length
of the room.
5. Press the "Measure" button.

The second distance is then measured, the area
calculated immediately and the result is displayed
in the result line.
7.3.2 Measuring triangular areas
Each step of the area measurement operation is indic-
ated graphically in the display. To measure a triangular
area you are required to measure three distances. For
example, to determine the floor area of a room, proceed
as follows:
1. Select the Triangular Area function from the Areas
and Volumes application group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The first distance is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the target.
5. Press the "Measure" button.
The second distance is measured and displayed
in the intermediate result line. The graphic display
then automatically prompts you to measure the third
distance.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the "Measure" button.
The third distance is measured, the area is then
calculated immediately and the result displayed in
the result line.

7.3.3 Measuring volumes

Each step of the volume measurement operation is indic-
ated graphically in the display. For example, to determine
the volume of a room, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Cube Volume function from the Areas and
Volumes application group.
2. Aim the range meter at the target.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The first distance is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the target.

5. Press the "Measure" button.
The second distance is measured and displayed in
the intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the third distance.
6. Aim the range meter at the target.
7. Press the "Measure" button.
The third distance is measured, the volume then
calculated immediately and the result displayed in
the result line.
7.3.4 Measuring cylinder volume
Each step of the volume measurement operation is indic-
ated graphically in the display. To measure the volume
of a cylinder you are required to measure two distances.
For example, to determine the volume of a silo, proceed
as follows:
1. Select the Cylinder Volume function from the Areas
and Volumes application group.
2. Aim the range meter at the corresponding target to
measure the height of the cylinder.
3. Press the "Measure" button.
The first distance is measured and displayed in the
intermediate result line.
The graphic display then automatically prompts you
to measure the second distance.
4. Aim the range meter at the next target to measure
the diameter of the cylinder.
5. Press the "Measure" button.
The second distance is measured, the volume then
calculated immediately and the result displayed in
the result line.
7.4 Trapezoid functions
NOTE
A reduced level of accuracy, much lower than the level
of accuracy of the tool itself, must generally be expected
when the indirect measuring method is used. In order to
obtain the best results, care must be taken regarding the
geometry of the situation (i.e. right angles and triangle
relationships). Best results are obtained when the tool
is aimed carefully at the corners of the object, when all
points are within the same plane and when the measure-
ments are taken from a location not too far away from
the object.
NOTE
When taking indirect measurements, make sure that all
measurements are taken in a horizontal or vertical plane.
