Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement
The accuracy of the distance measurement can be checked as
follows:
– Select a permanently unchangeable measuring section
with a length of approx. 1 to 10 metres; its length must be
precisely known (e.g. the width of a room or a door open-
ing). The measuring distance must be indoors; the target
surface for the measurement must be smooth and reflect
well.
– Measure the distance 10 times after another.
The deviation of the individual measurements from the mean
value must not exceed ±2 mm (max.). Log the measure-
ments, so that you can compare their accuracy at a later point
of time.
Working with the Tripod (Accessory)
The use of a tripod is particularly necessary for larger distanc-
es. Position the measuring tool with the 1/4" thread 19 onto
the quick-change plate of the tripod 29 or a commercially
available camera tripod. Tighten the measuring tool with the
locking screw of the quick-change plate.
Set the corresponding reference level for measurement with
a tripod by pushing button 10 (the reference level is the
thread).
Working with the Measuring Rail (see figures I–K)
The measuring rail 27 can be used for a more accurate grade
measurement result. Distance measurements are not possi-
ble with the measuring rail.
Place the measuring tool into the measur-
ing rail 27 as shown and lock the measur-
ing tool with locking lever 28. Press the
measuring button 2 to activate the "Meas-
uring rail" operating mode.
Regularly check the accuracy of the grade
measurement by carrying out a reversal measurement or with
the spirit levels of the measuring rail.
In case of greater deviation, the measuring tool must be recal-
ibrated. For this, press and hold the grade measurement but-
ton 3. Follow the directions on the display.
When operating the measuring tool in the measuring rail 27,
data transmission is not possible.
To end the "Measuring rail" operating mode, switch the meas-
uring tool off and remove it from the measuring rail.
