INTRODUCTION
The Ultra Scale Master Pro
has been specifically
designed for residential
and light commercial
builders and contractors
requiring area and
volume take-offs. Use
it for estimating project
materials and costs, for
measuring, storing and
calculating perimeters,
areas, and volumes from
architectural plans and
other types of scaled
drawings. Use the
Ultra Scale Master Pro to
calculate the area and
volume of irregular shapes;
it can also be used as a
digitizer. A PC interface
is included to enable data
and measurements to be
sent to PC applications.
The Ultra Scale Master Pro
may be used with or
without a PC.

FINAL ASSEMBLY
The ultrasonic beams are sent from the left arm of
the Puck to the top bar, then reflected back, and
from the right arm of the Puck to the side bar, then
reflected back as shown above.
The Puck can be moved to any point within the bars
as long as the left arm remains parallel to the top bar
and the right arm remains parallel to the side bar as
shown above.

GETTING STARTED
Once assembly and setup are complete, proceed with the following steps in
order to begin measuring.
1. When placing the bars and securing the drawing, make sure that the
bars are at least 1" from the outermost measurements.
2. It is essential that the bars remain fixed relative to the drawing’s
position. Scribe a line to mark the initial location of the bars as a
reference point should the bars shift.
3. The Puck should maintain a 45° angle within the bars while measuring.
4. Ensure that the measuring surface is flat and smooth. Make sure there
are no folds, tears, or raised areas of the plans.
5. Make sure there are no objects between the Puck and the bars. This
includes hands, arms, pencils or pens, USB cable, cups, scale rulers, etc.
6. Make sure that no air current is blowing directly into the measuring
area. Air blowing into the measuring path can result in no
measurement reading.
7. To get accurate measurements, make sure that the Puck and the bars are
close to the ambient temperature of the work environment.
