A simple way to use the laser rangefinder to measure distance
1. Measurement mode
Distance can be measured using two different measurement modes, single measurement and continuous measurement. Continuous measurements are used to determine a given distance or length, and can also be used in hard-to-reach locations (e.g. in corners, edges or niches, etc.).
1. Single measurement
If the rangefinder is off, the rangefinder can be turned on by pressing the On/Off button or the Measure button. If the rangefinder is turned on by pressing the "Measure" button, the laser is also enabled, so the steps below can be omitted
1.1. Turn on the laser by pressing the "Measure" button.
1.2. Aim the rangefinder at the target and press the "Measure" button.
The measured distance will be displayed in the result line within 1 second.
2. Continuous measurement (tracking)
During continuous measurements, distances are updated in the result row at a rate of approximately 6-10 measurements per second. The measurement rate depends on the reflectivity of the target surface. If beeping is enabled, continuous measurements are signaled by beeping approximately 2-3 times per second.
2.1. Press and hold the "Measure" button for about 2 seconds to start the continuous measurement mode.
2.2. The measurement can be stopped by pressing the "Measure" button again.
2.3. The last valid measurement will then be shown in the result line of the display.
2. Measuring range
1. Increased measuring range: When measuring in dark environments (dawn or evening) and when the target and/or the rangefinder are in the shadow of bright light, the rangefinder's measuring range generally increases. Using a target board also increases the rangefinder's range.
2. The measurement range is reduced: The measurement range may be reduced in bright conditions, such as when working in bright sunlight or under extremely strong lighting. The rangefinder's measuring range may be reduced when measuring through glass or when objects are in the path of the laser beam.
The rangefinder's measuring range may be reduced when measuring on green, blue or black matte surfaces or on wet or shiny surfaces.
