Volume Measurement
For volume measurements, push button 4.
The indicator for volume measurement
appears in the display.
switched on between all three measurements.
After taking the third measurement, the volume
is automatically calculated and displayed. The
last individual measured value is indicated at
the bottom in the display, while the final result
is shown at the top.
Values exceeding 99990 ft
displayed; "Err." is indicated in the display. In
this case, switch the unit of measure to meters
(see "Changing the Unit of Measure", page 9).
Area or Volume
Rounding of Large Calculations
For values larger than 9999 feet or meters the
Distance Measurer rounds the calculated
value to the nearest 10 feet or 10 meters.
Accuracy in such situations is always 99.95%
or better.
Continuous Measurement (Tracking)
(see figure D)
The continuous measurement mode (tracking)
is used for the transferring of measurements,
e.g., from construction plans. In continuous
measurement mode, the Distance Measurer
can be moved relative to the target, whereby
the measured value is updated approx. every
0.5 seconds. As an example, the user can
move from a wall to "walk off" the required
distance, while the actual distance can be read
continuously.
For continuous measurement, push button 5
until the indication
indicated at the bottom of the display.
Pushing the measuring button 5 interrupts the
continuous measurement. The current
measured value is indicated in the display.
Repeated pushing of the measuring button 5
starts the continuous measuring again.
Afterwards, measure the
length, width and the
height, one after another,
in the same manner as
for a length measurement.

The continuous measuring automatically
switches off after 5 minutes. The last
measured value remains indicated in the
display. The continuous measuring can also be
ended by pushing buttons 4 or 5, also buttons
12 or 13, which changes the measuring mode.
Deleting Measured Values
Briefly pushing the On/Off Clear button 1
deletes the last individual measuring value
determined in all measuring modes. Pushing
the button repeatedly deletes the individual
measured values in reverse order.
MEMORY MODES
When switching off the Distance Measurer,
the value in the memory is retained.
Storing/Adding Measured Values
Push the memory add button 11 in order to
store the current measured value – a length,
area or volume value, depending on the
If a value is already stored in the memory, the
new value is added to the memory contents,
however, only if it's the same type of
measurement.
As an example, when an area value is in the
memory and the current measured value is a
volume value, the addition cannot take place.
"Err." briefly flashes in the display.
However, values of the same type (e.g. length
values) can be added no matter if they have
been measured in feet and inches, decimal
feet or meters.
