To ensure safe operation of the equipment, the following safety precautions must be observed:

* use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned ON

* do not let the beam enter your eye, another person’s eye or the eye of an animal

* be careful not to let the beam on a reflective surface strike your eye

* do not allow the laser light beam impinge on any gas which can explode

* do not let the beam of any body

* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.

* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.

* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.

* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).

* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.

* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).

* Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “BAT” appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false reading that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.

* Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long period of time.

* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

* The meter is suitable for indoor use only

* Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.

* Do not modify the equipment in any way

* Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work bench to prevent damaging the controls at the front.

* Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified service personnel

* Do not use the instrument without instruction

* Avoid deliberate or irresponsible behavior on scaffolding, when using ladders, when measuring near machines which are running, or near parts of machines which are unprotected

* Avoid aiming directly into the sun

* Avoid inadequate safeguards at the surveying site

* Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands.

Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available mild household cleaner. Ensure that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the equipment.

The Laser Distance Meter produced a visible laser beam which emerges from the front of the instrument. It is a Laser Class 2 product.

Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it towards other people unnecessarily. Eye’s protection is normally afforded by aversion responses including the blink reflex.

Warning! Looking directly into the beam with optical aids (e.g. binocular, telescopes) can be hazardous. Precautions: Do not look directly into the beam with optical aids.

Caution! Looking into the beam may be hazardous to the eyes. Precautions: Do not look into the laser beam. Make sure the laser is aimed above or below eye level.

Turn on the instrument and laser with the “ON / MEAS” key (1).

If you hold down the “Clear / Off” button (5) for 2 sec., The unit turns off.

The instrument automatically turns off when it is not used for 150 seconds.

The last action is canceled and the displayed data is erased. If you press the Clear / Off “button (5) in the” Memory ” mode, the stored value is erased.

The default setting for the reference level is the lower edge of the instrument. Press the “Reference” button (4) to cycle through the four reference settings (Top, Middle, Lower edge, Angle piece).

Whenever you change the reference setting a beep sounds. After restarting the device, the reference level automatically returns to the default setting (lower edge).

Press “Backlight”-button (10) and the backlight of the display can be switched on or off, user can trigger the function when there is a darkness situation. The value is clear visible on the LCD.

Press the “UNITS”-button (6) longer to change the next type of unit, m, ft, In, ft+In then continue to click the button for the next unit selection.

Press the “ON/MEAS”-button (1) to activate the laser.

Press again to trigger the distance measurement. The measured value is displayed immediately.

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 to the target, whereby the measured value is updated approx. every 0,5 seconds in the third line. The corresponding minimum and maximum values are displayed dynamically in the first and second line. As an example, the user can move from a wall to the required distance, while the actual distance can be read continuously. For continuous measurement, push the “ON/MEAS”-button (1) until the min/max symbol is displayed or the “Clear/Off”-button (5) again to stop the function.

Make your desired distance measurement.

The next length measurement is added to the previous measurement with the “+” button (2) or subtracted from the previous measured value with the “-” key (7) value.

After the addition / subtraction, the system automatically switches back to the normal measurement mode.

Set the meter to Area Calculation via the corresponding key (3).

Measure the first area until the calculation is shown in the main display.

Click the “+” – button (2) and carry out the second area measurement.

Finally, press the “Meas” key (1) and the added measurement of both areas is displayed.

For the subtraction of surfaces, proceed as described above, just by pressing the “-” button (7) instead of the “+” – button (2).

Press the “Area- / Volume” button (3). The area symbol appears on the display.

Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) for the first length measurement (eg length).

Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) again for the second length measurement (eg width).

The result of the area measurement is shown in the third line, the individual measured values are displayed in lines 1 and 2.

Press for volume measurement the “Area- / Volume” button (3) twice until the symbol for volume measurement appears in the display.

Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) for the first distance measurement (eg length) and then, again the “ON / MEAS” key (1) for the second distance measurement (eg width).

The result of the area measurement of already measured values will be displayed in the main display.

Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) again to measure the third distance (eg height). The value is displayed in the third line.

The result of the volume measurement will be shown in the main line, the three previously measured readings are displayed in rows 1, 2 and 3.

This is for measuring heights at which the measurement of two measurements is required. Follow these steps:

Press the “Pythagorean” button (8). The display shows the symbol for this measurement. The distance to be measured (a) flashes in the symbol.

Aim at the upper point and make the measurement.

After the first measurement the value is adopted. Now the second distance to be measured (b) flashes. Keep the instrument as horizontal as possible.

Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) to measure the distance of the horizontal point. The result of the function (x) is displayed in the summary line.

Press the “Pythagorean” button (8) again until the icon for the cathetus (a) flashes.

1. Press the “Pythagoras” button (8) three times until the indicator for “indirect measurement by three readings” switches to the corresponding symbol.

The distance to be measured (a) flashes in the symbol. Aim at the upper point of the measured distance (x) and trigger the measurement of the distance (a). After the first measurement the value is adopted. Measure the distance (b) the lower point of the track (x) and press the “ON/MEAS” key (1). The second value is now displayed. Keep the instrument as horizontal as possible now. Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) to the distance (c) measure. The result of the function (x) is shown in the summary line.

Press the “Pythagoras” button (8) four times, until the display for indirect measurement switches through the three readings to the corresponding symbol. The distance to be measured (a) flashes in the symbol. Aim at the upper point of the measured distance (x) and trigger the measurement of the distance (a). After the first measurement the value is adopted. Measure the distance (b). Keep the instrument as horizontal as possible and then press the “ON/MEAS” key (1). Press the “ON/MEAS” key (1) to measure the distance (c) the lower point of the track (x).

The result of the function (x) is shown in the summary line.

In order to store a displayed measurement value to the internal memory of 99 readings, press the “Memory” button (9) for about 3 seconds until the memory icon appears. Go on as necessary, with all to be saved measurements and continue until the memory is exhausted.

To recall a stored measured value, press and release the “Memory” button (9) briefly. The requested measured value is now displayed in the main line, where the storage number (1 – 99) is shown in the upper left corner of the display. Switch trough the stored values with the “+” and “-” keys.

To delete a stored measured value, press the “Off/Clear” button (5).

If you want to preset a certain measuring distance determined and then for example change the distance between the laser distance meter on a moving platform, hold down the “Area/ Volume” button (3) until the stacking icon appears in the display.

Change the value of the distance (a) with the “-” and “+” – keys and confirm the value with the “ON/MEAS” key (1). Now change the value for the flashing second distance (b) also with the keys “-” and “+”. Confirm again with “ON/MEAS” key (1).

Now the distance measurement starts, which shows the remaining distance to reach the selected distance in the main display. If the meter is placed too far away from the set value, an icon (up arrow) appears that you should move forward. Are you too close, an icon (down arrow) appears and shows you to move backwards.

Once the desired distance achieved following symbol (up and down arrows pointing to a line) appears.

In order to trigger a time-delayed measurement, hold down the button (4) until the timing seconds-selection of the time delay is displayed.

Now use the “-” and “+” – buttons to set the seconds to the time-delayed measurement and confirm by pressing the “ON/MEAS” key (1). Now begins a countdown to zero, in which the measurement is initiated.

Measuring Range

The range is limited to 60 m (P 2801) or 80m (P 2802). At night or dusk and if the target is in shadows the measuring range without target plate is increased. Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has poor reflection properties.

Target Surfaces

Measuring errors can occur when measuring toward colorless liquids (e.g. water) or dust free glass, Styrofoam or similar semi-permeable surfaces. Aiming at high gloss surfaces may deflect the laser beam and lead to measurement error.

Against non-reflective and dark surfaces the measuring time may increase.

Care

Do not immerse the instrument in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solutions. Handle the instrument as you would a telescope or camera.
