Distance Measurement; Scan Mode - Leica PINMASTER Manual Del Usaurio

DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

To measure the distance to an object, it must be
perfectly targeted. To do this, activate the target
mark by pressing the main button (2) once. The tar-
get mark remains lit for about 4 seconds after letting
the main button go. If the button is kept pressed, the
target mark remains lit.
While the target mark is lit, aim the LEICA PINMAS -
TER at the object and press the main button a sec -
ond time; the distance is then measured and displayed.
The target mark disappears briefly during the
measurement. A new measurement can be made at
any time, as long as the target mark is lit, by pres-
sing the main button once again. If the object is less
98
provide enough reflection, then _ _ _ appears on
than 10 m/11yds away, out of range, or does not
the display.
The LEICA PINMASTER switches itself off as soon as
the display disappears.

SCAN MODE

With the LEICA PINMASTER, continuous measure-
ments can also be made: If the main button (2) is
held down the second time it is pressed, the unit
switches to scan mode after approx. 0.5 seconds
and then takes continuous measurements. This is
indicated by the changing display: a new measured
value is produced around every 0.5 seconds.
Scan mode is particularly practical when measuring
to flagsticks or other smaller targets.
Note:
In scan mode, due to the constant measurements,
the power consumption is greater than for single
measurements.
