Maximum Measurement (see figure G)
The maximum measurement is used to deter-
mine the greatest distance from a fixed refer-
ence point. It is used, as an example, for deter-
mining diagonals.
For maximum measurements, press button 4
until "MAX" appears in the display.
To start the measurement, briefly press the
measuring button 10.
Move the laser back and forth over the request-
ed target (e.g., the room corner for determining
the diagonal) in such a manner that the refer-
ence point of the measurement (e.g., the tip of
the positioning pin 15) always remains at the
same location.
During the measurement,
the current length meas-
urement value is indicated
at the bottom of the dis-
play. The minimum value is
indicated at the top right in
the display. It is always overwritten, when the
current length measurement value is larger than
the present maximal value.
To end the maximum measurement, briefly press
the measuring button 10. Pressing the measuring
button again starts a new measurement.
Indirect Length Measurement (see figure H)
The indirect length measurement is used to
measure distances that cannot be measured
directly because an obstacle would obstruct the
laser beam or no target surface is available as a
reflector. Correct results are achieved only when
the laser beam and the sought distance form an
exact right angle (Pythagorean Theorem).
In the illustrated example, the length B is to be
determined. For this purpose, A and C must be
measured. A and B must form a right angle.
For indirect length measurements, press button
11 until the indicator for indirect length measure-
ment
appears in the display.
Measure the distance A as for a length measure-
ment. Pay attention that the line segement A
and the sought distance B form a right angle.
Afterwards, measure the distance C. The laser
beam remains switched on between both meas-
urements.
Bosch Power Tools
Pay attention that the reference point of the
measurement (e.g., the rear edge of the measur-
ing tool) is at the exact same location for both
measurements.
After completing the sec-
ond measurement, the dis-
tance B is calculated auto-
matically. The last individual
measured value is indicated
at the bottom in the display,
while the final result B is in-
dicated at the top.
Wall Surface Measurement (see figure I)
The wall surface measurement is used to deter-
mine the sum of several individual surfaces with
a common length.
In the example shown, the total surface of sev-
eral walls that have the same room height A, but
different lengths B, are to be determined.
For wall surface measurements, press button 11
until the indicator for wall surface measurement
appears in the display.
Measure the room height A as for a length meas-
urement. The measured value is indicated both
at the top and bottom in the display. The laser
remains switched on.
Afterwards, measure length
B
of the first wall. The sur-
1
face is automatically calcu-
lated and indicated. The
last length measurement
value is indicated at the
bottom in the display, while the surface is indicat-
ed at the top. The laser remains switched on.
Now, measure length B
the second wall. The indi-
vidual measuring value in-
dicated at the bottom of
the display is added to
length B
both lengths is multiplied with the stored length
A. The total surface value is indicated at the top
in the display.
In this manner, you can measure any number of
further lengths B
, which are added and multi-
X
plied with length A.
