4 Information aout the device Device description The laser distance measuring device is used to determine distances, areas and volumes in interior spaces. Indirect measurements are carried out employing the Pythagoras function. The device is equipped with separate operating elements () for the different measuring functions. The multi-line and optionally also illuminated display () indicates the determined values. Owing to the dust- and splash-proof housing (IP54), the device is also suited for use on construction sites. Measuring distance The range of the device can e gathered from the Technical data chapter. Under certain conditions e.g. at night, in twilight or when the target is hidden in the shade greater distances are possile even without target plate. During the day use a target plate to increase the distance for poorly reflecting targets. Target surfaces There might e measurement errors when the laser encounters colourless liquids (e.g. water), dust-free glass, styrofoam or other semi-permeale materials. The measurement result may also e falsified if the laser encounters a high-gloss surface and is deflected y it. Non-glossy, non-reflective or dark surfaces can extend the measurement duration.

Press the Save utton () to call up the history.. Briefly press the Minus utton (8) or the Plus utton (7) to navigate through the history and call up the saved measured values.. You can return to the normal measuring menu y riefly pressing the Delete utton () or the Measurement utton (7). Setting the timer The device is provided with an internal timer, which can e used to set a delay after which the measurement egins. The timer can e used for all measuring operations. Press the Timer utton (0) for a long time to activate a delay of 5 seconds. Press and hold the Timer utton (0) until the desired time is displayed (0 seconds max.). Let go of the Timer utton (0) to start the timer. A countdown of the remaining seconds appears in the display. The last five seconds are each accompanied y an acoustic signal. After the expiration of this time the measurement is performed. EN Operating manual laser distance measuring device BD / BD6 6

8 Carrying out measurements Class laser radiation. Lasers of class only radiate in the visile range and during continuous wave operation (lasting eam) no more than milliwatt (mw) of output will e emitted. Looking directly into the laser eam for a longer period of time (more than 0.5 seconds) can cause damage to the retina. Avoid looking directly into the laser eam. Never look into the laser eam using optical aides. Do not suppress the winking reflex when looking into the laser eam unintentionally. Never point the laser eam at people or animals. Carrying out single distance measurement. Briefly press the Switch-on/measurement utton (7) to activate the laser.. Point the laser at the target area.. Briefly press the Switch-on/measurement utton (7) again to perform a distance measurement. ð The measured value is immediately indicated on the display. Adding / sutracting measured values. Carry out a single distance measurement.. Press the Plus utton (7) to add the next measured value to the previous one. Press the Minus utton (8) to sutract the next measured value from the previous one.. Press the Switch-on/measurement utton (7) to determine the next measured value. ð The overall result will e indicated in the lower measurement value display. The individual measured values will e indicated in the upper measurement value displays. Performing an area measurement. Briefly press the Area/room volume utton (6) one time. ð The symol for area measurement appears on the display.. Briefly press the Switch-on/measurement utton (7) to carry out the first measurement (e.g. length).. Briefly press the Switch-on/measurement utton (7) again to carry out the second measurement (e.g. width). ð Upon pressing the Switch-on/measurement utton (7) for the second time the device independently calculates the area and displays this value in the lower measurement value display. The most recently measured value will e indicated in one of the upper measurement value displays. Performing a volume measurement. Briefly press the Area/room volume utton (6) twice. ð The symol for volume measurement appears on the display. ð The side to e measured in each case is indicated on the display y flashing..
