Measuring Process
Once switched on, the measuring tool is in the length measurement function.
The rear edge (3) of the measuring tool is always the reference level for the measurement.
- Apply the rear edge (3) of the measuring tool to the point at which you want to start the measurement (e.g. wall).
- Press the
button to complete and save the measurement.
Once the measurement process is complete, the laser beam will switch off. For a further measurement, repeat this process.
- A continuous measurement is performed after the measuring tool has been switched on. The current measured value (c) is shown on the top line of the display. During continuous measurement, the measuring tool can be moved relative to the target, during which the current measured value will be updated approx. every half a second.
- The reception lens (9) and the laser beam output (8) must not be covered during the measuring process.
Influences on the Measuring Range
The measuring range depends on the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface.
Influences on the Measurement Result
Due to physical effects, incorrect measurements are possible when measuring on various surfaces. These include:
- Transparent surfaces (e.g. glass, water)
- Reflective surfaces (e.g. polished metal, glass)
- Porous surfaces (e.g. insulation materials)
- Structured surfaces (e.g. roughcast, natural stone)
Incorrect measurements are possible on slanted target surfaces.
Likewise, layers of air with different temperatures or indirectly received reflections can influence the measured value.
